Chapter 28
Billy roars loudly behind me as the ground rumbles in his distaste. Emal trumpets, Sarah and Andrew growl, Gregor and Hans flip around behind me. They are going crazy, slamming the ground violently and hooting. I can see fear settle in the eyes of a few men. The man with the scar looks impressed, and a little intimidated.
“Liam, you get the bear. Your face is already ugly, and your mate seems to like you how you are. My mate would kill me if I mess up my handsome mug.”
“Wait!” Maggie says, looking ghostly. “Let me talk to him, again,” she begs.
Brutus rolls his eyes, and she walks over. once more. Her scent wraps around me, trying to calm my mind and make me reasonable.
“Please, we don’t want to hurt you. The man who hired us just wants to talk to you. I promise he won’t hurt you or the pack.” She whispers.
Her hands move to my face as she strokes my cheeks, searching me for an ounce of hesitation.
“You’ve done more damage than a

*Maggie* Axel walks in front of me with his head down. I can see the silver already acting quickly as it rubs away at his exposed skin. I have tried to reach out through our mind link a few times as we head for the vehicles that are waiting for us, but he refuses to acknowledge my efforts. It hurts more than I thought it would, betraying the first person you love. “So he is your mate?” The man called Liam asks me. I just look at him sideways and scoff as we all trudge forward. Nothing about this feels right. I long to be back in that bed with him, learning more about each other on a level that goes deeper than a lie. He had trusted me enough to tell me his one secret. At the moment, I was so swept off my feet by his trust in me; I had forgotten that I was going to use his trust to destroy him. My win feels much more like a tragic loss. “I don’t know how you do it.” Liam continues on. “I lost my first mate, and it nearly br

For hours we drive in awkward silence. Brutus turned the radio on at one point, but Liam growled when a boy band song came on, which amused Brutus. For shits and giggles, Brutus turned it up and Liam then stuck his fist through the radio, ending the feud that had barely started. Axel has stayed in the same position, pushing himself further into the car door window to escape my presence.I don’t blame him, but it doesn’t mean I like it either. Since completing our bond, my need for his physical touch has steadily increased. It’s as if my wolf can’t stand to not have access to him, and since he has closed his mind off to us, the tingles of our contact are the only solitude we have. My stomach growls as I cover it with my hand, frowning.“When are we stopping to rest?” I ask Brutus, who is still pouting about the radio, literally being taken out.“We will drive until Liam, or the boys in t

Liam, Axel, and I trudge up the stairs to our room and push the door open. The musty smell of the room is pungent and I crinkle my nose, surveying the rest of the room. Torn yellow quilts adorn the lopsided beds, and discolored wallpaper peels from the wall. “Well, this is a fancy joint.” Liam snarks. He helps Axel down onto the bed and removes his chains. I stare at Liam like he has gone crazy. When he notices me, he rolls his eyes. “This is a broken man. He isn’t going anywhere because he knows it would be the end for his pack and the only other person he cares about is in the room twisting the knife deeper into his back.” He explains. I nod as I try to keep my tears at bay. Trying to say anything would cause me to sob with guilt and hatred for myself. I am grateful that Liam seems to do his best to treat Axel well. Liam stands and tosses the chains to a corner. He then pulls his leather gloves off one by one. “You are

*Axel*Maggie’s screaming rips through my silent defenses, and I’m compelled to fling myself to her side. I have to blink furiously to clear my eyes of the nightmare I am clearly witnessing, only to find that it’s all very real. Liam watches in horror as Maggie thrashes around, gurgling out sobs of pain. I try to touch her, but her movements make grabbing a hold of her near impossible.Her body creaks like a tree branch under extreme duress, while other parts pop, resulting in awkward angles and more terrible moaning. Her claws lash out at her own skin, slicing and ripping herself apart, trying to get to the source of her pain. The ratty quilt is spattered with her blood as I leap onto it and straddle her waist.Her strength is unlike anything I have ever felt in a she-wolf before as she tries to buck me, sobbing for the pain to go away. I can see her jaw twitching and my heart breaks knowing what is coming next. A

After waiting fifteen minutes for Maggie to not reappear, Brutus threw out some choice words and now we ride in a toxic silence. Brutus stares at his phone while Linus, who has taken Maggie’s place in our vehicle, snores loudly. I look up at Liam, who is driving, and his eyes connect with mine in the rear-view mirror. His eyes look angry and torn like he is fighting an internal struggle. I’m convinced he helped in her escape. He turns his eyes back to the road, sighing heavily.“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Brutus snaps at him.“We are close,” Liam says, annoyed.“And how would you know? You have never been here.”“I can feel my mate.”“Weird, is that a second chance, mate thing? Because I can’t feel my mate.” Brutus says, looking around.“I don’t know,” Liam says, sounding short.“Linus, wake up,&rdq

*Maggie*The tears stopped falling hours ago. That’s what happens when you have nothing left. I am empty of anything other than rage and determination. I am determined to get to Axel, to find him and get him out. Fuck living in peace and quiet. I want crazy, loud, obnoxious circus people. I want blazing passion that I can barely contain; I want Axel. No, I need Axel.Every step further is a shot of agony to my already tortured heart. I want to be angry at his demanding me to find the Freakshow, yet it seems wrong to be mad when I’m the one that put him in this predicament. The longer I wander, the more the reality of everything settles in. For years now I have been living in a non-stop rush, the high of a new assignment, the excitement of finding my mate, finding the person I have been searching for, and then falling in love with him, only to betray him.I have run it all through my head thousand times over. They wo

“What?” Beatrice says, her eyes bugging out of her head.Jacob chuckles as he moves closer to the fire and takes a seat on a log. He tosses a bag of marshmallows to Jasper, who hands the bag to the quiet couple sitting close to him. I watch them both closely as the older man strokes the hair of the woman who sits in front of him with her legs crossed. She opens the bag and spins, feeding him a marshmallow.“Really Declan? Could you and Rosie please be less gross?” Beatrice whines.“When you find your mate you will understand,” Rosie says softly, covering her face in embarrassment.“You have seen the Alpha since you were last bit?” Rosie asks excitedly.“Yes,” I whisper, not really wanting to discuss the matter. I still have the command I need to follow that he forced on me. Getting too detailed will only prolong my travels. It sits in the pit of my stomach like

*Axel*It’s been four long days. I have spent every moment since arriving here in a poorly lit, musty room that is lined with silver and wolfsbane. It seems a little counterintuitive if you ask me, trying to drag forth the wolf in a man by using the two things that can harm it, but I’m not a science man, so maybe there is something to it I don’t realize yet. Liam’s mate sits in a corner on the opposite end of me, afraid to speak or even look my way.Twice a day, the men arrive and give her bread and some pills to take. Judging by the sweaty nature when they come with the medication, they aren’t always coming within the suggested time frame. I’ve tried and failed a few times to coax her into talking to me, but she scowls and turns her back on me. They take us to the restroom three times a day where someone carries her or depending on the mood of the guard, they partially drag her as she attempts to move he
