Aiden PovOur beautiful mate had just fallen asleep. The three of us spent all morning in action, and she took, which was surprising, but I'm glad she is finally coming into herself. My brother and I spent weeks worried. Seeing her in our arms content has probably got to be the best feeling in the world. " When are we going to mark her," Ethan asked. I know he was ready to do it as much as I was. I wanted the marking to be extremely special for her. " We can probably do it tonight if she is okay with it, I told him. I projected the setting in the forest I wanted to do it in. It was a beautiful area. Ethan and I found that it had a waterfall and a small lake. It was perfect. "I will get some people to decorate," Ethan told me. Kayla stirred in her sleep. "Ethan" She whispered. "Aiden"I smirked at my brother, who looked amused. She was dreaming about us. Our smirk was broken by our mom's mind-link"Boys, we just caught an intruder", mom to me. My brother and I got up instantly and
Kayla Pov I woke up in a dark cell. All I could hear around me were the scared moans of people around me. Wolves from the sound of it, and it sounded like they were badly hurt. I stood up immediately but felt weak after. I ended up back on the floor. The back of my neck stung. I realized someone had injected me with something. What the Fuck! As I was rubbing my neck, I heard footsteps. Someone approached my cell and grabbed me. I tried to access my powers, but I felt too weak. All I could do was let them drag me away. I closed my eyes and gave into unconsciousness. Ethan PovIt seemed like we were fighting off waves of wolves. They just kept coming back-to-back. I had a tough time concentrating because my mind drifted to Kayla. I need her. She is gone and now all I feel is bloodlust. I had just grabbed the neck of a wolf and snapped its neck without a second thought. I did that before, but I couldn't concentrate. If I thought I was bad, Aiden was just as bad. He had just decapitat
Lauren Pov (Before Kayla was taken)I had a dream. I knew I was dreaming, but I couldn't wake up. I figured I would have to see it through first. I was somehow at my old packhouse walking up to Alpha Liam’s room. I knew this path well, as it is the path, I took often to see Kayla. I floated through the door somehow and saw Liam talking with some man I hadn't seen before. He was a tall, lean man, with jet-black hair. I couldn't see his face due to my back being on me. It looked like Liam and he were in a heated debate. "I've come for the girl", the man states. "The little bitch belongs to me. Another man who wanted her has proven himself by bringing her back to me in exchange for her power. What makes you think I won't give her to him when I'm done with her", Liam snorts. " I have traveled for years to find her. Do you think I will give up on getting her this easily? I will kill you and anyone else who stands in my way". The man threatens. Liam growls and slams the man against the
Serene PovI'm worried about the twins. I can feel something inside of them. Real scary power and I can see it pushing out of them. Losing Kayla is doing a number on them, but my biggest concern is Lauren. Lauren has been strange ever since we came back from the Firelands. She was adopted by my aunt when we were young, but I didn't know her background. She never told us as we grew up. Before I was given to Alpha Ned's pack, I made a promise to her that I would always try to be there for her, but after I was put into servitude, I couldn't reach her anymore.She told me she had been sent away to Alpha Derek not long after me and had been there ever since, training to become a pack doctor. I sense something in Lauren. Something that's also trying to claw its way out, but every time I try to channel her, it's like I can't get through. Something is blocking her from me. Something powerful. I'm positive Lauren is a half-witch. Otherwise, she couldn't know certain things. Like a prophecy for
Kayla Pov I woke up in a dark room. At first, I thought maybe I was in my room with my loves, but as my eyesight comes into view, I know that's not the case. I was in a dungeon before this. Now, I know exactly where I am. How could I not? I spent years in this room. Marked up the rooms to keep the tally of the date, stained the mat with piss, blood. This little room carries much of my trauma. I tried banging on the door. I try using my powers, but I'm unable to. Something is blocking my powers. I feel incredibly weakHe has got me back. Liam has got me right back where he belongs. Weak, but I won't give up. I have to escape, so I will bide my time. Liam has tried everything to break me since I came back, but I have suffered his abuse for years, from being raped, burned, punched, kicked. I didn't have anything to fight for back then. I do now. I bide my time for now and wait because I know my twins are out there ripping the world apart looking for me. I'll let Liam think he has won, t
Kayla Pov (1 day Later)It's been a day since I've contacted Elena. It felt so good to be able to talk to someone. I can't believe it worked. It's nighttime now and I hear Liam has gone to sleep. I closed my eyes and concentrated on getting to the Firelands. When I open them, I'm in the main room? Solems seems to be working on something in front of him with some kind of book. "Solem" I call out. He turns around and a mixture of emotions plays on his face. He goes with something close to shock."Katiana, your alive," he says"Solem, I need your help. I am at my old packhouse, and Lord Alverez is here. He is working with Liam and has created a boundary around the packhouse. I self-projected to Elena and they are devising a plan to get inside and rescue me. I need you to go to her. He nods in understanding. We are suddenly interrupted while talking when a mist of blue energy pops up beside me. Its Elena. She looks over to me and nods before turning to Solem."Solem, I've been trying to
Ethan Pov After Lauren collapsed, my brother and I rushed to her. "Lauren," I said, shaking her. "We need to get her to the pack house," Aiden says."I'll take her," dad says, picking her up. I looked up at Ethan. We have avoided each other so much these last few months, and I am realizing just how much I missed him. He looks as bad as I do. We're standing up to face. "Aiden" I start. "I know me too," he says, smiling nodded. "Lauren says the barrier is down. She brought the barrier down; I could tell from the blast of power. But how? " I asked. "It's a long story, but as far as the prophecy is concerned, she is the seer," Elena says. " The prophecy says she holds the key to what we need. I think something in her past holds the key to taking down the threat." "Serene, search for her memories now that the block is removed. We need to find out what she knows ", Elena said. Serene nods and heads to where Lauren is. "Boys, now that the barrier is down, we have to devise a plan to
Kayla PovSomething is wrong. I dont know what, but I can feel it. I've been in this closet all day. Liam hasn't come to visit me to hit me at all, which is strange considering he always comes at least once a day. I try not to focus on it. I've been spending the day trying to focus on my energy. It seems like every time I gain some, something saps it right back out of me. If I had my necklace, I'm sure it would help, but it was taken from me.I can feel it's getting late now. All of a sudden, the door swings open. Guess I spoke too soon about Liam coming. Here he is with the sickest grin on his face. "Ready for your daily beating, little bitch" he sneered. I stay quiet. I'm getting rescued soon. Soon, his blood will coat the entire ground. I smile at the thought of it. "Oh, you think that's funny hunh. okay. You haven't made so much of a sound since you came back. Probably think you're tough, but you should know, I always find new ways to break my innocent wife" He smiles and pulls
