"As much as I have enjoyed your hospitality Alphas, I must leave now and head back to my pack. There is an emergency, and my presence is required immediately."

Damon and I were in his study going over updates and possible sightings of Sarah and her cohorts. All had amounted to nothing so far. We weren't even surprised.

We didn't even know what kind of enemy we were on the lookout for, let alone how to fight it.

Sorayah had entered after knocking slightly at Damon's open study door.

I knew she would have to leave sooner or later, but I really wasn't ready for her to leave just yet.

But I knew I couldn't be selfish. Her pack needed her.

On the up side though, I knew she and Evelyn had been able to figure some stuff out in terms of protection spells. It wasn't permanent though, but it would have to do for now.

Damon stood up to shake her hand.

"We're grateful for your time and help. I'll have my gamma get you back to your pack along with the packages that we agreed upon."

    Damon went back around his desk to sit after giving another goodbye nod to Sorayah, and then we were out the door."I'm really interested in this healer Aliyah, if you don't mind, I'd really like to meet her upon my return. I know we have a lot of other things to worry about, but I really want to see her. If you can, that is." "Of course. Hopefully, she'll be here." Once we'd walked a distance and we were almost by the door, she pulled out a stick from her pocket. She said a few words over it and it lit up, burning slowly from one end.Noticing my confusion, she gestured towards Damon's study. "It's so he won't hear anything."Oh.I nodded. Wait, why though?"Why are you blocking him out?""I have something for you, regarding what we spoke of?" She lifted a brow at me. "I'm assuming you wouldn't want him hearing about that, or am I wrong?"In that moment, I wanted to hush her for fear of being heard, but then I remembered she's already taken care of it.Smart girl.Then she hand

    He blinked. Like he hadn't heard me properly but then he quickly regained his composure, and probably his thoughts too."What do you mean contact her? We've been searching for her non-stop already. How do you plan on contacting her?"Through snap maybe?I pulled out the candle from my pocket."She gave me this." I looked up at him as I held out the candle. He kept his eyes locked with mine for about five more seconds, trying to read me, I guess, before he tore them away to look at the object in my hand.He regarded the tiny candle resting in my palm."A scented candle?" His brows were furrowed but he looked mighty confused as well. "It's to contact Sarah, it can bring her consciousness to me."His eyes remained hard as he stared at the candle and then slowly back up at me."Bring her consciousness to you?" He said enunciating each syllable like he was trying to understand the sentence himself. "The same thing that's trying to kill you? Have you lost your mind?" His voice was calm an

    Mavis and I had walked out of the library and towards the pack house, discussing as we went.We decided to meet up at the library and continue with our research hoping to find something, anything. After a while of finding nothing meaningful, we decided to head out. "I still can't believe so much has happened." Mavis sighed. "And that wicked witch Sarah, I can't believe she- ugh!"I nodded silently as I walked alongside her. I still couldn't believe it myself, how gullible I'd been."I can't believe I let her braid my hair! All while she was trying to poison- wait," She paused like a thought just came to her. "That's why I was knocked out for almost a day.""What?""When I had some of that your blasted tea once, I was literally slumped over for a day, and I didn't know why. I'm sure it must have been the tea.""Oh, I remember that." I said recollecting the day that we went to see Evelyn and James had informed me that Mavis had been sleeping since the previous afternoon well into the n

    Huh, impeccable timing."Good day Alpha Adrianne, Mavis" she said as she approached us. And even as she stood before us I knew it wasn't a coincidence that she walked by us this very moment. Her steps were deliberate.And as I regarded her I knew something was wrong. She seemed uneasy.Sensing all this, I put my hands on her shoulders steadying her a bit. "Hey Mara, are you alright?""Yeah, no- well yeah, I'm fine, but I'm, I don't know." She sighed."What's wrong?" "I saw you walk out here and I decided to come look for you. I needed some help. It's my sister.""Aliyah?" "Yeah. She's acting weird." "Oh, so she stayed afterall." I said confirming some of the thoughts I had on my checklist."Yeah, she did. Ever since her encounter with the Beta a couple days ago, she's been acting weird." She said trying to gesticulate with her hands. "I know they're not mates cause she didn't feel anything, but afterwards she's been a bit catatonic. She says I'm exaggerating but I don't know." M

    I sat cross legged on the floor in my room wondering whether I should go through with this. Holding the candle in my hand, I tried to dissuade myself while also simultaneously pumping myself up for this. A two days had gone by since I started preparing for this encounter. Sorayah had added more detailed instructions for the candle on a piece of a paper she attached to the bottom of it. Among those instructions was an important note saying that I could only light it at sunset.So here I was, waiting. I also had to wait for Damon to get back with Marcus, who said he'll be here before sundown, which is when I need to light the damn thing. I have more of the pack members in the loop, who have a general idea of what is going on. And they are all ready to fight. And better suited to protect themselves. That and the fact that she could literally be anyone emphasizes the need for everyone to be on the lookout as much as they can. Look for those festering scars. I stared at my hand as m

    Her steely gray eyes made contact with mine.She looked shocked for a nanosecond but she recovered from it so quickly I almost thought I had imagined it."Adrianne dear." She tried to look weary. Tried. "You have to help me, something got me and has me locked up-""Cut the crap."And she immediately shut her mouth.Good."What do you want from me? No really, what do you want from me?""Hm, skipped right past the pleasantries, diving right in."I stayed silent, watching her.Studying all her minute movements with great precaution.She was here, but not fully. That I knew. But you wouldn't be able to tell from her mere physical appearance. By all standards she looked present, fully present and living. I noticed how her chest rose and fell gently, steadily with every breath she took. I noticed her throat move gently as she swallowed.I noticed her her pupils dilate and constrict as she occasionally glanced around the room, her eyes adjusting to the light.I noticed that little vein at

    "Everyone was supposed to die that day. We were not taking any survivors. We fueled his rage and need for vengeance and then had him attack your pack. Although," She frowned, "he initially resolved to only sedating everyone while he went in search of the Alpha. We needed them dead not drugged, but that was only a minor hitch. We lit a fire," she snapped her fingers, a flame igniting on the the tip of her thumb, "and unconscious people cannot escape fires." She ended looking far too smug for my liking. "We needed you all gone, and yet somehow here you are. You survived. He let you go. He was obedient in all things except for when it came to you." She gave me a once over like she couldn't fathom why anyone would have deemed me worthy of living at the time. Apparently now I'm her prize. Stupid bitch."At the time, we were upset, but now I realize, he couldn't have made a better decision for us. It all worked out perfectly, because as it stands now you are very important to us, and we

    I was at Evelyn's place now. Seated in the same chair I was when she told me that people were after me. Same chair I sat in when I was freaking out and scared.Same chair I'm now sitting in with determination and fierce resolve. "So, is it something you can do?" I asked her. This was probably the most important aspect of my plan, our plan. If this failed we wouldn't even have a plan.She pressed her lips together in a thin line, contemplating.I was getting more and more anxious by the second."Look, it's not the 'doing' it that's the problem. It is being able to sustain it that I worry about."I swallowed. "Of course, it's going to require a lot of energy and can put you at risk. I should have thought about that."She shook her head. "It's not exactly myself I am worried about. If I can't sustain the spell," she rose her brow, "Then the plan would most likely fail, and then everyone would be in danger." Of course, that too.I sighed. But there was no other way around this. We

    And just as I felt the pull increase, it stopped suddenly. Slowly I looked up to see wide blue eyes staring at me in shock. As quickly as it happened he pulled his hand out, thankfully spine-free. This however still led me to collapse on the ground. I was going to heal, yes, that is, if they gave me time to, but for now, I still couldn't feel my limbs properly. I felt a crack that made my body snap, my spine was realigning itself but it was excruciatingly painful and slow. All I could do was lie and watch Damon. Damon who for some reason was still just standing and staring at me. Sarah though, had apparently had enough. "I said for you to take her spine out!" I could see the blackness in his eyes trying to to return, and with all he had he fought against it. So much so that when his eyes started changing colour again I had a sickening feeling it was blood. And I was right.With a grunt he fell back to the ground, blood oozing out of his ears, eyes and mouth. He was spasming on

    I had heard the words.Loud and clear.Yet they rang in my mind like I had imagined them.'Take her spine out.'A very dangerous command uttered against me. And yet I still couldn't move.I had heard those words and I was still frozen in shock.Unfortunately, Damon had also heard them, and was ever willing to oblige.I could feel his fingers and claws pushing past my flesh, tearing muscle and sinew along the way as he continued to inch closer and closer to my spine. The pain was searing and numbing at the same time.I gasped and could only let out silent screams and breathless grunts. My body was still not functioning the way it was supposed to. My motor nerves were defunct but my sensory nerves were working overtime. I could feel every ounce of pain and then some.So when he finally made contact with my spine I felt chills all over my body. From my scalp straight to my toe tips. His hand slowly wrapped itself around the girth of my spinal column, the gaping hole in my back causing

    No."Attack her."I didn't even have time to register what she said because I was focusing on what was happening to Damon. In an instant, he had pounced on me while the other minions started to become visible around Sarah again.I've fought with Damon before, but we were training, and he was still him, and he didn't want to kill me.This time was totally different. I wasn't even fighting with Damon, I was fighting Sarah. I saw this because her eyes had turned as black as his, and she was focusing all her energy on me. She's entranced him.She's fighting me through him.Damon lunged at me, and I ducked and kicked him backwards. I tried to think hurriedly between rushed breaths and movements. How do I fight him? I can't hurt him. Will I hurt him if I fight him? Will it hurt her? He came for me again and bit into my shoulder, I reached my arms back, grabbed unto his shoulders, and yanked him off me, slamming him hard unto the ground. He grabbed my ankle and pulled me down to the

    All of a sudden, I was left alone. They'd stopped attacking me.They're trying to leave.I was scared that they'd do that.If they escape today, we might never get them together again to end this.I really hope Damon and Evelyn were able to pull through.Just then, from around and above me, I felt surges in the atmosphere.Simultaneously walking in, there was Evelyn with Damon and Marcus right behind her. I heard them before I actually saw them.Evelyn's hair was all loose, actually levitating around her as she muttered some words and kept her hands up in the air. In twos and threes, people all started filing in from the hedge entrance at the far end of the clearing. This was way more than we agreed upon. In a short amount of time, there were almost sixty to seventy people here, all looking ready to fight. I even saw Mavis and James line up behind Damon and Marcus.Evelyn's voice got progressively louder as I caught my breath, looking all around and feeling all my wounds close up

    I was in shock.When she was done doing whatever she was doing to the bubble she smiled. Because she knew what she was doing. She was distracting me. But I didn't even care about her anymore.I was frozen, staring at the woman. The woman who was still seemingly unconscious, fading fast and almost lifeless.The woman I would be replacing.The woman who sent me back when I almost died. The woman whose picture lies in my drawer with her brown long wavy hair, her hair that was not white because of age or even for the fact that she'd been overused or drained. Her white hair that was so in her wolf state. In her white wolf state. I'd stared at this face a million times in my worn out picture. I'd stared at this face even in the mirror. I knew her. I know her.It's her. It's really her."Only fitting that you've come to replace your mother isn't it. Generational blood is always the strongest." Sarah cackled.She was distracting me. Trying to throw me off. "One wolf supplying an entire t

    There was no one here.Nothing here. And there was certainly no matter right in the air where my fist just was.I stretched my hand forward but there was nothing there. Like I'd just imagined it. But I've been through too much to just overlook things.I closed my eyes and punched the air around that spot again, but nothing.Stop. Breathe and feel the surge.I directed my rage and energy again and let it out in another punch. My hand bounced back again. It felt like I had hit some sort of jelly. Some thick invisible sturdy jelly.What is this?This time, keeping my focus I placed both hands on where I thought this jelly was, and I held it. I could feel it. And it wasn't just a little blob. It was huge, like a whole wall of the stuff. What is this? Are they in here? Keeping up with it, I tried to focus more of my energy on it to try and get through the barrier but I couldn't break it. It was literally exerting the same amount of force pushing me away as I was putting on it. "Ahh!

    I'd committed the place to memory. I knew exactly where they were. And even if I didn't, they'd find me. They were expecting me. But they certainly weren't expecting me in the capacity in which I was going. And even if they were, they were in for a ride regardless. This ends today. It ends now. Walking further I started to notice the trees with the strange markings again. This was it, I was approaching dark woods territory. The etchings were barely visible, probably wearing away over the years or in their case probably decades, the bark protesting against this violation to its skin. I've known for a long time how I act under pressure, and I've known for a shorter while how my wolf acts under pressure. Right now I wasn't acting like anyway I've acted before. I wasn't shaking with apprehension or nerves, and I didn't have a rapid heartbeat filled with determination or wild aggression. I was just calm. Still. But I was blazing with fury.I could feel the ice cold flames wrap themse

    Fight day.It was today.A week later has felt like a year.But it's finally here. I lay awake in bed staring at the ceiling.I didn't want to sleep, but Damon insisted, he said I need rest to be at my best today.So I'm here at 2am trying to rest since sleep has inadvertently evaded me, while Damon paces all over the house, doing goodness knows what.He's restless, I know.We all are. Even though we don't actually leave until 4pm, it's been impossible to relax. I haven't slept for almost two days now, but sleep was so far from me.I was going to take the lead. Locate the 'sanctuary' as they call it, by myself, and then have Damon and the rest follow my trail a little while later. How was I feeling right now? Scared?No.Anxious? Yes. I want to get it over with.Angry? Well, let's just say that whatever we have planned for them, they've got it coming.I spoke to Sorayah on the phone yesterday, she's already trying to make it back but I'm not sure what time she'll get here.It's

    ***A few minutes had gone by and we were still deep in conversation, regarding the sisters, what was happening, well the main gist of it and how we had to move forward.Even though I completely engrossed in the conversation I caught his footsteps before he even stepped on the lawn.I glanced over at Aliyah who had her eyes trained on Evelyn as she spoke of healer capabilities when they are in full bloom.I could sense him approaching. He was now outside the door. And by the way he lingered there for a whole five minutes I'm sure he knew who was in here. He was here to go over some things with Damon, something I would have to sit in on as well at some point.When I had planned this earlier I didn't think that it would take so long. I didn't even consider them running into each other. Is it going to be awkward or is it actually a good thing? To clear the air maybe?He finally stepped in, Sam, the head guard, in tow. They walked up to us and then greeted me."Alpha." They both said a
