Abbie's POVHunter and Anthony were taking a while to return from the jewelry shop, so I decided to make a few cookies. I have cravings for sweet stuff, ok? Don't judge.Plus, I haven't baked anything since the day I arrived at Hunter's pack, and if I'm being fairly honest, I was missing my parents and everyone back home right now. I don't know what's wrong with me. I love Hunter and everyone in this pack... but I can't help but miss my family suddenly. So, while I baked a storm of cookies, I was on a three-way phone call with my best friend, Marissa, and my sister, Felicity. "I honestly have no idea what I will wear that day. I've been looking at these gorgeous dresses online in Designs by Mila."I say, making my sister Felicity gasp over the phone."Oh my goddess, I love her. She is a freaking genius. But her designs are so freaking expensive!" my sister says, making me chuckle. "Yeah, that's because they are all exclusive designs, Feli. I mean, the most she will make is three of

Armand"I have to tell her. I have to, I just have to… I have to. I, I, I can't just sit back and do nothing, Jen. I have to talk to Abbie and tell her the truth. I have to talk to her,” I repeated again and again, trying to convince myself that telling Abbie the truth about her real mom was the right thing."Matisa and Santiago will surely kill you if you tell Abbie the truth, Armand, and you know that.”“ I can’t keep being a coward. I have to stop hiding from them.”“I won’t lose you again, Armand. I won't. I need you… Chloe needs you. What about us? If Santiago finds out, he will tell Matisa, and she will come for you. Please think about this.” “I’ve thought about this every day of my life. Ever since that little girl came to us, I have been thinking about her and who she belongs to. I betrayed my queen. I betrayed my alpha and her mate the minute I decided to help Matisa. The minute I agreed to take that little girl and torture her is the day I died.” I said, nodding through tea

Armand"I don't like this, Armand. Can't you talk to Hunter first? Maybe he can help us. This has to do with his mate. He has the right to know. Plus, confronting Taylor on your own doesn't sound like the best idea." Jen says as I sit with her at the dinner table, sipping a warm coffee. I had to wait until our daughter Chloe was sound asleep to sneak out and talk to Taylor. I didn't want my little girl to worry about me. She can sense when something is wrong, and lately, she is very uneasy."Sweetheart, we talked about this. Please... I need to know where Matisa is. We might not have that much time. You and I know what she is capable of. We can't let her go after Abbie. Abbie is not trained. She won't know what to do when she's against her while using her magic powers. I already hurt Abigail far too much. I need to do what's right and find where Matisa is hiding. If someone needs to finish her off, it has to be me." But I can't help but wonder if Jen is right. Hunter is powerful. H

Abbie's POVThe moment I walked away from Armand, I knew it was just a matter of time before discovering the absolute truth. I hid while ensuring Anthony was cared for somewhere else to keep him safe, and I followed Armand without anyone knowing. I saw how he argued with Jen and Tara. I hid while hearing how he stormed toward Taylor's room. But my biggest disappointment was when I peaked a little and saw the way he argued with a so-called friend of mine. I can't tell you how turmoiled I felt at the moment. I wanted to rip her apart but couldn't blow my cover. It was enough trouble trying to get in there unnoticed and hiding my scent. But if it weren't for me, Merida would have forced herself out and done it on my behalf. I knew better, though; we cannot be too hasty. Armand is a piece of work, but I get why he did it now. He had the hots for this chick. I mean, I don't know how old she is, but she looks young. Which I don't get, so I'm still confused. If she could do magic, it sim

HunterI woke up somewhere around four in the morning with a beautiful sleeping Abbie next to me. Her body was still naked, making me sigh as I admired the view. Fuck, I am so in love with this woman.As feisty and stubborn as she is, she rocks my world, making me want to become a better man. But a pang in my heart is turmoiled. If this... Matisa woman tries to hurt Abbie... I don't know what I'm going to do. I've never fought against any witch. I do know that they are tricksters and will do anything to play shady when at war. We can only use our abilities to shift onto our wolf and use our strength and training, but they can use their magic, spells, and whatever shift they have been bestowed upon. From what I have learned, most have chosen to shift onto a bird-like creature, but some have decided to shift onto a different animal, like a wolf, which is far smaller than our wolves but relatively strong. Some can turn into Lycans, which, again, are fairly smaller and less strong, but
