Tears stream down my face as I lean in closer. My hand is trembling as I brush a strand of hair away from her pale face. “I’m so sorry, Isabella,” I whisper and press my lips to her forehead.

But even as I say the words, I know they’re not enough. I have to do something, anything, to save her.

Closing my eyes, I take a deep breath, steeling myself for what I’m about to do.

Chapter 55

Liam

Irush downstairs and freeze at the sight before me. The living room is engulfed in chaos. Vampires, about seven of them, have invaded our home. My eyes scan the room frantically, searching for any sign of Selene, Blake, or Levi, but they’re nowhere to be seen.

My mother stands protectively in front of Alyssa, fiercely protective.

In a state of panic, Grayson has shifted into his wolf form, growling and snarling at the intruders.

Layla, beside him, holds a flame of fire in her hand, ready to defend our family.

Colt and my father are standing by side next to the entryway.

I recognize the woman among the vampires—it’s the same one I had trailed that very first time, the one I suspected to be in cahoots with Selene. It must be Katya.

“What the hell?”

What do they want?

And where the fuck is my mate?

My mind is racing with adrenaline-fueled thoughts. “Grayson, stay close to me,” I command, moving to stand beside my mother.

Grayson nods in response, with his eyes fixed on the vampires.

“What do you want?” I call out to the vampires.

Katya, steps forward, a cold and calculating smirk playing on her lips. “Liam, was it?”

“What makes you think you could come into my family home and attack us? How stupid are you?” I say as I let my claws come out.

“What do you mean? We keep defeating you. Is this such a hard concept to understand? Thomas,” she beckons to the vampire right behind her.

“Yes, my love!”

I almost want to laugh at the absurdity of the scene before us.

“Remember the instructions. Only council members die,” she lashes out.

Fuck!

“Not on my watch!” my father says as he leaps, turns into a wolf mid-air, and rips Thomas’ head off in one quick movement.

Everyone is frozen in shock for a whole thirty seconds.

Then Colt lets out a low whistle. “Damn, Dad, I didn’t know you had that in you.”

After that, all hell breaks loose. My mother is shooting energy balls at the vampires as Emmett and Grayson circle around a younger-looking vampire.

Katya lets out a loud scream as she rushes towards Layla, who uses magic to throw her across the room.

I am almost giddy with excitement as I charge towards Katya. She is the clue to finding my mate.
