CHAPTER 171

KADEN’S P.O.VAgainst my better judgment, I found myself getting ready to meet Brittany tomorrow. I knew it was an incredibly stupid and rash decision- Caleb told me as much as well- but it wasn’t much of a choice. I needed a man inside the pack and she was the only one I could get my hands on. I didn’t trust her- it was becoming too much of a pattern to be around people that I didn’t trust- but I could tolerate her until I found Amelia.I followed her instructions to the letter and it wasn’t long before I found myself inside the goddess’ temple. I found some spare priest clothes at the back and quickly changed to finalize the plan. It didn’t take long before four rolled around and I saw her walk in. She had three guards behind her and I watched as she stopped in front of a marble statue.“Are you going to follow me around the entire time?” she spat in their direction. “Can’t a girl just pray on her own?”“We were instructed not to leave you alone. The Alpha doesn’t trust that you won

CHAPTER 172

AIDEN’S P.O.VIf I had known that Amelia going missing was all that it would take to make Kaden spiral then I would have helped Blake take her a long time ago.Kaden never went anywhere without adequate protection, especially not another pack and especially not in the middle of the night. He was always careful but since Amelia was taken, he had been sloppy and I knew it was only a matter of time until I would be able to catch him unaware- today was that day.I watched him sneak into the pack and for the longest time, I debated on whether I should inform Blake or not but I figured it had nothing to do with me. If Blake were to find out, he would probably confront Kaden and I needed this secret meeting to go perfectly so that I could do my own part.The rogues were waiting in the trees. It was amazing how well they could hide. I suppose when you’ve lived your entire life in the shadows that it almost becomes second nature. I wasn’t sure if they were that good or if Kaden just wasn’t pay

CHAPTER 173

AMELIA’S P.O.VBlake came in the next morning whistling and skipping the entire way in. I knew without a doubt that whatever news he had to share could not be good. He left two days ago, it was the longest he had left me so far and he once again had Jamal stay with me. I couldn’t wait for the time the time he would leave me on my own.Jamal mostly stayed out of my way but it was clear that he didn’t trust me. I was shocked that he hadn’t told Blake yet, it was clear there was some form of tension between the both of them and I wanted to find out what it was about, maybe I could use it to my advantage.“You look happy,” I began slowly as he made his way into the kitchen with a paper bag filled with groceries. “Do you need help putting those away?”“No, you just sit pretty while I make us lunch,” he was grinning from ear to ear. “You can leave, Jamal.”Jamal leaned against the wall with a raised brow. “Don’t I deserve dinner and good news?”His tone was teasing but Blake either didn’t k

CHAPTER 174

AMELIA’S P.O.VI heard his words but it was almost like they had floated off my hearing. I should have felt it, I should have known. If he was hurt, my wolf would have felt it in some way. She had been more quiet than usual but I hadn’t seen it as any big deal, she didn’t like Blake much and mostly faded into the background when he was present.“You’re not excited,” Blake noted and I blinked up at him. “You should be happy. The more we keep him away, the easier it will be for us to come out together. You should be excited.”“I’m just shocked,” I managed out. “I thought I would have at least felt it because of the mark. I still have it.”His eyes darkened at the mention of the mark. He liked to pretend that it didn’t exist but nothing was going to change the fact that I was Kaden’s mate, at least not while I was alive. Blake didn’t say anything about my observation, he just looked away and that was when it hit me- he knew I wouldn’t feel it- but how?He wouldn’t meet my eye and I scram

CHAPTER 175

KADEN’S P.O.VMy entire side was throbbing with pain and I found that I couldn’t move my left arm so easily. I tried but it felt like it was being weighed down by a million tons. The smell alone led me to know that I was in a hospital and I wasn’t so out of it that I didn’t remember what happened that led me here. I was attacked by rogues.I managed to pull my eyes open only to find Caleb by my bedside. He wasn’t looking at me, his attention was fixed on some papers beside me but it was obvious that he hadn’t slept. I cleared my throat and his eyes lifted. There was shock in them, but that shock quickly gave way to annoyance.“I told you that it was a fucking stupid idea,” he snapped. “What were you thinking? You could have gotten killed.”“I didn’t get hurt in Blake’s pack. This had nothing to do with my plan. Besides, I found something that can help me find Amelia.”That only seemed to piss him off even more. “Finding her will be useless if you are dead!” he screamed. “For fucks sak

CHAPTER 176

AMELIA’S P.O.VIt had been a week since my little outburst and Blake had been walking on eggshells around me. He did everything I wanted but stayed away from me to give me some space. It would have been cute if it wasn’t so pathetic. He brought me breakfast at the same time every day and ate from my plate each time to assure me that it wasn’t drugged anymore.After the third day, I could feel the presence of my wolf. She wasn’t at her full strength yet but it was clear that she was gaining strength. I hadn’t told Blake yet, I didn’t want his attitude to change. Instead, I lied that my wolf was still dormant and she played along. She only showed up when he wasn’t present to keep up the ruse.“I hate this,” she told me as I sat cross legged on the bed alone. “I want to be out of here. I want to be with Kaden. I can’t feel him.”“I know,” I had given up trying to placate her. She wasn’t in the mood to listen and the truth was that I didn’t blame her. I wanted to be with Kaden as well. “I

CHAPTER 177

KADEN’S P.O.VThe scolding from Caleb was exactly what I needed to get off my ass and start focusing on the right things.The flower I had gotten from Brittany was dead by the time I got back to it but I was able to describe it enough for a simple internet search and luckily, we were able to found it. It did little to help us find Amelia considering the fact that it grew in a large variety of areas but when we added Brittany’s clue about mud, it narrowed it down to three main areas.It wasn’t a lot but it was something. It was closer than we had been in a long time. Now the fact remained- how were we going to find her? I had an idea but Caleb was not the biggest fan of it. He didn’t like a lot of my ideas to be honest but even he knew that it was the only one we had.“Why can’t I stay with you?” he asked. “We can send someone else to-”“You’re the only one I trust,” I cut him off. “There are two other forests to check but this is the closest to Blake’s pack, he should be keeping her h

CHAPTER 178

AMELIA’S P.O.VWhen Blake returned later, it was already nighttime. The moon was high in the sky and I could hear the crickets chirping outside. The only source of light was the tiny lamp on the small coffee table. I ran the plan over again in my mind being careful to make sure there were no holes in it when Blake walked in.The first thing I noticed was the smell of blood. It smelled like him but I could also smell Kaden. I jumped to my feet and rushed over to his side. “What the hell happened?”He didn’t seem injured for the most part, then again, he had been out the whole day. He opened his mouth to speak but cursed when he bumped into the couch. After that, I was quick to turn on the lights and I took him in completely.There was blood on his wrist, blood on his face and on his clothes. It was as if he hadn’t bothered to get cleaned before coming here. Maybe he just wanted to show off his battle scars or maybe he wanted to appear tough in front of me. Whatever it was, I was happy

CHAPTER 179

BLAKE’S P.O.VMy head was pounding in my skull. It almost felt like someone was using my head to do construction work. I tried to open my eyes but couldn’t, merely doing that was too much for me. I had never felt so weak or worn out in my life.I could feel the cold ground under me and I tried to figure out what I was doing on the ground when the memories slammed into me like a freight train. I cursed and rushed to my feet, ignoring the pounding in my skull and the ache in my body.The room looked the same as it did before I passed out but the only difference was Amelia’s stale scent. I cursed under my breath and looked through my pocket for my phone only to find it missing. A growl nearly ripped from my throat. She had played me.I was doing everything for her- for us- and this was how she betrayed me. There must have been something in the wine. She planned this in advance and she fucking left. If I had the energy, I would have ripped the entire room apart but I didn’t have the time

CHAPTER 180

AMELIA’S P.O.VI had no idea where I was going or where I was.Once I got out of the house, I ran west. Growing up, I was always taught to find a river because most often than not, a river led to a town and from a town, I could find my way home. With tears in my eyes, I ran. I just wanted to be free, I didn’t care where I was going and I didn’t even realize how long I had been running.I didn’t know how long Blake was going to be out and I knew I had only a little time before the guards came back so I ran. Thankfully, I still had my sneakers from when I was taken and it was well equipped for running.I ran for hours and until I saw the sun begin to rise. It was only then that I rested a little and slowed down. I knew I must have given enough of a distance between Blake and I so I opened the bag and pulled out a bottle of water. It did little to soothe the burn in my throat but at least it would be enough.I knew I should sleep but I couldn’t find it in myself to do it. My skin was buz
