Chapter 77

Annette POV:

Having learned that this enemy would take anyone who could fight Grayson called up Darren, Steven, and Moore the alpha of the Crescent mountain pack.

They decided to set up a prison camp in the middle of where all our territories meet. I made sure to encourage fair treatment and Grayson dutifully agreed.

He wanted to treat them well so their loyalty would waver. He hoped when they saw how everyone here lived it would open their eyes.

Grayson knew that killing the enemies Delta as well as one of their higher warriors would send a message, he wasn’t

wrong.

Any decorum they had was now gone. They attacked civilians. Three fishermen from the river phase pack. They cut them down and then strung them up to hang.

And then my husband left me. Again.

We both knew that this time it would be much longer than before. We didn’t say it I’m sure he didn’t want to acknowledge the time he’d lose.

The night before he left we locked ourselves in our room. He touched me like I was sacred, his hands lingered everywhere. I kept myself close to him holding onto him the whole night even when it felt overwhelming.

“I’ll be back as soon as I possibly can but I need to put him down for good,” he spoke and I’d seen his thoughts drift off away from the moment we’d had.

“You’ll do what you have to, but you’re not there right now,” I’d told him.

I kept his focus on me and he relished it. Once morning came even if it killed me I said goodbye to him. All I’d wanted was to lock him back in the house but he left.

The words Jessica spoke to Elizebeth played in my head on repeat. I thought constantly about if there were others who hated me and blamed me for all this danger.

I could hear whispers where there were none all day long.
