CHAPTER 72
It felt like the world stopped spinning and the only thing moving around at this point was the subtle flicker of the flame behind the witch.
She asked me to give up my wolf.
“You’re not seriously thinking about this, are you?”
Aiden can finally be mine
“Your obsession is driving you to give me up, don’t you see how much of a problem this has become? You’re acting like a psycho and Aiden will never want to be with a wolfless girl’
I’m so sorry
“Deal.” I said and Triana growled in the back of my head- so loud that I closed my eyes and bit together to get through the pain.
“Come with me.” She said and walked into the adjoining room. I walked with heavy steps, and the only Aidens face. His glorious body and his arms wrap around me as he chooses me.
ly thing I saw in front of me was
He’ll be mine. He will finally be mine.
“Lay down.” She said and pointed to a wooden table.
1 got up and laid down on my back with my hand on my stomach.
‘Don’t do this. You’ll regret it!”
The witch grabbed my hands and placed them at my sides.
‘Sam, you can’t do this. You’re not really about to do this, are you?”
I winced from the pain of the silver dagger cutting into my wrist,
My blood flowed out and trickled down into a metal bowl.
I felt the wolfsbane being pushed into the open wound and she placed a leather bond in-between my teeth for me to bite down on. The pain was unbearable and my body began to spasm.
I felt her fingers digging around in the wound and other herbs being added to my blood. The sweat ran down my face and the last thing I heard was my blood dropping down and hitting the metal.
‘Fine. You’ve made your choice’
My wolf said and backed away. Everything went dark and my head fell to the side.
“It’s time to wake up,” I flew up and saw that I was sitting on the chair in the den. My hair was all greasy from the sweat and my wrist was wrapped in a bandage.
“What happened? Did you do it?” I asked and grabbed my wrist.
“I did.” I unv
unwrapped it and saw the open wound. There was black sot mixed in with the fresh blood and I furrowed my brows.

“Why isn’t healing?” I asked her.
The witch placed down another candle and sighed.
“Healing is a werewolf’s ability. Something you no longer are privy to,”
Triana? Hey, are you there?
“She’s gone,” I breathed and felt like a piece of my heart was gone with it.
“She is and the hex is done. So our business here seems to be over. You should leave before they find out that you’re gone.”
I walked out to my car on shaky legs.
“What- I never got your name,” I said as I opened up the car door
“My name is Liliana. It was nice doing business with you.”

unsettling feeling was growing inside of me but I knew now that I would get Aiden.
I was so close now, everything was falling into place and all 1 had lost
would be worth it when he finally choos
– Aiden’s POV-
1 woke up feeling dizzy. As though someone had taken the sun and placed it in my room- the second I opened my eyes I was blinded.
“What the f*ck.” I groaned and turned in the bed, pressing my face into the pillow.
I tried opening one eye and squinted when the light bruht my retina. Shit, what the hell was going on?
The window was open and I heard the grunting and whipping sounds of hits slamming against a surface out in the yard. I clenched my jaw and shot my eyes open- after a while, they adjusted to the light only to find that the lamp wasn’t even lit. The sun wasn’t too bright outside and the rays barely reached my window.
The room looked the same with the darkness casting shadows in the corners. What was that light I had seen and why did it hurt so bad?
I walked downstairs and into the dining hall. Sam was sitting at our table next to Edmund wearing his shirt.
“Good morning,” she said sweetly and pulled out the chair next to her. My stomach turned and I suddenly lost my appetite.
I growled and walked into the kitchen to have my breakfast there.
The chef fixed me a plate with eggs, bacon, and sausages and 1 inhaled the food and pressed my hands against the counter. Something was wrong, my body felt weak and my mind was a blur. My thoughts wouldn’t stay and instead, they jumbled together a
r and
created a mess.
I pressed my nails into my palm as hard as I could and 1 barely felt a sting.
“Edmund. Outside, now.” I said and walked past him and the others
The warriors were training and Edmund came jogging up beside me
“What’s up with you?” He asked and looked at me with a hint of worry.
“I just wanna try something out.” I grunted and furrowed my brows. I had to get my shit together. I needed to try this and see. I was

begging the moon goddess that I was wrong.
I turned around and faced Edmund.
“Hit me.” I said and held my arms at my side.
“You want me to hit you? Your mom said we’re not allowed to fight anymore,” I hung my head and looked up at him dumbfounded.
“Are you serious right now? Just f*cking hit me!” Edmund growled and charged.
I watched him, his legs moving, his fists loading up and his eyes piercing mine.
He raised his hand and I grabbed it and at the same time, my fear was confirmed. Edmund’s other hand came up from in between us and the uppercut caused my head to fall back.
I staggered back and spat on the ground. This was bad, holy f*ck…
“Are you okay?” He asked with genuine concern in his voice. Edmund felt it- 1 was getting weaker.
“We have to attack Asher’s pack. Now.” I said and stormed back into the house.
“Ey. Nick!” He came out of the dining room and met me in the hallway.
“Gather your warriors, we’re leaving today.”
“The warriors aren’t ready, they haven’t been briefed on the situation.” I stepped up close to him.
“So brief them.” I growled.
Nick bowed h
his head and looked up with hooded eyes.
It was time, we h

had to leave. Noah stepped down the stairs and the second our eyes met I saw something weird flash in them.
This whole house was turning into the chaos that my mind was making up. Gabby was out there and the thought of anybody hurting her was more than I could bare to think about but I couldn’t stop. She was constantly occupying my mind. Her face and her eyes- those eyes could see your deepest secrets and defy every f*cking order ever given. She was fearless and elegant. A perfectly made Luna. But everyone had something they feared and hers was living under the same f*cking roof.
“Whoa are you okay?” Noah said as I fell forward and grabbed the mailing on the stairs. Pictures of Gabby smiling and laughing lashed before my eyes. I heard the peel of laughter that fell from her whenever someone told a bad joke or she was playing with the pups. Her eyes glistened under the sun and her body curled up under a blanket.
“I’m fine.” I grunted.
I turned around with a dizzy head. The walls were moving in waves and Edmund and Noah stood straight and watched me with worry.
“Aiden?” My mother came walking down the stairs. Her eyes began to glow and she growled.
“Sebastian, go get the witch.” She ordered one of the warriors.
He bowed his head and took off.
“What’s happening to him?” Edmund asked.
“Nothing, I’m fine. Let’s go!” I growled and walked to the door. Someone’s hand grabbed a hold of my shoulder and I stopped. My wolf

will only result in your death and Asher getting what he wants. Gabby’s life will be in more
“Her life is plenty in danger and it won’t get any better with us waiting around here.” I seethed and removed his hand from my
shoulder.
His eyes started glowing and he lowered his head.
