Deep down, Liya was terrified to be back at the house, but she was too proud, and stubborn, to admit it. She was also hurt by Wren and his pathetic accusations. She couldn't understand why he would believe Hunter instead of believing her.

Illa, of course, was more than happy to be out of the car and crawled happily along the carpets on her own little mission to retrieve the pink and blue ball she threw around the living room while Liya made dinner.

After Liya and Illa took a bath and were snugly dressed in their warm pajamas, they went to bed, but Liya couldn't fall asleep. She was exhausted, feeling drained for some reason, but even after the hundredth attempt to fall asleep, she glanced over at Illa and shook her head with envy. At most times, Liya wished she could fall asleep as easily as Illa could. Liya slowly climbed out of bed, careful not to wake Illa, although Illa could sleep through most things, and walked down the hallway to the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator and rummaged through it, looking for something to snack on. She heard the floorboards creak behind her and she spun around. A pair of glowing yellow eyes watched her from the shadows and she didn't even have to guess who it was. She already knew. She always knew.

“Liya,” Hunter said as he stepped out from the shadows and slowly approached her.

“What are you doing here?” she asked as she slowly reached for the handle of the knife drawer.

“Oh, I thought you got my note,” he said with an unwarranted smile and long, drawn-out blinks.

“The one on the brick that you threw through a window right were Illa slept?” Liya asked. “You could have seriously hurt her; you know that?”

“It wasn't my intention to hurt her, Liya, or you.”

“That is bullshit. You spent nearly every night beating on me, telling me how worthless I was and that I was lucky to have someone like you who could guide me to be the right kind of Crescent, because according to your pathetic excuse of a pack, I was the problem,” she whispered as she slid her hand into the half-open drawer and reached for a knife.

“I wouldn't do that if I were you,” he warned. “I’m much stronger than you are, and you know it.”

In a sudden move, Hunter swooped in on her, grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her up against the wall.

“If you want to kill me, just do it, but you’re not getting anywhere near Illa,” she growled.

“And who’s going to stop me? You?” he asked with a smirk.

Before she could answer, he threw her across the room and she crashed into a small end table, landing on the ground.

A pain shot through her shoulder and she groaned. As she rolled onto her back, Hunter stood over her and laughed wickedly.

“Do you seriously think that you can stop me from taking what I want? You were never able to, and you never will.
