Lisa's POVAfter Anabella's escape, there was an overwhelming hush. As the rest of us gathered in the now-darkened room, Dominick walked frantically, his claws flexing and retracting. With a low snarl, he whispered, "She planned this." "She wanted us to be here, preoccupied." Marcus wiped blood off his blade and said, "She's running out of tricks." Her castle is uncovered, and her beast has vanished. It won't be long until we locate her. "How much does it cost?" Chelsea's tone was stern as she inquired. She's constantly ahead of the game. What if this goes beyond us? Dominick's eyes narrowed and he halted. "What are you saying?" Chelsea went on, "What if this is more than simply retaliation? We have no idea what it is that Anabella is constructing. I stepped forward and said, "She's consolidating power." "And she will continue to hit us where it hurts if we don't figure out her endgame." Dominick turned and looked at me intently. After that, we cease anticipating her next actio

Lisa's POVDominick's yell reverberated in my ears as the fall appeared to go on forever and the air rushed past me. My chest ached with panic, but I pushed it down, preparing for the impending blow. My body ached as I struck the ground, but I was still alive. Around me, the cavern was illuminated by the faint glimmer of odd, unsettling symbols. "Lisa!" I could sense the despair in Dominick's voice, despite its faintness. "I'm all right!" With my voice echoing off the walls, I yelled back. "I'm all right!" No one answered. When I realized he was no longer able to hear me, my heart fell. Dominick's POV Fury and terror swirled inside me as I gazed into the abyss, my claws sinking into the earth. "Marcus!" As he repelled a rogue, I turned to him and said. Before getting to my side, he slashed at his opponent and said, "What happened?" "She went down!" I lost my temper. "Lisa—she's down there!" "Anabella opened the ground!" Marcus's expression became serious. "We'll retrieve her

Lisa's POVThe tunnel shook so violently that my teeth rattled, and the sound of stone collapsing behind us got louder. "More quickly!" With a growl, Dominick firmly grasped my hand and dragged me forward. "I'm making an effort!" Leaping over a sharp rock that had fallen in our path, I snapped. Marcus trailed after, clearing falling stones with his sword, while Chelsea was in front, her wolf form slicing through the rubble. "We will fail to make it!" Marcus shouted, but his voice could hardly be heard above the commotion. "Yes, we will!" Dominick's growled, his eyes blazing. "Keep going!" The exit loomed ahead, a dim, almost inconceivably far gleam of light. "Don't stop!" Chelsea's voice was keen with desperation as she howled. Dominick's POV Rock fragments started to fall dangerously close as the walls started to crumble inward. As another boulder fell behind us, I shoved Lisa forward, protecting her. She said, "Dominick!" in a terrified tone. "I've got you!" Despite my gu

Lisa's POVThe air rushed by as I grabbed at the blackness, looking for anything, anything, to cling to, and the fall was vicious. The contact knocked the wind out of my lungs as I struck the ground, leaving me gasping in the almost complete darkness. "Lisa!" Dominick's voice, strained and frantic, sounded from someplace above me. "I'm present!" Wheezing, I forced myself to stand. "I'm all right!" I knew someone else had landed when I heard a loud thump close by. "Is everyone still alive?" Marcus's strong voice cut through the confusion. With her figure moving in the low light coming from gaps above us, Chelsea moaned, "I think so." "Dominick?" My pulse was racing when I phoned. He came up next to me and stated, "I'm here," in a very tight voice. "Are you in pain?" With my body hurting, I lied and said, "I'm fine." "How about you?" As he helped me get up, he said, "I'll live." Dominick's POV We had fallen into a smaller, colder, and in some ways more sinister cavern than th

Lisa's POVThe tall figure remained still, its bright eyes scanning us like a predator evaluating its victim. The air seemed heavy and stifling from the oppressive force it projected. "What is that?" Chelsea's voice was barely heard as she said. Marcus said, his blade quivering in his hand, "A mistake." As soon as the figure's eyes met mine, a rich, rich voice filled the room. "You've set me free." I took a tentative step back and said, "No." "This was not expected to occur." “Lisa,” Dominick snarled, stepping defensively in front of me. "Remain behind me." With a glimmer of laughter on its otherwise expressionless face, the creature cocked its head. "You don't even realize what you've let loose, do you?" Dominick's POV With my claws growing longer, I said, "I don't care who or what you are." "You're returning to whatever abyss you escaped." The apparition laughed, and the room echoed with the sound. "A mortal wolf's brave words." However, your strength pales in comparison to

Lisa's POV Echoing around the wrecked hall like a phantom taunt, the chilling laugh seemed to come from nowhere and everywhere at once. "Has anybody heard that?" Chelsea questioned, her eyes darting across the room as she hold her blade firmly. Dominick snarled, stretching his claws, "It's her." "She's not finished yet." Marcus mumbled, looking at the broken altar, "Obviously." However, where is she? And now, how can we stop her? "You can't," Anabella said in a mockingly silky voice. No one was there, yet we all twisted toward the sound. "Coward!" Dominick's voice echoed around the room as he yelled. "Exhibit yourself!" A whirling shadow materialized close to the remnants of the altar as Anabella's laughing became louder. Slowly, her shape appeared, her face as arrogant as ever. With a tone full of contempt, she said, "You've been so entertaining." However, the beast was never the focus of this. "So what is the matter here?" Despite Dominick's cautionary glance, I stepped fo

Lisa's POVAs we went away, all of us stiff and quiet, the dust from the collapsing room still clung to the air. Anabella's cryptic comments kept coming back to me, and my head was whirling. "The legacy of your family, Lisa." "What lineage?" I grumbled to myself as my annoyance mounted. "What were you saying?" Dominick went next to me and inquired in a tense voice. I lied and shook my head, saying, "Nothing." Dominick came to a halt and met my eyes. It's not insignificant. Since she said that, you have remained silent. I threw up my hands in response and shot back, "Because it doesn't make any sense." "What she's talking about is beyond me!" Ahead of us, Chelsea snorted. "Oh, Lisa, hurry up. You must acknowledge that it's strange that you continue to survive seemingly insurmountable situations. There could be some truth to it. "Reality?" I turned to her and snapped. She lies. She is manipulative in every way! Marcus stepped between us and said, "Perhaps." However, what if she

I Alexander Ortega reject you, Lisa Andrews as my mate" I heard him say with all seriousness.His voice was firm, rough and pricing deep into my heart like a warriors blade. I could feel my heart bleed as I heard those words from my mate's mouth.I looked into his eye but they where dark and emotionless, he did not seem moved by the words he was saying and one could see how dead serious he was, my eye was in immediately filled in tears as they threatened to fall but I fought hard to make sure it didn't.The only reason he was regretting me is because he feels I am just to weak and crying right one in front of him will only confirm that he was truly right that all omegas was weak like he had thought."You... Can't... Please give me one last chance.. what did I even...do wrong Alex ?" I asked him still struggling with my words.His words has completely rendered me speechless and I find it very difficult to say anything.More like was trapped, I could not move or speak I just stood there

Lisa' POVThe earth underneath us trembled with the thunderous roar of the mysterious apparition. The air seemed to become thicker as I hold my blade tighter, excitement pumping through me. "What's that thing?" I looked at Dominick and asked. With his wolf charging forward, he snarled, his claws outstretched, "Something born from Anabella's black magic." It's a puppet. She is in charge of it. As the markings on the walls pulsed in time with the creature's motions, Anabella grinned and held out her arms. "You've gone so far, and now you're failing. How lyrical. Chelsea said, changing into her wolf form next to me, "Don't listen to her." Marcus's jaw was tense as he pulled his sword. "Like the last one, we'll take it down." "This one isn't like the others," Dominick said. Larger, more powerful—and connected to her. It collapses when we remove her. Anabella chuckled. "Are you sure I'll make it that simple?"

Lisa's POVThe force as we struck the earth below knocked the breath out of my lungs, and the feeling of falling was confusing. I moaned as I forced myself to stand up in the almost complete darkness. "Lisa?" Dominick's voice broke through the chaos with its urgency and sharpness. I coughed and felt about for my dagger, saying, "I'm here." Our sole light came from the dim glow above, which created lengthy shadows on the chilly stone walls. We were trapped within once the trapdoor slammed shut. "What is this location?" My voice reverberated in the cramped room as I asked. "Anabella's perverted notion of enjoyment," Dominick snarled as he stood next to me. He looked about us, his eyes gleaming dimly in the dark light. As she stepped out of the shadows, Chelsea complained, "I'm fine, by the way," and dusted herself off. "Are all of us present?" From someplace to my left, Marcus's voice could be heard. "Yes," I said as I at last grasped my dagger's hilt. "However, we must determin
