"I don't care that you're my mate. I will never... and I repeat, I will never be yours, Hunter." she grits her teeth, making Hunter smirk.
"Is that a challenge? We'll just have to see about that, sweetheart," he says, fighting his wolf for dominance...

Abbie's POV
"Sweetheart... it's okay. It's okay. You did really good today, Abbie. I know this is hard, but this is the way things had to end. There was no other way. She would have continued to kill innocent girls if we hadn't ended things this way. I'm so proud of you," Elora says as she kneels beside me, resting her hand on my shoulder.
I sniffled, shutting my eyes, and leaned into Hunter's chest. My hot tears continued to roll down uncontrollably.
I felt Hunter's warm thumbs gently wipe my tears. He kissed my head and rested his chin where he had left his kiss. Despite the sorrowful agony inside, his embrace made me feel a little comfort as our spark ignited inside me.
"I know. I just... I can't help but feel so guilty. I know Matisa was a sadistic, evil witch. She deserved what was coming to her. But I truly wished none of these witches had followed her blindly. So many of them died for her sake. And then there's Analise. I wish she were alive. We could have been good friends, I know. All those lives we lost... it's so unfair for those werewolf girls Matisa and Santiago killed for their own satisfaction." I said, closing my eyes and tilting my head away. I could feel warm tears pour down.
"Yeah, tell me about it. They're sick." Hunter added, clenching his jaw.
"Tara. Oh, no... where is her body? Of goddess... how will I break the news to Chloe?" I asked, dropping my shoulders.
"Abbie, don't worry about Tara. Elora and I were able to bring her back. She's very weak, but we didn't lose her completely. Since she is still part of our bloodline, we were able to help her before we completely lost her. I had Hunter's men take her back. She should be almost there. Emily and Asher will be monitoring her until she is completely healed." Elena says, making me feel a bit of relief.
"Really?" I asked, wide-eyed, making Elena smile sadly.
"Yes. Abbie, she is your cousin, after all. And though Matisa didn't recognize us as family, to us, family is everything. She shouldn't be held accountable for her mother's mistakes." Elena adds.
"Well, it looks like all the witches and warlocks left have been apprehended. Our work here is done. We'll be leaving now." Ricky says, making me look up. His Beta Zane and his mate, Margot, stood next to him, and I finally took the time to look around.
I became overwhelmed at the sight. So many packs had come to our aid to fight against the witches. It was a horrid blood bath, but luckily, they didn't suffer a great loss. A few werewolves were hurt, but not deadly.
"You... guys came to help," I said as I stood up. Looking around, I saw them slowly clearing the area, helping each other, and caring for one another.
"Abbie, of course, we would come to help. You are part of our family, silly. We are always going to be there for you. Like I know you would do the same for us." Brandon says, placing his hand on my shoulder.
