I heard my phone ring the moment I was about to put my boot on. It was Denise. She nagged at first when I picked. She asked me why I didn't answer my phone and why I didn't call her back. I told her the reasons. She calmed down and told me about her college but I wasn't ready for that. I had a mission to go to but I needed to listen to my friend. She told me that New York was okay and she visited the shadow world alone. She told me it was in good hands and Corner was back. I was surprised. I mean, he didn't call me to tell me he was back in the shadow world. I told Denise about my adventures too and how close I was to making Chase remember me again. She sounded happy and confused at the same time over the phone. I sighed. "You can sound now, I will get him back. I have to." I said to her and she gave in to me. I always win arguments.Denise cut the call. She said she had homework to finish and just wanted to hear my voice after we spoke for almost an hour. Ava takes along to have her

I took a light and pointed it to the darkness. I showed Theo where the wolf had attacked me. He was still shocked by the wolf story because there wasn't any bite or evidence to prove I was beaten. I have healed already. He searched everywhere to see any evidence. He placed his hands on his hips. "If you are right then, it knows how to cover its tracks. It is very smart." Theo said. We were about to set out to the cave when Ethan's voice got to us. "What is this? It looked like an animal's footprint." We all went to look at what Ethan was telling us. Theo bent down and used his hand to trace it. "Antelope." He said. "Yes. They ran towards me that night." I said and Ethan continued to flashlight at the ground. "This is interesting." He finally said. "What is?" Riley asked. Ethan made a motion with his hand, asking us to come and look at what he saw. "Wolf?" Theo asked. "I don't know but it looked different than the one we saw a minute ago," Ethan said and Theo nodded. Ethan was

I could see it too but I ignored it. I was in love with Chase and had always been. When a Dhampir finds her mate, she turns blind eyes to the other ones. I agreed for Theo to come along with us. He would be of good use.We got to Ava's house. It was very pretty. She found the keys on the top of the mailbox and invited us in. Ava and I needed to go to the market to get some things for the party. Theo and I had a little conversation earlier. He'd told me that since no one would be able to see him at the party, then it would be a good thing if he stayed. He would keep his eyes on Jackson and check if he was up to something. I agreed with him. He and his siblings were the only ones who could do this job and I never thought Theo would trust me too. I mean, he hated me when we first met. He had promised to kill me himself if I messed things up and did not follow his rules but now, he was nice to me which I still found awkward. Riley had offered to prepare the paste for the chips. While

"We have confirmed he isn't human. I will run a background check on him in the community." Fear creeping into me and through my mind. The battle with King Cain wasn't as scary as this. I don't think I would be able to fight this time. The atmosphere was cruel and it was sending a strong vibe towards me. My stomach twisted in fear. I don't think I have ever been afraid like this before. "I am scared, Theo. I am scared of what is heading our way. I don't think I will be able to fight this time. I know I have become stronger, but these powers are too strong for me to handle. This is too heavy. You saw me earlier. I still can't control my powers when they meet blood. It looked as if they were enemies." "You have to fight," Theo said and looked at me. "You are the chosen one so you have to protect the people here from what is coming. We have to visit the council tomorrow." "You are coming too?" Theo didn't know I said a lot of words to hurt the council head and I didn't want him to know

"Do you see that?" Nick's bloodsucker friend sighed, talking while rounding a column to join his other friend in the dark. "Trust him to find a way to get in the middle of everything, without even knowing what it is.""We have to tell him now," he growled, sure of their mistake. "He'll be even worse if he finds out on his own.""Has he ever been better, in order to become worse?" Apparently content with that parting shot, has bloodsucker friend returned to the dance floor, her gown sweeping across the polished floor. She frequently made it clear that she believed there wasn't a way to handle Nick, but his refused to stop trying. The three of them had managed to stay together and survive this long—for almost a thousand years. There was no future for them without one another.He tried to signal to Nick, but only managed to catch his attention for a short second before Nick returned his eyes to the half-witch. His friend Aron wondered what the girl was saying to him; somehow he doubted
