~Dawn
"I'm fine, Dawny. I understand why you want to do this."
I gaze down at my young sister, all dressed up and looking pretty. She suits this lifestyle, I have decided, and I'm going to make sure she finds someone who will take care of her and let her do as she pleases. Her mate, or not.
"Rylan even came to see me," she adds, hoping off her bed to wander of to her vanity. It's strange how this all belongs to her now. "He said I can go anywhere on his property. Inside, even the gardens."
"It doesn't bother you that you can't go outside anymore? Into the forest, I mean?"
Lucy shakes her head at me, picking the hairbrush up to run it through her hair. Had she been lying to me when she told me she loved the freedom over a conventional lifestyle? Her beauty at least will help her fit in here. Those doe eyes and that button nose. She is only young, but I can already see her being so

~DawnI find myself chuckling after the words came out of his mouth.He wants me to make Rylan sin."Rylan murdered people," I tell Fate, although he doesn't look convinced. "I heard it myself. Everyone in this Pack is terrified of him.""He never killed those people with his own hands, Dawn," he said tenderly, as if it would rip me open to hear him say that. In actual fact, I found myself beyond confused. I know what I heard, and it was terror. "He's an Alpha. He gets people to do his dirty work for him."Of course. "Maybe he indirectly caused the murder, but he still did. It was his idea. I don't know about this strange guy you speak of, but that sounds a lot like one of the biggest sins in the book."Fate shakes his head in the way that makes you feel as if you said something beyond stupid."That isn't what Sinful wants," Fate tells me

~DawnDays past by quickly. Most of which, I was spending in my room, trying to hide away from the mortification Rylan out me through when he shut down all chance for Fate's idea to work out. I'm happy only seeing him at mealtimes.However, staying in my room is starting to have an unwanted effect on me. And by unwanted, I mean I'm tearing my hair out in irritation. Being locked up anywhere is not fun.For Lucy, though, it is.Fate did a real number on her. He's managed to convince her that being inside is not only safe, but desirable. Sometimes I'm tempted to slap her across the face to shock some sense into her. It almost seems as though she wears a smile across her face to taunt me.As long as she is happy, I remind myself everyday.

~DawnThe riddle made no sense as I read it in my mind.Untouchable as unseen,a ghost of something you'll never be.See him once, never twice,and witness something as cold as ice.Trust someone just as bad,you don't want to make him mad."Is this a warning?" I question. I couldn't see any other explanation for this strange riddle which I had no answer to.Kaden stays silent for awhile longer before he spoke again, letting me process what was on the note. "I want your answer by midnight. Someone will come for it. If you fail to answer the riddle, they will die. If you answer it correctly, they live.""Why are you doing this?" I demand, watching him back away from me slowly. "Why not just take me awa

~DawnI didn't know how to react. All I could do was think about how my life was probably about to end in the next few seconds, in my own room."What are you doing here?" I question, the words I managed to find hardly doing anything to help me in this situation. I'm trapped in my room by a member of the Vengeance Pack, who also happens to be the brother of the Alpha himself. I'm done for.Especially since I never thought I would actually need the answer to the riddle."I said, I'm here to collect the answer to the riddle," Kace repeats, taking a casual step closer to me. Every muscle in my body was tense, as I matched it backward."You?" I

~Dawn"We have no other explanation. All my doctors are dumbfounded. I'm willing to do anything to find out what is wrong, otherwise I'm going to lose her.Rylan didn't think I could hear him from where I lie in bed, but I can; he left the door open slightly, so I could even see the concern on his face. Who he is calling, I'm not sure yet, but I know it is his way of trying to save my life. He won't tell me directly that my life is on the line, but I know it.I feel it.My entire body aches dully, a constant reminder of the fact that I'm being kept in bed with very few exceptions to get up. My stomach is in a constant state of nausea, which has stripped down the amount of hours I've slept, and the amount of food and water I have had during this last through days.If I'm dying, I don'

~DawnMy entire body was draped across the backseat as Rylan drove and Malik sat in the passenger seat.The moment I was out of the house, my head cleared and I began to feel a little better. Seconds after that, I threw up, confirming this isn't a normal disease, and that Malik is right, as absurd as that may seem. So, we have decided our best bet is to head to the Wisdom Pack, where Alpha Alden would be able to aid us. "Are you feeling okay?" Rylan asks, for the fifteenth time this drive.I've slept most of the way. The Wisdom Pack is above the equator, in the warmer part of the Pack Quarter. It is still a mild Pack, though, being quite close to the Purity Pack. That means the drive won't be so long."My stomach still hurts," I tell him blandly. "But I don't feel like I'm going to faint at every moment.""We are nearly at the base of the Wisdom Pack," Rylan assures me.Looking out the window from my angle is difficult. I can only see the sky, so there is no way I can tell where we a

~DawnI pull away from Alden's grasp in fright.His words had my mind spinning, and for a moment, I thought I would die right there. It was Alden who caught me, his arms coming up to steady me. Wild, vibrant colours crawl across his face, which is etched with concern. In that moment, I was certain I would faint in his arms, however, Rylan was at my side in a second, his hands touching my arms and back. Like an instant relief, my muscles relaxed and my mind righted itself, the fog clearing, drawing the colours and vision manipulation away. I was left feeling sick to my stomach."She needs rest," Alden murmurs, taking a step back as I lean closer to Rylan, trying to make sense what he had said. I'm going to die? "We need an explanation," Rylan says, speaking my words for me. Alden didn't say anything, as he walked past Malik again, standing directly in front of the couch. That moment of sympathy, concern, was gone in a second. An Alpha took its place. A cold, indifferent Alpha who lo

~DawnI got next to no sleep that night. The bed was almost too luxurious, the room to foreign and the bed clothes I've been provided are too slippery. Every time Rylan made a single movement in his sleep, I would slide closer to him unintentionally. He would grumble, try to wrap his arms around me before I would try sidle away. It was an entire routine through the night. Not only was I spending the night trying to stay away from his gloriously warm body, but my head ached and my stomach churned constantly. At one point, I slept, then woke again. Evidently, gravity and Rylan's wandering hands played a part in our proximity. My back pressed securely against his chest, his arm draped lazily over my waist. His warmth seeps blissfully through my bed clothes, allowing me a few moments to consider staying in bed with him for another hour. His scent is pleasant and addicting, making it all the more difficult to peel the covers back and step out of bed.Rylan barely shifts at my movement.
