I stared ahead at the large bonfire blazing in front of me. Blue and green smoke wafted from it, filling the sky, and I could just make out the remaining bodies of the centaurs within.

Asher, Antoine, and Ashton hovered close to it, talking animatedly while I sat alone. My mind was a mess after the centaurs came too close to my home. I knew that this meant there would be more, and by this point, I was beginning to wonder if getting my siblings out of the house and into the packhouse was a safe bet.

With the way things were going these days, I didn’t know when something would happen, and I needed them far away from the fighting. Even if Leah wanted to learn and the twins were some strange hybrid, I just couldn’t put them in danger.

    I rushed forward as fear clutched at me. How could a child just bolt like that and not even be scared? She was going to get even more lost, or worse.With hide behinds and centaurs roaming around this area, it was extremely dangerous and they would easily make a meal of a small child."Thia!" Ashton called from close behind me. "Wait for me!""Pick up the pace!" I hissed, not bothering to look behind me. "We can’t let her get lost!"I could just make out the child’s scent as I raced blindly forward. She wasn’t too far, and if I just kept going, I would be able to catch up. O

    When we got back to the packgrounds, Haidan and Antoine were waiting. Their faces held anticipation and fear as they eyed Brailyn."Did you kill her?" Antoine asked, stepping forward first."No. Quit being an idiot. " Ashton snapped. "She is just knocked out.""And who is this?" Antoine continued when he spotted Maria, who was still crying in Ashton's arms."Her daughter." Ashton sighed."So she is your kid?" Antoine asked, eyeing Maria.

    The room grew quiet as Brailyn continued to eye Antoine. Her eyes held no semblance of remorse, and she was making it clear that she didn’t feel bad about anything that had happened thanks to her and her father."It seems she will sleep forever." She finally sighed with a giggle. "Probably for the best anyway. Wouldn’t want her to see the downfall of her daughter. "Downfall? Was this Brailyn confirming what we already suspected? Was she actually involved in what was happening?"Are you admitting your guilt?" I asked moving forward."Guilt?" Brailyn repeated, seeming to consider. "I don

    "Try to calm down." Ashton suggested coming up behind me."What?"Whirling around, I fixed my narrowed gaze on him. How could he tell me to calm down given what had happened? I didn’t know if he remembered the shit that happened with those fools running free, but I sure as hell did."Do you know what will happen if they achieve their goal?" I asked slowly, taking a long breath. "Chaos and there is a good chance that Haidan will be overthrown, if not killed. Not to mention, they will take this pack back and turn it back to what it was. "Immediately, my siblings' faces flashed across my mind.

    For the next week, I stayed at home, spending time with my siblings. We had decided that by the next week we would go hunt down the mages and Brailyn. Till then, we could spend time with our families and handle matters.The whole ordeal was almost as if this would be the last, and it most certainly had me on edge. On the day of the locating ritual, I was a nervous wreck."Are you okay?" Ashton asked as I got into his car.He had come to pick me up because I wasn’t feeling well enough to drive myself. Since the morning, I was feeling queasy and dizzy. I didn’t know if it was nerves or just a bug, but I hoped that it would pass quickly.

    I continued to stare at the test in my hand, hoping that somehow one of the lines would vanish. How was it possible that this was happening? How was it possible that I was going to be a mother soon if the world hadn’t come to an end?I mean, sure, I knew how it happened, but I still couldn’t believe it.As I stayed there staring, a knock sounded, slowly drawing me from my daze. Sucking in a breath, I stood and walked over. When I opened the door, I found Ashton standing there giving me an expectant look.It was at that moment that all my composure cracked and tears began to fall.

    Despite wanting to continue to fight, wolfsbane that ran through my system eventually took its toll and I was left to go along with whatever it was that Andrew wanted.We continued to move through the quiet neighborhood where everyone was oblivious to the fact that there were enemies in their midst and towards town where the drunk and gangsters were just beginning to come to life.It took all my willpower to remain conscious as Andrew turned down alley after winding alley. Before long, we were in front of a gated complex with large metal fenxes that were topped with barbed wire.Using a pincode, Andrew easily opened the gate and stepped inside. As he moved forward the gate slammed shut behind us. Locking out anyonbehind who may have attempted to follow and llocking all who dwelled in the large cement building

    "You’re crazy." I gasped as another wave of pain rushed through me. "Why would you think that what you want to do is a good idea?"Did she really want to become the supreme ruler of the world? Was she even aware that if she managed to revive her father, there wouldn’t be a world for her to rule?"Do you realize what will happen if you go through with your plan?" I continued.I needed to make Brailyn see reason, otherwise we were all doomed. We were running out of time and something needed to be done."The world will cease to exist if you don’t stop those mages!"

    [Leah's POV]I looked around the table at all the smiling faces who were here to celebrate my 21st birthday. Even though I insisted that I didn't want to celebrate because I needed to study for Ian's herbal medicine quiz the next day, Thia insisted. After all, according to her, that was the day that I became a true adult."Auntie Leah," Serenity murmured, fixing her large blue gaze on mine. "Why do you look so unhappy?"For only five, she most certainly was perceptive. However, how could I possibly say that I wasn't happy because the one person I hoped to see here wasn't present?"I'm okay." I murmured, jostling her dark wavy hair that was the exact color of Haidan's. "I'm just tired.""You're lying, auntie." My nephew, Devlin, huffed."Leave your poor auntie alone." Thia snapped, shooting a glare towards her son. "Today is to celebrate, not to interrogate.""But...""No buts, young man." Ashton warned, making his way to the table from the kitchen.As he took his seat beside Thia, I s

    [Thia's POV]I stood on the stage, staring out into the crowd of familiar faces and strangers. Today was the day of my ceremony to become luna of Ashton's pack, and I still found myself unable to believe that this was happening. After recovering from Lord Santos' attack and saving the world as we knew it, you would think that I would be happy to be going through something like this. However, it was nerve-wracking and my heart was hammering in my chest.Sweeping my eyes across the crowd of onlookers, I found my siblings standing in the center, smiling. The twins were thrilled that their older sister was being made a 'queen' and Leah was happy to be getting more involved with pack life.Letting out a breath, I looked at Ashton as he made his way towards me. A brilliant smile played on his lips and his eyes were ablaze with delight as he reached out and took my hands for all to see."Don't be nervous. Otherwise you'll stress out Devlin. " Ashton murmured, leaning in close to my ear.As

    [Ashton's POV]My heart pounded in my chest as we raced towards the portal that would take us back to our world. For some reason, I had a bad feeling that something was happening there and didn't want Thia to be put in any more danger.When we arrived at the portal, Haidan and Antoine were the first to go through, followed by Asher, leaving only Thia and I."Go!" I called as Thia eyed it. "I'll be right behind you.""But…""What a cute scene."Shit, shifting my gaze from Thia, I looked to where a large man with glowing red eyes and long black hair was making his way towards us."You," Thia growled, seeming to recognize him. "Seems you discovered my escape quicker than I thought.""Go!" I called, grabbing Thia and jumping through the portal.Light swirled around us as wind tore at our skin before we tumbled onto the ground of our hideout in the inbetween."Why did you do that?" Thia hissed, quickly getting to her feet."What's wrong?" Haidan asked Antoine, drawing our attention."Brail

    [Thia's POV]I watched with wide eyes as Andrew and Ashton rolled around on the ground. I was having a hard time believing what was directly in front of me and couldn't help but wonder if it was a dream.'Get out of here, Haidan and Antoine are waiting by the window.' Ashton huffed as I remained in place.'I'm not leaving you.'How could he possibly expect me to just up and leave while he was fighting a powerful vampire?Looking around, I tried to find something that could be used as a weapon. When I spotted a torch sitting against the wall, I began to move.I weaved in and out of the bodies that were locked in battle until I reached what I was after. I could only hope it wouldn't be too hard to dislodge without my lycan strength. Reaching up, I wrapped my hands around the smooth wood and began to pull. After a few tugs, it began to move, and then, with a loud crack, it snapped, giving me the perfect edge to do what I had in mind.Turning, I quickly ran back to where I left Andrew an

    [Leah's POV]"Have you heard anything yet?" I snapped, stopping in the middle of the room I was currently waiting in with Ian and Dion."Not yet." Dion huffed in annoyance. "Are you going to ask that same question every five minutes?"It had already been almost a day since Asher and the others left to seek the help of the necromancers to help Thia. Initially, I tried to go with them, but the irritating kitsune brothers held me back."I wouldn't have to bother you if you hadn't trapped me." I growled, shooting a glare at Dion. "Blame yourself.""You would have been no help to them." Ian sighed, fixing me with his stoic gaze. "Their mission is dangerous and you aren't even trained to fight."I bit back my response to Ian's dig. Even though I wanted to argue, I knew that he was right. I didn't know the first thing about self-defense after being protected by Thia up until now. Even though I knew, that didn't stop me from wanting to help."Anyway, please take a seat." Ian continued. "You'r

    [Ashton's POV]I looked around at the hellish scene in front of me, trying to determine which direction we should go. "We need to wait for the collector." Asher announced as if reading my thoughts."Collector? What the hell is that? " I asked, narrowing my gaze."The one that takes the damned to the demon lord." Asher responded matter-of-factly.Nodding, I turned to the tengu that remained on the ground shaking. It looked like even in death, his soul was still affected by the poison we dosed him."How long do you think til that collector arrives?"Now that we made it into the underworld, I had no interest in wasting time. I didn't know how Thia was and couldn't relax until I saw her."Any minute now.""Over there!" Haidan announced, pointing towards the horizon.Turning, I fixed my gaze on where she pointed and found two cloaked men making their way towards us with a rolling cage."Are we actually going to let them put us in that?" I asked Asher. "How the hell are we supposed to get

    I peered around the corner of the building we were currently hiding behind. According to those damn necromancers, our target should be leaving the bar around this time.As much as I hated doing someone's dirty work, I reminded myself that this was for Thia and that I needed to get it done as quickly as possible."If you remain so tense, we will be sensed." Antoine snapped from behind me. "I get you're terrible at being patient, but if we fuck this up, we won't be able to rescue Thia.""I know," I growled, pulling in my aura that I didn't realize was trickling out.Letting out a huff of frustration, I turned away from Antoine and fixed my gaze on the same door we had been watching for the past hour.So far, only overly drunk kitsunes and mages had exited, not the guy we needed to kidnap.Finally, after what felt like eternity, the door opened and out stepped our man.Keeping my gaze ahead, I watched as he looked around while pulling out a cigarette. When he was sure he was alone, he li

    [Thia’s POV]I stood in front of a large mirror, taking myself as Martha stood behind me looking smug. She had spent the last hour doing my hair and makeup, and now all that was left was to get dressed.Peering over, I noticed the blood red sequin gown hanging on the wall, as well as the corset perched on a chair beside it."I don’t think that is a good idea." I murmured, pointing to the corset. "It isn’t safe for a pregnant woman, correct?"For a moment, Martha remained quiet, considering my words.

"He is a little on edge since losing his mate.""Is she the one you need our help locating?" Fred asked, furrowing his thick brows. "Could you tell me what it was she did to offend the lord of the underworld?""It wasn't her." I growled. "Watch your damn mouth!""Ashton!" Haidan hissed, shooting me a look of disapproval.
