ALICE
There was a pause over the phone, a hope in the form of silence that Nixon would understand what I was saying and just agree, but then his mouth ruined it.
I heard the hissing sound first, then came a soft whisper so deadly that it had me on alert, “Ab..sa…fucking…lutely…not. Are you fucking insane?”
“You know he won’t be able to res-”
“Promise me, Al, promise me right now.”
“Always together.” That was the only promise I could make Nixon because I wouldn’t stop thinking that it would be our best chance to use me as bait, and I wouldn’t promise that if given the chance I wouldn’t use it to our advantage, but I wouldn’t go into it alone. We did things together, always

ALICE “No, you didn’t say it out loud,” the impassive tone Rian used matched the look on his face and was almost a challenge. I let my guard down here, for them, and he couldn’t do the same thing? I cocked my head as I closed the distance between us, Amara pushing forwards as she bulked us slightly, sharpened our senses. I had to tip my chin higher because he was so much taller than me that I had no chance of going nose to nose with him, but that didn’t mean I would back down. Nope. I’m an Alpha. ‘You can feel his pain,’ Sebastian linked me and Rian’s eyes snapped to him, ‘he can read your mind… just like he can hear us now because he can also read mine.' “That’s

NIXON An arrow tip pressed into my chest as I caught it. Another half an inch and it would have been rebirth time. It turned to ash as I looked up at the very horrified guard. 'I'm unannounced,' I pressed my finger to my lips for them to keep it quiet, 'so I'll let this go.' I flashed beside him, patting him on the shoulder, "Good aim." He practically swooned at the compliment... what a model Alpha I am. Sometimes I forget what a big deal we are. The Heirs. We act so casually at home, and I wouldn’t want it any other way, but it’s been a while since we were required to interact with another pack and that requires a whole other persona.

NIXON Alderics wolf looked like he was preparing to burst through as Terran scolded me in a string of curse words before trying to defuse the Beta, ‘They are both alive-’ ‘Now.’ I cut him off and the poor Beta’s head looked like it was spinning. ‘I didn’t tell them everything,’ Terran shook his head at me, ‘anything, really, other than that Shadow Forest was attacked and everything was ‘fine’ for a lack of better words when we returned, it wasn’t my place.’ ‘I actually came to speak with Kallan, the council needs to be kept up to date,’ among other reasons to visit your favourite ruthless psychopath. I motioned for Alderic to follow, ‘As long as you can keep secrets, you’re welcome to join.’ ‘If I wasn’t, I’d be lying in

NIXON Onyx was rattling in my chest now, threatening to take over to track her down and show her how worthy we were, how skilled we were. A hiss escaped me just at the thought that she thinks she can hide from us. “Just remember pretty bird,” Alice cooed, “I never did like to keep my feet on the ground.” Click. She hung up on me. She actually… hung up… on me. Mylo made a long whistling sound, “Alice is bold today.” “When is she not,” I clenched my teeth, feeling my body vibrating with the need to flash out of here but also needing to finish what I started here. I came here for a reason, and I needed to get this done so I wouldn’t have to come back. She can have extra time, because there will be no arguments when I find he

ALICERian picked me up, throwing me over his shoulder and when I looked up, Sebastian was practically skipping after us with excitement.Fuck… yes.My core was dripping but I had to ignore it, had to think of something else, anything else that wouldn't ruin this.I NEEDED to see him.Rian set me down on my feet, cupping my face with a harsh edge to him before he backed away.Sebastian clung to me from behind, dragging me back a bit from where Rian stood, but the normal excitement between us was being tempered. We stood there, oddly calm, as Rian's eyes locked with my own and the swirling abyss of grey hues that sucked me in turned to golden orbs with slits

ALICE Onyx righted himself just before his feathers touched the water and shot straight up into the air. In the distance, a tiny blip of light among the clouds tipped me off and I began to run for the edge of the nearest cliff. Onyx was going to start sectioning off the land now that he knew I wasn't in the sky, and from where the blip was, I'd be in the perfect position to catch myself a Phoenix before he turned to light a portion of the forest on fire in an effort to draw me out. My heart was beating wildly at the thought of catching Nixon, and I would… as long as he stayed on course. If not, hopefully, there was water and not rocks below, but Amara was ready to shift if need be. The intense feel

ALICE {Sebastians gone.} My eyes shot open as Amara's word's made my stomach drop and a painful kind of heaviness settled in my chest. I was wrapped in huge arms, my face pressed up against the warmth of Rian's chest... but it all felt wrong. Sebastian's scent lingered, but it wasn’t as strong as when he was here with us, and even when I tried to push the limits of my hearing, I couldn't hear him. Amara was right, but when was she ever wrong? I didn't want to believe it, but as I scrambled out of bed I was beginning to kick myself for not acting sooner. I wasted time. I let Amara come closer to the surface so that we coul

ALICE "... Together,” I answered Linden knowing full well what that was code for and started to sit up in the bed. There was no avoiding what he was going to tell me next. Rian was going to find out, and with any luck, he’d see my side of it more now that Sebastian was gone and something needed to be done about that. The idea of being able to see Sebastian was motivating me to start moving, even though I wasn’t sure where this was going or what kind of state we would find him in. “Terran found the Princess, but not soon enough… Jasper already has her.” “And where is Terran?” “Here,” Linden sighed, “Nixon brought him back before he could do anything too stupid. I’m not about to be the one to tell Marie that she’s mateless.” “Did he se-” “If he did, I would have already known that Ian wasn’t with you and sent Nixon to check on you.” Nixon. Linden never came to check on me, and while Nixon was erratic and impulsive, part of it was always Linden’s fault. Growing up, he’d purpos
