"Get up. It's time." Inara announced. "They are asleep. Let's move before Raiden shows up."

I jolted from the bed, grasping reality as my eyes flew open, quickly adjusting to the dark state of the room. I heard Katie and Hazel snoring peacefully and I quietly got off the bed, hoping to get out of the room without disturbing their sleep.

"How many hours do we have till dawn?" I asked my wolf through the bond we shared while I threw on my leather training suit before slipping out of the room and closing the door behind me.

"Two hours," Inara answered.

I inhaled sharply, "Two hours? How did I sleep for so long? Fuck! Jessica must have woken up to prepare-"

"Relax. Jessica is still asleep. I can't sense her consciousness in the house and I helped you sleep longer because you need enough physical strength to bring Kyle back. We only have one chance and we can't mess it up." Inara explained, urging me to stay calm. "You induced my sleep?" I queried in shock.

"I did what I had to and you'd thank me later." My wolf etched. "Now let's move before Jessica launches her plan."

I didn't bother to argue with Inara even though I wasn't pleased with how she had chosen to manipulate my mind. It was clear that I still needed to learn how to tame her or I'd lose control of my senses to her one day or in other words, she'd tame me.

Steadily, I tiptoed into the living room, rushing over to the door without making any sound that would definitely wake Jessica from her sleep. She was already mad about the lies I told her in the past. It wouldn't be good for either of us if she found me sneaking out after agreed to work along with her and Raiden.

Jessica would be crazy mad-

Every thought I had flew out of my mind as soon as I pulled the entrance door open and came face to face with the devil herself and hell was she fuming as she stared down at me.

"Jess..." I breathed, swallowing my fear because I couldn't allow myself to appear weak... not even to Jessica.
