Chapter 115Ian I kept replaying the night for several days now. I couldn’t believe that I had actually slapped one of them, let alone Lucy. Her mates were crazy and I knew I had just signed my own death warrant. I knew I had to find a new way to live and soon. I could never return to the rogue camps. Not only could I not get the images of hitting one of those girls entrusted to me out of my head, but I also couldn’t face them. I couldn’t look at the marks I was sure I had left on Lucy’s face. I knew that sitting there at the shifter's bar wasn’t going to help me none and the two surely would have been getting low on supplies. Today I would have to drop off more supplies and confront the woman. I was downing my 5th beer when Liam walked into the bar with a grin that touched both of his Doopy ears. For a wolf, he sure the hell was ugly as fuck. He reminded me of a tweaked-out Doopy, from that kid's mo

Chapter 116.2 Lucy  I had to admit when I heard those men stomping their way down to Savenia and me, I was petrified. But just looking at Savenia, calmed me in a way that only my mates had ever been able to really calm me. Watching her lay out the damn guards was priceless.

Chapter 118.1   Mari  Days after the punishment I was dreading waking up every day. And already in the past 2 weeks, I had already refused to show up to work. After some very long consideration, I decided that I was no longer the best person for the job. The kinds of changes that Gabi was hoping to implement had broken each of them with my big mouth. I felt lik

Chapter 119.1 AdrikOver the past few weeks, things have been blowing up within the council. I didn’t mind much as it allowed me to spend more time with Celeste. But one thing that I was finding disturbing was that, within all this time, we were still not hearing much about what was happening to the girls. I was growing increasingly worried about my daughter. It was why I had denied that Savenia was mine for as long as I had. I hadn’t ever wanted to put her into harm's way and now she jumped at the chance to do exactly what he had always taught her to do, stand for the innocent and punish the wicked.I had decided that I could no longer wait for everyone else to get their shit together and was going to take it into my own hands and find out my own answers. After another long breakfast of tough silence, I made my way down towards the room everyone called ‘Fort Knox’. I planned to corner Antony as he was the only one that was still on the ball and getting things done. Yet, when I got

  Chapter 119.3 Adrik  Seeing and hearing my baby tell me how she needed me but not yet filled my heart more than I had ever known that it could. But before I could even rejoice in it I felt my Celeste fading. With Savenia telling us to go I held tightly as I felt the pain of being ripped backward to the office of Celeste. With the now pale Celeste slumped forward a
