I feel my heart sink. Cassie was working for King Damon. She knew everything he put me through. All the horror I had to face. I could feel tears start to form in my
"I feel like I'm going to be sick," Sam says, holding her stomach. She was closer to Cassie. My heart gave out for her. I grabbed Sam's hand.
"I'm taking her to her room while you guys deal with her," I told the triplets. They nod. Sam and I walked out and headed to her room.
"All this time, it was Cassie spying on you, reporting information to that monster who abused you and threatened me," Sam said in tears. I hugged her close while we walked to her room. Once we reached her room, she sat on the bed. We were both silent until she started clutching her stomach, and she rushed to the bathroom. I ran behind her and held her hair up until she was done.
"I'll go get you some water," I told Sam, walking to the kitchen to get some. Once I reached the door, the water slipped from my hands as I saw Sam standing in the middle of the room facing me, with her arms in the air and a gun to her head held by Cassie. Briana was behind her with a gun in her hand as well, aiming at me.
I move forward when Cassie pushes Sam to her knees and presses the gun harder to her head, causing Sam to cry silently. Briana walks in front of Sam and Cassie, pointing the gun at my head.
"Pure silver bullets. One more move, and you can say goodbye to your precious friend," Cassie says with an evil smirk on her face. I project feeling afraid through my mate's bond to the triplets, hoping they would get here fast.

My brothers and I were still in the room when Kyle and Clair came back.
'She is nowhere to be found," Kyle says.
"There is no way she just disappeared like that," our mom says.
"Where does she normally hang out?" Ash asks.
"Servant quarters," Adonis says.
"Not really. She has been spending time with Sam lately." Kyle says. At the mention of Sam, he looks around the room.
"Where is Sam?" Kyle asks.
I started to respond until I felt a deep cold flow through me. It was pure fear. I turned to my brothers, who looked at me too. They felt it. Kyle staggered back.
"Sam's in trouble," he says.
"So is Bella?" I growled, and we all rushed out of the room behind Kyle. Once we got to the room, I saw Bella being grabbed and turned around to face us by Briana. Behind her, Sam was on her knees with a gun to her head, held by Cassie. It made us all pause. I could smell the silver in the gun. It wouldn't hurt us, but it would kill Sam, and we didn't know yet whether or not Bella's wolf was immune to silver. I could feel mom, Camilla, and Clair standing behind us.
"Nice of you all to join us. I should have figured she was going to notify you somehow," Cassie said. Briana's eyes held a little bit of fear, but she kept her gun on Bella. I was trying very hard to keep Strike from coming out.
Kyle growled as Cassie nudged the gun at Sam's head, and I grabbed him as he was about to rush her. He wasn't thinking clearly. Cassie pointed the gun at him.
"I suggest you stay the fuck where you are if you don't want me to kill your mate and pup," Cassie sneered, pointing the gun back at Sam.
"P. p. pup?" Sam swiveled while Kyle's eyes widened in fear. He was confused.
"That's what I just said, isn't it? I'm part witch. I can tell when someone is pregnant," Cassie says, and Kyle growls at Cassie, but his eyes are on Sam and her stomach. I focus on Briana.
"You do know there is no version of this where you walk out alive. If you kill our mate, none of us will stop until you and she are both dead," I told her, hate thick in my voice. Her eyes widened, letting me know she didn't think this through.
"Cas, what now?" She trembles.
"Just keep a hold on her little sister. I'll deal with this after I call my mate," she says, taking out her phone.
"Please, Briana. Let her go," I pleaded. He seems to piss her off, though, and she shoots a hole in the roof.
"The next one is in this bitch's head," she sneers. "This is your fault, you know. All three of you. For sleeping with me. Giving me false hope of making me Luna"
"We never said we would do that," Adonis growls at her. Bella is looking at us, taking the three of us in. A tear slid from her eyes. She thinks she is about to die. A growl comes from me.
"You were never going to be Luna Briana," I told her, trying to get her to shift the gun to me.
You're the worst one, you know. Even after they stopped, you continued fucking me. You claim to be so in love now, but even when you had your mate, you still fucked me. Then you let his bitch attack me, and you threw me to the side like some cheap whore." She says it in tears now.
"Children, hush now. Arabella, my mate, would like to speak with you," Cassie said.
She puts the phone on speaker.

"Hello, Omega," a voice from the phone says, and my voice chills. I know this voice all too well.
"Damon," I said. I could feel the fear and a bright anger start to creep up my back.
"You have been such a bad omega, sleeping around with the alphas who made me leave you there," he says, and all three of my mates growl. He pauses.
"Are they with you now? Wow, this works perfectly. Kill them as well, my mate," he says, and Cassie's eyes brighten up.
"Omega, I'm coming for you. You belong to me. You know this. I own all of you. Your mind. Your body. Your pretty pussycat It all belongs to me. Or did you not remember your first time?" He taunts me, and I can feel tears coming from my eyes at the painful memory.
"Now, Omega, there are some vamps who want to take you to their king, but I won't let that happen. After my wolves team up with them to kill everyone in your pathetic pack, I'm going to have my wolves kill them too. You're mine. You belong to me." He sneers. I can feel my anger building up even more. It's overcrowding the fear I have. Everyone's eyes are on the cellphone, but Camilla's eyes are on mine. As if she is waiting for something. Damon is still taunting me.
"I heard your little Omega friend is still pregnant. I guess I'll have to chain her to a table and cut open her stomach before I slice her throat too. I can't have any mistakes being born," he chuckles, and Kyle growls.
He just threatened my best friend and her unborn baby. My anger is flooding through me, and I can feel my whole body start to shake. I heard a clunk behind me, and everyone's eyes looked behind me at Cassie. Briana turns to Cassie with the gun still on me, and she cries out. I use that moment to kick my leg back, making hers buckle as she falls. She tries to shoot Sam as she goes down, but I jump in front of the gun as it goes off, feeling the bullet tear into my stomach.
Kayla and Camilla are grabbing Briana, and I see her struggling, but she is pinned down by them. I turn my head to see Sam crawling towards me with tears coming from her eyes, but Kyle lifts her. She is trying to get past him to get to me, but he won't let her. He is trying to protect her eyes. Good. She doesn't need to see me. I started to cough blood. I look past Sam, and I see Cassie, who is sitting on the floor. Blood was pouring from her eyes, ears, and mouth. I wonder if I did that.
My triplets are around me. Adonis took his shirt off and is keeping pressure on my wound. Ash and Ares are on each side of me, holding my hand.
"I've called for a doctor. Don't move her," I heard Kayla say. I gazed at my triplet's face. They are so beautiful. It's funny how, at this moment, all I can focus on is the beauty of my friends and how much I love them. I don't even feel the pain anymore. I just feel my body warm from the touch of my friends.
The bullet was designed in a way that I can't heal you.
It's okay, Royal. We were dying with our friends holding us. Is there any better way to go out?
No, but we are being taken before our time. It's too early; I don't accept this, but if we do die, it has been a pleasure to be your wolf girl.
I smile at her.
Thank you, Royal.
I see my friends talking, but I can't hear them. It's like they are in the water. I saw black spots and darkness. I let it take me over, and then everything went silent.
