Chapter 21: Ready or Not
FAYEIt never came. I lay on the dirt, breathing heavily and painfully. My ribs ached as I felt someone's feet approach me. Heavy footsteps by the sound of it.I could feel my left eye throbbing like it had a heartbeat. My whole body hurt in the worst ways. Tears mixed with the blood and sand underneath my face. Had they sent someone else to finish me? I doubt the warrior was tired out. He bent over my weak and broken form and I knew who it was in a flash. Nathan. "Weakling. You've convinced me you are worth nothing more than the turd beneath my shoes." His words hit me like blows. I closed my eyes tightly; the tears rolling down. What had I expected? Why was I thinking this man would show me any kindness or even pity? I heard his footsteps recede as he walked back out of the ring. My heart raged as I lay there. Unable to move even as I tried to raise myself up off the floor, at least. I struggled to my hands, raising myself above the floor a good way. Inching my knees closer

Chapter 22: A Walk Down The Gallows
FAYEThe makeup covered my slightly swollen eyes well. And the lipstick had evened out the line of my lips, where it had split. It was always one horror or another; I thought miserably as they fussed at me, trying to fit my dress. He'd had me beaten to a pulp, had watched it languidly, like you'd watch an unimpressive performance. He had felt nothing except distaste and scorn at my weakness. I forced the nausea down. I had no choice in the proceedings except for the choice of dress to wear, but I would try to carry it through with dignity.They had humiliated me countless and so frequently that I clung to what remained of my pathetic dignity like a shield.A day to wake up, and the next I was supposed to walk down the aisle with the man I had loved and now grown to despise. But just the thought of seeing him made my heart ache. If I could just get my wolf up. If I could become a real werewolf like everyone else, have my strength and abilities, then maybe I'd stand a chance with him

Chapter 23: Hair Day
NATHAN"Did you get her back safely?" I sat behind my desk, Lannons intense gaze almost boring a hole in my face. Lannon liked keeping things clean. He didn't like the way we'd snatched the girl, he'd said. Or even how we'd taken her back to the bar. We'd knocked her out with a sleeping pill, placing her comfortably in the car and driving her to the bar. That was a clean method, if you asked me. She was unhurt, and we had a little bit of information to work with for all our troubles. "I assume by get her back safely, you mean did I see or hear anything... interesting?""Actually, I meant, did you get her back safely, but that works too."He nodded. "I got her back to the bar with no interference. And no. Didn't see nothing. And didn't hear nothing."I stood from my chair, pacing around to his side of the table. Lannon leaned back in his chair, placing his hands on the arms and crossing his legs like we had all the damn time in the world to relax."So much happened in that bar bef

Chapter 24: Someone in His Bed
NATHAN"So, she's more calculated than we thought she'd be. More careful." I said slowly. Lannon pulled up to the pack house and parked out front. "When last did you meet a witch who cast spells to keep werewolves out?"I considered the question, remembering days when my terror of a father had been the pack Alpha. Lots of witches hadn't liked his forced servitude. They'd taken to casting spells that kept werewolves out. The spells created an invisible barrier only we could feel. Humans could get through easy peasy. Our kind could sense magic, but there was nothing you could do to get past those spells. Unless you had a witch who could undo it. Or a human who was part of the pack. My mind went to Faye. If she was latent, did that mean she could get through such barriers? Not that she'd be of much help, seeing as she couldn't hold her own, neither could she think fast on her feet. "What are you thinking?" Lannon asked. "Come on. Can't talk here."We got out, climbing the stairs

Chapter 25: Throes of Love
FAYEI kept myself numb. That was the only way to survive the shock of what I'd seen. Nathan, with another woman. And not one I had the pleasure of saying I didn't know. He'd been with her on the day we got married. Why? He didn't care for me at all. Or was it because we hadn't been married yet?I said the vows in a trance, my whole body quivering as I listened to Nathan say his. Viewing the farce with detachment kept me sane. It was like I was floating outside of my body. I was the spectator, and not the bride. Soon as the ceremony was over, I realized I wasn't Luna yet. As was the custom, I had to be coronated at the marriage ceremony. Soon enough, they answered my silent questions. There was a second ceremony. In the throne room. This time with only the werewolf community present. The elder and other girls my age got me ready all over again. And we hastened to the throne room.My bones were weary with fatigue, and exhaustion made my eyelids droop. How much longer would this

Chapter 26: Rejected Luna
FAYEI'm surprised when maids come into my room to help me dress for the day. Clothes befitting a Luna had been readied for me. I'm wearing a blue dress with pearls adorning my neck. I looked like I did the week I spent with Nathan again, I thought as I viewed my reflection in the mirror. Patrice entered the room. The silver-haired lady whose face was permanently in a disapproving scowl. "You're supposed to be at the pack meeting. The Luna decides on important matters beside the Alpha."I walked to her, feeling twitchy in the dress I'm wearing. I'm not used to dressing so lavishly for a simple day indoors. I followed Patrice down to the lounge as she gave me a brief tour of the house. It's the first time I'm being taken round the house that it's not to take part in something horrible. Like the fight at the arena and my marriage ceremony just the day before."You're Luna now, Faye. You're second in command only to Nathan. Carry yourself with authority."I looked at the woman in su

Chapter 27: Missing Link
NATHANI stared at the offending medical gel in the cupboard. I'd tired of staring at the remnant whip marks on Faye's skin and had gone to get this. I'd been sidelined looking for Jordan and then finding him dead. I took it out and thrashed it. Women like Faye were weak. Never defended themselves or anything they had and they always fell for men who were so wrong for them. I laughed scornfully as I remembered her declaration of love when we'd been together and in the basement her father had kept her in. The spineless love she thought she felt. She should know that love is nothing to be proud of. It was just a fickle emotion that drove people to their doom.I took out the razor I'd come looking for in the cupboard and went to the bathroom. Standing in front of the washroom mirror, I shaved my jaw, nicking myself a little. I watched in the mirror as the skin healed up immediately. I wiped at my face with a towel, moving to the closet to get dressed.Ernouf had sent a report. He

Chapter 28: Gone Wolf
NATHANWhen I saw Rhea come out of the doors of the hair salon, I took a moment to think fast.She was a werewolf, and she had just stepped out of the hair salon, which was supposed to be spelled.It only meant one thing. "The spell. The barrier is down," I said, my eyes still on Rhea as she walked down the road on the sidewalk.I picked up my phone, dialing Carolyn, but there was no answer. She'd probably left her phone in the car. The salon wasn't safe anymore. If the barrier was down, making it easy for anyone to access the salon, then they would be on high alert for any werewolves that may go in there. If they already knew, we were on their tail. If they suspected, we knew what was up. Fuck. But that was a lot of ifs.I watched grimly as she entered the hair salon. There was no going back now. But Carolyn was a good fighter. And her wolf was strong. She'd have to look out for herself in there. "What about Rhea?" Lannon asked. "Leave her."He didn't question me, but he shot me

Chapter 29: Saved By The Alpha
FAYEI strolled the grounds, feeling a sort of peace I had never felt before. I knew it was a fragile sort of peace. Like the way I felt when my father, stepmother, and Erin went on their little family trips without me. I always enjoyed those weekends I was home alone. It was always short-lived, but it was more than I even hoped for. The garden was peaceful. Bees buzzed around the petals of the flowers, singing songs of seduction. I tried to remove my mind from the worry that plagued me. The maids hadn't come today. It was like after Nathan had thrown me out of the pack meeting, word had gone round of what happened. I refused to take my meals at the dining hall. The looks and insults I got during the meals too unbearable. I ate in my room alone. I walked past the garden further into the grounds of the Villa. There were huge trees all over the place in the back. Trees with outstretched branches you could climb onto and watch the sunset. The sun had already gone down for the day.

Chapter 30: Just This Once
FAYENathan's eyes are roaring fire, his lips curled back, exposing his incisors. His snarl is full of violence and aggression that have been in tight control. Now there is no control. The three of them shrank back as their petrified forms trembled at the sight of Nathan. One of them letting out a terrified whine."You fools. You just signed your death sentence." He snarled in a tone that left no doubt as to the retribution they would get. Tyler sank to his knees in front of Nathan, his two hands rubbing together as he begged for his pathetic life. "Mercy," He begged. "Alpha. I swear on my life, I'll keep my hands to myself."Nathan howled, appearing before Tyler where he knelt, in a flash and grabbing him by the neck, hauling him across the space. He hit a tree trunk, tumbling to the ground. Nathan wasn't done with him. Tyler stood, a growl on his face as he challenged Nathan.I watched the scene in gory fascination. Breathing hard as I felt pain each time I drew a breath. Natha
