and go with them. They wanted to have their way with me, but I fought. I was poisoned randomly and weakened. That’s when I gave my control to my wolf. She explained.

“Your wolf talks to you?” Kaide muttered, his eyes blown wide in shock.

“You wolf did more than protect you, Elise.” Taz cut in. “It was a literal bloody massacre,” “Taz said.

“What?” Elise answered, shocked.

“And Rygan also told us about your first encounter with rogues and how they were left wounded,” Kaide cut in. “He didn’t tell you because he did not want you to be scared, but I believe your wolf’s strength is something we haven’t seen in centuries,”

Elise had no idea how to even answer this: “It could be from her true origins; her father was angry that she wasn’t a true silver night wolf or his blood; maybe there is more to her lineage we need to find out, but you need to tell us more,” Rygan

Elise tried to close her eyes and recall what happened after she give control to her feral side, but her clouded, dark memories filled her mind: “I can’t.”

“I can remember the pain from being shot at and two males who tried to take me.” She said she was unsure.

“The beta assassins that were probably sent by Kyren or acted for themselves. I have no ideas yet, but we can’t put possible blame on them and bring them to trial without evidence, especially since they didn’t attack you in black moon territory,”

“Phase? You fucked hert She even stayed in your room all day after that; the whole town will see me as a joke, saying I cannot even protect my mate from the same woman who wanted to harm me even after I forgave her.” She screeched, “And I will make sure she pays for that! I’m sure she only did this because she wanted attention.

“Get the hell out of this room this instant,” he called to Alvira, who stood up, her face red with embarrassment as she took one last look at Elise.

“This isn’t over,” she called, slamming the door. And leaving four of them in the room.

“You both, leave* He ordered his two betas to leave immediately, Elise saw this as her cue to leave and hit the door, and she was hit in the face by a very sorry–looking Tazmin.

She then heard the chair shift as Rygan came behind her; she could practically feel the heat from his body as his hands held both doors, trapping her in between them when she tried to open them, as he whispered to her ears. “We need to talk.”

And she knew there was no escaping him.
