"When I'm with you, I feel safe from the things that hurt me inside."

POV-Evelyn

"You aren't good at following orders..." Trystan's voice emerges behind me. I gasp in surprise and stand slowly turning to face him.

His face is pointed down, the shadows cast over from the dim lighting in the cell hallway. His piercing green eyes focus on me, I stare back at him. His sharp jawline, how it's so prominent, just like Logan's.

I shake the thoughts away and clear my throats stepping away from the cell trying to come up with a good lie.

"I... was just curious-"

"Don't lie to me, I can tell when you lie" he states plainly. I swallow nervously and chuckle moving a strand of hair behind my ear.

"She was actually here to see me, jerkwad" Meg hisses from behind the bars.

I turn and gape staring her down, I cannot believe she just told the werewolf ruler that!? But in her case she didn't know he was a very strong and powerful supernatural creature.

I hear Trystan intake a breath, out of my peripheral sight I watch him run his hand through his hair a couple times. His eyes land on Meg behind the bars. Her grey eyes narrow as she stares at him. I can see them swirling with something most likely a plan to get out of the cell and house and run.

Trystan pushes himself off the wall he was leaning against and makes his way towards us, I take it upon myself to intervene before this gets out of control. I step in front of him and place the palm of my hand against his firm chest. He pauses for a moment and glances down, his eyes swirling with some type of unknown emotion. After awhile I clear my throat and his gaze flutters up to mine.

"I would like you to let her go, she is my friend and I will not permit her to stay in that" I say, pointing back towards the cell.

His eyes darken and he scoffs, rolling his eyes, his gaze glued to a  wall above my head. I smack his chest and his eyes flicker to me only for a moment before going back to the wall. I groan and push him, he stumbles and his eyes are automatically on me. He's fuming with anger just waiting to explode.

"How dare you lay a hand on your alp-" he stalks over to me but stops. His eyes glaze over and he seems to be in some sort of trance. Probably some type of werewolf trick.

I scoff in annoyance and cross my arms walking back over to Meg. "I'll get you out" I promise her. She only nods and sits down.

Trystan lets out a growl and grumbles, "let her out she may be free but is not permitted to leave the pack perimeters, I trust you will be able to get her accustomed to our ways here?" Trystan finishes already turning back towards the exit.

I am surprised not expecting him to let up so easily, I nod. He passes a set of keys over his shoulder, I catch them with some difficulty almost dropping them. I look up to find him already gone down the hall, I send him a silent thank you and unlock the cell.

"So... we are living with werewolves? You are supposed to marry a werewolf?!" She exclaims, jumping up onto the bed and pulling at her red hair.

I chuckle and lean back against the headboard, "I mean yeah, I'm not too mad about it... my life wasn't too exciting before this anyways" I sigh grabbing a pillow and resting it on my lap, Meg sits cross-legged directly in front of me. With her gaze cast down, she inhales deeply.

"I am okay with whatever you want to do, if you think that's escaping this place and blowing it to shreds or.. marrying this sick bastard... I'll do whatever you do" she rests her hand on top of mine. I stare up into her light grey eyes swirling with a mix light and dark.

I smile warmly and wrap my arms around her. Meg bursts out laughing, she breaks the hug and falls back staring up at the ceiling.

"I really need a shower," she says in between giggles.

I begin to laugh along with her and soon we are both having a fit of giggles on the floor of my new bedroom. And a warm feeling fills me, I've never felt this happy, and I realised, maybe being taken here wasn't the end of the world. Maybe it was the beginning of a new one...

POV-Trystan

I groan and push through the doors leading into the packhouse. There is a group gathered around my Beta Ty, he is calming the crowd down but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. He glances nervously around the room finally meeting my gaze.

"Let the Beta speak!" My voice booms out amongst the people gathered around. Ty runs over towards me, his eyes alert, "what is it?" I ask.

He takes a deep breath, "the rogues got word of what we did, and they brought up the peace treaty..." he trails off his eyes cast downwards.

All the air leaves my chest if they got word that we killed one of their own they'd come looking for blood and it would not be pretty. My mind returns to that night when they raided our pack and ended up killing hundreds. We found out later that they raided because we apparently killed one of their own. I had no knowledge of this and immediately after the raid I found and killed the wolf who brought that night onto my pack. And who was to blame for killing Lea.

I promised myself and the rogues that we'd never lay a hand on them if they promised to lay off our lands. So the invisible peace treaty was set into place and we've been free from their wrath ever since. That is until now.

"But we didn't attack first, did you not tell them that?" I said, panic lacing my words. I knew what the rogues were capable of, they weren't like how they used to be, pushed away from their older packs. Now they were stronger and larger in numbers. They've created a pack of their own, and everyone should fear them.

"They don't seem to care, they believe that we had attacked one of them and that is why they were chasing Lucy and Evelyn." He finishes.

Rage boils up inside of me, I run a hand through my hazel hair. And turn to acknowledge everyone gathered around us.

"Will they come attacking again?"

"Should I leave with my mate and family?"

"How could you let this happen again!?"

All the shouts and screams meet my ears, my souls collapses in on itself. I feel the dread of what has happened dawn on me. I let this happen, I brought them here. It was all too much and that made me hideaway, this was becoming too much to bare yet again.

"I...I'm so sorry..." I mutter stumbling back towards the exit. I leave through the front doors, the screams fading away as I run further away from the packhouse and towards my seclusion.

The tears come before my thoughts could reach, I collapse onto the forest floor, the moss wet from the rain we had the previous night. My mind reels, with memories of her dying in my arms, to the pack shouting how much they hated the rogues. All the fear and dread I had welled up inside of me now out in the open for everyone to see. How much of a coward I had become since that night.

Two small arms wrap around my torso, her head rests on my shoulder as I kneel in front of her sobbing. She shush's me and soothes me.  "It'll be alright, whatever happened you can get through it.." she says her hand running through my hair. If I had enough energy I would stop her, only lea could do this only Lea...

"I'll help you through it," she says one last time. Her grasp on me grows tighter and I swear, I felt a single tear escape from her eyes.
