AmeliaI could recognize that chocolate color anywhere. I lowered the gun in my hands and felt my eyes blur with tears."Amelia!" Elija screamed my name. "BEHIND, BEHIND YOU!"We hadn't paid attention to the front door...I heard the shot, and the gun that was in my hand fell. I couldn't take my weight and my knees hit the hard floor and then my shoulder. The pain was something I didn't feel. Maybe my brain hadn't had time to send the signal, maybe that part had shut down from the shock. But one thing I knew, everything was spinning and going dark."SHIT... Amelia!" For the first time I heard Elija's excited voice. I still managed to look at him for a second before my reflection blurred. I heard a shot and then another and another. Those hollow gunshots wouldn't stop until I heard snarling and snarling through my poor vision.I closed my eyes without even wanting to. I knew Bram's body was torn apart right behind me. I didn't want to think about it, but I couldn't help it. He had take
MarkIt had been hours and still nothing for Sarah to return. Liane and Sury were in a nervous state, but me, I was a thousand times worse."I'll be right back." I said and ran to the back door."Hey Mark, don't you dare leave this house." I ignored Sury and ran barefoot in that snow before changing. The intense pain almost broke my bones, but I ran following the scent Sarah had left that was now faint in the air. It was snowing and I couldn't help but think that I was to blame for all of this. Those hunters, they came because of me.I saw some bloodstains in the snow where those bodies were and I also saw the tracks as if they had been dragged away. I followed all the way to where they ended and came across the place where the snow was thinner. Where Sarah had probably buried the bodies.Where is she? Where are you please...My blood was hot and cold at the same time, something primal poking at me like spikes. She was my Alpha's partner, she was my Alpha, and she was gone after savin
"Because your beautiful companion is in his hands..."And when I heard that, my whole body froze. And anger turned to ice in my blood. I heard James gasp a few steps behind me. The air grew heavy around me.I must be hearing it wrong..."What did you say?"That was smart, wasn't it? Wait for the idiots to come and leave Alpha alone. "The anger I was feeling inside me was already way beyond my control when I found myself walking towards him. Wanting to rip that head off at once. "I smelled you on her, you know? "I grabbed the bastard's coat and pulled him to face me. The wolves around us seemed to grow restless. Perhaps worried about what I would do, or wanting to kill him in my place, I didn't care at the moment. "Calm down big man, if I don't come back by tomorrow alive and in one piece, Bruce will shoot her pretty little head. "That word was the only one I didn't want to hear."If you lay a finger on her, I'll break your filthy bodies in half. "Abell dared to laugh again, but it did
SarahI woke up with my body and neck still sore. I looked around slowly and my hope faded again.I realized that I was in the same cold place and not on that soft and comfortable mattress, lying next to my partner. It hadn't just been a nightmare. The cement was freezing under me, but at least the railings weren't silver. I could lean against the corner of the cell and cringe. However, they were just as firm and untouchable. I'd already tried breaking in, bending, hitting and kicking. They didn't even creak.There was no noise from inside or outside other than the sharp wind that slithered through the gap in the window next to the cell. I sat up feeling my skin crawl with cold. It felt like dawn or morning, but it was too dark in here to be sure. The weather might just be bad enough outside.My stomach shuddered with hunger and I had a huge urge to pee.I leaned my head against the railing and sighed."It's going to be alright..." I whispered to myself, to my wolf and to my possible
SarahI don't know how much time had passed when I lifted my head from the cold cell floor. My eyes felt heavy and my body felt numb as I realized I was still transformed. Luckily or unluckily, my wolf's thick fur was what protected me from the sharp cold.The small barred window at the top of the cell now looked wide open. The wind was strong and had moved her even more. The handful of snow in my paws said enough. It was a heavy snowfall.My body shook. From cold and maybe some reaction from the tranquilizer they threw at me. For the second time. Two darts before my muscles refused to move. And now they still looked too saggy for me to gain a footing. I had to get up. Move before I freeze.My breath was minuscule. My reflexes were still compromised and it wasn't even getting me desperate enough. Even when I remembered that it must be dusk. And the time limit that Bruce warned was running out.The minutes passed, I started trying to steady myself on the railings until I sat down. I bl
StanleyI couldn't get to the bastard as fast as I'd like. He was surrounded by his wolves and they were very insistent creatures. I had to kill everyone who stood in front of me, everyone who tried to stop me. They only managed to slow me down a little and make me even angrier.I rolled with the bastards who could take me down. Teeth and claws clashing and shredding flesh. The snow melted in the heat of the fight and soaked our fur. Because of dominance, most didn't have the courage to attack me and I was grateful for that. The shots couldn't divert my attention and all I could ask was that no bullet found my body on the path or any of my wolves. I couldn't stop.I tore at the second-in-command's face as he pounced on me. The wolf was fast. His teeth dug into my ear in the process, but my ear was nothing compared to the agony of seeing Sarah still lying in the snow. Yes, with each wolf I took down I looked back at her to see if she was still breathing.The wolf finished ripping off h
JamesSarah was curled up in my lap with several bruises and cuts all over her body. Silver burns and even teeth marks on her arms. She had probably fought those wolves before they brought her in. It was obvious that they had been forced to drug her.My sister. Fuck, she was my sister.The connection between the two of us from the first moment we saw each other was no coincidence. It was a blood bond. One that Elija recognized the first time she caught his scent. And the instant he screamed my mother's name, it hit me. I've never seen a single picture of my mother. And they were separated from me when I was very young. I could barely remember the smell or the features, but my father...He had a lot to explain...I got into the backseat and sat down with her still on my lap. I rested my forehead on hers and hugged her. Her fingers felt like ice cubes as I curled them into my chest. William soon appeared and left Sury in the front seat. She was hysterical as she stared at Sarah and star
SarahI accompanied him to the door with James's help and saw Daniel follow my father out of there. I waved and they waved back until they disappeared into the woods."I always suspected you were too similar at times." Alex said when James and I walked back into the room. William agreed. That was hard to believe actually."Okay..." I said and looked at Amelia. "The friend he told you about, where is he? Okay?""Liphe is here. Completely passed out in the other room. He almost died." She walked over."Oh." I stayed upright and sucked in a breath.The wolf reached out to her and pulled her close to him. It was obvious that the two of them had slept together that night before she snuck out. But they were not yet intertwined. I squinted down the hall and considered going back to bed. My body was still heavy and I wanted to stay by Stanley's side until he woke up."Go." Liane chuckled when she saw me looking over there. "You need to rest. Lucas and Alex will keep watch until Stanley wakes
