"What the hell was that?" Amani asked unsure of what to think. "A powerful spell one that freezes someone in time," Piper said. "What happened" Zach said rushing into the pack house with his mother Kyra.
"Whi called you?" Damien asked. "I did" Anya chirped in. "I think the hybrid may know more than us in this situation" she added. "What do mean?" Piper asked turning to Anya. "What does she mean?" she asked again turning to Kyra.
"Some time ago I received word that my sister's pack was taken over by something called the hive," Kyra said. "I had reason to believe that it was looking for Seraiya" she added. "You had reason to believe that this thing was going after my daughter and you never said a word to me," Piper said, her tongue laced with anger as she took a step toward Kyra.
"I told you Mom" Damien interrupted. Piper suddenly turned to Damien. "When?" she asked him confused. "3 years ago I told you something was after her and we had to find her," Damien said. "And we did" Piper replied. "Come on Mom you're smarter than that we may have her but we didn't protect her" he added.
"For the god's sake, she spent 3 years in England because she didn't feel safe coming back and now that she has come back where is she?" he said. Piper turned back to Kyra. "So what is this thing controlling her?" Piper asked desperately.
"For now it needs her," said Kyra. "For what I have no clue but it does need her" she added. "As for controlling her, I think it's more like influencing her, making her do what it wants by making her think it's what she wants" Kyra explained.
"How do we save her?" Amani asked. "I don't know" Kyra answered. "You don't know?" Zach repeated looking at his mother with worry. "My own sister has been under its control for 3 years it's been influencing not only her pack but a witch's coven as well" she stated.
"What coven?" Piper asked. "Serenas" daemon said suddenly appearing out of the blue. "How did you…" "Of course, it's her" Piper interrupted Anya. "It's always her one way or another she is always involved," Piper said angry once again.
"I'm going to find her," Amani said turning to walk away. "You can't," Kyra said. "She's my mate I can't just let her stay there being used for whatever," Amani said. "Hold on a sec your mate?" Piper questioned. "She didn't tell us this" Daemon mentioned. "I haven't told her," Amani said.
Zach's heart began to ache at Amani's words "I want her to find out for herself when she turns 18" Amani added. In that moment Zach slipped away from the group. Amani was Seraiya's mate… he should have known. Or at least suspected. But even with this new information he still couldn't get Seraiya out of his head. Her beautiful golden eyes her long black hair. To him, she was perfect in every way. To him even her cold personality was beautiful. And when she would have her small moments of happiness, and her smile shined it always made his heart beat faster.
If Amani was her mate then what was he? Why did he have these feelings? Would they go away when he found his mate? He shook these thoughts out of his head. None of that was important now. Zach suddenly shifted into his wolf form and took off into the woods at full speed.
~Find her~ his wolf echoed in his head. It made no sense even his wolf cared deeply for her but why? Suddenly he heard a growl from behind him. He came to a stop and turned. "A brown wolf now stood in front of him. ~Your not supposed to be here Zach~ Amani linked him.
~ I'm just going for a run~ he told her as they now began to circle each other. ~you can't save her alone~ Amani ignored his words. ~dont you think I know that~ he snapped. ~ I was just hoping to at least find her~ he said solemnly.
~and what did you plan to do when you did?~ Amani asked ~what if the hive influenced you like it did her or worse what if it killed you?~ she questioned him.
~we can't just leave her there~ he said. ~ I'm the last person that wants to leave her with that thing Zach but we don't have any other option right now. We have no plan, no backup, for the god's sake we don't even know what the hive is~ Amani told him.
Zach turned away from Amani. ~I know you love you love her to~ Amani said. ~ I don't know what you're talking about~ Zach replied still not looking at Amani. ~ I'm not an idiot Zach I've known since the moment we first met~ she told him. ~if you really do love her then you have to wait~ she told him.
When Zach turned around Amani was gone. He slowly began to make his way back. She was right they had to wait.
Amani ran as fast as she could suddenly a black woman with long braided hair and purple eyes appeared in front of her forcing Amani to come to an abrupt stop. "I heard you were looking for me," said Sasha. "Here are some clothes shift back and put them on and follow me," she said setting the clothes on a rock. Amani did as she said and quickly put on the clothes before following her. "Your Sasha Sinclair the seer?" Amani questioned. "I am," Sasha said. "I knew you were looking for me but wouldn't be able to find me so I decided to find you," Sasha told her. "Can you find Seraiya too, can you tell me how to save her?" Amani asked desperately.
Sasha turned to her. "I cannot" Sasha replied. No seer can see her. But I can tell you your future if you wish" Sasha said. "Will it help me save her?" Amani asked. "In a sense" Sasha answered. "Then tell me" Amani replied.
Suddenly Sasha's eyes became completely white. I see the past. The day you met her" said Sasha. "I thought you couldn't see her" Amani cut in. "I can only see you," Sasha told her. "I see how much you love her, but then I see you fighting, I see your wolf being taken from you, and I see you in the arms of your mate, lifeless" Sasha said as her eyes became normal again. "I'm gonna die?" Amani asked. "The future is one never set in stone," Sasha told her. "Knowing your future gives you the chance to change it" she added. "So change it," Sasha told Amani.
