Kyra-“Open your eyes Skittle Bear.”This time I did open my eyes and once I blinked away the tears I saw Caleb standing there covered in blood. I still wasn’t sure if it was Caleb, but I couldn’t help the way my heart from hoping it was him.“See, I am right here.” He spoke with such tenderness, fresh tears began to fall, blurring my vision once more.I hated the witch and George for what they did to me, what they are doing to me. Yet just like with Hunter, I was happy to see Caleb, even if it was a trick. At least I had been given a chance to see their faces before I die. I felt his hands move to brush away my tears.George didn’t use such tenderness when I had thought he was Hunter. Maybe he was actually showing me kindness, except I didn’t want his kindness. I just wanted him to let me die. The pain was just too much for me to handle. First, he played me with Hunter, I lost my connection to Brett

Hunter-“What the hell is wrong with her?”I heard Alec speak, but my attention was fully on Kyra or Alexia. Though I wasn’t even sure it was either of them at this point. In a blink of an eye, she had completely changed. The once purely white coat that spread over Alexia was covered in a dark mist that was so dense, her fur looked almost black.I couldn’t sense either of them anymore, even our bond had been severed. Not that I needed the bond to know that my love for Kyra was real. The wolf I was looking at no longer resembled Kyra’s wolf. Its eyes were pitch black, except for the green ring that held a resemblance to a lunar eclipse.It was like darkness had engulfed her fully, leaving not a trace behind of what she once was, apart from the thing green ringlet in the center of her eye. She was more beast than wolf or human. Even her energy was pure darkness, it felt like death itself.She had finally released George&

Hunter- Back at the house, I stood in the doorway of Kyra’s art studio, where Zac had placed her. As much as I wanted to stay to watch over her, I needed to handle the mess around the pack. When we arrived, we were alerted that those that remained from George’s army had pulled back. We had fewer casualties than I had thought, though more than I had wanted. Altogether we had lost thirty. A couple had been from our allies, but that didn’t lessen the blow at all. Pulling the door closed, I stepped back and faced Caleb and Zac. Alec was with Rex and Tristan trying to find Brett’s body so we can preserve it as long as possible so Kyra could have the chance to say goodbye. It didn’t feel right to bury his body with the rest of the fallen. “We need to get things in order and clean things up before we can deal with what is going on with Kyra. If what Zeke said is true, there isn’t much we can do.” “I am going to stay here.” Caleb stated. As the Beta,

Hunter- It was closing in on the sixth-month mark and we were still no closer to finding anything. Zeke had shown up a couple of times a week, but he stayed as far away from me as possible. Everyone’s spirits were down and I was trying to hold it together but it was becoming more and more difficult. I still couldn’t feel the bond, but I know it hasn’t been severed yet. The closer it gets to Kyra being transferred to Purgatory, the crosser I become. I was going out of my mind. I didn’t know what to do and we had gone through every book we had around the pack. We had even found books we didn’t even know we had, but they were useless. Zeke refused to help us, he kept saying there was nothing we can do. Still, we weren’t giving up. We were running out of time and it was just a matter of time before the blood ward faltered. Caleb and I have been taking shifts watching over her and occasionally her brothers would help, but they were in and out of here a lot.

Hunter-Zeke turned towards me and he no longer had his firmly planted scowl in place when he looked at me. Now he just looked tired and drained. He didn’t need to say anything for me to see the regret of his actions. I tilted my head towards him in understanding and just like that it was like the past six months between us was water under the bridge, for now.It wasn’t that I hated him, well I did at one point, but we reached an understanding. Plus I knew he was just venting his anger because of his daughter. I understood him more than he realized. I still blamed myself, but that was my burden to carry. Turning back towards the creature, I let the rest go and gave my attention where it needed to be.After another twenty minutes of waiting, Alec showed up with a man. The guy's attention fell on the creature and I saw sadness fall over him. He took a few steps forward, which got the attention of the creature. It became silent and I swear I thought I s
