My heart feels like it’s going to tear in two. “What? Why?” I ask, suddenly feeling embarrassed, and I try to cover myself up with my arms.He doesn’t respond. Instead, he walks over to a bag on the ground, pulls out a shirt, and tosses it to me without looking. I grab it and quickly put it on, but it barely covers the tops of my thighs.He reaches into the bag again, pulls out a pair of shorts, and puts them on. I hear a low growl from him as he turns around and looks at me. Turning back to the bag, he gets another pair of shorts out and tosses them to me to put on as well.‘Doesn’t he want us?’ Enyo asks sadly as I pull up the shorts. ‘Is he going to reject us?’“If you’re going to reject us, just do it,” I snarl, crossing my arms as if trying to protect my heart.“What?!” He explodes in a furious rage, causing me to stumble backward. He winces at my reaction, his shoulders slumping in defeat, a sigh escaping his lips. “I’m not rejecting you. I’m trying to protect you. If we mated ri

‘What the hell?’ Enyo exclaims, stunned.‘What should we do?’ I ask her, unable to move from the shock of what has just happened.‘We need to get to the asshole doctor. That’s what we need to do.’‘I don’t think we should do this alone. We need to tell the others.’‘We shouldn’t involve them. This could put them in danger.’“Shit,” I curse out loud.“Athena?” I hear Uncle Alex in the hall. He opens the door and sees me in the dark room on my own. “What are you doing in here?” He asks, looking around, confused.I hear Alpha Peter come out of the conference room and start talking to an Elder that is waiting in the hall. “The banishments will start at 8pm, and as promised, I will hand Doctor Shields over to you first thing in the morning,” he says as they walk in the opposite direction.‘We don’t have a choice, Enyo,’ I tell her and walk closer to Uncle Alex and give him a hug. “We need to talk,” I whisper in his ear as quietly as I can manage.“Why are we whispering?” he asks, whispering

Andreas P.O.V“Goddess, he’s a heavy bastard,” I say, straining to get the doctor into the back of the small car.“I’ll give you a hand,” my best friend, Noah, says as he opens the passenger door on the driver’s side to pull the doctor in from the other side.After a few moments, we finally get the doctor in the back of Noah’s car, and I double-check the ropes around his wrists and ankles to ensure he’s secure.Closing the doors, I get into the passenger’s side, and Noah gets behind the wheel.“So, Blood-Moon territory?” Noah asks as he starts his car. He goes to turn his headlights on, but I put my hand on his arm to stop him.“No lights yet,” I say. “Yeah, head toward Blood-Moon. They’ll let us know later where they want us to take him.”I stay sharp, adrenaline coursing through me, watching for anyone who might have followed me as Noah pulls onto the road from where we met on the outskirts of Moonstone territory.After half an hour, I’m happy that no one is following us, and I tell

Andreas P.O.VI walk into the small room where Gamma Alex has Doctor Shields tied to a chair.“Has he said anything?” I ask as I look at the disheveled doctor.“Nothing. He just sits there smiling like a madman,” Gamma Alex says.I grab the other chair in the room, place it in front of the doctor, and sit facing him.“You may as well talk to us, Doctor. Your silence won’t save your life,” I say to him.“Who are you?” Doctor Shields asks, a curious look on his face.“I’m a man who wants answers, Doctor. Why don’t you tell me who you’re working for?” I ask.“You’re one of them, aren’t you? One of the abominations?”Gamma Alex stomps over from the corner of the room and punches him in the jaw.“The only abomination in this room is you,” Gamma Alex spits out. “Now talk, you filth.”Doctor Shields spits blood on the floor, then laughs maniacally. “I’ll take that as a yes,” he says, then he spits more blood on the floor. “You have no idea the reach the people I work for have. So, if you thin

I arrive at the old warehouse and park behind Noah’s car. As I step out of my truck, I feel the sun shining down on me, but there is no warmth in its rays. I wrap my arms around myself, trying to warm up, but the coldness comes from deep within.I approach Noah’s car, where Noah, Ryna, and Uncle Alex are talking.“Did you see what direction he was headed in?” Noah asks Uncle Alex.“No. But I picked up his trail heading north in that direction,” he points towards the tree line.“Where were you holding the doctor?” Ryna asks.“Come on, I’ll show you,” Uncle Alex says as he walks towards the warehouse doors, followed by Noah and Ryna.I stay back, holding my nose in the air and breathing deeply, trying to pick up any scents. I can faintly smell Andreas and follow his scent towards a small building to the right of the warehouse doors. When I walk into the small room, I find his clothes folded up on a dusty shelf, with his phone on top.My heart aches as I pick up his shirt and hold it to m
