[ALPHA HUNTER’s Point-of-View]I woke up with the feeling of someone wiping my arm. My good right eye couldn’t focus. All was blurry and dark, and I was too weak to care if I was dying. But that gentle touch on my skin was so good that it made me close my eyes again. The feeling of the cool water and that scent… that scent…“G-Geneva!’ a snarl ripped in my throat as I recognized her scent. The gash on my left face made me wince in pain. The whippings totally destroyed my left face and blinded my left eye.“Shhh! Please don’t make any sounds. They might know I’m here,” Geneva whispered, and she adjusted her round eyeglasses to her nose. I used to think that it was cute when she did that, but all I felt now for her was anger. “I want to help you, Hunter. My father—I never thought he could do such a horrible thing to you."“I told you to go away,” I growled at her, but I was too weak to move.“You didn’t eat the food I brought you. You need to eat to gain some strength. I would never let

I could still see Sir Terrence in him, but with his white hair, he resembled Hunter more, and it hurt me to think of him. If Treyton was right that my mate was captured by his new enemies, then I had to do something to convince his half-brother to let me go, or I would die trying. The plan was to go back to the hotel to tell Weston and everyone else. They shouldn’t trust the Lesters, no matter how solid their alliance was with that pack.Even though he won’t tell me, I was one hundred percent sure he was the half-brother that Hunter told me he had to exile to the Far North.Treyton wanted revenge. He wanted to punish Hunter through me.“I couldn’t believe Hunter didn’t recognize you just because you colored your hair red,” I uttered, still upset about what happened that afternoon on the beach. But the night sky was filled with dark, gray clouds, and the wind blew a little stronger as the coconut trees swayed and danced to it.Treyton busied himself preparing dinner for the both of us.

“Miss Clark?”Monica didn’t waste a second and ran towards me. I was a little surprised when she threw herself on me and gave me a tight embrace. I knew Monica was loyal to me, but I never thought she was that glad to see me again.“Oh, I thought something bad happened to you,” she cried when she pulled away from me, and I wiped the tears that rolled down her face. I smiled at her. I felt so happy that I had someone like Monica who cared about me a lot. Like a real sister.“I’m sorry I made you worry,” I whispered to her, and I looked at Treyton. He didn’t dye his hair red or wear artificial lenses anymore, so I expected he would be a total stranger to Monica again.We were inside a small cafe where Monica and I agreed to meet up after I called her when Treyton finally decided to help me save Alpha Hunter. I thought he would just release me, though. But he told me he could never let me go alone without anyone to protect me. I didn’t know what his real intentions were, though. But with

“No, Sir Brochan. He came here because of me. He saved me from Flavius’ men. It’s alright. He won’t harm anyone.” I lifted my hands in front of me to stop the old man from attacking Treyton, and he looked at me with panic in his eyes. It was the same reaction I saw when Weston first saw him, and now I was curious why all these men looked at Treyton like he was some kind of dangerous beast.“I hope yer decision to bring this jimmy wi' ye is right, lassie. I don’t trust him, ” Sir Brochan forced himself to calm down, but his careful eyes never looked away from Treyton, like he was scared that the young man behind me would suddenly rip him to pieces if he ever turned his back on us.“Don’t worry, I don’t eat old men." Treyton sneered at Sir Brochan, and I gave him a warning look. Treyton just suppressed his laugh at Brochan’s insulted look.“Let’s go then. And stay low. Monica is waiting outside. She will help ye git a car to git you out of here.”I gave Sir Brochan a worried look. I was

The first one lunged itself at me, ready to crush my bones from its weight.To evade his attack, I jumped sideways while my eyes were on the other werewolf. It ran behind me, ready to sink its teeth into my leg, but I lunged forward to the brown one, and my mouth went straight to its shoulders, sinking my teeth against the bigger one. I took advantage of the fact that I was faster than the other two. As I did my first damage, I got more careful because it only enraged the two.Yes, I was fast. But I also get exhausted carelessly.My stamina wasn’t enough for two opponents. Maybe if it was only one sentinel, I could outrun him easily. My lungs kept up as I burned a lot of oxygen, and my body started to tremble after I overworked the muscles in my legs.They regrouped in front of me, ready to pounce, and cut me with their long, sharp claws, digging into the dirt as they stepped closer and slower. Their snarls vibrate in their throats.There was no way I would survive the two, so I decid
