Chapter 21: Trisha’s P.O.V: “Lucas…” “I want the truth, Trisha,” Lucas moved back, his eyes a luminescent bright gold. “I’ve told you this before and I’ll say it again, I like you. And by like I don’t mean just as a person or just your personality. I like you as a woman and I like you enough not to care about us being from different species or that you work for the enemy. I’ve been honest with you from the start and I want that same honesty from you too. Is that too much to ask for?” I sighed and ran my hands through my hair. “No…you’re right. You deserve my honesty, as much as I can offer. And you deserve to know the truth.” I looked him straight in the eye then, blue to gold and I voiced my feelings to him honestly, something I had never admitted to before, especially not out loud. “I’m in love with Damien. And I have been in love with him for over a century now.”

Chapter 22: Trisha’s P.O.V: The sound of the door opening and closing woke me up from my slumber. I had no idea when I’d fallen asleep last night, but now the sun was high up in the sky and the rays coming through the open window fell on the floor, illuminating the entire room. “Trisha!” Neema yelled from the doorway as he ran across the room and dived onto the bed and placed an excited kiss on my cheek. “Good morning!” “Good morning, honey. Did Mark drop you off?” I asked, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. “No, I did.” Neema and I turned to look at the doorway to find Lucas leaning against the doorjamb in a dark red t-shirt and black jeans. It’s the first time I’d seen him wearing any vibrant colors and I have to admit, he looked darn delicious. Lucas smiled as if he knew exactly what was going on in my head before he eased into the room. “I brought you breakfast, since you missed dinner last

Chapter 23: Trisha’s P.O.V: Neema was almost exhausted by the time we arrived at the Sanctuary. I’d forgotten that other than his escape from the Rudolf manor and our escape from my home, he’s never been out in the sun before. So he took his time admiring his surroundings and soaking in all that he saw. Sometimes, Lucas and I took short breaks to let him wander off into the woods chasing butterflies or to just take in the fragrance of the wild flowers that grew with careless abundance all around us. Sometimes it was Lucas himself who’d stop and take us on a different route to show us something he was sure Neema would love, like the small tree houses built by the patrol guards on smaller trees which even Neema could climb up on. And even though it meant we would be late to the Sanctuary, it was worth seeing the smile on the boy’s face. I’d never seen Neema so happy until now and I realized just how much fear had crippl

Chapter 24: Trisha’s P.O.V: Lucas was shaking hands with an unknown man when I found him in the Primary Hall. The man, who I assumed was David Ruth, had short military-cut black hair and dark brown eyes and his skin was the color of dark honey. He noticed me before Lucas did and his eyes narrowed a fraction at me and then I realized he was looking at how I held Neema. Great! Not only was my entire race against me for saving a human, but now I’m getting odd looks from humans too? Shaking my head, I came to stand next to Lucas. “Lucas, I found what we need.” I told him. “It’s time.” Lucas’s eyes widened as he realized what I was talking about. “Let’s get going, its better if we get things done by tonight.” I sucked in a breath. Tonight! Damien and Lucas are going to come face to face tonight? “Okay,” I agreed and we both began to walk towards the Wall when David called us.

Chapter 25: Trisha’s P.O.V: Damien arrived early the next morning, half an hour earlier than the given time. Lucas’s men were instantly on alert. As I waited patiently for Damien to get out of his car, I replayed my conversation with Lucas in my head. “I want you to be with Damien at all times, but my men will also accompany you.” Lucas told me, his eyes hard and his shoulders stiff. “I don’t want to take any chances and risk Damien finding out about the rest of my den or the Sanctuary.” “You think I would betray your people like that?” I asked him incredulously. What had suddenly gotten into him? “Look, Trish, I trust you, but I don’t trust Damien.” He sighed. “I don’t know anything about his powers so I have to be cautious. If I could, I would keep you as far away from Damien as possible but you’re our best bet at get through to him.” “Lucas…what is wrong with you?” I n

Chapter 26: Trisha’s P.O.V: “I won’t lie to you, I hate seeing you with Damien.” Lucas said as I closed the door behind me and leaned against it. He was facing his desk, his back to me, but I knew he was aware of the slight hitch in my breath as soon as he mentioned Damien. “It’s like he’s a living, breathing extension of you. He knows all your little movements and as much as I hate to admit it, you know him just as well. You two even have some of the same habits, I’m not sure who picked it up from whom.” I shook my head. “Lucas-“ “No.” That single word held so much power that I held my breath, afraid of what he might say next. And then he turned to me, his eyes a brilliant topaz that seemed lit from within. “Just say it Trisha, get it out of the way. All this time I’d brought him up, you dismiss any assumptions, any theories I came up with and told me it’s one sided. But I can’t stand it if this comes between us; I w

Chapter 27: Trisha’s P.O.V Two hours later, after I had had the opportunity to take a shower and rest, Lucas had informed me that Damien had left without a word. That evening, I finally came face to face with Lucas, unable to stay away any longer. “So?” He asks after he’s shut the door behind me and I turn to face him. I decided to be blunt. “Why were you and Damien fighting?” “You’re not gonna ask who started it?” Lucas smiled and motioned towards the couches. “It’s useless to ask. None of you are going to give me a decent answer!” I told him after we’d taken a seat. “You’ve called him?” Lucas frowned. “Several times.” I shook my head in frustration. “But Damien didn’t answer even one of them.” “So he’s avoiding you?” Lucas smirked, shaking his head. “Didn’t take him to be the drama queen type.” “Lucas, it’s not funny. I’m scared for him. What if he’s in trouble?” I ask

Chapter 28: Trisha’s P.O.V “You reek of that mutt.” The voice came from right behind me, as soon as I had entered my room and shut the door. I whipped around to face Damien, my heart in my throat as I stared wide eyed at his beautiful face. “Damien?” He only narrowed his eyes at me, looking disgusted as his eyes examined me from head to toe; like he hadn’t just given me a heart attack. “What the hell!” I threw up my arms in exasperation, pushing past him as I went further into my room so we were no longer at a risk of being overheard. “I call you a thousand times and you don’t answer and now you show up with your judgmental little attitude, telling me that I reek of that mutt!” “You’ve always had poor choice in lovers, but sleeping with the enemy?” He raised an eyebrow, following me inside with his hands in his pockets. “That is going against your rules.” “Seriously?” I whipped

Chapter 29: Trisha’s P.O.V Two days after Damien and Lucas’s big fight, after he teleported in and out of the den, leaving Lucas and the rest of the Den spellbound and highly alert; I was standing in front of Lucas’s door, debating on whether I should talk to him about the whole misunderstanding or let him come to me. I know I have a lot of issues to sort out with him and discuss the reasons why Damien was in my room, but I just couldn’t bring myself to admit my mistakes. But this had to be done. It was the right thing to do. I knocked on Lucas’s office door waiting for him to answer but the door opened as soon as my knuckles came into contact with the wood for the first time. “Trisha?” “Lucas!” We said at the same time. “I’m…I was just…do you want to come in?” Lucas stammered. “Sure.” I smiled at his nervousness as he stepped back into his office and allowed me to come in. Afte

Chapter 30: Trisha’s P.O.V My heart leapt up to my throat. “What happened to Neema?” “He was playing with his toys and then suddenly, he just fell to the floor quivering, like he was having seizures!” Aiden cried. “I swear we didn’t hurt him…he just…” I felt a wave of relief wash over me even though the panic didn’t subside. “I know, Aiden. I know you and Mark would never hurt him. Tell me, where is he now?” “Mark took him to Dylan,” Aiden pointed down the hallway with his hand and I took off running towards the infirmary with Lucas hot on my heels. When we reached the infirmary, Dylan was trying to stabilize Neema. But as expected, he seemed to be utterly lost at what was happening to him. He looked up as soon as he saw us enter and immediately, he went over to Lucas. “Alpha, I don’t know what’s wrong with the boy. His vitals are all fine but he’s gone into seizure.” Dylan told
