AMBER POV      "What will you do with them," I ask as soon as we make it to Lucian's office.     "I'm not sure. I don't want to leave them high and dry, but I can't risk the pack by not relocating tomorrow. Brazil is our best bet," he says while walking butt naked towards his desk.   My cheeks blush a little as I check out his muscular back and tight butt. I have no idea how old Lucian is, but he is definitely all man. Maybe I shouldn't be kissing him...I'm only a sophomore in high school. Oh my gosh...I made out with a man. A naked man!    "Umm. Can you...can you put on some clothes please," I ask as I begin to feel more uncomfortable rather than attracted.     He nods and immediately opens a drawer to his desk. He pulls out a pair of gym shorts and tugs them on before facing me again.    When he does, his happy demeanor seems to shift instantly. His eyes roam over m

AMBER POV   I didn't pay attention to anything when we arrived in the little village hidden deep in the jungle a few hours ago. Lucian took me start to a simple structure, and I haven't left since.    I keep trying to sleep, but when I close my eyes, I see everyone I have lost...Kohn, other Amber, the station attendant, my dad, my mom, and even Thatcher. Kenny isn't dead, but I will never see him again. So his face flashes amongst the rest.    My entire body feels hollow. I don't think I can even grieve anymore. My eyes are dry, and my throat hurts from the dry sobs. Not to mention the new environment is causing me to sweat profusely, probably using the moisture my body typically makes tears with.     I hate feeling this pain. I hate feeling all this guilt. It's all my fault. If I had never blown up that basement all this would have never happened. Lu

AMBER POV     After a few days in Brazil with the other pack, Kohn arrived, and he wasn't alone. He had found his mate along his journey to us...but there was a problem. His mate doesn't speak English, and she doesn't speak a language that anyone here knows. So we can't communicate with her at all, basically even to this day.   Another problem with Kohn bringing his mate in my book is he kidnapped her. She is human and doesn't understand anything happening around her, which makes me feel so bad for her.  The first week she was here, she kept trying to run away. Kohn would have to go get her and bring her back almost every morning, but that stopped happening. Now she just sits and stares off in space. I usually sit with her, but I also help with chores when Lucian isn't looking.   Lucian talks to me at night about what is happening out in the world, and to be ho

AMBER POV   "Malcolm, where are we," I ask after my kidnapper finally sets me down and shifts back to human.   The other pups immediately head off into the brush, and Malcolm begins to gather massive pieces of moss-covered logs.    "Deep in the forest. We have to reach the spot she spoke of before tomorrow," he mumbles as he stacks the logs with ease, even though they look extremely heavy.     An uneasy wave of fear passes over my skin as I try to piece together what he is talking about. Ever since I woke up, we have done nothing but run. I have no idea how long I was asleep or how far from Lucian I am, but I know I need to get back. Lucian will go crazy when he finds me missing, and he won't be able to reign himself in when he catches up with us. He will kill all the pups. He won't care about their parents' feelings or mine. I won't

AMBER POV     "Get in," the big ugly fairy dragging me orders before tossing me into a small pitch-black hole.     Before I can even gasp, my body drops about two feet, and my butt comes in contact with hard ground. Heavy metal slams closed from somewhere above me, and my brain immediately panics a little. I frantically look around, but I can't make out a single thing. It's as if there is zero light present for my eyes to adjust to.   I reach out my hands and instantly touch earth on both sides of me. I sigh a little as my panic dims. At least I am alone. No monsters in the dark here.    "When she said pit, I guess she really meant pit," I whisper as my hands drop back down and my panic subsides completely.   I can deal with dark solitude. This will keep me away from the horrors outside.   As I b
