Creedon’s minions had left a mess in their wake. Carter was pacing in front of Jake’s place, his

fur threatening to sprout. I had never seen him so unhinged. My phone pinned and it was

Lana sending the group chat a selfie of her and Briar in a coffee shop. There was something

different about Brair. When Carter looked at his phone he stopped dead in his tracks. I

watched his fingers trace her features as Lana pingged again.

Lana: is it safe to come home

Carter: Keep her away from here

Lana: She wants to come home Carter, I can’t hold her hostage

Carter: Whatever you need to convince her she’s safer away from here

Lana: Didn’t they leave?

Mazzie: They found Jakes place Lana it’s not good

Lana: I’ll try to deter her, but she really wants to go home and I’m not going to force her to

stay you know I can’t she’s a badass

Mazzie: Do your best Lana, thats all we ask

Carter was looking at the picture again. He seemed to settle a bit, realizing she was ok.

“Are you ready to go inside?” I asked him, concerned for his mental state. The outside was bad

enough. He closed his eyes and nodded before walking past the carnage on the porch. His eyes

immediately glanced beside the door where ole Betty usually sat. It was missing. My eyes left

his and my heart sank. Claws had ripped open the cushions, the stuffing was everywhere, the

old TV smashed into the floor, Carter’s snarl brought me out of my shock. I could feel his

anger wash over me with his aura. I glanced to the kitchen where food and dishes were thrown

across the floor covered in broken glass and ceramic. The pictures had been ripped off the

walls as we made way down the hall, glass crunching beneath our boots. The smell hit me

before I even entered her room. Everything was upturned, clothes and blankets shredded along

with pillows. The sheets were thrown back on the bed and long slash marks cut into the

surface. I tensed, Carter was about to blow into a fury I didn’t think he was capable of. It was a

rage I understood as I turned to face him.

His face was a storm of rage, his features morphing somewhere between wolf and human, the

low growl the only warning he was sinking into his primal side.

“Carter? Let’s get you outside NOW!” I insisted. He didn’t acknowledge me, his eyes focused

on the bed.

“She’s ok,” I tried to soothe, grabbing my phone and bringing up the picture and forcing it

into his face. That got his attention, his eyes zeroing in on her face.

I prodded him to move gently, his features slightly morphing back to the man as I guided him

out the door. He was transfixed by the image of her and I thanked the goddess as he took the

phone from my hand. Unseeing, his attention devoured by the image of his mate. I pulled him

through the wreckage and out the door and past the carnage on the porch.

“We are going to make them pay for this,” I promised. His eyes met mine and his upper lip

twitched up in a snarl. His silver blue eyes looked over the phone to meet mine.

A chill went through me, and I realized nobody would be paying for this; they would simply

die a horrific death.

Lana and I were sitting at a table in the coffee shop I wish I could live in. It was quaint but

edgy, the staff was pleasant, and that atmosphere was dark and mysterious; totally my vibe.

foam. Maybe it wasn’t the place, but how I woke up more in line with what was to come, with

who I was. It was a far cry from the broken woman I had been 24 hours ago. It’s surprising

what can change in your mindset when your world gets turned upside down. A peace ran
