CHAPTER FORTY ONE

AUTHOR’S POVRyker pressed himself down into the chair, trying to keep himself from doing anything too drastic. If he couldn’t keep his emotions in check, then he would reveal everything going on.He’d known that Ophelia’s return was near, but he didn’t know how soon. Since she’d left for school, things hadn’t been easy for him. For starters, there had been no one to help him keep an eye on Orla, he’d been alone and without company, and he simply missed her presence. Despite what he’d led everyone to believe, his true mate was Ophelia, and not Orla like he’d convinced everyone to believe. That was what made being away from her an even more bitter pill to swallow. He simply wanted her to be by his side, so that he wouldn’t have to face all the struggles alone.After her return, Orla had postponed her torture of the men in the basement. He’d found her attitude towards them surprising, especially with the way she’d stabbed that person. As their Alpha, he’d felt every ounce of their pain

CHAPTER FORTY TWO

ORLAOphelia’s return completely threw me off balance. I hadn’t been expecting her, and now that she’d showed up, things might not have gone as I had initially planned. I didn’t need her around right now, especially when things were reaching a peak of some sorts.On a brighter note, it meant that all the things I’d placed in store for her could finally start to play out, starting with ruining her relationship with Ryker. As he’d driven a wedge between my sister and I in my past life, so would I return the favor by making it difficult for him and Ophelia to even breathe the same air.I’d noticed Ophelia sneak out of the house when she thought that there was no one watching, and I didn’t need to be told about what she planned on doing. In the days before I’d gone off to school, she and Ryker had become very close. Once upon a time I’d been happy to see them get along, oblivious to the fact that they were both betraying me. Now, I couldn’t be fooled so easily.Ella called, which was anot

CHAPTER FORTY THREE

AUTHOR’S POVBEFORE ORLA’S ARRIVALAlec took a deep breath as he stepped down from his car. He leaned against it for a few minutes as he watched cars pass by, people hurry to their various destinations, and the electronic billboards advertising one event or the other taking place in the city.He’d missed Saint Terrir a whole lot. The peace of mind he had, as well as the alluring quietness of the town, was something that couldn’t be found anywhere else.When his father had asked him to return, he’d been more than happy to oblige. He knew it was coming anyway—that his father’s two decades of reign as the clan leader was coming to an end, and he’d have to take over as the oldest son. The only hitch to this was that he’d have to have a woman in mind when ascending, because goddess forbid that he becomes an alpha and doesn’t produce any heirs. Till now, he still didn’t understand why such a thing was still necessary. Being married didn’t equate to being wise. It made no sense to him. Besid

CHAPTER FORTY FOUR

ORLAOn finding Alec, I pulled him into my arms and gently tapped him on the face. “Alec.”He groaned, and slowly came awake. After a few moments, he seemed to understand the situation, and jumped to his feet, eyes wide. He gave me a once over, and for a split second, I thought he wouldn’t be able to recognize me. Then, he tilted his head to the side, regarding me with confusion. “Orla?”He’d gotten so much older, but it had been over ten years since I’d seen him last. Of course he was bound to have changed. What made him stand out to me was the bright lock of jade green that sat among his head of curly brown hair, curling over his forehead.“Yes. But there’s no time to catch up now. I need you to tell me what happened here.” I gestured to the scattered store. “Where’s Ella?”Alec rushed into the reception aread without answering, giving me no choice but to hurry after him. “Hey!”He looked all around the store with a frantic look in his eyes. “No. No. No. I just met her. I just . . .

CHAPTER FORTY FIVE

AUTHOR’S POVA hasty bump to her head drew Ella’s eyes open. She looked as far as her eyes could allow, but couldn’t see much. She got the weird feeling that she wasn’t upright, but rather, laying on her side. Her limbs were frozen in an uncomfortable position, and she couldn’t move anything apart from her neck.She tried to open her mouth to make a sound, but all too soon it dawned on her when her tongue brushed against damp cloth that she’d been gagged. Cold, icy fear trailed down her back and she instinctively tried to force her body to move within the range of its confinement, but she could tell that things weren’t going to go how she planned it. For some time she continued moving, trying to find a way to free herself, but something caused the whole place to abruptly jitter, and nearly sent her rolling off where she was lying down.From the looks of things, she was in a car, headed to an unknown destination. Outside the windows, trees moved past, and rays of light peeked into the

CHAPTER FORTY SIX

MAVERICKOrla’s visit was a pleasant surprise, since I hadn’t been able to keep her out of my mind since the meeting we had with the SAC. Now, she stood before me, clad in a simple t-shirt and plain leggings that clung to herfigure, making her look even smaller. The stark white of her hair stood out even further.I could see in her eyes that she was greatly troubled, and all I could think of doing was to pull her close to me and cover her in my arms. But since I couldn’t tell how she would have taken it, I kept my hands majorly to myself.“I need your help finding Ella,” she said quietly, almost as though she didn’t imagine herself standing before me and asking for help. “She was kidnapped.”The young man, likely around my age, behind her fidgeted awkwardly. “By a witch,” he said.I wanted to be sure I heard correctly. “A what?”“A witch. The people that took her, came with a witch. I could smell her foul magic right from the moment she entered the store.”An interesting discovery. I

CHAPTER FORTY SEVEN

ORLAThe journey to the place that had been specified on the map didn’t take long, but throughout the process, all I could think about was how Ella was doing.While we’d been waiting to leave, I’d gotten a message from an unknown number that told me to come to a certain location all on my own. When I showed Maverick the message, he simply nodded and told me that everything would go well. I wondered what he’d meant, but I decided to just put my faith in him. He was an intelligent man, and as such, had grown up making decisions that others would have deemed too difficult. If there was one person I could trust in this, it was him.During the car ride, I tried to reach Makila, but I didn’t reach her, or rather, I called and she didn’t pick up my calls. It was an unusual occurrence, and since I was already getting consumed by anxiety, it only served as an addition to my fears. I settled for hoping that she was nearby.Maverick came up with the idea that it would have been better for me to

CHAPTER FORTY EIGHT

MAVERICKI didn’t want her to go on her own, but I found comfort in telling myself that we would end up reunited later. We had a lot of things to talk about, mainly about the kiss we shared.Although there was a temptation to lose focus on other things, and put my mind on it, I knew that there were other matters that required my full attention. I had to put a stop to the person that had been terrorizing our town for the past three years. Thankfully, thanks to help from Frances and Jules and Everett, we have finally been able to track down the person responsible.Because of this fact, since Orla had to go to the site before us, I couldn't afford to miss even a step involved in this elaborate plan, lest everything fall apart.Once Orla went into the forest, I hopped down from the spot I'd chosen to watch her, and slowly trailed her from a distance, using a slightly different path.Alec followed behind me, far too silent. Anxiety rolled off him in palpable waves that I could almost taste

CHAPTER FORTY NINE

MAVERICKAll over again, I found myself trapped in a waking nightmare. Right before my eyes, Makila’s face seemed to change, turning from a face that had become almost familiar into one that I knew far too well, for it had tormented me for most of my life.She . . . was the one that had slaughtered my parents. The one that had set everything that I loved ablaze, and left me to be the one to pick up the pieces. I didn’t—couldn’t fathom how I hadn’t observed it sooner, and how I didn’t search deeper with regards to my suspicion of her.“For years, I have taken my time, watching you until the right moment came and I could finally get my revenge. Sparing your life was something that I had to do, although it hurt that I had to.” She bent over Sonia’s corpse and wiped her bloodied hands on her clothes, paying no attention to the fact that the person was once a living, breathing creature. “But isn’t it wonderful that you came right here, to me, after all these years?”Taking her head on woul

CHAPTER FIFTY

MAVERICKI bounded into the woods, with Alec barely holding on to me. The night had come upon us, moonless and sudden. I knew that we were being chased, so I pushed my linbs harder, I made every leap I took higher and further than the last, and I didn’t look back, not even for a millisecond.I unleashed a howl, and hoped that the rest of my packmates would find their way here before Makila did.The ground shook beneath me, and I leaped to the side just mere moments before the earth collapsed inward, forming a deep hole in the ground large enough to swallow me, even in this form.The same thing happened again, and this time, it almost caught me. While I managed to escape it—although just barely—Alec’s unconscious form shifted on my back, and I had to slow down a little bit just so that he wouldn’t tumble off me and get us killed.Deep in my head, I started to feel the pull of a telepathic bond, and knew that definitely, Derek and the others were well within reach, and would emerge very
