SARCANAI was starting to wonder if all this was my fault, why did I insist on staying behind when they tried to convince me to go? I was so blinded by my desire to avenge the death of my husband that I didn’t consider the fact that the wolf's attack would be this coordinated.Bastien and I had our hands full, there were eight attackers surrounding us and no way to flee. Not that I was planning on fleeing at that moment, I could only see revenge.Mia, her mates, Leo and Olivia came back to the sitting room, I assumed it was all because somehow the back way was blocked or not accessible.I still was not worried, Mia was strong enough to handle all the small fries, they did not seem like they seriously wanted to harm her, we still had the chance to win this fight, we just had to fight our way through this and we were home free.One of the eight attackers came at me and I slashed his throat with my claws before he could even carry out his attack. It had been a long time since I had fough

SARCANAI watched Rylee retreat and then disappear into the night with Philip then Bastien called my attention to Javier, I wanted to go after them, go after the rogue king and get my daughter back but I knew that he was long gone, right now, what I could do was help Javier.I ran over, “move aside,” I said.They obeyed and gave me the space I needed to work.“Can you heal him?” Leo asked anxiously.“I’ll do my best,” I replied.“What does that mean? Is it a yes or a no?” he barked.Bastien placed a hand on his shoulder, “let her do her thing, Leo.”I ignored him, the cut was deep, and I was wondering what approach I could take to help Javier.I spread out her hands over the wound and began chanting words in a low tone. It had been a while since I had performed a healing spell, I wasn’t sure it was going to work but it was worth a try.It was an ancient healing spell I learned a long time ago, I started muttering the Latin words over and over again, “Aufer iniuriam, repone vitam et vi

RYLEEThe atmosphere was tense in the warehouse in the lower district where we were surrounded by an army of wolves that seemed keen to take our head off.Philip called it a necessary precaution, I thought it was an ambush but it looked like I was wrong and he was right. The rogue king seemed to have indeed agreed to meet up in good faith and he was holding Mia somewhere we did not know about.There was the option of trying to get into his mind and find out where Mia was but I knew that it would not be easy to do that and he would probably notice the moment I tried and that could blow our chance. Now we had one task before us… find a way to convince him that it would be in his best interest to work together with us.“Maybe you did not hear me the first time, give me one good reason why I should work with the likes of you?” he repeated his question.Philip answered, “We go way back, Damien… you know I am good for my word. I promised you that I would take no action against you until I h

MIAThe feeling was a familiar one, a strange weakness that seemed to reach right down into my bones. It flowed throughout my body and kept me feeling impotent and unable to do anything. I was trying to figure out where I had felt like this before but I could not recall.I gasped in shock when I saw the man who had knocked me out talking to somebody in a hushed voices.I tried to use my super hearing but I could not still make out what they were saying. At first, I thought that they were burning incense that was what was interfering with my super hearing and stopping me from eavesdropping on their conversation but I was wrong.I tried to extend my claws, if I was going to get out of this place then I knew that I needed to fight. I needed to tap into my power and break free on my own. Nothing happened.I tried extending it again, but once more, nothing happened.'Lynn, are you there? I need your help again, let's work together to get out of here,' I said to my wolf.I waited... there w

RYLEEI gritted my teeth, the nerves that Sarcana must have reaching out to me, she must be feeling very desperate to take a step like this. This was an opportunity I knew I could not pass up, a chance to see the mighty Sarcana on her knees."Something's come up, I have to leave," I said to Philip.He looked at me with those empty eyes of his but he said nothing."Wherever it is you are going, make sure you return on time. You don't want to cause us any delay at all," Damien warned.I smirked at him as if I of all people who have waited for this for the longest of time would be the one to put it in jeopardy, "Don't work yourself into a state, I will be back before you even notice I'm gone. Just got one minor thing to take care of.""Maybe I should send some of my wolves to escort you," Damien insisted.Now it looked like he just wanted to get on my nerves, "Do I look like someone who cannot take care of themselves to you? I don't need whatever feeble protection you are offering."He s
