Silas   Jax surprised me when he pushed himself forward at Kodi’s command. He rarely forces me back like that and it took me a moment to take control again. When I do I see that Lux is still taken over by Kodi as she looks in Kai’s direction and asks, “What does that mean?”I look at Kai who has been taken over by his wolf, Loki. Loki looks me up and down and growls softly before telling Kodi, “Jax isn’t with us now. We’ll talk later.”Kodi tries to fight him, “Loki,”“Not now.” He snaps and I watch as Kai’s eyes close and when they open, I see that his wolf has gone away. Kai looks confused as he stares at me and then looks towards Lux who still has her wolf in charge. Her face is scrunched up in frustration and she tells me, “Bring Jax back.” I sigh, “Not right now, Kodi.” Her lower lip quivers and she snaps at me, “I just got him back! You can’t take him from me again.”I notice that Loki has taken

Kai   Walking into Genevieve’s room I couldn’t help the disappointment that washed over me. I was really hoping that she would be talking or moving by now. Silas looks at me and gives a small smile as he stands up and walks away from the seat closest to her.  I step out of his way when suddenly, Genevieve's eyes meet mine and I watch in awe as the corners of her mouth twitch up and she says softly, “Hey wolfy.”I rush to her side and sit on the edge of the bed as I grab her face with both of my hands and say in shock, “You can talk.”She nods slowly and says, “And I can move my head. I can’t move anything else yet.”I give her a quick peck on the lips and say, “It’ll get there.”She smiles, and I hear Silas excuse himself. Genevieve watches him go and I ask, “Is everything okay?”“Yeah, everything’s good. You know... it’s weird being aware when everyone else isn’t.”My face scrunches up in confusion as I ask, “What

Lux I knock on my dad’s door, but he doesn’t answer. I open it up and I force myself not to gag from the smell.Has he even showered since I was taken? I take cautious steps as I walk in because I can tell right away that their normal clean room is riddled with items on the floor. I call out, “Dad?”He doesn’t answer and I say, “Dad, I need to talk to you?”I hear his soft voice as he answers, “Lux?”“Yeah dad, it’s me. Where are you?” Suddenly I’m wrapped in his embrace. The stench coming from him is horrible, but it is what it is. I’m not going to say anything not now as he is sobbing in my arms. His whole body convulses with his sobs and I just stand there in his embrace and rub his back as I try to soothe him. He says to me through his tears, “H-how are you here? I-I-I thought I lo-lost you forever.” I laugh softly as I say, “No dad, not forever. Your little girl is a fighter.”“That’s true. You always have been. You’re

Lux   Kai told me he was busy and to not bother him till the morning. It’s been hard to sleep, I’ve been tossing and turning all night and it’s now 5:00 a.m. and I just feel wired. I need to talk to my brother. I need to get his permission to go find this hybrid. She must be the key to ending this impending battle. I get out of bed and head to the kitchen to get a drink. I wish time would move by quicker. I’m so lost in my thoughts I didn’t notice when another scent entered the room. My brother’s voice makes me jump as he asks, “What are you doing up?”I place my hand over my heart as I take deep breaths calming myself down. I respond, “I couldn’t sleep… and you? I thought you’d be with Genevieve right now.”“I can’t sleep either… She’s still asleep. Before she went to bed, she was able to move her arms so I’m hoping that by the time she wakes up she’ll have full mobility back.”I nod, “I’m glad to hear she’s doi

KaiGenevieve is finally awake, and she is able to move her whole body. I was so happy I cried. She watched me with an amused expression before hugging me and telling me she was happy to be with me.We walk downstairs to the dining room, and I try not to be too protective, but it’s hard for me to not just wrap her up in my arms and keep her like that forever. She looks over her shoulder at me as if she can sense my discomfort and she states, “Kai, I’m fine.”I nod, “I see that… but-”She shakes her head, “No buts, Kai. Let’s move on. I’m okay and that’s all that matters.”I smile, she’s right. I’ll stop arguing her. We walk into the dining room, and I smile when I see Lux and Silas sitting across from each other and my dad is at the head of the table.My feet stop moving when I see him. He’s showered, he shaved, he actually looks like
