The blood that coated my stomach and hands was warm in comparison to the shadow's ice coated words. Maya recoiled at their price; her hackles raised as an earsplitting growl reverberated throughout my mind. Breyona was still crouched over Giovanni, her eyes burning madly as she watched the shadows pulse around my body.
They had asked the unthinkable, and Breyona had agreed bl

Alpha Asher mind-linked his Beta, and the two of us waited by Jessie's body until he showed. With Jessie's lifeless face lingering in my mind, Asher turned to face me.

With his arms wrapped around me, and the heat from his body warming my bones, I closed my eyes and thought of Tristan.It was harder than I expected, tapping into that sliver of myself, the part of me that longed for Tristan.

The first thing I did was try to mind-link Breyona. I was hit with a wall of darkness, of nothing. Even as I stumbled through the dark, I knew they had placed silver on some part of her body. Mind-linking her would be impossible until the silver was removed. Breyona had given her wolf-form to save Giovanni, but her wolf still resided within her, simply trapped in her human body.

Asher's POVThe moment I saw the note the Vampire's had left, I knew a plan would form in Lola's mind. I wanted to blame her, but I couldn't, as I would have done the same. I would have given myself up to save any member of my pack, but Lola was different. The selfish side of me wanted to whisk her away, damning Breyona and Giovanni's life in the process. Yet I couldn't, because Lo
