Erondale Chapter 33
Toby’s POV I have to get out of here. I need to shift and I need to shift fast. I knew that I needed to tell her about Chris before it was too late and I was just prepared to do that. Rae has loved him her entire life. I didn’t want to be the one to tell her but she should not have found out that way. Chris’ love, future Queen, is a horrible person. How can he choose someone like her? At first, I thought that she was full of herself. However, Chris never stopped her craziness and that only confirmed it for me. Now, I had the pleasure of feeling Rae’s intense heartbreak. I could feel her sadness, through our bond, before I left. It hurt me too. My mind pauses as I shift into my massive wolf. Will Rae accept us? Kit hasn’t spoken to me for the last few years. He’s just been hiding in the background of my mind. I’m not sure what his problem has been or why he is so silent. Cian, my wolf, is about four feet tall which is kind of short for our kind. But he makes up for it in strength an

Rae’s POVI watch as Tobias leaves. As soon as I can no longer see his back, I break down. My heart hurts so bad. I just want to go home. Some part of me held hope. I held onto a ridiculous hope that I could be with Chris. Of course, he needs a princess to be his queen.I don’t care that I just woke up and can barely walk. I grab my stuff, to prepare to go home, and notice that I don’t have anything to wear. Shrugging it off, I walk out the doors and head home.I must’ve been lost in my head, or something, because I arrive at my house sooner than I thought possible. I bust through the door and stop in my tracks when I see Talon and Katy lip locked on the couch.Um. Hello? Other people live here!! I clear my throat to catch their attention and Katy jumps off the couch like her hide was on fire. I hide my smile behind my hand and look over at my brother.“Rae! What are you doing out of the hospital?” Talon asks.“I’m coming home.” I reply, with a slight duh to my tone.He furrows his b

Rae’s POVUgh!!! The nerve of him! How dare he show up here acting like the last few years haven’t happened. What did he think was going to happen? That I would just willingly open my doors to him? No, nope. He’s going to have to order me to let me in before I ever do that. The nerve of him to ask me on a walk! Doesn’t he have a fiancee? Shouldn’t he be asking her on those walks instead of reminding me of what I can not have!? I finally just got my head on straight from that horrible encounter. Now my heart aches even harder.I pace around my living room trying to release all the pent up anger. He looked at me like he used to. I really wish that I could trust it to be true. I don’t. I don’t have a clue to why he decided to show up at my door. What would there be to talk about any way? My near death? I doubt it. I guess he could’ve wanted to talk about the murders. I feel guilty for a second before I realize he would’ve just asked to come in.He’s lucky that Talon left to go train one
Erondale Chapter 36
Rae’s POVWalking quietly, I can hear even the smallest noises. I am remaining quiet because I feel like someone is watching me. It doesn’t feel too sinister so I am only remaining cautious. A twig snapping, however, startles me.I spin around looking for anyone. A squirrel runs up a tree and I laugh at myself. I’m spooking even myself. I shake myself. I can see Em’s house up ahead and I start to pick up my pace.Nerves are causing my hands to shake as I knock on her door. I take a few deep breaths and count to three. I run my hands, nervously, through my hair as I wait for someone to answer the door.Gerald, her dad, should be out working. Her mother, Tina, is usually out as well. So, I am only hoping that Emma is here. For a second, when I don’t hear a sound, I start thinking that maybe she is out. Just as I am about to turn around, the door opens widely.“Rae.” Em says, with a slight smile. “It’s good to see you up and about.”I smile. “Em. I’m sorry for just stopping by.”“It’s ok
Erondale Chapter 37
Toby’s POVI’m currently sitting at a table in my father’s office. King Chris, Prince Preston, Reginald, Father, Erin, Mother, Beta Richard, Gamma Aaron, Delta John, and five warriors are all here with me. We are going over the murders.It’s clear that this last one is different but it’s still troublesome. None of them have evidence of the murderer. The only other thing in common, except this last one, is the similarities to Rae.“Who would dare to threaten an innocent girl like Rae?” Delta John asks. He was best friends with Brianna’s parents. “Who would kill such a sweet kind soul like Brianna?”“Maybe that’s the connection that we’ve been looking for?” Mother suggests.“What do you mean, love?” Father asks.“Think about it, Dear.” She glances at me. “First there was the dress. Then there was the uncanny similar looks. Now, there is the same kind of soul; sweet and innocent.” She explains.My eyes widen in realization. She’s right. They both have the same personalities and were both
Erondale Chapter 38
Chris’s POVThis won’t do. This can not stand in this Kingdom. I feel like a failure. Having this meeting did absolutely nothing. We are not any closer to finding out who is murdering all these girls. Well, that’s not entirely true. We did find a connection. Another connection leading to Rae. I hadn’t realized that I was practically running until Preston stops me.Grabbing a hold of my arm, he yanks me to a stop. I look over and see that he is practically panting. I yank my arm away as I feel electricity start to rise through my body. Preston holds his arms up and chuckles.“Where has your head been at? I’ve been saying your name for the last quarter mile.” He says with a teasing smile.I shake my head. This is not the time to smile. “I’ve been screaming at myself. Telling myself how much of a failure that I am.” I answer.“Oh, and here, I thought that you were thinking of a young and innocent girl.” He says with a frown.I take a deep breath and try to collect my thoughts. I glance a
Erondale Chapter 39
Rae’s POVI take a deep breath. I don’t know why but I’m nervous. Chris, I mean King Chris, has called a meeting for the whole Kingdom. I’m not sure what he’s going to say but it’s mandatory. So, that means that I can’t miss it. His orders were that, even if we can’t walk, for someone to carry us. It both frustrates and excites me.“Are you okay. Little Sister?” Katy asks.I smile at her nickname. Over the last few years, we’ve become close. “I’m fine, Kit Kat.”She chuckles. “Shh. Didn’t I tell you not to call me that?” She asks blushing prettily.“Why? I think it’s adorable, baby.” Talon says as he saunters in.She gasps.“Shh. Don’t encourage her.” She laughs.Talon walks up behind her and wraps his arms around her stomach protectively. “Are you done with her hair, baby? It’s almost time to go.”“Yes, hon. Just putting on the final touches. She needs to look pretty for our King.” She teases.“Ugh. Not this again, Katy.” I pout. I turn to look at her and narrow my eyes. “He made it p
Erondale Chapter 40
“Hey, Em, have you seen Alrich?” I ask.She looks over at me. “No, actually. When is the last time that you saw him?”“It’s been a while.”“Erin?”She scoffs. “I don’t have a clue. It’s not like I keep up with his daily activities.”I shake my head. She really hates him.“So, do you guys think that he’s guilty?” I ask them. It makes me feel guilty because I consider him a friend but there’s so many coincidences.“No. I don’t like him but I don’t think that he’s responsible.” Erin says, surprising me.“Really? I figured you’d be the first to blame him.” I chuckle.She laughs. “Me too. The fact is, that it’s too coincidental like someone is purposely putting the doubt on him.”I think for a second. That seems like it could be true. I feel guilty again.“Maybe I should try and find him. I’m sure this is probably causing him some distress.” I say.“You will do no such thing!” I hear an angry voice say.I spin around. Of course! Chris. I narrow my eyes at him. What’s his problem? He has no
