"Liam!" I gasped as I sat up fast. I held a hand to my chest as my heart beat fast and hard. I struggled to catch my breath. I panted hard and couldn't control the shakiness of my body.I covered my face in my hands, trying to stop myself from crying. But the tears came anyway. I cried and worked myself up until I felt Liam's arms wrap around me."Hey... it's okay. I'm here," Liam mumbled into my ear as he pulled me close. He engulfed me in his warm and comforting arms. I shook in his embrace.Liam held me until I stopped crying. He was first to pull away. He looked down at me and pulled my hair out my face and tucked it behind my ears.I started to cry again as I looked up at him. I had dreamt about him. I had dreamt that he was being killed by rogues. It was one of the worst dreamsI had had so far."They tore your throat out!" I sobbed to him. Liam forced a sad smile and leaned forwards. He kissed my forehead and wiped the tears from under my eyes. I felt the pain that his beast wa

The car ride back was silent. No one spoke a word and the only sound was coming from the radio. It was tense and emotional between everyone in the car. We had all lost someone important because of the rogues.I gulped nervously as the car pulled up to the house. The other car had beaten us back and Blu and Hannah had already jumped out the car and were rushing towards their mates who were out towards the back of the house."They didn't cause any trouble. We don't have anything to worry about, right?" I asked before we all got out the car. Lila and Hallie got out the car, and Darcy sat in the front seat rubbing her head."Rogues this close to the territory is always dangerous. They're never around for fun. They only want to cause trouble," Darcy told me. We got out the car and I walked alongside her to ensure she was alright.She looked pale and stressed. I could imagine why. She had lost one of her sons to rogues, she had lost a daughter in-law too. She'd been through hell and back.S

"I'll see you tomorrow, kiddo, okay? Don't be too much trouble for your Mum and Dad," I told Trixie as I knelt down to hug her. She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tight.I looked up at Blu and Nicolas who were grinning down at me. I returned the gesture."She really likes you. I think you might be the new favourite. Sorry Liam," Blu said, smiling as she looked at Liam who was standing next to me. He grunted."Yeah right. I'll always be the favourite, won't I, Trixie?" Liam said, looking down at the little girl. She pulled away from me and shook her head at him. I laughed at this."You're in the past now, Liam," she giggled as she waved at me. I waved back as she bounded away and ran off to Wesley and Jason again. She was close with her cousins.I stood up and Liam rolled his eyes at me as he slipped his arm around my waist. He pulled my close as Nicolas and Blu smiled at me."You're my favourite too. I don't blame the kid," Liam told me. I smiled at this."Thank you again fo

"Feeling better now, Ali?" Cass asked me as she brushed her fingers over my arm. I smiled and nodded at her as I sipped on my coffee. The female shot me a small smile and then begun to make her own coffee.After the incident yesterday, I stayed in the doctor's hut for a few hours before they let me return back to my cabin. I spent all day lying in bed with Liam who cradled me and stroked my hair. He licked my wounds and they had mostly healed overnight because of it.After dinner, Nicolas and Christian came over to talk to me about the incident. The tracker wolves couldn't find a single scent of the rogues. They had disappeared completely. Not to mention, the damn bodies had disappeared too. The first two rogues I killed were towards the pack more. Their blood was there, but there weren't bodies and their scent didn't trail off anywhere else. Someone had come through and taken the bodies without leaving a trace.It didn't make sense.Apparently, the rogue that they'd spared wasn't tal

The blizzard was in full swing. The cabin often creaked against the strong winds and I even feared that a window would cave in and smash. But the cabin was sturdy and held well in the wind.The snow was falling hard. I was sure that by the morning, it would be too deep to walk in. The temperature had dropped wildly, and it was below freezing outside. But Ezra had lit the fire in the living room and the cabin was warm and toasty.I sat with Ezra and Jenny at the dining table and we began to eat. They were both quiet at first, exchanging glances with each other. Then, Ezra cleared his throat."Princess, did you speak to Liam today?" Ezra asked me. I shook my head at him, starting to eat my soup. The smells swirled around the room and my belly rumbled.Being angry at Liam was draining. We weren't arguing but the angry and upset feelings toward him were draining enough. My chest hurt and my head was spinning.The bond ached and throbbed. It begged for us to be together.Damn pull."No," I
