[Rosalie’s POV]Panic rushes through me as I try to determine whether or not the darkness was randomly possessing Rio and Oscar or if... No. I couldn’t think like that, not after everything Gil did for me.Shaking off my unease, I continue to move in hopes of shaking off the two that are diligently chasing me.As we move, those around us work to get out of the way, while others yell and pull out their phones. Luckily, this was an area that was populated only by wolves; otherwise, there would be a lot of trouble to clean up later.Gil, I think inwardly, deciding that was the thing to focus on right now. I needed to find him. I was certain that once I did, I would find Diego and Geo as well.Picking up my pace, I extend my senses until I feel Gil.Bursting forward, I head in the direction his energy is coming from at full speed until, finally, I see him.‘Gil!’ I call, hoping that he can hear me. ‘I need some help here!’As the words leave me, Gil’s gaze comes to rest on me, and when it

[Rosalie’s POV]I reach down and pull Geo into my arms while Diego takes me in with an unreadable expression. However, when he opens his mouth in an attempt to say something in response to my words, Kate is leaping up and rushing toward me.“Don’t,” I warn, letting my aura explode from me so that it sends her skittering backward. “Don’t come any closer.”As I speak, her eyes grow wide, and outrage fills them, but I don’t care. I wasn’t the same woman from the past who continuously bowed down and let others walk all over her. Since having Geo, I knew that way of thinking and acting couldn’t continue. I now had a little life that was entrusted to me to protect, and I planned on doing that.“Whatever you plan on saying or doing, save it.” I continue, narrowing my gaze. “If you’re worried that I will barge in and ruin your perfect little family, you can save it. I have no intention of doing that. However, I would appreciate it if you could keep your man in line.”At my words, a growl of a

[Rosalie’s POV]I stare on, watching as Annemarie gets into the car in front of me. While she moves, she doesn’t dare look at me, and I’m not sure if it is because she truly doesn’t remember me or if it’s because of the man with her. Even if they were trying to come across as a loving couple, it was clear there was a power dynamic between the two.Frowning, I feel the sudden urge to kidnap Annemarie from that car, but before I can actually act, it begins to move, taking Annemarie away while I stay in place, being utterly useless.“Rosalie!” Gil calls as I continue to watch the disappearing car. “What are you doing?”“I thought I saw someone I knew.” I explain, fighting with whether or not it was actually Annemarie. “But I was mistaken.”“That’s too bad.” Gil murmurs, clapping my shoulder. “If that’s the case, then you should just forget about it.”Forget about it. That was easier said than done, especially given the circumstances surrounding Annemarie. Well, at least, the ones that we

[Diego’s POV]My eyes grow wide as shock rushes through me over what Chanel has just told me. After so many years of searching for Annemarie with no luck here, she was in the same fucking city as Rosalie. What were the fucking chances?"Diego, are you still there?” Chanel asks when the silence drags on too long. “Or have you already run off to search?”“No, I’m still here.” I say. “Thanks for the information.” I continue. “If you get to know anything else, be sure to tell me.”“Roger that.” Chanel chirps. “But do me a favor and bring my friend home.”For a moment, I don’t speak as her words make my heart squeeze painfully.“I’m trying.” I sigh. “Anyway, I’ll talk to you later. There’s something I need to do.”Hanging up, I head out of the room and then into the living room, where Kate and Landon sit watching cartoons. Or rather, Landon watches cartoons while Kate stakes out my room like a hawk.“Diego!” She chirps, jumping up and knocking Landon to the floor. When he hits his face fir

[Rosalie’s POV]When the jet lands, I grab Geo and begin to move, but the minute the door opens, I find Gil standing in the way of my exit.“What is this?” He demands, glaring into the jet at Francine, who cowers behind me. “Rosalie?”“I’ll explain later.” I say quietly. “But not here.”Although I knew Gil trusted Francine, I couldn’t bring myself to discuss my abilities and what I was capable of around her. To this day, Gil was the only one who knew about me.For a moment, he doesn’t move as he examines me, clearly searching for some type of hint toward what is wrong, but when he doesn’t find it, he nods.“Alright,” he sighs, kneeling down and opening his arms. “Let me help you by taking this little stinker.”As he speaks, he picks up Geo, who isn’t the least bit happy about what he has been called, and cradles him against his chest.“Come on.” He says, motioning me forward. “We will talk along the way.”Nodding, I peek behind me to find Francine glaring, but she doesn’t speak.
