Elias pov So Jade was from the Sage Mountain pack. When you arrive at our pack you get a series of interviews to see if you’re not a threat. I wonder how that part slipped through. I mean she was only four at the time, she didn’t have anything to do with my kidnapping or with my grandmothers betrayal. But I would have liked to know this in advance. The adults at the table were still quiet, while Jade sat there with a stoic look on her face. Did she truly not know how much that pack had cost us? Aah fuck it, if no one else was going to ask I would. ‘Were your parents killed during the attack?’ I asked Jade. My father looked at me with surprise, he was usually the one to ask the questions. ‘My father was killed during the attack, but my mother committed suicide after. I found her in the bathroom’, the last part she said quietly so the kids at the table couldn’t hear. I instantly felt guilty, if it wasn’t for me none of this would have happened. ‘Why did you come here

Elias pov It hadn’t been hard avoiding Jade this week, I had been so busy with school and the conference. In the morning I drove myself and Briana to school and after school I did my homework or attended one of the meetings. It always felt like a family reunion seeing the special wolves, but it also brought back a lot of memories for everyone. Today we would talk at the school together for the younger kids, who might not know what happened 12 years ago. Growing up in this pack was great, but it wasn’t a good representation of the world. There were still a lot of places where you had to fit a certain mold to belong, where Omega’s were still treated as less than other wolves and where woman had little to no rights. Being different was celebrated at the Crimson Moon pack, I mean our Luna was a special wolf. But it hadn’t always been like this, when I first got to the Crimson Moon pack there was even a group trying to stop my father from making changes. I was glad Brian

Jade’s pov I looked up and saw Alpha Axel’s holding Liam’s arm. ‘Is that anyway to treat someone?’ Alpha Axel said. ‘No, Alpha, No! ‘ Liam said sounding very scared. ‘If I ever see you hurt anyone else I will kick you out of my pack, is that clear?!’ Alpha Axel said as he tightened his grip around Liam’s arm. ‘Yes, Alpha. I am sorry’. Liam shouted. ‘Don’t apologize to me, apologize to Jade’. Alpha Axel said while releasing Liam. Liam said ‘Sorry Jade’ and ran away as fast as he could. ‘Can I offer you a ride back to the packhouse?’ Alpha Axel said, ‘I was just getting some chocolate and cookies for Amber. She has worked so hard this week’. I texted Zoey to let her know I would be heading home, I didn’t want to stay at the club any longer anyway. When we got in the car Alpha Axel started talking to me ‘did Elias or Briana tell you about my parents? Well you must have heard about Lenore. She wasn’t always like that, well maybe some part of her was. But losing her mate

Jade’s pov If I was going to kill Elias I needed to do it soon. I was sure any longer in this pack I would lose my nerve. I had loved living here, free from the coven. I had loved doing some white magic again, instead of practicing dark magic. And I had made friends, learned new fighting skills and had sex. I felt like a normal teenager, well if a normal teenager secretly had a mission to destroy the whole Wentworth family by killing their prodigal son. I needed to do this for my family, my parents didn’t deserve to die like that. An eye for an eye, I need revenge. I didn’t have much time, so I went to the garden after dinner and got my plants. I had gotten some chicken feet from work and I had convinced the kitchen staff to make apple pie, I needed all the apple seeds I could find to add to my poison. One seed isn’t that poisonous, but a cup full will kill you. Combined with some herbs, that most people had in their kitchen and my blood I was good to go. I mixed ev

Jade’s pov I couldn’t believe Elias let me go. I didn’t know why I couldn’t kill him, but I had still tried to poison Elias. That was not something one forgives easily. It hurt when he said he didn’t want to see me ever again, but I understood why. It was hard being around him, I felt guilty to my parents for not killing Elias and guilty to Elias for trying to kill him. And then there was the burning feeling in my back that was as strong as ever. Elias had let me to the forest, he couldn’t help me anymore. I was on my own now. Luckily I knew how to cloak my scent using one of the spell I was taught. I just needed some mud, seeds, grass, leaves and some water. It wasn’t hard to find those in a forest. I ran for a bit until I found a place where I could mix it all together. I made a small bowl in the ground and put everything in the bowl.  Calling earth for protection, please hide my direction. Make sure I cannot be found, cloak my scent for an hour round. This s
