Cato’s point of view
I stood by my office window in the base, my Dad beside me. In the street below, a nurse walked Adelaide out of the hospital. When she flew in from Vermont two days ago, she couldn’t walk, her skin sickly white and her body frail and weak.
Now we watched as she sprinted across the street to where her father was standing. She leapt into his arms as he squeezed her tight and swung her around, kissing her head repeatedly.
“You may come to regret letting him walk free, Cato,” Dad said, “But must say, I’ve never seen him love anyone, let alone that much.”
I’d spent all morning speaking to Adelaide. Everything she and Luciano said matched perfectly, giving me no reason to suspect any malicious intent.
“Maybe he had no one to love until Adelaide came along,” I said, “With no parents and you as his only friend, it must have been lonely.&rdq

My power, my strength and my action are alldriven by one thing- the instinct to protect the things I hold dear.But heed this:if you choose to stand in my way, you will see nothing gentle.

A few weeks ago,The music of the party thudded throughout the house and the smell of sticky teenagers was rife in the air. It was the vision of misguided youth with alcohol, drugs, drunken make-outs and a whole lot of annoying the neighbours.Not exactly my scene but I was with my boyfriend who, as an established member of the football team, mixed with this crowd regularly.
October 10thA couple of weeks after the great break up, life had moved on.To begin with, I'd felt lost and betrayed and spent many hours staring at the ceiling of my bedroom wondering what on earth happened to the boy I thought was so right for me. But after a bit of time, I saw it for what it was. Just a silly teenage romance.
When the bell rang at 4 O'clock, my heart sank.Detention.I walked to Mr Greggory's classroom to see Logan already sitting at a desk.Shit.I was kind of hoping/expec
October 10th"And you're certain you want to go to this party, Ella?" Connor asked as we ate dinner."No, I spent half an hour trying to perfect winged eyeliner to stay home," I said, putting down my fork to point at the masterpiece I had created on each eye.He rolled his eyes, "You know what I mean."
October 10thThe second I was across, I took a short deep breath.As a rogue, I'd just stepped into yet another Alpha's territory. Was I asking for a premature death tonight?But after a few agonising moments, the forest remained still and I let my anticipation crumble. After a deep sigh of relief, I almost laughed at how ea
Years ago..."Ella! Connor! It's time for bed!" My dad called up the stairs.Our little feet could immediately be heard scurrying towards our warm beds. We knew that if we were quick, he would tell us a story. We snuggled tightly under the warm covers and awaited our father. We were eleven and twelve but you could never be too old for his stories.
We walked through the woods for hours. We hardly exchanged a word until we reached a black car parked on the edge of the forest. He unlocked it as we approach before opening the passenger door and herding me in, closing the door and walking around to the driver's seat.I stared out the window, watching the trees lining the narrow forest track whiz by as I appreciated the soft leather of the seat that allowed my tired legs to finally rest.But my mind could not relax. I was still in a car with not only a s
