Chapter 41
Kierian-From the moment that Aryan stepped out onto the field, I had been stunned. I didn’t know what she would do or why, but I hadn’t even realized she was there until she stood beside Sylvie. Typically, I could sense her, but not tonight.It was like she wasn’t her. There was something different about her, especially her scent. I hadn’t been able to figure it out. When she started talking, I had to focus on what she was saying, as I was distracted with figuring out why she was suddenly different.Only after she started explaining what happened to her was I able to hear her. As she talked, I wanted to go to her, to comfort her, but I had been too immersed to move. The more she spoke, the more I felt like an idiot for my behavior.I didn’t know what to say, to do, how to react, nothing. As I watched her run off the field, it was like my entire body had become as frozen as she described in her recollection of watching her family die. If I had experienced what she did, I would have li

Aryan-I knew I should turn around, but it was too late. I was almost to my destination. Since crossing the state line, I have had a bad feeling. I couldn’t describe it, other than that. All the way to the pit of my stomach, something was urging me to turn around.On the plus side, I have almost forgotten about how I made a fool of myself, once again. Almost. This was at least giving me something else to think about. Turning down the road that would take me closer to the Pack that I was going to, I checked the time on my stereo to see that it was just after eight in the morning.On the drive here, I already set up a hotel for two nights, just in case I couldn’t find what I was looking for, in one night. Seeing a gas station, I realized I should stop to get a few things and a charger since my phone was dead. I am sure my Godparents were freaking out, so I needed to check-in.Pulling off the road, I parked the car at the gas pump so I could also top up my fuel. Turning off the car, I gr

Kierian-I almost didn’t slam on my brakes when I drove into the parking lot of the hotel. Tires screeched as I stopped just a mere foot away from a woman holding a child in her arms. As I got out of the car, the scent of burnt rubber filled the air.I didn’t even ask questions as I felt the beast inside of me come alive. My body began to crack and stretch as I shifted into my Lycan form. The fear on the faces of the crowd in the parking lot satisfied me, but not fully.I sensed that Connor, Sylvie, and Liam also followed my lead and shifted into their Lycan form. My body vibrated as I let out a deep growl that was enough to cause the car alarm to go off. Taking a step forward I lunged out to grab the closest one to me, but he backed out of my reach.“Fall back!” Another man shouted and soon everyone started running away.I wanted to chase them, but something else caught my attention. The strong aroma of lilacs and blood was coming from the room that Aryan’s car was parked in front of

Aryan-I felt strong, powerful, and like I could do anything in the world. I didn’t know what was going on with me, but honestly, it didn’t matter. I was no longer a wolfless girl, even though I never could have imagined I was a Lycan.Both of my parents were werewolves, so I didn’t understand how it was possible. If what the witch said was true, that I was blessed by the Goddess, then I suppose that would be the only thing that made sense. I was curious why I was chosen by the Goddess, but I knew that was a question I would never be able to know the answer to.“Tell me what happened.” I waved at the man to follow me into the room.As I reached the door, I stopped and saw the destruction that I had caused. Spinning around, I faced everyone with my face growing hotter by the second. So much for thinking we could sit down to talk about everything.“On second thought, why don’t we just stay outside.” I laughed nervously.It wasn’t the damage that prevented us from going inside, it was th

Aryan-Sitting on the couch in the living room, I sat between Kierian and Liam. Sylvie and Connor were still in Lycan form. The house was large enough so they could move in and out of the house without trouble. Now that Liam has shifted into his human form, it is easy to guess that the other male Lycan was Connor.Although the couch was oversized, three witches were sitting on chairs they brought from the kitchen table. Things were a bit tense, as I was sure they didn’t like that there were more Lycans involved than just me. One of them asked if it was necessary for there to be four of us.“Let’s start with when this happened.” Kierian led the discussion.“It started a month ago. At first, we thought that one of the kids just wandered off. It happened in the morning. The first child was sixteen, and she just received her license. She has a boyfriend a few towns over, so we thought she went to see him. It wasn’t the first time, which is why it didn’t raise any flags for anyone. It wasn

Aryan-“What do you think we should do?” After reviewing the files for the past few hours, I asked the others.“I don’t think what we do matters, but we need to do it quickly.” Connor sighed.“Why do you say that?” I pulled my brows together and focused my attention on him.For the last hour, it could tell something was bothering him. He won’t tell anyone, even when I have asked if he is okay. It seemed like he was on edge.“Tomorrow is Halloween. If something is going to happen with those children, it will be tomorrow. There is a chance that I am wrong.” Connor leaned back on the couch and crossed one leg over the other.“You don’t think they are waiting to do anything with the kids until Halloween, do you?” I jerked my head around as I looked at Kierian.He paused before answering, which didn’t bode well with me. “It is possible. It might not be true as well. We don’t know why they took the kids. Other than they are all children, born from a witch family and the same coven, I do no

Aryan-As soon as we were ready, we drove the long way around town to enter from the opposite side. If we entered from the side the witches were on, they were likely already watching out for them to cross. When we were at the border, I was having second thoughts.“What if they catch us the moment we cross?” I asked Kierian.“Don’t worry, even if we are caught, I won’t let anything happen to you.” He smiled at me, which didn’t help ease my tension.It wasn’t me that I was worried about. It was the kids, him, and the witches. As for me, I knew Kierian would put my safety above all else. I still didn’t know how I felt about it, but I had to admit it was slightly comforting.“We need to use our link to communicate from now on.” Liam said upon exiting the car we borrowed from one of the witches.It was a minivan and would be able to hold most of us. Connor, Sylvie, and Liam were going to create a diversion when we had the kids so there was enough room for Kierian, me, and the kids. It was

Aryan-I didn’t know why I hadn’t smelled it sooner, but the scent of burnt sulfur was heavy in the air as we approached what looked like a warehouse. When we reached the large door that would allow us to gain access to the building, the others joined us. We stopped and looked at each other for a long time without speaking.I couldn’t be sure if they were communicating with each other without including me. I felt like I was in the dark about what was going on. They all had a look of understanding on their faces that I couldn’t grasp.“What is it?” I asked, using the link, since I wasn’t sure if we were being quiet anymore or not.“When a Lycan is being burned, they secrete a strong sulfur scent. There is a Lycan here, but I don’t think they are here on their own. We were going to rush in but realized that if they could capture one of our kind, then it is likely that this situation is a lot more dangerous than we thought.” Kierian responded telepathically, which confirmed we were still

Aryan-Relying on pure instinct, I ran through the warehouse. I had no idea where to find Kierian’s sister, but I had to try. It would be easier if it weren’t for how strong the burnt sulfur scent was. The others were in the same predicament as I was.“In here!” Callie’s voice rang out, causing me to skid across the floor slightly as I stopped.Backtracking a few steps, I peered through the small window of a room I passed. I hadn’t seen anything the first time I looked. Pushing open the door, I stuck my head in and smiled when I saw her chained to a table in the corner of the room.Without waiting, I moved toward her to try to get her freed. “I am so glad to see you.”“Me too, girl, now get me out of here.” She tugged at the chain that I started trying to unlock.“Can you try breaking out?” I asked, even though I knew it was pointless.“If I could, I would have already been out of this. They gave me something that is making me weak. Also, they spent four days stabbing me with a hot me

Kierian-Pacing the foyer of the house we were staying in, I kept checking the clock on the wall when I would turn to glance at the door. Aryan was currently in a magical coma, where her body was frozen in time. I didn’t know that was possible until the witches said it was the only way to keep the silver from entering her bloodstream.It has been ten hours since we returned to the house, and everyone has been running around trying to help. The witches were grateful that we rescued the kids, but it annoyed me every time they brought over food. I understood they were trying to help, but we wouldn’t be in this situation if it weren’t for them.Actually, I take that back. We would still be in the situation. If there was anyone to blame, it was me. If I hadn’t been so pigheaded about everything, we would have found a different way to approach this mess. My sister wouldn’t have been used as a trump card, Aryan wouldn’t have been forced to help the witches, and she wouldn’t be floating in th
