Chapter Eighty
Rose
The black SUV with my mate in it disappeared into the distance. It was only Harriet and me now. Harriet's arm wrapped around my waist, and I leaned my head on her shoulder. We stood there for a few moments like two statues in the chilly Autumn breeze."So only we know?" Harriet broke the stillness that had settled over us."That's how Orion wanted it." I sighed as I watched a few pack members walk past the packhouse on the sidewalk. All of them were oblivious to the fact that their Alpha and Beta had left to play Sherlock Holmes and Watson. A mother walked by, heading towards the shops, hand in hand with her curly-haired son, who was talking vividly with his hand. Two teenage girls were giggling as they walked into the coffee shop.I caught a glimpse of Hodges when he wandered by with a phone pressed to his ear. He looked tired and concerned. How was the handling Matt being captured? Had anyone even thought to check on him? The poor man. He had done

RoseI slowly opened my eyes to reveal that I was back in the safety of Orion’s office. I stared down at the mansion; my fingers lingered over, and hastily, I dropped the map on top of the pile of other maps. Where in the world did I just go? Where in time did I just go? My eyes fell down to the date in the corner of the map, 1921.***Do you want to have dinner together still?*** Harriet’s voice echoed in my mind.***Uh, yeah. Are you getting hungry?*** I responded to her as I stared at the map.***Yes, ma’am, Luna, ma’am *** Harriet sang loudly at me.*** I’ll meet you in the kitchen in a minute.***I walked to the door to leave the office yet stopped to take one last look at the map that laid on Orion’s desk. I nervously chewed on my bottom lip. I slipped into the guest room to grab my premonition journal before making my way towards the kitchen. Harriet was skipping down the stairs as I rounded the corner.“Hey, Rosie Posie! What s

OrionThe car rolled to a stop on the gravel with a crunch. The surrounding forest was alive with the sounds of nature. Alastor and I climbed out of his SUV into the center of Silver Crescent’s village. My phone binged with a text from Rose sending a heart emoji. I slid the phone into the front pocket of my jeans. Alastor rounded the vehicle and stopped beside me.“Where do you want to start first?” Alastor asked while he tossed his keys into the air.“Let’s got to the packhouse.” I pointed towards the less charred area of the village. I slipped out of my clothes, folding them neatly before slipping them back into the passenger’s seat of the car. Alastor followed my lead dropping his clothes on the floorboard. My fingernails extended to form crawls, followed by fingers swelling as silver fur started to overtake my skin. Bones cracking and popping echoed around me. Arching my back feeling my bones shift into place, I fell to the ground on four legs with m

Orion“Hodges.”“When was the last spotted?” I gritted my teeth. Was it a coincidence? Did he just step out of the pack to do an errand? Was he taken as well? Or did he take my mate?“I saw him earlier today, but that was when you guys left this morning. He was on the phone walking in front of the packhouse.” Harriet responded from behind me.“Okay…” I mumbled. I’m sorry, Hodges, but I have to prioritize Rose. She is my mate and the Luna of the pack. “First, I’m going to see if I can track Rose’s scent, and then I’ll worry about Hodges.”“Of course.” Harriet grabbed my wrist and dragged me to my room. “She was in here for a little bit. Rose’s scent is still lingering. Her premonition journal is even on the couch.”“Why is that out? Did she have a premonition?” I walked over to the couch, picking up the journal just to clutch it to my chest before opening it.“Yeah, but it wasn’t one of the crazy ones. Rose said it was like she went in

RoseI was adrift in a sea of turbulent inky waves threatening to take me under, with no rescue in sight. My body felt as if it was sinking deeper into the depths with a current sending me into violent obscurity. Tendrils of darkness clung to my body, determined to latch on and smother the life out of me. I tried to pry open my eyes to escape the desolate environment, but my eyelids felt as if they were almost glued shut.My body shook and vibrated by an outside force. A low humming noise followed by squeaks vibrated around me. Each note a rusty nail being hammered into my temple. What were those awful noises? Where was I? What was going on? The last thing I remembered was being in Matt’s room with Hodges. Hodges? What did he do to me?My breathing was labored and painful. Every inhale and exhale was met with the sensation of thousands of needles piercing my lungs. The air smelled and tasted rancid, like I was breathing in old moldy wet cigarettes.“Delil

OrionBrigid and Dr. Thompson were both examining the needle as I left the cabin. Alastor, Harriet, and I lingered over their shoulders for longer than we should have. Damian had already ushered Iris back home before anyone could even suggest it. No one wanted to force her to be a part of this. She had already gone through so much. There was nothing I could do to help figure out what had tainted my mate; I would only be in the way. Eventually, I had to begrudgingly leave it in their more than capable hands.Alastor and Harriet walked a few feet behind me as we made our way back to the packhouse. The rain had slowed to a light sprinkle. I walked in solitude, ignoring the low murmurs of the conversation that was going on behind me. I could have eavesdropped if I wanted to, but it wasn’t worth it right now. Their fear and pity would only make me feel worse. My insides felt like they were whirling away in a washing machine. A flood of emotions was fighting for control alon

Rose“Delilah?”“Delilah?”“Delilah?” I was begging for her to let her presence be known.Instead of the beautiful cream wolf prancing around, there were thick, ominous dark shadows lingering in the corners of my mind, constantly shifting. Their movements were that of the static running across an old television screen. Just their presence wiped away my energy, leaving me exhausted.I tried to run away from them, but my feet weren’t going anywhere. I was running in circles, stuck in this mad world with no escape. The inky tendrils crept up from the ground, snaking around my ankles, anchoring me in place.Whispers hissed around me as more and more tendrils latched onto me. The whispers turned into a roar that radiated throughout my whole body. What were they saying? I couldn’t understand them, but something about their dialect felt familiar, like I had heard it before.I tried my best not to focus on the shadows; my head was throbbing.

Orion“Do you think Hodges would be capable of drugging and kidnapping Rose?”Gaea chewed on the inside of her cheek for a moment as she thought. She took a deep breath before almost whispering out her response, “Yes, I do.”“There you go, Harriet.” Alastor turned to his mate.“I...I...don’t believe it. Why would Hodges?” Harriet stared down at her coffee. Her hands trembled to cause ripples to splash around in her cup.“No one wants to believe someone they know could be capable of this.” I sighed, streaming my fingers through my hair with frustration.Now that Gaea confirmed he could have done this, my mind was set that it had to be him. Hodges would regret the day he set foot in my pack. I let this piece of shit in my pack. I literally welcomed him with open arms. How long had he been plotting this?“Alpha?” Gaea’s voice drew my attention back to the room.“Yes?” I glanced up at my mate’s mother.“Is there something I

RoseI wrapped my arm around Pru’s neck as she and Alaric helped me stand up. My legs felt like noddles and lead at the same time.“You okay?” Alaric asked with concern in his eyes.“Yeah, I’m good.” I offered a smile. I didn’t know if I was, though. I had never experienced a time in my life where I didn’t have Delilah’s strength to rely on. I would never take her for granted again...that is if I ever got out of here.“Once we are in the corridor, you have to act almost like a zombie.” Pru wrapped her arm around my waist to steady me. “Don’t make eye contact with anyone. Ignore anyone who speaks to you. It’s best that way.”“Okay.” I grimaced as I tested the strength of my legs. One small step after another, we slowly made our way to the door.“Ready?” Alaric asked.“Yeah, I wanna see Matt.” I nodded. Alaric rolled his shoulders back and threw his head side to side, cracking it.Alaric threw the door open with a bang. He was pl
