#Chapter42ANIYAH__It was evening and I know Jason would returning from his meeting soon, so I went over everything once again. I scattered scented candles across the room. Hands full of while rose petals blanketed the floor and bed. I dimmed the bedroom light, creating an atmosphere I knew he would fancy. After I showered, I slipped on something I knew he would adore. An eye catching dress that I knew he would want to remove when he saw it. I curled my hair and sprayed myself down with my favorite fragrance before I looked at myself in the mirror. Why am I so nervous?I smoothed out the creases on my dress before I stepped out to wait for him. To my surprise, he was already waiting for me. Naked. Straying away from his eyes, I found the erection that complimented me on my appearance. Butterflies tickled my stomach; my legs grew weak. The longer I waited, the more anxious I became to have him. Before I could speak, he snatched me up, pinning me against t

#Chapter44JASON_I stood in the cabin, waiting for James to arrive, but my patience was thinning out. Everyone else waited outside. They knew being inside with me would only put them in jeopardy. I knew I should have stayed. I blamed myself. “Shit.” My fist slammed down on the table. The wooden legs beneath the table crumbled. The cabin door opened. “Alpha.”I turned to see James and Aaron."What do I need to do?" James appeared ready to go. "I need something. Anything that could tell us who took her or where they are.""Yes, Alpha." He left without anymore needed instructions. "Aaron. I need you to get in touch with the Gold Wolf tribe. I may need their help also.”"No problem.” He responded before he took off. **********I could barely hold on to my stability now. I was a ticking time bomb ready to explode. Every minute that had passed felt like hours, and I still did not have much to go on. "What’s going on? What happened?" I

#Chapter46JASON_Brent and I allowed James to guide us in pursuit of finding her. With his help, we discovered a secluded home settled within the deepest, most dense part of the woods. It appeared abandoned. The windows were shattered and boarded with slabs of wood and metal. The paint chipped and cracked, exposing old brick that rested beneath it. The thought of her being in such a place angered me. "She’s in there?" I asked James.“This is where the scent runs cold.” He confirmed. Crouching behind a bush, I stood up to procced before they tugged me back. "What are you doing?" Brent gestured toward the guards that stood watch. "I’m getting her.”"Not now." Brent advised. “What the fuck do you mean?” I snatched my arm away. “If I know where she is, I getting her-““Jason, listen. Think logical. If you walk over there and start killing off rogues, that will put you, us, and especially her, in danger. I know you are moving on hatred, but we have to

#Chapter48ZEIDEN_Talking to Aniyah had deep in thought, reminiscing about my mother, which was breaking me. I missed her. I could feel her, her spirit, lingering around, blessing me. I would remind her of our promise. I told her I kept her promise, making sure she knew I was still looking after her only daughter, Alana. “If I do not make it, go to my pack. Help yourself.” She begged me. “What? I can’t do that.”“You can-““it’s not as easy as you make it sound. I’m known as a rogue man.”“I’m the Luna.” She said, hope resting in her eyes. “And I accept you. I accept you.”I can’t. I can’t just leave my sister.”“It’s okay. You did all you could do. Do not suffer for her anymore. Be happy. Be with people who will appreciate you.”It was not that easy. It will never be easy. I made a promise. "I just cant."I could not dwell on the topic any longer. I had to leave. I had to get away. Looking at her once more, I found that hope. Eyes that resemble

#Chapter50I failed to get away. I failed Zeiden, the man who struggled to free me. I failed my mother, the woman who wanted nothing but for me return home. I failed Jason. The man who I wanted to be with. Shit. Honestly, did I really believe I would outrun a werewolf?I ran as fast as my feeble legs would take me. That was until one of Kane’s men caught up to me, and dragged me right back to the house. I found Zeiden standing behind Kane. He kept his head high, but I could not ignore the look of defeat that was lingering in his eyes when he saw me. Kane pushed me to the ground before he positioned me in front of him. In front of Jason. He was standing there. Every emotion I could think of was resting on his face. Anger. Sorrow. Disappointment. Guilt. I yearned to hear his voice, but the anger that blossomed from the surrounding wolves made that impossible. He struggled to remain calm by ceasing his outburst and containing the pack. However, how could an
