Unknown Destiny

Anne P.O.V

I slowly make my way up the stairs to get to my apartment. Even though Cameron is just across from me, it feels like we live a whole country apart. She hasn't talked to me since that night when I finally told her who and what she is. What I am.

Let's just say it didn't go as expected. Yes I wanted her to know everything but not the last bit. Not that I was planning on giving her to Massimo in order for my parents.

I'm so torn between the two things I love the most.

Wait no. Not love.

Cherish. Admire. Anything but love. I don't love Cameron.

Do I?

Despite all that, I decided against it. Massimo doesn't know it, but I have a plan up my sleeve. My ex and I have a plan.

Yes I am well aware of how bizarre that sounds, that my ex and I are still close friends, but wolves stay friends till the end. We're loyal like that.

I slowly walk past Cameron's door intentionally listening to her conversation with Rachel. I saw her walking here with food and drinks. But I hear nothing. Just complete silence. So I walk into my apartment to meet Leo laying lazily on my couch.

He's grown a partial amount, at the moment he's up to my waist which is rather spectacular. I adore it.

"Hey Leo." I say smiling. The dog simply barks happily before returning his head to his paws in comfort, "Jake is coming Over tonight. It's been a while since you've seen him aye."

Leo quietly growls before closing his eyes in serenity. I chuckle. Although Jake is a werewolf just like me, Leo absolutely despises him. It's surprising actually, Leo likes Cameron for godsake. And she's a bloody vampire.

Nevertheless, Jake is my ex, and I'm bound to see him. We're in the same pack, his parents and my parents are the closest of friends and when I told him of my situation he came up with the plan that includes deceiving Massimo.

Hence why I brought food. I plan on cooking for him tonight.

"So you're telling me, that Cameron... Doesn't like you?" He asks engulfing another mouthful of spaghetti.

"How many times do I have to say this Jake? She thinks I'm going to give her to Michele Dorito." I reply placing my fork down.

How many times do I have to tell him in order for him to realise that she has a literal restraining order on me.

"Well you did kind of agree to it." He says after swallowing his food, "By the way, it's Michael Deritio–"

"I don't care, Jake." I say shaking my head, "I told Massimo or Michael after I left my childhood home with Glenn. We found him and I... I made that deal with him."

"Wow good job. So now you're going against that deal?"

"Yeah, and now I know a way to get mum and dad back without dying."

He stops eating and looks up to me, "You can't be serious?"

"It's my only choice Jake."

"No it's not. That's a stupid, idiotic, pathetic choice Anne." He says shaking his head at me in disbelief.

I don't blame him. It is a stupid idea. The most stupidest, but I've ran the calculations and it's the only one where she doesn't get hurt. Where Cameron will never get hurt again.

"Father will not agree with this. He is after all the alpha."

"He may be the Alpha Jake, but I'm the protector. I have the say in what happens regarding her safety." I reply in a dangerous tone, "She is the Seventh after all. Her life is over mine."

"No it's not! You have a family. You are after all fighting for your parents."

I sigh exhausted, "I've been thinking lately Jake, to be a bit of a badass and go against the rules. This may be the beer we've been drinking or that I'm just really tired, but what if we break into the Coven? What if we just—"

"Nope. Nope nope and nope." He raises his eyebrows with a. Worried expression plastered all over his face, "Breaking into the Coven with end up with us dead. O'Connor will quite literally kill us if they even see us by the gates."

"Which is why we be stealthy."

"Are you kidding Anne? If you don't remember, we are werewolves. We have a freaking scent. They'll catch us."

I just smile. Jake simply stares at me, his eyes widening as realisation flows through his face, "The Witch? Oh my dear God! You've gone mad haven't you? It's a rule that witches and werewolves— Wait what am I talking about? It's a rule that werewolves and vampires are not supposed to fall in love but here we are. You're planning on sacrificing yourself for some vampire?"

"I have to."

"Would you have done that for me?" He asks suddenly and I can't help but to feel taken aback.

"Jake."

"Would you have sacrificed yourself for me when we were dating?"

"I'm not sacrificing myself for her."

"No but you're definitely going to kill yourself if you're doing down that road." He replies looking down at his meal.

"Just listen to me okay?" I say grabbing his hand from across that table."I'm not going to die. Here's the plan."

Step 1. Go to the witches house in Salem and demand for the invisibility spell that only lasts for 1 hour. That's all the time that's needed.

Step 2. Drink the potion, save some for parents and somehow get into the Coven.

Step 3. Quietly and stealthily make my way down to the prisons cells on the underground levels.

Step 4. Find parents and make them drink the potion.

Step 5. Bring them back and run as far away as we can for an hour.

Step 6. Go back and help Cameron defeat Massimo and discover her seventh power.

I look up to Jake and he simply shakes his head in disbelief and shoves a forkful of spaghetti into his mouth, "You're going to die but okay."

"If I do die then I want you to give this to her." I hand him a cube. "It looks useless I know, but when she gets it she'll figure it out. She deserves to know Jake. She deserves to know who she is exactly. What happens after she kills Massimo."
