[Rosalie’s POV]

After the meeting, I’m led silently back to Diego’s room, where I know my cage is waiting for me. It seemed that even though I managed to help him get his father to go along with his plan to bring the villagers here, he still considered me nothing more than a tool.

When we arrive at our destination, I begin to make my way to my proper place, only to be stopped by a hand wrapping around my wrist. Frowning, I turn to see Diego’s dark eyes examining me.

“What?” I ask as silence falls around us. “Was there something else you needed my help with?”

“Where are you going?” He asks, taking me by surprise.

“Isn’t it obvious?” I huff, nodding toward my cage. “I was going to my home.”

For a moment, Diego doesn’t speak as he looks from me to the cage and back. Whatever he is thinking is hidden, but I’m almost certain I see a hint of regret there.

“You’re still recovering,” he says slowly, shocking me again. “You should rest somewhere a bit more comfortable.”

“And where is that?” I

    [Rosalie’s POV]My eyes widen as I try to make sense of what exactly is happening. The scent of Diego’s arousal is attacking my nose, and I can feel his bulge pressing against me.“Let me go,” I hiss, realizing where this is going. “I don’t know what is wrong with you, but you need to get your shit together!”With each passing minute, my panic was building due to the memories of being in this same situation in another place at another time. Just the thought of being left helpless by another man scared the shit out of me.“I said let go!” I repeat when Diego doesn’t move. “I’m not one of those whores!”“Are you not?” He counters, leaning down so that his breath tickles my skin. “From the way your body is reacting, I’d say that you are. Look at you; you’re shaking like a leaf.”Because I was panicking! How could he mistake that for actually being excited? Was he that fucking self-centered?Yes. The answer was yes. Even if he showed the slightest bit of kindness to me today, it was clear

    [Rosalie’s POV]Clawed hands reach up and grab at me, tearing my skin and pulling me into the floor beneath me. At least, that is how it feels, but I’m not sure if it is my physical body that is being pulled or my very soul.Closing my eyes, I let out another scream before I felt myself tumbling and crashing onto hard earth that cut me as heat pressed against my skin.Goddess, it hurts. It hurts so bad, but it doesn’t stop, and when I finally pry my eyes open, I find myself staring up at a bloody red sky with dark lazily drifting across it. Occasionally, they light up with thunder, but no rain falls.“Are you just going to lay there?”Eyes widening, I turn my gaze in the direction the voice came from and find a woman clad in a black robe that is open at the top, giving the perfect view of her ample breasts. Her long, dark hair cascades around them and surrounds her face, which looks so much like mine except for the glowing red eyes and the pointed teeth.“Surprised?” She giggles. “I’v

    [Diego’s POV]I shake the woman in my arms as her body radiates an intense heat and the black marks spread across her skin. She is still unconscious, but her mouth moves as if she is having a conversation with an invisible entity, and when her eyes finally open, they are bleary.“Hana,” she whispers, blinking a few times. “Don’t…”Frowning, I wait as she gets her bearings, and when her gaze comes to rest on me and widens in shock, I open my mouth.“Since you seem to be awake,” I begin, trying to figure out what the fuck happened to make her like this. “What did you do, and why are you out of your cage?”"I..." she begins while her eyes look around the room as if she is searching for something. “You were suffering, so I..."“So you decided to break out of your cage and then collapse in the middle of the floor?” I snap.“No!” She manages. “I helped.”Helped? Who the fuck asked for her help? Feeling my annoyance flare, I remember the phantoms that haunted me in my dreams; they disappeare

    [Rosalie’s POV]I stare straight ahead, taking in the woman bent over Diego’s desk as she stares on with both amusement and annoyance. It’s clear that she is challenging me by the way that she is looking at me, but why she is doing so is lost to me.“You’re sister!” Giddeon announces, reminding me of the reason we are here. “Something’s wrong.”At his words, Diego’s eyes grow wide, and anger flashes across them before he is moving. However, before he can reach us, I have to avert my gaze as his still-erect dick stares at me.“Cover up!” I hiss.“It seems she isn’t interested in you,” the woman on his desk laughs. “Look at her, too afraid to even see you half naked.”“Shut the fuck up!” Diego growls before storming past me and Giddeon. while fixing his situation. “Does it look like the fucking time for jokes?”At his words, the woman's expression shifts from amused to hurt, and I almost feel sorry for her.

    [Diego’s POV]I stare down at the packgrounds, trying to find any sign of my sister, but she’s gone. Cursing, I hoist myself onto the window sill and then jump. As my body plummets toward the earth below, I shift into my lycan form so that when I hit the ground, my senses immediately connect with the earth beneath my feet.Closing my eyes, I sniff the air while feeling the vibrations of the earth until I locate her just to the north. She hasn’t gotten too far yet, but one thing she was known for was her speed and agility.Not wanting to waste any time, I snap open my eyes and begin to move, just as a large black wolf with smoke radiating from it lands beside me.Eyes widening, I take it in until I realize that it is the woman.‘Why are you just standing there?’ She growls in my head, taking me by surprise. ‘MOVE!’As the words leave her, she shoots forward, turning into nothing more than a blur of black while she rushes toward the forest beyond.Snapping out of my daze, I begin to fol

    [Diego’s POV]I stare into the woman’s eyes as I wonder if there is something more she is trying to get at. When she continues to stare at me unflinchingly, I know that she is truly convinced that the answers we seek will be there.Sighing, I turn to Giddeon as he waits for orders.“Get a team together,” I announce, deciding that it wouldn’t hurt to do what the woman suggested. “In a few days time we will head back to the outer village.”“Yes, sir,” Giddeon says, giving a slight bow. “And what if we don’t find anything?”“We will cross that bridge when we get to it,” I respond, suddenly feeling exhausted.“Who are you to make commands?”Tensing, I slowly shift my gaze from Giddeon to my father, who is watching me with narrowed eyes. Of course, he would have an issue with me doing what I felt was best, especially if he didn’t agree with it.“Hasn’t enough damage been done?” He continues when I don’t speak. “Your sister is now missing, and many members of our pack are already dead.

    [Rosalie’s POV]“That’s enough.”Diego’s voice rings out as I open my mouth to argue more, and with it, I feel almost as though my throat is being constricted. Shit. Having his mark on my skin was going to prove to be an issue, but this wasn’t the first time that he used his command against me.Shivering, I try not to remember how fucking helpless I felt laying on that floor, fingering myself for his enjoyment. As long as I was more cautious, something like that wouldn’t happen again.“The two of you arguing isn’t going to get us anywhere,” Diego says now as his father fixes his narrowed gaze on him. “We need to act soon.”“Then you and the woman go stay in the village until you can find the source of the plague,” his father announces.“Are you really suggesting that?”“Fine,” I snap, cutting Diego off before he can finish. “We’ll do just that.”At my words, Diego’s disbelieving gaze comes to rest on me. I have to stop myself from smirking at how annoyed he looks, but if he truly wan

    [Diego’s POV]I try to ignore the uneasy feeling that is beginning to build in me due to what the hell I just felt erupt between the woman and myself. If that wasn’t bad enough, how Giddeon was acting was pissing me off as well.“Go and prepare,” I snap when he continues to smirk at me. “You’ll be accompanying us along with a few others.”For a moment, Giddeon doesn’t speak as he finally drops his amused attitude, and shock flashes in his eyes.“I’m… what?” He gasps, his face paling. "What did you..."“You heard me,” I smirk, turning and beginning to move. “You’ll be accompanying us on our endeavor to find the source of the plague.”With that, I don’t wait for any more responses before I’m tugging on the woman so that we can begin to pack for our journey.When we arrive at our destination, I release her and head into my closet so that I can begin to rummage through clothes. Once I’ve grabbed the essentials, I head back into my room to find that the woman is standing in the middle of t

    [Chanel’s POV]I stare on, watching as Anthrose and the rest of his group surge forward, attacking the guards who were just sneering at me, and I can’t help but laugh at the difference in their demeanors.“Cowards,” I spit, sitting up and snapping my thumbs back into place. “Acting all high and mighty until actual danger appears.”As I speak, I grab the chains that are holding my ankles and begin to pull while ignoring the pain that shoots through me. Fuck, they were strong, but I was stronger. Soon enough, they begin to crack and then break apart, allowing me to finally get up and move to Gil’s side.“Just hang in there a bit longer, alright?” I tell him, clutching his cuff and starting to fight with it. “Then we will get you out of here and…”“No!” Gil gasps before breaking into a coughing fit. “We can’t just leave!”Frowning, I take in his words, trying to make sense of what it is that he is saying, but I don’t get to question him further before pain shoots through me and my body a

After a quick breakfast, we head out with me leading the way since I’m the only one who can get a feel for the location that we are searching for.Together, we silently move across the island while keeping our senses alert in case of a surprise attack. However, the expected never happens, and by the time we are close to our destination, I can’t help but feel like all of this is too easy, and by the tension I feel from my companions, I know that they’re feeling the same.“Up ahead,” Sam murmurs, coming to my side. “I can see it.”Nodding, I take in the shining figure that I’m certain is the temple, noting the dark aura that radiates around it. Even from here I could tell that the things residing within were something the normal wolf wouldn’t want to approach, but given what we were fighting for, I wasn’t going to let it stop me.“Prepare yourselves.” I announce, letting my

And when my group can’t seem to move anymore, I have to call the search to a halt. However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t continue to keep my connection with the earth, searching while dinner is made.It’s a silent ordeal, as I’m certain that the entire group is feeling the weight of what is at hand and what we may encounter when we find the ones we are searching for. I could only assume that a fight was waiting for us, and it was because of that that I even agreed to res.Sighing, I close my eyes and let myself slip deeper into a trance, searching until I feel something press against my consciousness that snaps me to alertness as hope flares through me along with a longing that I’ve never felt before.‘Chanel,’ I whisper, not daring to truly believe that I’m feeling what I am. ‘Is that you?’For a moment, all I’m met with is silence, causing me to believe that

    [Anthrose’s POV]My body screams at me, begging me to stop, to take a break, but I can’t stop moving. Behind me, I can hear noises of complaint and exhaustion escaping my companions, making it clear that they’re feeling the same thing as me. However, I can’t stop moving; I won’t stop moving; just the thought of stopping makes me so damn anxious I want to fucking destroy something. I can’t stop the feeling that if I stop looking even for a second, Chanel will vanish completely.Shivering, I try not to think of a world where she doesn’t exist somewhere. Sure, it was one thing to keep my distance and allow her to live the life that she deserves, but to even think of her not being somewhere alive and happy damn near kills me.‘Chanel.’ I call to the darkness, hoping and praying that by some miracle she will respond to me. ‘Where are you? Why aren’t you answering me?’“Anthrose.”I immediately freeze as the voice reaches me, but I realize a moment too late that it wasn’t Chanel’s voice, it

    [Chanel’s POV]I look around me, taking in the stone walls around me, noting how they’re cracking, allowing vines to grow through them while my intrusive thoughts try to get the better of me. They’re screaming things like what if this place were to collapse. What if you find yourself at a dead end? What if you run out of air? It’s irritating as fuck, and even though I keep telling them to shut up, they just won’t.“Hey,” I call to Tyson, who leads the way in hopes of distracting myself. “Are you certain that we are going in the right direction?”Since he was the one to choose our path and take the lead, I could only hope that he somehow could track the way out of this place, but what if he was just leading us deeper into this underground labyrinth?“Hey,” I repeat when he doesn’t respond to me. “I’m talking to you.”Frustration growing, I move forward and grab his shoulder, forcing him to turn and look at me, but I’m not met with the same gaze that I was used to. Instead, I’m met with

    [Anthrose’s POV]We spend the rest of the day searching for any sign of Chanel or Tyson, but all we come up with is nothing. It’s almost like neither of them existed or were somehow spirited away from earth.“We should rest.” Henry, one of Ulrick’s warriors, suggests later that evening. “We will be useless in helping them if we are exhausted.”“Are you saying that this little bit of action exhausts you?” I demand. “If that's the case, you are more than welcome to rest, but I’m going to keep searching.”“But, sir…”“I said I was going to keep searching!” I growl, not giving two fucks if I came across as argumentative or defiant. “There’s no fucking way that I’m going to stop until I find her.”Even though only a couple of hours had passed, I couldn’t help but feel like days, even weeks, had already gone by without Chanel’s presence. It was fucking maddening, and I was beginning to feel like a crazy man. How the hell did I manage to stay away from her for so many years in the past?No.

    [Chanel’s POV]I watch as the crevice above me grows farther and farther away until my body is hitting the wolf beneath me, who takes most of the impact. Together, we lay there, watching as the ground slowly begins to close once more, eliminating the little bit of light around us until we are plunged into darkness.Snapping out of it, I jump up and then look to the wolf beside me, taking him in while wondering what exactly he was thinking. And once I shift back into my human form, I wait as he stares at me.“What?” I demand, my annoyance flaring. “Don’t look at me like that.”Letting out what sounds almost like a huff of annoyance, he begins to shift until Tyson is lying on the ground in the wolf’s place.“What?” He asks as I narrow my gaze. “Why are you looking at me like that?”Why? Because he was the reason we were here right now. He wasn’t paying attention to where he was going when he saved me.“Do I really need to answer that?” I sigh, beginning to look around, taking in the tun

    [Chanel’s POV]“Right.”I give Anthrose one last look before turning my gaze toward the creatures that are slowly making their way toward us. They’re different from the beasts that we’ve encountered until this point, but they’re also the same.These look almost like worms, but they have legs and buglike faces. I guess if I had to compare them to anything, it would be centipedes. Just watching them move gave me the heebie jeebies, but I wasn’t about to let them stop me from getting to what I wanted.Giving Anthrose one last look, I begin to shift, and once I’m in my wolf form, I move, surging forward and attacking the creepy crawly closest to me. When we clash, it immediately attempts to roll its body around me, but I leap out of the way.Landing on top of it, I watch as the rest of our group joins in the fray, beginning our first official battle since arriving on the island.‘Don’t get yourself killed.’Anthrose's voice reverberates in my mind, causing my heart to race and giving me t

    [Anthrose’s POV]I don’t speak as Chanel’s question flows over me, settling into the deepest pits of my soul along with the loathing and disgust that I’ve felt since the day the thing she is asking about happened, and as much as I would like to say, I know that I can’t.“The plague.” I respond instead, deciding that was a good enough explanation. “It affected my eyes.”“You’re lying.”Chanel’s response is firm, and I know that due to our bond, there was just no way that I would be able to get away with lying to her.“How did it really happen?”How? That was an easy fucking response, but again, I knew that if I were to speak it out loud, then there was a good chance it would dig out the skeletons that I was trying so hard to not think about anymore.“Anthrose,” Chanel’s voice drifts through my muddled thoughts. “You can tell me anything. You know that, right?”I did. But this was something that didn’t only involve me. It also involved her, and I knew if I were to open up about it, then
