Jonah’s Point Of View

I was still in shock. Angie had descended into madness so quickly. Had she always been that deranged? Making her mate Brink a part of her scheme to marry me? Kidnapping Star? Trying to kill Star?

Her mother had been in on it. Her mother had also stolen Star’s inheritance. I would leave my father to deal with Mrs Plastique as he saw fit. A part of me felt guilty for killing Angie but she had been out of control. It was her or Star. Star had always doubted my love for her. I hoped she understood now. There was nothing I wouldn’t do for her, to protect her.

We got out of the car where Angie’s lifeless body lay in the backseat. I didn’t want to stay there. We were both bleeding from the altercation with Angie and her mother. We had both been stabbed. Angie had stabbed me when trying to stab Star, and Mrs Plastique had actually stabbed Star prior to that. Perhaps, I should deal with Mrs Plastique right now. I felt ashamed. I had let things get out of hand. I had been daft and reckless with Star’s safety in more ways than one.

Jonah!!! Are you at the Plastique house?! Are you with Star?! Said Harper in my mind.

Yes, we’re out front! I responded over mind-link.

“Do you think my aunt might have woken up by now?” Asked Star, looking at the mansion warily.

Harper, Zaya, Eli, Holly, Jamie, Jessie and Fox came hurtling out of the mansion.

“Harper!” Exclaimed Star.

He grinned at her in relief and ran to her, scooping her up in a hug, lifting her off her feet.

“You’re bleeding!” He said. “Who did this?” He snarled.

“Mrs Plastique,” said Star.

Harper growled, turning to go back into the house. Holly and Star held his arms.

“No, please! The curse!” Said Star.

“Please listen to her highness, my Lord, enough bloodshed for one day,” said Holly.

“No one’s b***d was actually shed except Star!” Snapped Harper.

Holly winced at his harsh tone. His expression softened. He pulled her to him.

“That’s not directed at you, Baby,” he said softly. “You’ve been wonderful.”

He kissed her gently and they wrapped their arms around each other. Zaya and Eli were holding a shaken Star.

“Where’s Angie?” Asked Zaya, narrowing his eyes at me. “Isn’t she the one responsible for this whole vendetta?”

“I…killed her,” I whispered. It felt strange to say. I wasn’t accustomed to killing like other alphas. Those triplets we had met for example killed enemies at the drop of a hat, at breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was amazing how they were all scared to displease their tiny Luna. She had no kills under her belt as far as I knew.

I had known Angie a while. She had never been a good person to be honest and I knew that but I never thought her capable of something like this. I felt like an i***t.

“And Brink is dead too,” said Harper. “I took care of him.”

Wow. Harper killed his best friend? Well, his ex-best-friend.

“I knew you didn’t write those texts,” murmured Eli, nuzzling Star. “I knew it, Princess.”

“Baby, I’m so sorry we let you out of our sight even for a second,” said Zaya, smoothing Star’s tousled hair.

“Dad!” Exclaimed Harper.

I looked around to see Heath, Star’s Dad, and Asriel coming towards us. I looked at Zaya quizzically.

Harper called their Dad and Asriel brought him here when she went missing. We split up though when we were searching the house.

Heath broke into a run and grabbed his daughter and his son when he reached them.

“Dad,” said Star, her voice muffled as her face was against his chest.

“You’re hurt,” said her Dad, looking at her bleeding shoulder. “Who did this?” He growled.

“Mrs Plastique,” said Harper promptly.

Heath snarled. “That b***h. That whole family belongs six feet under,” said Heath.

“Where is she?” Asked Heath.

“Mrs Plastique, she’s knocked out inside. I kinda threw her off of me,” said Star.

“Ok, I know this has been an emotional and even traumatic day,” announced Jessie. “But we should reunite the bodies now before anything else goes wrong,” he implored us.

He was right.

“I’ll ask Dad to get Mrs Plastique into custody,” I assured everyone.

“No!” Growled Zaya. “And then she’ll escape and it’ll be Angie Part two! She’ll be after us to avenge her daughter and her daughter’s mate. I don’t need a vengeful Mom after me and my mate. Let’s tie her up and bring her with us until Dad’s pack warriors can come arrest her!”

I sighed. I was tired arguing with my younger brothers.

“Fine,” I said.

We walked back into the Plastique mansion which now had a disturbing air to it. What other horrible things had the Plastique family done that we didn’t even know about? Star was a bit jumpy but Eli and Zaya held her. She walked between them, leading us to the hallway where she had fought Mrs Plastique. There was b***d on the floor.

“This is my b***d from when she stabbed my shoulder and then I used my powers. My Fae powers, I think, Dad,” said Star, looking up at her Dad.

He smiled.

Harper grinned at her.

“And then…” began Star. She paused, her smile slipping off of her face. She frowned. “Where…she was right there!” Exclaimed Star.

The hallway was empty.

“I sent her flying across the hallway,” said Star.

Star ran across the hallway.

“She hit the wall,” said Star.

Star slapped her palm against the wall.

“She slid down and slumped over, unconscious, right here,” said Star, stooping down where Mrs Plastique should have been.

Alpha Jessie sighed.

“And then she regained consciousness when you were outside and walked away,” he said, his tone apologetic.

“Don’t worry too much yet. At least we know now that we should be on high alert where she’s concerned,” said Jamie reassuringly. “No more detours ok.”

Star nodded fervently.

“It’s my fault she ran from the ICU. She found out I had proposed to Angie,” I said.

Zaya and Eli glared at me, still angry about that.

“WHAT?” Said Heath.

“No one told me that,” he roared, looking at Harper.

“Sorry, Dad, it slipped my mind. I was so focused on finding Star. I didn’t really care if he actually married Angie. I just wanted to find Star safe and sound,” said Harper.

“I only did it to protect Star from the curse,” I said, pleading with Heath, hoping he would believe me.

Heath sighed. He and Asriel and Harper had all finally been brought up to speed about the curse. Star had told her twin before she left and Harper had been forced to tell their Dad when she went missing although he had promised Star he wouldn’t. I was relieved in a way honestly. No more secrets.

“It doesn’t matter now! I killed Angie for trying to kill Star,” I said.

Heath took a deep breath. He was still pissed but he wasn’t unreasonable. He couldn’t accuse me of wanting to have my cake and eat it too if I had literally gotten rid of the other person involved. I wanted it all over with.

“Before Angie died, she tricked me and Noah into signing marriage papers by having Brink block us mentally. We thought we were signing a Get Well Soon Card for Chet,” I confessed.

“So you and Noah were married to Angie?” Asked Eli.

“No, just me,” I said. “Noah signed as a witness according to what Angie revealed to us.”

“So where is Noah?” Asked Zaya.

I sighed. Noah had gone to look for Star but he was taking so long to get in contact with any of us again. Star had been found.

“He had gone off to look for Star! I was having trouble mind-linking him right after he left. That was probably because of Brink?” I asked.

Harper nodded gravely.

NOAH!!! I called loudly over mind-link projecting my call as far and wide as I could.

I was worried about Noah now.

Jonah? Came Noah’s voice.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Noah, where are you?! I asked.

I thought Georgianna might have taken Star because we took so long to give her Alto so I went to her old coven house to look there! He explained.

I was shocked.

Why didn’t you tell us that?! We would have gone with you! I said, annoyed.

I knew you’d try to stop me from appeasing Georgianna. Georgianna said she did take Star! She admitted to it! Said Noah.

I was looking right at Star. This was definitely the real Star!

NO! NOAH, LISTEN! SHE’S LYING! STAR IS HERE! SHE’S WITH ME. SHE’S FINE NOW! I said sternly, practically yelling over mind-link.

You’re lying to get me to change my mind. Georgianna says she will exchange. Me for Star. You, Zaya and Eli need to come here to be ready to take Star home ok after the exchange. I know you won’t agree but it’s not fair for Jessie to be the one and I can’t let her have Star! It’s the only way! I have to do this for Star! I met her first! And I mishandled everything! I love her so much! I want her to have a good life! Noah said.

My body froze over with cold dread.

NOAH! GEORGIANNA IS LYING! DON’T GO WITH HER! STAR IS HERE! AND WE’RE COMING RIGHT NOW TO EXCHANGE ALTO’S BODY FOR THE CURSE BEING BROKEN AS DISCUSSED! I bellowed over mind-link.

Had everyone gone insane today?

“We have to go now,” I announced to everyone. “Noah is trying to give himself to Georgianna, thinking she has Star!”

She’s here, said Noah and then the mind-link became fuzzy.

“TELL HIM I’M RIGHT HERE!” Cried Star. “I can’t seem to reach him!” She sobbed.

“I DID!” I said. “He’s just confused. He thinks I’m lying but Georgianna is deceiving him. We have to go NOW!”

“Jamie!” I said.

“Fox and I will teleport you straight there!” Said Jamie.

I nodded eagerly. Noah, please be ok, I thought to myself, trying and failing to reach him over mind-link still, while Fox held my hand and Star’s, ready to teleport with us. I closed my eyes as I felt the familiar lurch of my stomach.
