Sam POV I spit as Lana’s lips left mine. I was disgusted that she had tried to kiss me. She laughed as she moved back, “It will not be long Sam and you will be wanting my kisses. You will crave my kisses,” Lana says to me as she walks across the room to look at something I cannot see. As she turns, she has what looks like a vial of liquid. “You see this sweet Sam? This is the potion I need to inject in you to reverse your bond with that bitch,” she says to me. I feel a cold sweat break out over my body. Once a mate was bonded, it would feel like death if the bond was broken. I did not know how it would impact me, but I damn well knew how it would impact Josie. I said nothing to Lana. I would give her no indication I was bothered or concerned with her threat. I tried to shift my arms in the restraints but had no success. I had not been injected with anything so I could feel Chance my wolf. He was equally pissed off. We knew our capture

Josie POV I hear ringing in my ears, as I feel myself dragged off to the side of the room. I can hear Lucas and Daniel yelling and pounding on the door trying to break in. However, they cannot get to me. I do not understand why, and I cannot open my eyes to see my surroundings. I try to determine what is around me with my other senses. I try to get Alexis to help me but she is hurriedly trying to help heal me so I can be prepared to fight whatever or whoever attacked me. They stop moving me and I feel nauseous at the sudden stop. “Come on Josie, wakey wakey,” I hear as my face is slapped. It is still sore from whatever hit me, and the tapping is agitating me. I try to open my eyes, but I cannot. I suddenly feel water tossed on my face. I jump at the coldness, gasping for breath. I move quickly feeling dizzy at the movement while I try to sit up. I hear laughter to my right and slowly turn my head. As I suspected Lana was the one who k

Lucas POV My head whips around to Daniel. I had reconciled myself with the expectation he would turn Josie over to the Council. When he took responsibility for Lana’s death, I was shocked. What would this mean for his career with the Council? Would he be punished in turn for something he did not do? The lead councilperson stares at Daniel. As if he knows Daniel is lying but he does not acknowledge it. He looks to Josie for a few moments. Josie is holding Sam’s hand tightly as we all stand there in silence waiting for whatever will happen next. Nodding his head curtly, the lead councilperson takes Daniel’s arm pulling him to the SUVs. “Where are you taking him?” I demand as if I have some right to know. “Not your problem Alpha,” the council member replies. “Where are you taking him?” Josie now asks stepping away from Sam. Sam grabs her arm pulling her back towards him. “Well miss, when people do things that are questionable, they are pu

Lucas POV I consider my options. Daniel is my world and I want to simply do as she says. I cannot believe my own mother has become this vicious woman. “What happened to you?” I ask her quietly. She looks at me for a moment and I see a glimmer of my mother in there. “What did not happen to me?” she snarls at me. “I do not know; I am curious,” I reply seeing Sarah and Miranda out of the corner of my eye moving to either side of the witch. I could not refer to her as my mother. The mother I remembered was kind and loving. This woman was a shell of the woman I remember. I could not remember much else, and I certainly do not remember anything painful from our past. “It does not matter now. Now I have moved on, but I want this Pack. It belongs to me,” she says as if she is in her right mind. “It belonged to father’s family,” I remind her. “I should have been given the Pack as part of our parting, but he reneged on that deal,” she says angri

Sarah POV I knew everyone was safe from the warlock’s reach so I could focus a hundred percent of my attention on destroying him. From the corner of my eye, I saw that Daniel has passed out from his injuries. The poor man probably felt relief that help was so close to him. Or he simply could not take anymore. I knew everyone was counting on me to destroy this warlock … and that is what I intended to do. I had two advantages in this fight. I was powerful, and I had my wolf, Abby, to help me. As I leapt across the space, meeting the warlock in mid-air, I released my claws trying to grab the warlock’s throat. I managed to claw him deeply but not before he quickly mended the slices with his own abilities. He could not heal, but he could throw up a spell quickly to prevent a lot of blood loss. He whips himself around and stares at me. “So, you want to play dirty, Sarah?” he says as he stalks towards me. I throw lightning bolts his way buying
