Alejandro left and I knew he had heard . our conversation … But how much of it ? Did he hear the partwhere I asked Aunty Indy if he knew …. I expected him to be honest … It was high time I tried to do mypart too … My stomach twisted , knowing deep down a time would come when I’d have to tell himabout Rayhan … I looked down , sighing deeply .

” El … ” Aunty whispered . ” I don’t know what to say Indy … I can’t believe I had to hear that from himand not you . I’m your brother ; heck , that’s what I’m there for ! You should have told me . ” ” I didn’twant you to get mad at him or make him leave . ” She whispered , breaking into tears . Dad pulled herinto his arms , I could see the pain and sadness on his face . He was always there for us …

” After what Jessica’s been through , and you girls as well , why would you settle for this Indy ? Thegoddess did not create mates to hurt one another . ” He whispered , caressing her hair .

” I know , but the bond is strong , I always hoped he’d come around . I know he will ! ” She said ,looking up at Dad . Dad simply shook his head and held her tight , I suddenly felt emotional as Iwatched him comfort her . He was always watching out for us , always there … Yet we just hid stufffrom him .

Dad was a father and a brother who loved us unconditionally . I felt guilty for always complaining abouthow suffocated I felt … He only cared for us … But only lately did that seem to be clear and afterAuntie’s revelation , I was sure stuff like this were his reasons . ” It’s been years since you’ve met …Things should not have been like this , Indy .

No one deserves to stay in a situation like that . Be strong and perhaps the Goddess has other plansbut Indy …. This isn’t right . I don’t care what you decide or what Alejandro decides , but I’m taking youhome with me . ” Dads words were final .

” No please he’ll- ” ” Get mad ? I don’t really think he has that ” Dad said coldly and I right anymore . ”knew he was pissed . ” Elijah , please . It’s not that bad ! ” ‘ Aunty had broken bones and countlessbruises . The night I lost control was because he came home smelling of sex . ‘ I said to Dad throughthe link . Yes , it wasn’t my place to say , but I couldn’t just keep it secret since the truth was out .

More so , I knew Dad could help her like I couldn’t . Dad frowned deeply but didn’t reply . ” I’m going togo pack . ” I said before I took my leave … An hour had passed and I was done with m y packing . Ihad still managed to bake some more brownies . I don’t know why I did it . Well , I guess I could tellmyself that they were just some treats for the journey ?

Although I knew exactly why I had made these … My heart skipped a beat at the thought of him as Ipacked a bag of snacks for the ride too Serena had told me we would be going by car for the most part. I had an ominous feeling about that forest , like a dark and unsettling weight , resting in the pit of mystomach every time I thought of it .

Things had been tense when Mom found out about Indigo , and while she was calmer than when shefound out about me and Alejandro , she was still enraged and completely agreed with Dad’s decision totake Aunty back with them . She had been getting worked up and I had been worried , so I had mindlinked Mom and Dad , telling them that Aunty was pregnant .

I didn’t tell them about why she miscarried the last few times as I hoped Aunty told them that herself ,but I did want them to know she was pregnant and didn’t need any extra stress so they had to deal withher patiently . I was glad she was going to go back to the Blood Moon pack . A t least she’ll be safethere . ” Alejandro’s outside . ” Darien said , popping his head into the room with a huge grin on his face. ” You seem happy to have him gone . ” I said , amused .

” No , I’m happy that you two are going to work things out . ” He said with such confidence that I raisedmy brow . ” Aren’t you very confident considering you were silent last night ? ” I said sceptically . ” Ihave to listen to and respect my Alpha , I have faith in him .

” He said , with a small smile . ” Thank you , for giving him a chance . ” ” Yeah … well … let’s see . ” Isaid . I haven’t done anything yet … but I hoped we could work things out . I met Mom and Dad ,Rayhan and his family as someone took my bags to the car . I walked outside to see Alejandro talkingto a few men . My gaze roamned his broad back , the way his shirt fitted him , his tattooed arms , hisass … Was it wrong that I wanted to kiss every inch of him ?

I bit my lip , my core throbbing at just how hot he was .. Ok , focus . We were not going to go down thatpath until things were fixed … I turned away , just in time as he glanced over at me .

That cold , arrogant expression on his face , as he blew out the smoke from his cigarette . His eyesglinting as he looked at me , almost as if he knew I was checking him out . ” Before we leave , there’sone stop we need to make . ” He said , coming over as he looked down at me . ” Where to ? ” ” Thecells . ” He said , his face was now serious . I could sense his displeasure .

He didn’t want to do this … I nodded and he led the way as I followed . I wanted to know what h e didwith Fred but I didn’t speak . I intended to ask but not right now . We reached the cells , the smell ofmetal , blood and something else filled my nose . I t was dark in here . My breath hitched when I felt hisstrong hand take mine . My heart was racing as I slowly closed my fingers around his , allowing him tolead me .

His hand was so much larger than my slender one … His calloused finger pads grazed my soft skin . Itried to calm the storm that was rising within me . This simple yet thoughtful move … This was all I hadwanted … His love , his concern and care . Exactly what he was showing me now . Why couldn’t wehave just had this before we both acted on impulse and rash decisions ? Well , I guess it was too lateto regret it .

As we got deeper into the cells it got chillier , and I couldn’t even tell if it was light outside . The colddamp seemed to cling to my skin and the feeling that this place never got fresh air wrapped around me. The sound of a weak unearthly growl greeted my ears and my heart thudded . ” It’s the Wendigo . Doyou think you’d be able to see if in any way you could get anything from it ? ” ” I can try . ” I said . ”Good .

” He said . He let go of my hand and I missed the feeling of his touch . The scraping of the chains andpadlock was all I could hear before the door was swung open , grating against the ground . Once again, his hand wrapped around mine , sending sparks of pleasure through me . ” I should have brought afucking light ,

I left my phone too . ” I smiled . ” I’m fine , it’s tied right ? I just need to touch it . ” I said , feeling itsweak heart beating . It was dying but there was no smell of blood . Was it poisoned ? ” It’s tied and I’mright here . ” Came his deep voice .

” Are you poisoning it ? ” ” No , it’s fucking tied , which will do the damn job . ” He said . ” It’s dying . ” Isaid , my heart skipping a beat as he touched the small of my back , guiding me closer . The thinggrowled , the sound of chains echoed in the cell as it struggled to break free . A futile attempt .

” Not sure why , maybe starvation ? ” He said thoughtfully . I could sense the beast stir restlessly andAlejandro’s closeness . I placed my hand o In the Wendigo , the matted fur making me internally cringe. Pain . Agony . Despair .

I gasped at the burning emotions that rushed through me , tears sprung to my eyes at the emotionsthat came from this very beast . The urge to ease its pain overcame me and I saw the faint purple inthe darkness .

All I wanted was to help . Before me , I didn’t think it was a monster . To me it felt like something in pureagony , a being that needed respite . ” What the fuck … ” Alejandro’s words came . I don’t know what it

was , in this darkness I couldn’t see anything .

Then a sudden realisation hit me . I was no longer touching fur but skin . I jerked my hand back . ” You… You’ve reversed whatever process he had gone through … ” Alejandro murmured , sounding almostin awe . My heart thudded as I could now smell that distinct smell that only rogue wolves carried . ” Wellfuck . ” Alejandro’s voice came .
