Peter’s pov I watch her run away, her speed amicable. For a none werewolf, she was pretty fast. But that probably had to do with her knowing her life was in danger.

People tend to have a speed they usually never knew they were capable of until they get frightened.

She stumbles, falling to the ground. I reign in a snort.

Clumsy girl.

I watch her, suddenly intrigued when she stays down longer than necessary. My palms push on the bark of the tree as she finally gets to her feet, seeming to be contemplating before deciding on what course to take then, runs.

I take a step forward, stopping when she slows down to take a look back. I hide in the shadows, not wanting her to see me.

My eyes fall to where her eyes were fixed on and my eyebrows shoot up in shock. Is that what I think it is?

Wolfsbane?

That witch Malia was right. She was right about everything. About all the events that happened tonight. She was absolutely right.

Which meant she was probably right about Essi’s true intentions.

My wolf howled in my head in pain, knowing that our mate was deceiving us in the worst possible way.

I stiffen when the scent of a rogue reaches my nose. That thing wasn’t supposed to be here.

It bounds out of the shadows, its fur matted and its scent nasty. I could tell it was female due to its size. Its yellow eyes are beady as it stares at me.

It snarls knowing that it had breached a territory and I could have its head. But instead of coming towards me, it runs in the opposite direction, towards Aurora.

I don’t bother trying to catch it, in fact, it would be a good thing if it manages to catch Aurora and kill her.

Shaking my head a little, I step out of the shadows and strut over to the blooming flower. I stared at it, utterly shocked that I was face to face with one. It had been years since I last saw one.

Not since our council destroyed every single plant.

Who would’ve thought Aurora could create such a poisonous flower?

The girl never seemed intimidating. In fact, she had seemed practically useless. Until now.

Did Raphael know?

No. If he did, he would’ve surely used her already. I don’t think anyone knew, well anyone other than Malia and Essi.

Her name brought on a wave of pain. I didn’t want to think that she was using me to get to Aurora. I didn’t want to think that she wanted to destroy my kind……me.

Angered by my wave of thoughts, I pulled out the plant from the earth, my intention set on confronting Essi about all of this. I need to know the truth. I need to know if she was using me all along. If she never intended to ever make me mark her.

I walked into the mansion, my eyes scanning everywhere. I clenched my jaw when I saw Malia already standing beside a wall, leaning against it as she regarded me.

She must’ve already seen me coming because she didn’t look the least bit shocked to see me burst through the door. In fact, she looked like she was expecting me.

Her eyes fall to the plant and she smirks. “Did I not tell you?”

My canines throbbed as I pictured tearing off her neck. “Where is Essi?” I snarled. I needed to know if she was truly just using me.

But before Malia can answer, Essi comes downstairs in a blurry flash. Her fangs jutting out as she looks at me in annoyance. “I thought I told you to come back when you have her!” She ground out, but then her eyes sweep low and they widen.
