I was about to take another step but a sharp pain erupted in my neck.
I felt something sticking out. I pulled out of neck.
It was a dart needle. I sniffed it.
‘Wolfsbane.’ Gavin growled.
I started getting dizzy. My vision blurred.
I started to see black dots. I collapsed on the ground. My eyelids got heavier. I felt beads of sweat roll down my forehead.
The last thing I was was Tiffiny smirking down at me with a beaker in her hand containing a green liquid.
Then it all went black.

The next Day
Artemis’s POV
I haven’t seen Blake since yesterday.
He said he would be back soon.
I wonder where he is.
I think I’m getting too clingy.
My ringing phone snapped me out of my thoughts.
I picked it up without looking at the caller ID.
“Hello?” I answered
“Artemis, it’s Noah. Have you seen Blake?”
“No. He left my house yesterday I haven’t seen him since.”
“We can’t find him either? It’s not like him to disappear without telling someone.”
“Well, when was the last time you saw him?”
“I went to his office and gave him a file for a rogue named Logan Jake.”
I flinched at his name. “Did he talk to anybody before leaving the pack house?”
“Um I think he talked to Tiffiny. She kept muttering about how she was going to get rabies because of Midnight. Then I saw him leave the house with Midnight.”
“OK. Have you seen her since?”
“Nope. She left the pack house a while after Blake left.”
“That’s really suspicious. I saw we wait a little bit and if they don’t show up we send out a search party.”
“OK sounds good, but you need to be at the pack house. To take care of alpha duties.”
“Why me?”
