Isabella's POV

I saw myself immediately change back to human form. "You thought I didn't know about your 'special power'?" She cackled. "I know about you, after all your mother had it too!" She spat. "What about my brother?" I inquired. She sighed deeply as if I was annoying her. "It is only inherited by the first born daughter, it is our legacy. It has been in our family for generations and can never be stopped, only suppressed. The witches call it, 'the frozen touch' and it is considered a blessing.

My neck began itching. "What did you inject me with?" I scratched my neck. "Just a special little compound to suppress your power for a couple of hours," she suddenly smiled, "I made it myself. Now I can kill you in peace. Out of nowhere Sam's wolf form leaped over me and attacked Vinora. I sat there staring in shock. He dug his teeth into her shoulder and pulled until it popped. This was when she threw him off of her. Sam began to circle her looking for an opening, when he found none he lunged anyways. She shifted and met him halfway.

I got up and started to look around. My eyes darted from one spot to another. I really didn't want to leave Sam alone with her but I was worried about my mate. With all the strength I could muster I jogged around trying to locate him. I spotted him laying unmoving by a cluster of trees. As I approached my heart began to fall into my stomach.

I felt tears pricking the sides of my eyes. He lay there in his wolf form. It looked as if he was covered in silver chains but there were absolutely none, that's what scared me. I kneeled beside him and held his head. My chest heaved heavily in pain. He stirred a bit which made him shift back. His skin was deathly pale and the area around his eyes was dark.

"So you thought you could leave me with your watchdog, huh?" Vinora sneered appearing from the shadows. Behind her was a battered and bruised Sam who looked to be on the brink of death. "You don't have to do this Vinora!" I shouted with emotion thick in my voice. "Oh but I do, and there's nothing you can do. I've started with your mate, he has a poison that's slowly killing him from the inside as we speak. Now it is your turn, after you is everyone and everything associated with you," she growled out.

"Stop!" A voice said just as she was about to deliver a kill blow to me in my defeated state. She turned to see a man I had never seen before. "Toby?" Vinora asked. "Yes Nora, it's me," he answered approaching carefully. "But how?!" She shrieked, "I thought you were dead!" "No, I left," he simply stated. "Why?"

"You were too controlling Vinora!" He shouted. "You're a psychopath, a maniac. You know what you did to me and now you're doing it to your niece?! Why are you like this, why are you so power hungry. I once loved you mate, but you started to make it hard for me." He ended by looking to the ground.

"No! I never forced you into anything. I loved you so much and I still do. All I had wanted was for us to live in peace without my pesky sister around." She cried her heart out to him.

Their exchange went on with him trying to dissuade her from her evil plan. He failed miserably. She threw him against a thick tree trunk making it snap in half. I winced and looked away. The tingly feeling returned once more.

A loud sound resounded in the small clearing and I saw Toby fall to the ground. "You're next," she spat before pulling the trigger. I braced myself waiting for the impact, but it never came. Removing my hands, I looked down to see a frozen bullet with my hands vibrating.

She looked at me furiously. When she shot another bullet I dodged then threw an ice shard that pierced the area above her heart. The whole battle ceased, the gruesome creatures all fell down and cried out in despondence. I did too but for a completely different reason.

My mate was unresponsive and my heart broke at that.
