Raymond froze when his brain processed James's words -- Evelyn didn't skip his class! She was missing and he didn't even know! In the split second where Raymond was gripped by a sudden fear at this news, Sisyphus took control under his fury and jumped at James with a growl. James's eyes were flickering as his wolf pressed to the surface, too, at the challenge from Sisyphus. The two Alphas' body crashed into each other, their hands gripping the other's neck as they tried to take the upper hand, only to crash into the huge table together and broke the innocent furniture into pieces. "Give, her, back!" James shouted angrily, struggling up to his feet with a hand gripped on Raymond's collar as he launched hard punch at Raymond's face, and fighting with both James AND Raymond, Sisyphus couldn't avoid and took that punch,leaving a deep cut on the corner of his lips. Riled up by the sting, Sisyphus threw his fist into Jame's nose, and the two Alphas stood against each other with their han

"So, why are you taking such an interest in that girl?" With a light tone, Killian leaned on the wall with one foot pressed against it, making small chats as they waited for James, "she drugged you, you know? Sarah tricked her."The best and fastest way to track down a werewolf is through their mindlink. The mages created a spell for that in the war -- for a much darker and brutal purpose of course. But it came in handy today.Neither the truth about the drug incident, nor the fact that Killian knew so much about it surprised Raymond."Didn't you give her to me as my mate?" Raymond snorted coldly, folding his arms in front of his chest, taunting with a flat tone, "To us, mate is the person who interests you the most.""Speaking of," Killian gave Raymond the annoying smirk, "why are you the 'mateless' Alpha? I mean, you wouldn't get such a name if you have lost your mate, or just haven't found her yet, right?"[I'm NOT mateless!] Sisyphus growled, getting frustrated. Mate was the bleedi

"Who are you?!" Sarah screamed at Killian, and at the same time shot a fire ball at him, to which Killian just waved his cane in an almost lazy move, and the fireball extinguished into the air."Calm down," Killian frowned lightly, dusting his spotless sleeves, "you don't want me to alert the authorities now, do you?"Sarah's eyes glimmered in delighting -- Killian wanted to report her, meaning he wasn't sent by the Triskaideka Coven, or he would have been there for her life.And she already knew she was not his match."What do you want?" Sarah tried to calm her voice, but she failed to hide the fear."What all wandering mage wants with a criminal?" Killian laughed brightly, "Rewards, of course.""I have money!" Sarah blurted in panic, only to remember that Killian was the heir of Dunn Group, the empire with assets that measures by billion, "I -- I have a totem, from which you can drain power!"Mages would protect their totems well because they would get hurt if their totems are hurt,

"Raymond?" James said in hesitation -- he understood the weight of this decision on Raymond's conscience, but Raymond's eyes flickered already -- he was mindlinking."Please, Alpha," Killian snapped his finger and Raymond's phone flew out from his pocket, "use this, if you will?"Killian forced Raymond to use Ava just so he could make sure to get Ava to hate Raymond if he needed to, so he wasn't going to let Raymond mindlink anyone to make other arrangements without sacrificing Ava.After all, Raymond didn't need to hurt Ava to begin with.Understanding Killian's intention, Raymond snorted coldly before he grabbed his phone and called Theo instead of mindlinking."Theo?" Raymond asked when the phone call was put through, "I need you to do something for me."Killian tapped his own ear twice, and seeing that, Raymond put the phone call on speaker."Anything you need, Alpha," Theo answered swiftly, and the noise on the other side faded instantly. Theo was in a war room, having people loo

Raymond turned to Sarah at her exclaim. "Thank God you are--" Raymond's voice took a sudden halt before he continued, and this time his voice was shivering slightly as if he was in fear, "...a-are you alright? I smell blood on you..." It was Evelyn's blood, he recognized the scent, but he couldn't ask Sarah directly. He had to stick to the plan. "It's nothing!" Sarah checked herself half-mindedly before she grabbed Raymond's arms, "What about Ava?! Is she alright
