Elsa“You need to shift.” Finn mutters, looking between me and the doctor. “You need to shift and you need to hunt. The sickness won’t stop until you do.”“Then I will be sick.” I moan. I was certain my insides were trying to find a way out of me.“Are you always this stubborn?”“No. Only when I’m with you. You seem to have this way of bringing it out of me.” I groan through gritted teeth as he smirks at me.I could see the doctor cocking an eyebrow at me. “Alpha, you should let her suffer. Punishment for how she is speaking to you.“And you are also speaking out of line. Elsa is a Blood Luna. Whether you like it or not.”I watch the doctor drop his head in submission. He takes several steps back. Finn's eyes are almost black as he turns to him. “Don’t ever question my decision again.” He growls and the doctor shrinks back further. His eyes are on the floor, his shoulders hunched up around his chin.“GO!” Finn mutters with a snarl.When he turns back to me, his eyes are yellow again.

NateIt had been days since I last saw her.Not hearing her or seeing those baby blue orbs was leaving a hole in my heart.I had my men search the forest for her. They found some lingering humans and took them as hostages, but none of them seemed to know what we were talking about. Or who Elsa was.Why hadn’t she come back? What had she gotten herself into?“You need to stop beating yourself up.” Mason mutters“Are you serious?” Lola snaps back. “It’s his fault she’s gone.”“Where would she go? It’s not like she has a safe place to go.” Mason shrugs his shoulders.“What if she was kidnapped? You said her mother came here. What did she want?” Lola demands.“She didn’t want anything.” I growl through gritted teeth. "Other than to tell me that Finn would come for her one day. Do you think she went to him?”They look at each other with wide eyes but don’t speak.“Someone say something.” I mutter“She wouldn’t. She doesn’t like him.” Lola gives me a weak smile. "But maybe….”“Maybe what?”

NateAlpha Craig is uncontactable. I tried. Mason and Lola tried. Even Farrah. It was even more concerning that he wasn’t responding to his own daughter.Farrah sits uncomfortably on the chair. Perched on the end, as if it would keep her safe. Her hands are bound together in her lap. Mason had placed tape over her mouth too. Mascara lines caked her cheeks from the crying.Her knee quickly jiggles up and down. I hadn’t seen her do that in a long time. It was how I knew she was actually afraid.“Shall I just kill her? Surely that will make her father come to us. He will want revenge.” Mason is smiling at her. He wasn’t exactly a fan of hers.“No way. If anyone is going to kill her, let it be me.” Lola grins from my other side.Farrah lets out a muffled yelp. More tears run down her face as her eyes plead with me.“No.”“NO??” Mason and Lola chime. “Are you mad? She could be telling her father all sorts of lies.” Lola glares at me.“She could be.” “Alpha, she's too much of a risk.” Ma

ElsaHe seemed to have thought of everything. There was no way I could win. Whatever he had planned, he had also played out different scenarios. Ensuring his plan would succeed. I felt like I was drowning in failed ideas.“I don’t know.” I whisper. My eyes were on the man, bleeding out at the table.“He told you there were others in my pack.” He points up to the camera. "I heard him."“He didn’t say who.”“I want names, Elsa.”I turn my head, just a little to focus on his yellow eyes. “He didn’t say any names. He knew it would be too risky.” I swallow the lump forming in my throat. “He knew that I couldn’t be saved.”“Who?”“He didn’t tell me a name.”“Yes, he did. He told you that Vella was working on a plan.”“Vella?” I had forgotten that. I let out a snort. “How is Vella going to help me?”He kicks Jace’s body out of the chair. Jace crumples to the ground with a sickening thud. Finn takes the seat, unphased by the pool of blood on the wooden table and chair.“You tell me.”“Vella h

Elsa.I had heard him.After all this time, I thought he had given up on me. It was such a relief to hear him. Even if it were only seconds of his voice and at the end of a phone.Finn had come to me earlier with a mobile phone. He had pressed it into my hand. It had felt like some kind of trick. All the numbers had been glued down except the answer call button.“When I call, answer.”His instructions had been simple. He said nothing else. There was no warning to not try anything stupid. Maybe because he knew that I had given up trying. Hearing Nate’s voice. It gave me so much hope.Finn cut the call after a few seconds. He had left it going long enough for me to recognise Nate’s voice, but not long enough for me to shout something.I hear a key fumbling in the lock of my door. It's finally pushed open. A large man fills the doorway. A man I had never seen before. He glares at me with his dark eyes.“We need to move.” He tries to grab me and seems surprised when I pull away."Get off
