CHAPTER 64.
The sun had set and me and Cassy
ssy had watched movies until our eyes were dry and we were forcing them open.
Cassy was sound asleep and I had passed out too.
Something started turning inside me. Lela woke up and started growling in the back of my head.
My eyes shot open as she sensed the danger. I turned my head and the door slowly slid into the room and exposed the person behind it. I rubbed my eyes and looked past the sleepy fog. Lela was baring her teeth and warned me.
“Sam?” I asked and removed the cover.
“You have about ten minutes to get up and get out.” She said. I got up and walked closer. I gasped when I saw the blackness around her eyes. Her lips were dried and chapped and her hair looked like a bird’s nest.
“What happened to you?” I asked her. She was staring me dead in the eye with the most bored expression on her face.
“Do
you think fighting against magic won’t leave a mark or two?” She asked in a monotone voice.
ished and flicked her tongue.
hat do you-” she sighed
“What
u wanna get out or not?” She frustratingly asked. Her lips turned up in a smirk and my brows hunched together.
Do you
“He’s waiting for you.” She said. The dreadful feeling that washed over me caused me to shiver and Lela was going nuts in the back of my mind. She tried to claw her way out and I could feel how badly she wanted to shift. The threat was clear.
Sam knew about Asher.
“I can’t leave,” I said and looked at the door.
been taken care of.” She said and stepped back. My eyes were looking around at the invisible wall and I placed my hand against it. It went right through. The wall was down.
My heart was beating out of my chest and I looked back at Cassy, wanting to just go back to bed but I knew what I was risking by turning around. She just got back and I felt like things were falling into place but then now, I could stop everything. I could save their lives and spare them from any further pain.
Nobody would have to die.
“Don’t do this’
You know I have to. We can keep them safe
“We can keep them safe by fighting with them’
I took one step out and then my body followed. I was outside in the hallway with Sam and saw how much her appearance had changed. She looked like she was dying and under different circumstances, I wouldn’t have butted an eyelash but now, I was wondering what she had done to become this way.
“Go on little one, your new life awaits.” She cooed.
Her cheeks were flaming red with pale patches and black rings around her eyes.
Her eyes were dull and lifeless and her shoulders were hunched. She reminded me of a corpse only she was standing and breathing.

“You look horrible,” she scowled and a low growl sounded from her I turned and left before she said anything.

POV-
I woke up to the sun streaming in and groaned. My hand reached out and patted the side of the bed but when I looked she wasn’t there. I missed sleeping with Gabby. The plan was to go back to her room last night but then Cassy felt better and we decided they should have some alone time.
But f*ck I missed her.
“HELP!” My eyes darted towards the door. Cassy’s screamed and her voice filled the entire house. I jumped up and ran out in my sweatpants and halted to a stop outside the room,
Cassy was pulling her hair and looked around frantically.
“She’s gone! She’s not here!”
“That’s impossible,” I said and searched the room.
The door to the b
bathroom was open and she wasn’t in there. There was no other f*cking room for her to be in.
“Where is she?”
Edmund asked harshly as he barged into the room.
“She’s gone! She must’ve left when I was asleep!” Cassy cried.
“I knew something was wrong, I knew it but she wouldn’t tell me!” Cassy sat down on the bed crying.
“F*ck!” I turned around and looked at Gabby’s brothers who had gathered in the room. My mother came in shortly after with her robe tightly tied around her.
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s Gabby, she’s gone. How could this happen?” I seethed and slammed my hand through the wall.
The strangest thing happened. With my arm stuck in the concrete, my head started spinning and I blinked several times to get a grip. Whereas my arm shouldn’t have been affected at all I felt the sting as I pulled it out and shakily flexed my fingers.
“Aiden, are you alright?”
“I’m fine,” I shook it off and pressed my nails into my palm.
Nick looked around the room, Noah was sitting next to
Cassy t
trying to calm her and Edmund was fuming.
“Where the f*ck could she have gone?”
“And why?”
“The phone,” I searched the room. Pillows flew left and right, I lifted the mattress and turned the table but it wasn’t there.
“It was the phone call. Whoever she was talking to, whoever we put the wall up to protect her from, that’s where she is.” I said through clenched teeth.
“I don’t think any of us need much time to realize who it is,” Noah said.
“But why would she go to him?” Cassy asked.

CHAPTER 64.
“BECAUSE SHE’S A F*CKING SAINT!” I growled. She was going on a suicide mission, giving herself over to him to make sure they wouldn’t come here.
I called for a meeting with the warriors. They were all gathered in the round room and I slammed open the doors as I entered. They straightened their backs, lifted their heads, and clapped their hands shut behind them.
“Has everyone been caught up?” I asked.
“Yes, Alpha,” they said in unison.
They all slowly lowered their heads and cast their eyes down at the floor.
I picked out ten of the warriors and they stepped forward.
“You will search for her, sniff her out, follow whatever r trace you find in however many directions it goes.” I growled.
“Alpha-” Cole said and stepped in between.
-I would like to go with them.” He said.
“No.” I didn’t trust him with her. I did it with Cassy because he was desperate.
All of my warriors stood still. Why the f*ck were they just standing?
“SEARCH
FOR HER AND I DON’T WANT YOU BACK UNTIL SHE IS FOUND!”
TV
My feet pressed heavily against the floors as I walked into the house. She was gone…again. And this time I didn’t know how the f*ck to get her back.
“Aiden.” My father stepped out of my office and I walked past him and into the kitchen.
I opened the fridge and ripped out some s steaks, chowing down on them like I hadn’t eaten in days.
“Son,” he said and placed a hand on my shoulder. I wiped my mouth and looked up at him.
“We will get her back.”
“If he has her, the only way to get her back will be to attack.” I said.
“Then we will attack.” He said
and look
at me with a hard gaze.
We wouldn’t attack though, I would. Alone. I would rip through them all, find her, and bring her home. This time I would put a wall up around the whole f*cking border.
We sat in the communal room and tried to wrap our heads around how the wall could’ve been taken down.
“Aiden, nobody can undo magic except for a witch,” my mother said and looked at me with a knowing gaze.
I sent out a mind Jink telling the warriors to bring the pack witch to the house. I had to see her and hopefully not have to kill her.
I was fuming, clenching my teeth, and trying to keep a clear head.
The doors opened, the windows slammed shut and she stepped into the communal room. I took a deep breath and held it as I turned around.

CHAPTER 64.
“What the hel! have you done?” I asked her.
“May I remind you that speaking without respect will be met as if you’re not speaking at all,” she said and removed her hood,
I stepped closer to her, my wolf rose and my claws extended.
My chest pushed out and my shoulders rolled back.
“Where is my girl?”
“She left, did she? Her brows furrowed and she actually looked confused.
“We all choose our paths you see. Your mate has made her choice.”
“How did she get out of the room? You put the wall up, nobody but you could’ve taken it down,” my mom said.
“I was the one who removed the wall. You are all aware of the way work. If a person pays the price I ask, I am in no position to refuse service.” I release my breath.
“Who?” I asked.
“Who else? She who asked me last for the paths of Asher King and Gabriella Santos to cross. She now asked for the magic spell to be
undone and so I did,”
“I’m gonna kill her. Sam just signed her death sentence. Cole, bring her to me.” I growled. The witch raised her hand and stopped. Cole in his tracks. Her palm rested on his chest and with a befuddled gage, he looked down at her wrinkled fingers. His brow rose as he
turned his head to me.
“Not so fast. There was
was one more thing she asked for. My eyes started glowing and I felt every wolf in this room rise to the surface.
“What did she ask?” Nick growled and stepped toward the witch.
“For reassurance. She tied her own life to Gabriellas. Whatever harm befalls Samantha will be redirected to you mate. Whether that be

“What price did she pay for all of this?” Cassy gasped.
