Brandon POVWe spent the last three days running around Danny's pack getting as much prepared as we could. Any too weak to fight we're sent away to an ally pack far away. Those capable and willing to take on a freakin Lycan remained with me as their leader. "This is too much." I sighed, watching our warriors practice battle formations on the training grounds."Let's pray this is only practice. If Jeremiah kills Demetrius there will be no war." Barry stood beside me watching intently how everyone moved. He was so sexy when he was in training mode. Even when he got a bit aggressive with the teenagers, pushing them to move faster and strike harder, he was sexy."It feels too easy. Everything feels off." "No! Move like that and you're the first to die!" He shouted at a boy. He looked to be sixteen and obviously hadn't been taught anything about swords. We figured our best chance to win would be to overwhelm them and go for a kill. A Lycan's body is strong, almost impenetrable. A swift hi

Liam POVWe tracked through mud and dense forest letting a small lightning bug lead the way. The second I saw the blue glow flying around I knew it was Star sending us help. Jax moved painfully but didn't stop. Riley walked beside him trying to help support his body weight. Fear was consuming me. Jax wasn't hit with a killing blow, but he was cursed. I knew I had a large hole slowly healing on my back too, but a wound was all it was. I felt no magic left behind in it. Mildred hit me first and saw it didn't kill me. I'm guessing she decided to try a curse instead. A magical curse probably wouldn't of effected me either, but Jax wasn't gifted with a natural repellent to magic like I was."You made it!" Star let out a long breath like she had been holding it since we left. Her arms came around my neck and for the first time since knowing her I just hugged her back. It was hard finding any resentment or anger when everything was falling apart. We were fighting a battle we wouldn't win.

Riley POVI watched Liam walk out of the bedroom with slump shoulders. I knew he was different. It was a short time we were all apart, but enough happened to shake us to the core. He didn't say much about our child. His eyes told me everything though. He was hurting as badly as I was that she was taken from us. Neither of us was giving up hope yet. I knew Liam and Jax would stop at nothing until the three of us were safe again.I laid my head to Jax's chest and silently cried. I felt like that is all I have done lately. The man I loved laid fast asleep beside me and he was cursed with something that could change him forever. He was actually cursed by magic. I knew it was real, but it felt impossible. I was pregnant a few days ago and now I'm empty. My stomach felt uncomfortably small and my arms felt cold being so bare. My daughter was supposed to be here with me, with us. While we laid here, resting and worrying, my father was at Demetrius’ preparing for battle. A battle I knew no

Brandon POVI walked beside Barry with Sophia in his arms and Dylan next to me. The five boys locked up with Dylan shouted at us for being liars and hybrid loving traders. We are going to need to leave them down here for a little while.We stood outside the pack house with swarms of people around us. The crowd looked pissed, and they continue to throw stuff at us. Barry had put Sophia down to stand on her own two feet, but she wasn't doing too well."I got her!" Dylan put his arm around her waist. Sophia's brown eyes looked up to him thankfully. I think knowing he forgave her was enough for her to die peacefully. I wanted her to have more out of life though. This wasn't fair.Dylan stood in front of us, holding Sophia at his side. Barry was filled with anger, fist tight at his side, and black eyes of death to Dylan. "Let them do this, then we will bring her home." I whispered to my handsome mate, who was about to go on a killing spree.Dylan stood tall and began speaking. "I'm sorry I

Riley POVI couldn't believe the chaos that was around us. Hundreds of people fighting and screaming at each other like enemies. These people are supposed to be a pack. The most unbelievable sight was Sophia though.She didn't look like herself. Her hair black, skin covered in silver sparkles, and eyes a mysterious purple that instantly put you under her spell. Of course, dumb ass Liam falls right into her trap.The second Liam wrapped his arm around her shoulders Jax lost it. I could feel the disappointment radiating off him, both from his future pack's behavior and his former Alpha's stupidity. Something was not right here. It had to be magic and I was so over all this supernatural crap.Liam whined like a lost puppy when Jax ripped Sophia from his arms. He needed to be Alpha right now, not some love sick boy mesmerized by a damn hybrid. My hand whacked him hard against his face using a strength I didn't know I had. I heard his bone crack in his face and my eyes widened. I didn't re
