[Leah’s POV]Pain radiated through me as I collapsed to the ground, trying to catch my breath. What the hell was this and why wouldn’t it stop? Was this some type of sick joke that Kelvin was playing or…"Help her!" Asher’s worried voice rasped as he appeared by my side. "Don’t just fucking stand th
[Asher’s POV]I remained in place, watching as Leah tried to fool everyone into thinking that she was okay with the current situation she was in. It was both awe-inspiring and heartbreaking to see. Especially when I could feel her worry and frustration through our bond. I couldn't even begin to fath
[Asher’s POV]By the time night fell, the Kitsune brothers led the way through the busy streets of the Inbetween’s black market. We had managed to easily arrive here without a portal thanks to Ian and Deon’s ability to teleport anywhere and everywhere. Now, it was just a matter of finding what we ca
[Thia’s POV]I stared straight ahead as Antoine and Ashton helped their packmates send off the deceased. Beside me, Haidan remained stoic as silent tears made their way down her cheeks and dripped onto her brown hair that hung over her shoulders.My heart broke for all of them. Whereas I didn’t grow
[Leah’s POV]A gasp escaped me as I watched Ashton, now in his wolf form, rush towards the lycans that were making their way towards us. Was he out of his mind? Even from where I stood, I could smell the rancid stench of rot and decay coming from them."Is he crazy?" I hissed, looking at Asher. "Can
[Leah’s POV]I looked around the boisterous pub as Asher broods on one side of me and Ian takes everything in on the other. Two days had passed since the attack by the infected lycans, and despite much insistence that I note join Asher in collecting information, here we were, back in the inbetween a
"That I am."Perking up, I fixed my gaze in the direction the voice had come from and watched as a mole-like creature wearing sunglasses and using a cane made his way towards us."However, I’ve managed to finish my work early just for you." He continued, taking a seat beside Ian. "Now, why don’t you
Ouch…"Anyway," Chloe continued, looking into the distance once again. "I’ve been observing you all morning and you’ve been acting strangely. If you don’t get it together, they’re going to grow suspicious. ""I..." I began, but stopped as Chloe got up and wiped dirt from her pants."That was all I w
[Asher’s POV]A gasp escaped me as my eyes flew open. What was… lifting a hand, I touched my forehead to find it covered in sweat. Sitting up, I watched as a black comforter fell down my body, revealing perfectly smooth skin."My scars..." I murmured as my memories of everything that happened up to
[Asher’s POV]"Asher!"Antoine’s voice drifted through the roar of the power I was slowly drawing in as Selene struggled to break free. From the sound of his tone, I knew that he already had an idea of what I was about to do and wanted to stop me."Stay back!" I called, turning to meet his terrified

[Leah’s POV]"Stop it!" I shrieked, shoving Selene aside. "You’re hurting him!"Behind me, I could hear the yells of my comrades, but I wasn’t about to stop now. Sucking in a breath, I lifted my fingers and began to wipe the blood from Asher’s injuries."Why did you let her do this?" I murmured, fee
[Leah’s POV]I kept my gaze fixed on Asher as I continued to touch Ian. Despite the indifference that remained in his features, I could see the jealousy burning in his eyes. Good. This meant that even when the darkness had taken over, he still felt the bond between us. That meant there was a chance
[Leah’s POV]"Mallard has been around for a very long time." Craig began, growing serious. "I know that sounds impossible, but some claim he may even be immortal."Immortal…Shivering, I tried to picture being unable to die. After losing those closest to me, I found it hard to imagine carrying on. I
[Leah’s POV]"You’re Asher." I insisted. There was no way that I could mistake the sensations I was feeling from where we touched."Who?" The man asked in confusion."Leah," Ian murmured, giving my body a slight tug. "That isn’t Asher."Frowning, I continued to take in the man. The eyes that met min
[Leah’s POV]I held my breath as Craig led us into a dark hallway with a long stairwell leading down beneath the earth. Once we reached the bottom, the sound of laughter drifted towards us, filling the deafening silence that was becoming unbearable."In here." Craig announced, beginning to knock an
