Chapter Thirty-Five - Victorious
Balor's POV
"I have scouts heading in each direction of the city. If there is a camp around there, we will find it." Lincoln assured me.
I sat at my desk, tapping my foot anxiously, trying to find a way to make things move faster.
"What has Aunt Cass said about all of this?"
"She's furious about how everything has been handled. Mom doesn't like being kept in the dark, and after yesterday's new report, she's a little more than anxious about getting everything resolved. So she has helped set up the scouts. Making sure only the best of the best get sent out. Even Dad went out with the group to give a hand." I nodded.
"We will find her and bring her ho
Chapter Thirty - Six - FateReyna's POVI felt like I had an out-of-body experience before reality crashed back into me. This wasn't a dream; I had been captured and tortured. I had faced a werewolf head-on and knew they weren't what they were made out to be. My mind was spinning. On top of that, the weird tingling sensation I felt when I first woke up seemed only to exist when I touched Balor.My brain was still in a fog; I remembered Ivan stabbing my leg. But now the pain was gone, and only dried blood seemed to remain. Adding only more questions to my ever-growing list of what the fuck is happening.I had seemed to reenter my body before exiting the cavern that the devil himself carved out for me. But now, I was staring straight into the eyes of a werewolf—one who had just been a mere human seco
Chapter Thirty - Seven - CrossroadsBaker's POVI didn't get any sleep last night. I kept reliving our conversation over and over in my head. The way her face paled as she took in what I had said. Reyna didn't even give me a chance to explain anything else. She excused herself from the office, and I was too much of a coward or too bullheaded to follow her.Maybe even both.I knew she was safe on pack territory, and even Flint agreed that we should give her some space. But I didn't expect it to bother me so damn much.So now I'm sitting at the island in the packhouse, nursing a cup of coffee silently beside Lincoln."Think this is the longest you've gone without speaking. It's a new world
Chapter Thirty-Eight - HesitationReyna's POVI woke to the smell of bacon in the air. My stomach growled, demanding that it be fed. For a moment, everything felt completely normal until I opened my eyes and was greeted by the unfamiliar room once again.This time it looked different as the sun peaked through the window. It's warmth kissing the ebony wood floors. The walls were almost black in colour, matching the curtains. The desk was covered in books and paperwork. And when I looked at the bookshelf, I could see the titles of the books that were both old and new, a couple I had never seen before. Most were books about cities and different countries. But there were a few novels thrown in there too.My stomach sent out another reminder of the food that wa
Chapter Thirty-Nine - Second - ThoughtsBalor's POV"You're an idiot, dude," Lincoln muttered as he threw his keys on the counter. His pissed-off aura mixed with my own irritation.I wasn't in the mood to deal with stupidity. And walking in and saying dumb shit like that was the definition of stupid."Why does it matter to you what I do?" I snapped"Why? You can't be that stupid, can you? It matters because not only are we family, but you're also my best fucking friend, Balor. Your head is so far up your own ass you don't see how wrong you really are.""Wrong about what, Link?" He shook his head, trying to leave before it escalated, but I was looking for a fight, and Lincoln just happened to walk in at the wrong ti
Chapter Forty- LostReyna's POVLost is the only word that can describe how I feel these last few days. The world had its secrets, and now I was another person who had sworn to keep them.I knew why I had done it, not because the world would think I was insane, but because deep down, I knew it was something that needed to be protected.I had learned so much in such a short amount of time; it took days for it to really sink in. But, what really sent me over the edge was when I returned to work, and no one batted an eye at my sudden appearance.Lincoln told me they had everything covered, and I didn't have to worry. But, I was too consumed with my thoughts to really think too hard about it at the time.But when Sullivan ran up to me and s
Chapter Forty-One - RegretBalor's POVReyna nodded before following me out of the noisy club and into the VIP lounge. I had the guards empty this half so we could talk.She looked around the room before shifting her focus on me. The leather top and skirt she was wearing hugged her figure perfectly. My dick twitched as I looked her up and down.The thought of her wearing this to attract another guy made Flint highly territorial.I forced my eyes to return to hers. Her hazel green eyes narrowed as she looked at me. She was the first to break the silence."Not to go all Be
Chapter Forty-Two - DealsBalor's POVI stood in front of my kitchen sink, blade in hand. I knew I had to do this because I could only track their headquarters down using his help.I'd seen this happening in the rush of visions I had after making a deal with Imelda. But I didn't think it would actually happen. Some visions were so prominent, while others were almost transparent. Which meant the likely hood of them coming true was slim.That seemed to be the way things were happening lately. The most unlikely roots in the future were swirling to life before my very eyes."I never in a million years would have thought our lives would have become this," I muttered.
Chapter Forty-Three - The ReaperReyna's POVSlowly I came to. My head was heavy and throbbing. I could still feel the spot where the needle had been jammed into my neck. I looked up, seeing double of a man in a god-awful green suit. The creepy vibes clicked into place as I recognized Leon standing in front of me."Not you again," I groaned. I blinked my eyes a few times, trying to focus.My head was pounding from whatever drug they gave me to knock me out. I was now stuck seeing double of the world's ugliest gnome. And no one deserves to be cursed with such atrocities."Don't you have anything better to do than try and bait a lone wolf with anger issues?" I mused in a bored tone.
