"Reveal yourself!" Diana ordered coldly, her eyes glowing eerily."Diana that's not an intruder." Alden pulled her back before she could further harm the woman. "It's just Freya."The scowl disappeared from Diana's face immediately and she dropped her fighting stance. Freya slowly uncurled her body and she raised her head. She had a shocked expression and her face was covered with dust from the fallen rocks."I guess I'm fortunate your powers didn't kill me," she grumbled."Freya I'm..." Diana stuttered. "I'm sorry. I had no idea it was you. I..."Freya got up from the floor and wiped the dust off her hair and her dress. "It's okay. I know you had no idea it was me.""I swear." Diana shook her head. "I just felt someone moving through the walls. I thought it was... My nerves are all over the place.""It's your powers." Freya said. "Your powers are all over the place. Your senses are heightened now, at the peak."Diana turned on Alden. "Why didn't you tell me Freya came with us?" She
"Look who's awake." He smiled and pulled her against him. "You're back." Diana's face lit up and without warning, Asher leaned down and kissed her full on the lips, letting his hands tangle in her hair."Hey, my turn." Axel protested and pulled her out of his arms.Diana giggled as Axel lifted her and twirled her around. She hadn't been this happy in a long while, and she relished the feeling."Settle down lovebirds." Freya muttered, rolling her eyes. "You shifters are so possessive of your mate, even as you're all mated to the same girl.""Oh Freya, are we making you feel uncomfortable?" Asher asked playfully, going over to seat beside the sorceress."Not a chance." Freya playfully smacked his head. "You're all babies compared to me. I've had my share of love and affection.""Really?" Diana asked eagerly. "Tell us about it.""In your dreams." Freya remarked, shooting out tiny flames from her fingertips. The flames curled in the air before they went out with a poof."Come on Freya."
Asher and Freya came rushing into the cave."What's happening to her?" Freya asked, placing the back of her hand over Diana's forehead. She was burning with a fever. It was when she noticed the fur on her skin that she gasped."Is... Is she shifting?" She stammered."I think she is." Alden said, his eyes locked on Diana's face."Is it supposed to hurt this way?""No. Diana is different because she's a lycan's daughter." Axel quickly explained.Freya's eyes widened with realization and she withdrew her hand sharply. "Goddess above, you have to chain her before her shifting completes.""Where do you suggest we restrain her?" Asher asked worriedly."The forest." Freya grabbed her pouch and hurried after Alden. "The forest air will mask her scent. We can chain her to a tree so she won't lose control...""Stop saying that," Axel snapped. "She's not an animal." He clearly didn't like the fact that Freya kept using the word 'chain', like Diana was some wild animal."Axel, control yourself."
Alden and Asher rushed back into the cave, holding Asher over their shoulders."Quick, lay him on the bed." Freya instructed and knelt beside the bed.Diana stayed back, watching as Freya began to chant strange spells."Why isn't he healing?" She asked, tears falling freely from her eyes. "I think it's because of you Diana." Freya answered over her shoulder."No." She whispered, covering her mouth with her palms."Don't make it sound like she's at fault." Axel snapped and pulled Diana into his arms."I never said it is her fault." Freya said. "He's not healing because he was wounded by her. That doesn't mean she's the cause.""Just try to heal him." Alden snapped next and turned away from the sorceress. He gently wiped Diana's tears and smiled at her. "Stop crying. Asher will be okay.""But I know I hurt him." Diana whispered. "I... I don't know why I lost control... Why didn't I recognize him?""I'll explain later," Alden told her. "Let Freya heal him. Asher will be fine, okay?"Dia
Back in the Bloodmoon pack, Alpha Alaric and his warriors managed to defeat Jasper and the rogues.But unfortunately, when Jasper realized Diana was no longer in the mansion, he fled the battle scene, intent on finding her himself.During the battle with the rogues, a number of the warriors lost their lives, and among them was Dorian, Alaric's beta. He died trying to stop a rogue from attacking Catherine.It was a bloody day in the pack and after the rogues escaped with Jasper, Alpha Alaric knew it was time to face the truth. The shifters needed to know the main reason for everything that had been happening.After burying the dead warriors, he called for an assembly. The entire shifters, along with the students of the school and other creatures, all gathered in front of the mansion.The atmosphere was one of sadness and despair as those who had lost their loved ones cried in pain. A few of the female shifters were consoling Rachel, Dorian's mate, as she suffered from the pain of the s
Jasper had taken refuge in an abandoned town, miles away from Bloodmoon pack. He and his rogues had tried to track down Diana with her unique scent that filled the air. But after a while, it became difficult.Finally they lost the scent. It just faded from the air totally. Furious but still determined, he led the way to the abandoned town where they began to stay, planning and plotting their next move. He knew Diana would return to the pack someday, after she had control over her powers. And he couldn't let that happen. If she gained full knowledge and control over the power she had, he wouldn't be able to fight against her.She would fry him with a single look.He needed that power, and he was ready to do anything to get it. He had waited so long for the right opportunity, and then he lost it. But not anymore. He would be better prepared this time."Alpha, still no sign of the girl and her mates." A rogue appeared beside him and bowed.Jasper was at the top of a cliff, looking ov
"What?" Syrena's voice went up an octave and she took a shaky step backwards."That's my condition!" Jasper snapped. "Take it or leave it.""But we are on the same side." Syrena protested. "We both hate Alaric. You want Diana, and I want the triplets. What else do you want?""I don't trust you." Jasper told her plainly. "Just because you and I have similar desires, doesn't mean I would welcome you into my pack so easily. You could be a spy in disguise for all I know."Syrena huffed angrily, her hands fisted beside her. "Fine! I don't need your help. I'll get rid of Diana myself." She turned and began to walk away."That won't be happening." Jasper called after her coldly, and before Syrena knew it, she was surrounded by rogues. They snarled at her, itching to rip her apart."What are you doing?" She asked fearfully."You made the mistake of coming into my pack." Jasper replied, staring at her with hateful eyes. "If I let you leave, there's nothing stopping you from going back to Alari
Hours later, Syrena lay breathless on the floor, exhausted from the pain she just endured. There was a consistent ringing in her head and she felt like the entire bones in her body had been broken and reformed. Jasper was standing over her with an emotionless expression. He squatted beside her and felt her temperature with the back of his hand."Nice," he commented. "You went through the transformation better than anyone else.""Am I now a rogue?" Syrena asked weakly."You are. Welcome to the family." Jasper said sarcastically."Fuck you." Syrena whispered and shut her eyes. Funny how she had easily turned her back on her own pack and joined Jasper. She didn't care. As long as she got what she wanted.Her eyes snapped opened when she felt Jasper's hands on her breast. "What do you think you're doing?" She asked.Jasper ignored her and cupped her breast, watching her reaction.Summoning all the strength she had, she slapped his hand away and moved away from him."Just because I agre
