Book 2: Chapter 10

Without a second thought, I dive in the water. As my feet leave the ground, time seems like it slows down, almost stopping. Just as suddenly as it slows, it speeds up to triple speed, then back to normal. I feel like I’m being jerked back and forth on a wooden roller coaster. The sensation is disorienting but I can't move to stop it. As the speed of time keeps fluctuating, I realize Kas is instinctively trying to save herself by using her powers, but she’s freaking out so she can’t control them. As I am stuck in mid-air, another concern comes to mind. When Kas gets too stressed out, she has premonitions. When that happens, she turns catatonic. Sometimes it's for hours at a time. It’s unnerving to watch her go through it. Stuck in her own mind, watching traumatic events that haven't happened yet. If I am frozen in mid-air and she turns catatonic, she is definitely going to drown and I won’t be able to do anything but watch it happen. I watch helplessly from above as she slides complet

Book 2: Chapter 11

The doctors run every test they can think of but can’t find anything wrong with Kas other than the fact that she's exhausted. They determine that she didn’t ingest known poisons. Thank the Goddess for that. They attribute the exhaustion to using so much energy when she almost drowned in the pool. Based on how much weight she lost since the last time she had a checkup, the doctor doesn’t think she has had anything to eat in the four days she was missing. I try to convince her to eat or drink anything. She appeases me by drinking a few sips of water, but pushes away any food we try to give her. She won’t even take a bite of a banana, which is her favorite. When I found Kas two years ago, she was severely underweight from not being allowed to eat regularly. It took weeks before she could adjust to a normal diet. Since then, she has become a ravenous eater. Never turning down a meal, always snacking on veggies or a piece of fruit. “Come on, Kas. Just a few bites of toast, at least. A li

Book 2: Chapter 12

“Kas? What’s going on? Talk to me, Baby,” I urge as her eyes flicker from black to purple to black. She looks straight at me, eyes turning back again, and gives me an angry snarl. Her fangs and claws extend as the snarl turns into a deep growl. She crouches all fours with a pained expression. “Lex? Lex, it’s Bronx. What’s wrong with Kas?” I put my hands up, reluctant to get too close to the angry wolf trying to take over Kas’s body. I watch as Kas struggles to take control, but it is a losing battle. Her flickering eyes look wild and out of control. I have never seen her like this. I’m not sure how to react. “Delilah, get out of here!” James warns, as he puts himself between his mate and Kas. Delilah is staring slack jawed at her best friend’s internal battle when James’s voice startles her out of her gawking. She grabs her bag and scurries out the door, closing it behind her. “Lex, no!” Kas’s yell turns into a howl. Before James or I can react, Kas begins to shift. Her clothes

Book 2: Chapter 13

The cool morning air combined with the dew dampening my cheek rouses me from my sleep. I pull Kas closer to my chest so she won’t catch a chill. She grumbles a little at being moved, but doesn’t wake up. My little sleepyhead. She hates waking up early. I smile as I take a deep breath with my nose buried in her hair. Her fresh rain and lilac scent is mixed with something else. Mud and a little blood. Hold up. Mud and blood? My eye snaps open and I see the sun is rising over the treeline. We are still out in the woods. I look around to find we are in the grass next to the Blood River. We are both naked and look like we have been rolling in mud puddles. There is a pile of rabbit remains nearby. I notice my face feels sticky. I wipe my mouth with the back of my hand. When I pull my hand away, I see it's covered with goopy, almost dried blood that smells just like the rabbit carcasses. Gross. At some point during the night, Kas and I both shifted, but I can’t remember a thing after Saint

Book 2: Chapter 14

Lenora’s POV Musu and I meet in my office fifteen minutes after I mind link her to let her know we have new information and need her help immediately. She is dressed casually, a light blue tank top and white jeans. The combination makes her deep complexion look even darker. She has her hair wrapped in a blue and white silk scarf, hiding her beautiful twisted black hair. “I apologize for my appearance, Beta. I wasn’t expecting to leave the house today, but since Marco got called in, I got dressed quickly and came here with him,” her dark wide-set eyes are filled with an unneeded apology. “It’s alright, Musu. I am appreciative that you even agreed right now,” I praise her in return, “So here's what the Alpha told me. He wants information on a group called The Feral and the leader of the group. A woman named Cora, who may have magical abilities. He didn’t say she is a witch, but maybe?” “I don’t know about the name Cora, but I think I saw a book in Alpha Bronx’s private library that

Musu tries to hide her disappointment at Bronx’s reaction, even though we were both expecting it. “You did a good job, Musu. We knew he would not say yes that easily,” I place my hand on her forearm to comfort her, “It actually wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.” She smiles weakly at my compliment, “Thank you, Lenora. I suppose you’re right. At least he didn’t break anything.” “Listen, we have half an hour before the Bronx’s message goes live. How about we take a break from work? I’ll ask Mrs. Miller to bring a snack and we will watch the broadcast together. We can get back to research after.” Her smile widens to genuine gratitude as we make our way to the love seat on the other side of the room. I mind link the kitchen staff and ask for some snacks and drinks so Musu and I can relax for a bit. Ever studious, Musu keeps doing research while we wait for our food and the announcement to be released, but came up with nothing. It isn’t long before one of the omegas brings us foo

Book 2: Chapter 16

Kas’s POV According to the clock, it’s one in the afternoon. My stomach growling rouses me out of bed. Before he left, Bronx said Mrs. Miller was going to bring food up to the apartment. Seems as good a time as any to go see what goodies she brought up. I go into the walk-in closet and find a pair of sweatpants and an oversized shirt. As I’m getting dressed, my mind churns with the events from yesterday, trying to put some sense to all of it. How did I end up in the pool in the first place? Where have I been for the last four days? I think they are questions best thought about over a turkey sandwich and hopefully a banana. I put my hair up in a floppy bun before I head out to the kitchen. As I get to the bedroom door, I smell someone’s scent. It definitely isn’t Bronx’s dark chocolate and coffee scent that I love so much, besides, he told me he was going to the office. This scent is out of place in my home and I’ll be damned if I’m disappearing for another four days. My brain immedi

Book 2: Chapter 17

Bronx’s POV As I rush out of the office, I get a text. I look down to see who could possibly interrupt me right now. Lenora: Code Violet Shit. Code Violet means Kas is in a catatonic state. She’s having a vision about some sort of traumatic event in her life. I have given orders that no one is to touch her when she has a vision because she could accidentally use her powers on them. Carly informs the driver that I am headed to the garage and in a hurry. He is ready and waiting for me by the time the elevator opens. I jump in the back of the SUV and call Lenora as he drives. “Lenora, what’s happening?” “From what we can tell, Kas attacked James on purpose, but she didn’t know who she was attacking. Marco says as soon as he entered the apartment and saw Kas with her claws in him, he told her it was James and not an intruder. She stopped immediately and tried to heal him,” she explains. “What do you mean ‘tried’ to heal him? Don’t tell me he died,” I feel a pit in my stomach at the

Book 2: Chapter 18

I wait as patiently as I can for Lenora to finish giving Kas a hug. She finally lets her go and kisses her on the cheek. "I mean it. No more scaring me," she wags her finger at Kas. "I promise, Lenora. No more scaring you," Kas smiles back with a nod before turning to me. She takes her hand out of mine and brushes her fingers on the side of my face. "All I want to do is pull you into my lap and hold you all night, Baby, but I need you to tell us about your vision before you forget. Can you do that?" "Yeah b-but," she looks at me with watery eyes, "Can you tell me if James is okay? Was that real or part of my vision?" "It was real, Kas. Don’t worry, he’ll recover. We can take you to the hospital wing to see him tomorrow. Okay?" Lenora squeezes her hand in reassurance. Kas nods, looking at her hands for a moment. She collects herself so she can concentrate. When she’s ready, she takes a ragged breath and tells us about what she saw. "I think I saw some of the people who kidnapped

Book 2: Chapter 19

Musu’s POV When Lenora got a mind link that there was an emergency on the fifth floor, she ordered me to stay in her office. As soon as the door closed behind her, it seemed like the world turned deathly silent. I tried to mind link Marco, but he had a block up to avoid interruption. Something really serious must be happening. I try to focus on work again, but after about half an hour, I can’t concentrate anymore. I get up and start pacing around the room, picking up nicknacks, setting them back down, and straightening furniture as I wander back and forth. When that doesn't calm me, I adjust piles of paper, flip channels on the television, refresh the browser on my laptop. Nothing seems to hold my attention. When I finally sit back down on the loveseat, a couple twists of hair fall into my face. I blow them out of the way with a strong puff of air in my mouth, but they fall back into the same place. I don't know how it even fell out of my head wrap. Which reminds me, I need to make a
