Enya pov  I found a job. A real job, for the first time in my life. And I did it all by myself- no help from my father or others around.  The day I killed Diego was the last time I held a gun. These days, I avoid picking up a knife unless I have to help the staff in the kitchen. At first, everything seemed complicated, but I figured out the system free humans have in no time. Their lives are so different from what I was used to; everything still seems a little surreal. My first stop was the hospital, and as it turned out, I couldn't get any help because I didn't have ID or health insurance, let alone money. Although I say I did everything myself- that's only partially true. At the hospital, I met an old lady who offered me a helping hand. She took me home, called her son over to get rid of the hunter's trap, and invited a friend who's a

Enya pov  He's here. He's alive, safe, and God so damn good looking. I have no idea if it's the mate bond and its effect on me, but I could swear Vincent is way more handsome than I remember him. He's dressed in casual clothing, all black, but the leather jacket and raged expression on his face make me want to jump his bones. Damn, it's the mate bond- I've never thought about things like that, but now all I can think about is how good and skilled he must be in bed. I need to get out of here, away from Vincent and everyone who heard him call me his mate. Panic seizes me, but Star holds me so tightly I can't move. Out of nowhere, Sam shows up to scold the shifter Vince just injured and hugs Vincent. How long have they known each other and why didn't I know that? Whenever Aros came here, Sam didn't give him a bit of attention, let alone was as f

Enya pov  The fact that Vincent came to town, not Aros, surprised me more than anything before. Yet, one of these days, I'll give Aros a piece of my mind. How could he tell Vince where I am and where I'm working? I thought we had a damn deal.  A couple of things piss me off even more than his sudden visit, though. First, the shifters weren't too pleased with Vince's outburst, not that I was too pleased with it myself. I'd handle the situation just fine without his help. Then he comes, pours his heart out, and leaves as nothing happened? Who does something like that? Not to mention the walk home. As promised, I accompanied Star home, and the whole way there, she couldn't keep her mouth shut. First, she went on a five-minute rant about how good looking Vincent is and how she would love to have him if only he weren't "mine". Then, of course

Enya pov The morning feels like a fairytale. It's been a while since I last woke up and felt this safe. Even though I can defend myself, it feels good to be with someone who stands in front of me like a rock wall. No matter how many imperfections and cracks Vince has, he won't budge an inch when it comes to my safety.  I turn to look at the handsome man I'm proud to call mine. There are millions of women, but he has eyes only for me, despite the scars and burdens I carry. I place a hand on his cheek and sigh. I didn't think this day might come.  Thinking back to the days I spent in the Alliance, I did feel safe, but only because I slept with a gun under my pillow. Now, I don't need a gun or a knife at hand- I have Vincent, the mate I don't deserve. Whoe

Aros pov  Vince took Enya home two days ago, and to say their relationship is rocky is an understatement. They live in the same room, but they live like roommates, not mates. At least, judging by the information I got from Vince. When it comes to Enya- she's not talking to me. The only person she talks to is Bella, and most of Enya's time is spent with the little girl on the floor of the Omegas. They run around, laugh, and play when no one is about, but as soon as Vince, me, or another pack member shows up near her, Enya disappears. Not necessarily Enya as a whole human being, but the joyful woman and bright personality fade quickly. Sometimes I feel like she leaves the shell out in the open and hides deep within herself just to avoid everyone.  Today, Enya was supposed to attend the pack meeting, but she locked herself in the bedroom an
