"Tell me, what did you pick up from Athena?" Mera asked, breaking the silence that I knew wouldn't last long. There were too many questions on our end, and both Isaiah and Mera could feel our rising curiosity.
We were in the dark colored SUV now, humming down the road we had once stood on as we neared Isaiah and Mera's pack. The faint scent of cherries and tobacco wafted from the front of the vehicle, where two dark clothed guards sat.
It was a bit of an awkward fit, with Tori sitting next to Mera and Isaiah, but I refused to let her take another vehicle. I was no stranger to how it feels when you lose both a mate and a best friend. It was something I wasn't willing to risk again, even if we were headed to safety. Tori didn't seem to mind, and actually liked Mera as much as I.
My mind strayed to what Mera had asked of me. It was difficult, giving a loose interpretation of a person based on just a few seconds of information. At times, someone's emotions were a di

Both Tori and I obliged, clearly wanting to hear more of what she might say. "Things come to her at random, but do not press her too hard. Simple, straightforward questions. She becomes overwhelmed easily, and it takes hours to calm her down." Mera frowned, gazing ahead to where Sabine tiptoed into the kitchen, her movements smooth and silent. "Just as well, do not say Novak seniors name. It triggers something in her, a vision--or perhaps a memory. All I know, is it is horrible enough to cause her to harm herself. So, speaking his name around her is forbidden." "You're alright with us asking her some questions?" I asked, just a tad surprised, even with the boundaries she had set in place. I could feel how much Mera loved her sister, how devoted she was to seeing to her every whim. Sabine had been through so much in those ten years, most of which I'm sure she couldn't talk about, and Mera was determined to make up for every second of it. It was why she let Sab

The plan since arriving in Mera and Isaiah’s pack had been to get the four of us back home safely in time for the inevitable war, which could easily happen at any second.Now that not one, but three deadly werewolves were coming for me, we had a time limit to our plans.Three days, we would have to leave in two.That meant not onlycoming up withan evacuation plan, but Mera and Isaiah had to make plans of their own.

Just as Sabine had said; the Assassin and Hound had finally come, and Chaos followed."Are you going to come with us willingly, Aurora?" The Assassin spoke first, her voice a delicate falsetto. "Your little magic won't work on me, but I'd love to see you try."Something at the very pit of my stomach told me not to use my abilities on her. I didn’t have those punch you in the gut feelings very often, but this was one I couldn’t ignore.The way she sang my name sent a shiver down my spine, which I suppressed with gritted teeth. She plucked a knife from one of the straps around her leg and held it in her hand. Her glossy auburn hair was tightly pulled back, wrapped in a braid at the base of her neck.She only reminded me of the blade I had as well, given to me by Isaiah before he had left with Mera. It was a kind gesture considering I barely had a clue on how to use the thing. Either way, if the Assassin got her hands on me, this blade could quic

"Really, there's no reason to be this difficult." Marcus sighed, genuinedisappointmentin his flat, blue eyes. "You've lost, Aurora. This scheme of yours to invent a new world has failed, you have failed.What'sbest for you and your mates, is to pick up the shattered pieces of your failure and turn them into something better.""And you--you'rewhat'sbetter?" I croaked, rage and malice searing the edges of my words. My head throbbed from the Assassin's magic, forcing dark spots to creep at the edges of my vision. "All of that power has given you a big head, Marcus. Wehaven'tlost anything. I'm one person, there are countless more out there who will see you removed."

As soon as the words left my lips, she dug her fingers into my arm, the icy claws of her magic latching onto me instantly. Cold flooded my senses, burning and aching as it sapped what little strength I had. "Ariana, do I need to inform you that you are violating a direct order?" Zayne drawled in a bored, yet professional tone. His piercing blue eyes bore holes into her face, but conveyed not an ounce of concern for my well-being. Part of me was terrified that this wasn't just good acting, that the indifference in his eyes was placed there, built from years of practice. After a few long seconds, Ariana released me. I had just a few seconds to wonder if her abilities affected all white wolves the same way, before my legs gave out and I fell to the floor. My head was swimming, a steady drum beat as it throbbed miserably. "Don't play boss, Zayne. It certainly doesn't suit you." Ariana snickered, sending me a dark look that made me bite back a wick

I stared at them for what felt like hours, even though all we had were seconds together.Onyx eyes filled with worry, voices thick and raspy with emotion. Neither looked sickly or sleep deprived. If anything, they looked...bigger? There wasn't the time to sit and analyze what had changed but I swore their muscles seemed more defined, hardened like the blood thirsty determination in their eyes.Once I was positive I wasn't hallucinating from the disgusting cake Zayne had given me, my eyes flitted across the small room.Tori and Zayne stood against the wall, a quiet and rushed conversation between the two. Zayne's eyebrows were gnashed together, and the sight of some kind of emotion on his face made my chest flutter.Those three seconds were all the twins could give me before I was pulled from the bed and into two sets of arms. Neither one squeezed too hard, but held me to their chests in an iron clad grip that no white wolf could break.Three heartb

“It is within all of your best interests to stand down.” Jaspar Fox’s voice rang throughout the crowd, strong and very much alive. The wolves he had brought with him twitched their tails in irritation, we were evenly matched now. I could see shimmering eyes deep within the forest, watching and waiting from the outside. “Defy your Alpha and take your own life into your hands, because soon Marcus Novak will be dead.”Jaspar looked towards me and somehow, I was able to decipher the words within his pale colored eyes. He was asking me a question, a simple yes or no. It took only a few seconds, reaching out with my magic before I had the answer.Disappointment and acceptance flashed in his eyes as I shook my head ‘no’.Many of the warriors here were loyal to Marcus, and radiated waves of hostility as they barely managed to keep themselves still. I could feel that so many of them were desperate for a way out, but the fear that

Kade’s rage became him, heating his blood until it boiled as it pumped throughout his form. The violent emotion overtook him completely, giving his increased strength a savage edge. Alec’s head was a different story, the same book but in another format. He could see and breathe through his rage, using it to propel not himself, but his thoughts forward. Strategies and plans flitted through his head, disorienting and at rapid-fire. Many of them looked like football plays, marking where Ariana, the Hound, and the two guards stood. I tried not to give into the sinking feeling that overtook me, when even Alec couldn’t produce a plan of action. We were outnumbered, exceptionally considering I couldn’t use my magic while Ariana was in the room, and my combat training was strictly lodged in the beginner stage. Still, I hadn’t come this far by giving up. Through pain and blood, I’d give everything I had. With my mates at my side, both identical and different in every
