Marissa POV.Uncertainty gnaws away at my insides as I make my way to the laboratory. I really hope Cody has found something, but my gut is telling me something isn’t right. Pushing the door open, my eyes widen. Not only is Cody here, but so is Lucy. A smirk forms on my face, oh how I would love to tease them right now, but the looks on their faces makes me stop. They both look extremely serious right now. “Ok guys, what’s happened?” I ask as I walk close to Cody and Lucy.“I’m sorry Dr Ramsey, I took a nap last night and when I woke up to check the results, I saw that the samples you brought had been contaminated.” My eyebrow furrow. The samples became contaminated? But how? This is seriously becoming a joke. Whoever is behind this is definitely covering their tracks well. Sighing, I pinch the bridge of my nose as I pace back and forth, my heart beating wildly. Why is this happening to me?“Is there any chance we could get the right analysis?” I ask as I move toward the lab chair t

Marissa POV.Heading back home, I can’t help feeling sick with worry. I just know something has happened or is about to happen. Dr Brenden’s disappearance has truly scared me. I hope Greyson can find him, or at least an address for him. All I can do is wait patiently for his call, but I do not know how long that will take. I suppose I should bite the proverbial bullet, so to speak, and ask Damien what happened and where he went. After all, it was he who banished him. He is such a dickhead and right now I don’t want to ask him for anything, especially after what Jessica said earlier.I pull up to the driveway of my house and I’m thankful that the CCTV has been installed, and the front door has been replaced. The locksmith is still here as I approach him and his team. “Hi, thank you so much for doing this.” I say as I move closer to him. He stops and smiles at me as he finishes screwing the last screw in place.“No problem, love. Oh, your new furniture arrived while we were installing

Marissa POV.Rogues. These wolves used to belong to packs. Some choose to leave their pack for whatever reason whilst some would have been banished. Over time, they lose touch with their human side and stay locked in their wolf form. But they all have the same distinct scent, colourings, and eye colour. The stench of death and decay, their fur no longer the colour it was when they lived in a pack. They have adapted to their environment, their fur dark as mud and eyes red as a traffic light. Once the wolf form takes over permanently, they lose all sense of humanity and go insane with the need to kill, and they don’t care who it is. They are mindless killing machines. Like zombies only after the need to satisfy their hunger and to dominate any weary traveller that strays from the path, kind of like me. I can’t survive against the rogues. “Zarah, if you can hear me, please. I need you!” I panic as I try to reach my wolf, trying my best to break the barrier that binds her in place, but

Marissa POV.The thunder wakes me up. Something feels different in me. Like something is calling to me. But I’m not sure what. Shuffling towards the edge of the bed, I place my feet down as I stand. I wince as I collapse on the ground with a thud. Damn stupid ankle. How could I forget my ankle was damaged? Robert enters the room and sees me on the floor.“Why didn’t you shout me? Instead, you tried to stand on your own. Stay still and listen to me.” he scolds me as he picks me up bridal style and carries me into the living room. Not only are Thomas and Sandra both in the living room, but another man, too. I look at him warningly as he offers me a small smile. Ok what is going on?Robert moves to the sofa and sits down with me on his lap. I try to move, but he growls and I stiffen. He leans back as his thumb rubs soothing circles on my lower back. I lean into him. “Marissa, how did you sleep?” I turn my head to Thomas as he and Sandra look at me cautiously. My eyebrows furrow as I bit

Robert POV.All night, I sat next to Marissa’s bed, thinking about everything that has happened since I waltzed back into her life. Everything that has happened to her is my doing, but I want to make it right. I can’t leave her. I love her. I spoke to Anders again after the revelation of Marissa’s dream. Something doesn’t add up. How can she be the cursed wolf of The Snow Vale Pack? I groan as I stroke her face as she sleeps. I jolt back when I feel the slight tingles. My eyes widen as Nero purrs. This isn’t possible. You only feel these tingles with your mate. I tilt my head back and close my eyes. So many questions fill my head. There is only one place that holds the answers I seek and that is The Snow Vale Pack. “I will get to the bottom of this, my Regina. I will not leave you again. You have my word, you are mine.” I kiss her forehead as a small moan leaves her perfect lips. I move to the sofa and lay down. My forearm resting on my forehead as I look at the ceiling.“Selene, w
