LOGINI managed to get two done today. We are starting to learn about Candy...
Adrian POVAiden, Isaiah, and I are talking about Candy. We are trying to figure out how Candy got onto the premises undetected.“Didn’t Ronan come in undetected? We know that he came in with the rogues.”“Yeah, but his scent could have gotten lost in the rogue’s scent,” I replied.“Thalia mentioned that she could have been recruited as a hitman,” Aiden said.“Yeah, but I doubt that human hitman know how to or if they even can hide their scents,” I countered. All three of us were stumped trying to figure it out, but we were coming up with nothing. Isaiah then switched gears.“How are things going between Sinclair and you?”“We are figuring it out. I messed things up pretty badly when I first realized she was my mate. She thought I didn’t want her because I left. Really, I was in shock. I was still grieving.”“You walked out on Sinclair?” Isaiah asked, stunned. “No wonder Kaia was ready to tear you apart. She wouldn’t tell me anything, but she was seriously ready to rip you a new one.
Sinclair POV Kaia, Thalia, Mom, and Rory are all determined to take me shopping. I feel so out of my element. The only one who understands me is Mom. “When Austin first found me, I followed him. I left with the clothes on my back. The next day, Lacey took me shopping, and I felt the same way.” “Mom, how was your life before you found Dad?” I asked. All of us turned to Mom expectantly. She never really wanted to talk about her past. She’s always glossed over it. She focuses on all of us and not on herself. Dad doesn’t even talk about it because Mom doesn’t like bringing it up. “Let’s get lunch, and I will tell it to all of you. Then I will never speak of it again,” she said. We all agreed, got food, and literally sat for two hours talking about Mom’s past. When she was done explaining, she smiled. “I see myself in all of you. I see the fighters, the cleverness, the neglect, the abuse, and the loneliness. I felt it the same way Thalia, Kaia, and Sinclair have. The love I have for
Candy POV I made it through undetected. I found her scent and followed it, just like he showed me. He wanted me to send a warning. So I tore up the cute little dress. The objective wasn’t to hide that I was there. It was to show her that I could get in undetected. My father is rotting in the basement of some freak wolf. Sinclair became a wolf. Disgusting. No wonder she was able to beat my Dad and brother. I was the only one who was spared from the basement because I was quick on my feet and managed to stab a security guard in the neck. Julian wanted me to bring her back. Ronan, however, said he would train me. Said he would show me how to make the potions, sneak in undetected, and then, when I’m ready, officially make me a hunter. Sinclair should not get to live better than me. She should not have the respect of a pack. She should not be smarter than me. She won’t be able to find me, but I know where she is. Ronan found out easily after he fought her. The fact that she is still ali
Adrian POV“Son of a bitch,” Aiden said. He reached for his phone and called Isaiah.“Brother, what’s up?”“Candy snuck onto our pack borders and destroyed Sinclair’s things,” Aiden said in a deathly tone.Isaiah snarled. “I’m coming now.”They hung up, but I’m the only one confused. I know Candy was a bully towards Sinclair, but I’m clearly missing something.“Can someone fill me in?” I asked.Aiden ignored me for a moment. “Sinclair, access all other security footage around the pack. I want to know how she got in.”Sinclair was already clicking away, and Thalia was behind her, observing the screen. I turn my attention back to Aiden and pull him aside. “Explain. What am I missing?”“What do you know?”“Sinclair told me about her foster families. The Crosses were the last ones. She said that her father sat around collecting the checks, neglected her, and allowed his asshole son to treat her like a servant, while doing nothing about Candy’s bullying. She said that Candy made her starve
Aiden POV“Something happened with Sinclair. Adrian is furious. I need to go to Sinclair’s room,” I said to my Mojito.“I’m coming,” she said definitively.We go down to the guest wing, and as soon as we are on the floor, I feel Adrian’s aura radiating throughout. I knock on Sinclair’s door, and Adrian opens it roughly.“I’m fucking killing someone, Aiden,” he growled.I looked behind him, and Sinclair was holding onto the dress that her brother had given her. It’s in shreds. My anger rises immediately.“Oh, Sinclair!” Thalia said, rushing over to her and hugging her.“Tally, I don’t understand this behavior. A rejected she-wolf is cast out of society? When did this become the standard?” she asked, crying.I’m fucking furious. I kneel in front of Sinclair. “This has never been the standard, Sinclair. Something is going on, and I’m going to find out what it is. If we have traitors in this pack and they are targeting you, they are dead.”Thalia continues holding Sinclair. She opens the p
Adrian POVThe pack not respecting Sinclair is my fault. Now she doesn’t trust them to do their jobs, and I can’t blame her.I grabbed her hand and led her out of the room, down the stairs, and into the dining hall. When we get there, everyone looks at us. Noses went up in the air.I marked her; she’s mine. They better not test my patience.“Who dares disrespect the beta female of this pack and my mate?” I asked in a low growl.Everyone’s eyes widened. Sinclair’s grip tightened on my hand. She is nervous. She is a fierce fighter, a fucking genius, and yet she is nervous.“Let me be clear about something right now,” I said loudly. I noticed my family sitting with smiles on their faces. I’ll deal with that in a minute. “When I walked out of my welcome party, it was from shock. Not because I was rejecting my mate. I needed time to come to terms with having a second-chance mate. Thoughts of rejecting my mate were NEVER on my mind. If I see my mate being disrespected, starved, or mocked beh
