~Gabby’s POV~We saw the fog from the windows. The branches of the trees were swinging in the winds and water trails went down the glass.My mother was watching me, as was my father. After she had said those words I completely lost my ability to speak. Cassy had said this when we were with the witch. She said that they would come and take me back. I swore that I wouldn't let that happen but I needed to regain my voice and my strength. I still felt broken and so scared.”Perhaps that is not her wish anymore,” Marie said and stared daggers at my mother.I knew that the niceties were all gone and people's true colors were about to come out. It was about to get ugly. ”Gabriella?” Marie said and I shook my head. ”No,” I squealed, hoping it would've sounded stronger.My mother tilted her head to the side and smiled.

”Dimitri, ready the cars, we’re leaving.” Gabby’s mom said and raised her head. I stepped around and my warriors stood in front of the doors, blocking the exit. ”Move.” Dimitri growled and his Alpha and Luna stood behind him. ”Not gonna happen, I'm gonna need you to step back.” I said and stepped in between. I placed a hand on Dimitris chest and pushed back. His eyes started glowing and he extended his canines. He slapped my hand away, extended his claws and tried slashing at me. I dodged it and pushed with both hands at his chest causing him to fly back. The other warriors readied themselves and started growling. My father and gabby’s brothers stepped around the table and came closer to us. Dmititri got back up and raised his hand throwing a punch. I grabbed his hand, crushing every bone in it before landing my fist on his face. ”Alpha Aiden, this is enough! If you want your pack member back alive you and your men will step aside or I will make a call and her life will be

Cole was sent out. He picked five warriors and they headed into the cars. He stopped before he got in, he met my gaze and I bowed my head in respect. They took off and now we just had to wait. I looked around the house for Gabby but didn't see her anywhere. My parents were in the dining room, helping clean up. Gabby’s brothers were removing the bodies and instructing their pack’s warriors on where to stay. I went up the stairs and stopped outside her room. I raised my hand to knock but instead turned the doorknob and stuck my head in. Gabby was standing by the window with a blanket wrapped around her body. She was looking out into the darkness. ”You can come in,” she said in a broken voice. I slowly closed the door behind me and walked up to her. The room was dark, she hadn't turned any lamps on and she looked content but I knew there was a horror movie in her mind playing over and over again. And she couldn't shut it off. I stood next to her and looked out over the grounds.

~Aiden’s POV~ ”How the fuck could they have known that we were coming for Cassy?” I ran a hand through my hair and paced around the room. ”All he said was ’thank her for me’” Her? ”Aiden, calm down. Now is not the time.” Nick said and stepped in front of me. I was heaving, I knew exactly who the bitch was that had crossed us but how could she know? How the fuck did Sam know about our plans? She wasn't even in the room, or the house when everything went down. ”She couldn't have known, she wasn't here,” Edmund said and furrowed his brows. Gabby had left to check on Cassy and she wasn't going to leave her side until she woke up. We knew that Sam couldn't be trusted and that she was a sneaky bitch who hated Gabby's guts but how the fuck could she have given out the plans? ”Sam couldn't have known,” I said and shook my head. I realized I repeated Edmund's words but none of this made any sense. Two of the people were dead, the others had been there the entire time with our warrior

There had to be a way. Cassy was not a weak girl and neither was her wolf. She had to get better, there had to be a way for her to heal. ”Sorry, Alpha. But if her wolf doesn't start healing her soon I'm not sure how much longer she’ll be with us,” ”There has to be a way, what can I do?””There isn’t, it’s all up to her now and now I'm not even sure if that is enough. This poor girl has suffered immense damage to both the outer and the inner body. A regular human being would've died long ago but if her wolf is too weak, it’s not certain that she can heal,” I clapped him on his back as he left the room. Fuck.I turned my head and choked on a breath when I saw Gabby sitting up, her eyes wide open and tears falling down her cheek.Mr.Maler twisted on the little sofa bed and grunted as he got up. Gabby quickly wiped her tears so that he wouldn't see it. ”Thomas,” I said and looked at him.”Why don't you and I go get some breakfast back at the house?” ”No, no I have to be here when sh
