The fire roared around the house. The barrier blocked them from touching the house but it did very little for stopping the heat. Sweat beaded on Elly’s forehead as it was beginning to get more difficult to breathe. Smoke pressed against the barrier, thankfully, unable to get through to them.

“I don’t know how much longer I can maintain the barrier,” Darren said through gritted teeth. “We have to do something, fast.” Sweat poured down his chest. By the looks of the dark shadows spreading under his eyes the barrier would be falling sometime soon. Even if he could outlast the flames he wouldn’t be able to outlast the onslaught of attacks from the werewolves. Elly’s grip tightened around Amber as her mind raced to find a way out. She could use her blood. But to do what exactly? Even if they made it through the barrier there was still the fire and the angry werewolves.

“We need to go to the basement, now.” Rebekah and Jonah came into the kitchen, their features a mirror of Darren’s

    Elly Everyone’s eyes were on the ceiling before slowly lowering to meet each other’s. “Mom, please. Do it now.” Said Darren as Rebekah pinched the bridge of her nose. “Do it, Rebekah.” Elly’s words shocked everyone in the room including herself. “What the fuck!” Amber hissed at her and grabbed her arm. “I won’t let them sacrifice you but I’m also not going to let any more of my family get torn apart by fucking wolves.” She snatched her arm away from her cousin and walked toward the family that had tormented her all her life. “Bind me to Darren and we can get out of this mess. But don’t touch Amber or I’ll make sure the next meal those wolves have are you two.” She pointed the knife at them again. They glanced at each other trying to figure out what she was up to. There were very few times when she was ever this agreeable. No matter how much they told her her purpose, she fought and argued with them. She accepted that this was the life that her parents left her with, but it didn’

    Elly Everything happened so fast that it was a blur. With a deafening crack, the door flew off the hinges and broke apart as it hit the back of the couch. A large brown wolf stepped into the basement. Its large teeth were bared and the thick smoke rolling in around it made the low growl more menacing. Darren stepped forward dragging Elly with him. She pulled against his grip. He may be able to use magic but she couldn’t. Now that they were bound together he didn’t need physical contact to have access to her power. The wolf moved closer to them followed by two more. Darren looked down at Elly and smirked. In an instant, Elly felt all the energy drain from her body. Her knees buckled and Darren’s searing palm burned the skin of her forearm. He held up his hand and an inferno erupted from his fingertips. It engulfed the three wolves and filled the room with their howls and whimpers. The smell of singed fur and flesh made Elly gag. Darren wrenched Elly back to her feet. “This is just

    Rowan The last thing Rowan wanted or needed was a pissed-off witch. Lena’s eyes took in the book in his hands and drifted to the passed-out Kara snoring quietly in the lounge chair. Rowan didn’t know what to do. He could push past her and leave, there was little she could do to stop him. Or he could try to smooth things over. He’d learned just how pliable Lena could be. He slid the book back on the shelf where he could it and approached Lena. “She had a couple drinks and nodded off. I’ve been dying to look around in here since I was a kid. Was this library always here? I swear it’s new.” He got closer to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. Her face and neck were beet red as she refused to look Rowan in the eye. He tightened his grip on her and moved his face closer. “Come on, give me a tour. We can pick up where we left off.” He let his lips trail down her neck. Touching her set his skin on fire. It wasn’t the good kind that consumed him and left him begging for more. It was t

    Rowan It was the first thing that came to his mind but he meant it. Not only did she lie about being a witch but she was so powerful that she was going to lead to the destruction of his pack. It enraged him. Elly looked at him with pure shock until her features morphed into a rage that could equal his own. “What the hell are you talking about?” She snapped back at him. “I was under some sort of spell or influence and it took you all of two seconds to stop me. Instead of pretending to be helpless, you could have stopped those rogues. No one needed to die here.” Rowan wasn’t used to feeling helpless. He was the strongest wolf in any pack he’s seen yet when it came to the witches he was unable to lift a finger to stop them. Yet this powerful woman was content to sit back and do nothing. She shifted off of the ground and moved into his face. “If you think I enjoy not being able to use my magic you’re even dumber than you look.” With her so close to his face he was able to see the massi

    Amber The three of them were left standing in stunned silence. Whatever drug those psychos gave Amber was mostly gone but she could still feel it weighing her down. She had to force her connection to her magic and she could feel it was strained. The stress of it his her all at once and she felt her knees buckle. Before she could hit the ground soft fur moved against her. It rapidly turned into skin. Amber blinked her eyes. She wasn’t used to seeing werewolves let alone being so close to one as it transformed. The tall man looked down at her with his big blue eyes and held her close. “Thanks. You can let me go now, I’m okay.” She cleared her throat and tried to move away. His grip didn’t budge. He just stared at her with that same intense gleam. “Luke, we’ve got to go get them. Did you smell all that wolfsbane? There’s no way Eris should be on his feet right now. I can’t imagine how he’s even fighting.” The reddish-brown wolf transformed and tossed a pair of shorts to Luke as he slip

    Elly Every bit of Elly’s body was screaming with pain and exhaustion. The wound on her shoulder was the biggest culprit. She found she could stop her own bleeding, doing so took a lot more energy than she imagined. The wolves had originally bound her hands and made her walk alongside them as they marched them through the woods. But after she nearly collapsed they made Rowan carry her while they marched. As he walked she could feel his muscles moving against her. Everywhere they touched her skin was on fire. Elly couldn’t help her muscles being stiff as he cradled her in his arms. “I didn’t need you to carry me, I just tripped.” She said low enough for only him to hear her. She was still pissed at him. The more she thought about things the more her emotions moved toward rage. Why did he come to her family’s coven looking for her? He might not have known who she was when they slept together but he was still looking for her knowing his parents killed hers. The whole thing made her sick.

    Elly “That’s impossible.” She shook her head, still too afraid to come out from behind Rowan. “Mates are supposed to be important, right? But I’ve never seen you before now.” She said peering out at him. His wide chest heaved as he sighed. “You were promised to me when I was a child. But you were taken and hidden. When I finally found you I had to wait for the right time to retrieve you.” Elly narrowed her eyes at walked around Rowan. He tried grabbing at her to pull her back but she slipped away. Dane’s eyes brightened as she approached him, a smile spreading across his face. “Retrieve me?” Before anyone could say anything she hauled back and slapped his face as hard as she could. Everything from her arm to her wounded shoulder was screaming in pain but it was worth it. His head barely turned. He looked down at her with his big black eyes. “Retrieve me? Like some object that you misplaced. You call me your mate yet you knew where I was this whole time and you left me there. Left me

    Rowan “Mate.” That asshole said it with so much calm and confidence that Rowan had difficulty processing what he said. He couldn’t help but ask for clarification. When his hand moved to pull Elly behind him he knew Eris was coming back from the poison. Lies. It was one word but it was enough to confirm what Rowan was thinking. The more the rogue talked the more uncomfortable he got. Why did he seem so familiar? “I’m Dane, Alpha of the Blackcrest Pack. I can see you’re confused so I’ll speak in small words. Our pack is one of the oldest packs around. We were attacked over twenty years ago, our people either stolen or murdered. We’re taking back out people. We’re taking back our land. And I will be taking back my mate.” Rowan frowned at his words. His eyes darted around hoping some of the wolves had dispersed. Instead, it appeared more had shown up. Did you hear that Eris? He asked hoping his wolf had regained his strength. With or without him Rowan had superhuman strength. He could pr

    Amber“What if he’s right?” Her father’s low calm voice asked.“I’m counting on him to be. She needs to go to her mates if the plan is going to work.” Her mother’s voice was calm as well. Too calm.“Sessy…” her father warned.“Oh stop. It’s a gamble sure. But this is what she was born to do. We just need to do our part. To do that, Elly needs to go to her mates.” Ice flooded Amber’s veins when her parents’ words. Her feet continued to carry her forward until she was standing in front of her parents. Their conversation died down when they noticed her and they each turned their smiling faces toward her.“Hey hon, are you not feeling well? You look pale.” Her mother got up and touched her palms to Amber’s forehead and cheeks. Amber grabbed her by the wrists and lowered her hands away from her. The struggle in her mind between telling her parents about her vision and calling them out for betraying her cousin had her speechless.“Maybe you should go lay back down.” Her father moved from th

    AmberAfter everything that happened Amber’s parents treated her like she was made of glass. It was a non stop rotation of her parents and Luke hovering over her while she was in bed. There were even other members of the coven that popped in to check on her. It was heartwarming but unnecessary. She was fine, they had some of the best healers in the country.Despite all the rest and healing Amber she still felt worse than she had in her entire life. Seeing what happened to her cousin nearly broke her. Ellie felt more like a sister than a cousin. Their connection was instant and Amber wanted to protect it at all costs. Part of her even resented her parents for not finding her sooner. She replayed everything in her mind and realized there had to be more to it. There was no way someone as special as Ellie was just born to die. She needed to speak with her parents about it as soon as possible. Or at least she would if it weren’t for Luke. When he was near her it made her mind feel clouded,

    LukeThe murderous gleam in his best friend’s eye was sobering. Seeing the blood of his pack mate dripping from his alpha’s mouth was terrifying. Eris was always a strong-willed wolf. It was a sign of truly strong alpha that their wolf had a mind of their own but the human counterpart could remained in control. It was madness for Luke to challenge him in the first place. Unsure if it was his rapidly approaching death or if whatever was clouding his mind had passed but Luke truly regretted the challenge. More than that he was confused by it. Even his wolf, Solis, was confused. They loved their alpha. He could tell them to jump off a cliff and Luke would happily oblige.“Alpha Rowan, please.” He croaked. The damage to his neck was substantial and healing slowly. The only thing that healed slower than an alpha bite was a wound made with silver. It was rare for him to use official titles with Rowan but he was desperate. “We need to go. There are vampires right there!” The chances of thes

    Elly It was unclear if the injection of ice into Elly’s veins was from the clap of thunder that she felt in her bones more than she heard or the ear-shattering growl that somehow managed to be louder and more jarring. Her entire body locked up but she had to look. She needed to see. The massive white wolf that was once a welcome sight seemed off. Even from the distance they were at she could see its majestic fur was coated in blood and mud. It snapped and lunged at other wolves. This was a new fork in her path. Originally, she planned on going with the vampires to get away from her mates. “Planned” was a generous description. Elly was keenly aware that trusting vampires was more insane than trusting werewolves or other witches. The throbbing pain in her stomach was a good reminder that so far the vampires were the best option she had. Even now, with Rowan a scream away. If he hated her before he would despise her now that she was standing with a group of vampires. “How did we run i

    “You better be worth the trouble.” Light danced in the vampire’s black eyes as he looked hungrily at Elly. She gulped back her panic not daring to ask what vampires wanted with her. The presence of one of her mates was drawing closer. Her eyes darted to the side where Dale was coming closer to her hiding place.The smile widened revealing the lethal glint of the razor-sharp teeth that were hidden beneath his full lips. He leaned in close to her exposed neck. Elly gulped back her fear.“I am.” Her voice was barely audible. It wasn’t a sentence she truly believed. The only thing that mattered what that everyone else seemed to believe it. The smile froze on the vampire’s face. “I am.” although she forced her voice out stronger, it was barely more than a whisper. He leaned closer and a splash of light fell across his chiseled face. His cold black eyes searched her face as she continued to look between him and her still-approaching mate.All she needed to do was call out and she would be r

    Things escalated very quickly. Rain poured over them obscuring the light from the moon. There was no way the challenge could wait until they were back at the pack to do things right and from the look of the people around them, there would be more than one challenge. Just don’t kill them, Eris. Rowan told his wolf before receding to the back of his mind and giving him full control. By the end of his sentence, Lucas was already shifted and Solis was upfront and snarling. Rowan expected the fight of his life. He and Lucas had been training together their entire lives. No one knew his strengths and weaknesses better than his best friend.That’s exactly why Eris didn’t bother holding back. The second Lucas shifted and lunged for Rowan he easily dodged the attack and rounded on him. His attacks were relentless, grabbing him by the hind leg and slamming him into everything from the surrounding trees to the ground before slinging him toward the lake. He skipped across the water as easily as

    RowanIt was getting late. Well, later. The full moon loomed over them making it hard to tell what time it was. Its fullness was a constant reminder that time was running out for Rowan to figure out how to save his pack. The thought that he had already failed so many of them, especially his mother, was what was keeping him from sleeping.Things were spiraling out of control and Rowan couldn’t figure out why. His mother had been training him to be Alpha his entire life. When his father died he had taken the mantle at such a young age. Strategizing was one of his strengths. He had to be strategic to avoid being challenged before he and his wolf fully were mature. Now, it’s as if he had never come up with a plan a day in his life. As the moon grew fuller his time to come up with something was running out and it did nothing to help him. Even Eris was completely silent. He was more than just the voice in Rowan’s head. He was his conscience and guide. They ran the pack together. Partners.

    Elly“Another ward candle went out!” Rebekah came crashing in the door making Elly scream.“Listen…they can track us too. The three of us can’t hide together. Not with how powerful Elly already is…” It was clear he had a speech prepared, something he had been thinking about for a long time. It didn’t matter. Liv wasn’t hearing it. She pushed her palm against his mouth.“No. No. I’m not leaving my child. Ever. They’ll have to kill me first.” He grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her close.“Give me another option Liv. I won’t lose you two. I can’t.” His voice broke. There was an unimaginable hell on its way to their door step and he was powerless to protect his family. Rebekah cleared her throat.“If the problem is her power. Then it’s a problem you already know how to solve.” Liv choked on her tears. “What is she talking about.” Anthony held her back at arm’s length in an attempt to get a better look at her face. Elly held up one of her rubber duckies with a hole in the beak and squ

    Elly“That must have been really painful.” A deep gentle voice cooed in Elly’s ear as strong hands lifted her from the ground. “We told you not to attempt this without us. You both could have seriously gotten hurt!.” Elly wiped at the tears in her eyes. Her sniffles drew in the thick smell of smoke. Was something burning? She blinked her irritated eyes at the bright kitchen. Darren was still in his mother’s arms bawling his eyes out as if he were the one that just had his powers siphoned.“What do you mean, Anthony? Someone did get hurt. My boy! His connection is torn worse than before thanks to your little princess!” Rebekah spits the words at them as she cradled her son tighter to her chest. His round face was cherry red from either the crying, the pressure of his mother’s grip, or both.“I think we both know that any fault for your son’s current condition does not lie with my three year old. Perhaps you should take your boy and calm him down while my wife and I take care of things
