The Black Alder Series (Books 1-3)

Where it Went Wrong



Kayla Pov Something is wrong. I don’t know what it is, but I can feel it. I’ve been in this closet all day. Liam hasn’t come to visit me to hit me at all, which is strange considering he always comes at least once a day. I try not to focus on it. I’ve been spending the day trying to focus on my energy. It seems like every time I gain some, something saps it right back out of me. If I had my necklace, I’m sure it would help, but it was taken from me.

I can feel it’s getting late now. All of a sudden, the door swings open. I guess I spoke too soon about Liam coming. Here he is with the sickest grin on his face.

“Ready for your daily beating, little bitch,” he sneered. I stay quiet. I’m getting rescued soon. Soon, his blood will coat the entire ground. I smile at the thought of it.

“Oh, you think that’s funny, huh? okay. You haven’t made so much of a sound since you came back. I probably think you’re tough, but you should know, I always find new ways to break my innocent wife.” He smiles and pulls me out of the closet.

“We’re taking a little trip,” he says. He leads me out of the packhouse to the dungeons. So, he is going to put me in a cage again. Nice. I hear growling and fighting behind the packhouse. My mates. My love will come for me. All I have to do is wait. I smiled at that. When we get to the dungeons, they’re completely wiped out. It’s lit up with torches. It looks like the inside of a gigantic cave.

“Look who I got,” Liam says, dragging me into the cave.

Oh No

Towards the middle of the cave, there is a man with black robes, his hood covering his face. The sight of the walls breaks my heart as I shout and crumple to the ground. Liam yanks me up.

“Look at the gift I got for you, mate,” he says out loud with a laugh.

My mates, Elena, Roland, Lauren, Serene, Nate, and a few other people I assume are pack members were chained up to the wall. They all looked savagely beaten, and the sight was way too much for me to handle. I couldn’t stop the tears that came out as Liam chained me in front of them, facing them all. My twins are directly ahead of me. They seemed beaten so badly that they didn’t notice me.

“My love,” I scratched out.

“Mi amor,” the twins both whispered, looking up and finally noticing my presence.

“I always knew you were a slut,” Liam sneered, kicking me in the stomach. It was followed by growls from everyone on the wall. I hunched over, waiting for the pain to go away. If we were going to die, we were going to die together. Liam just chuckled.

“Thanks to my powerful friend here, none of you stood a chance, he said, motioning his hand to the man in the black robes. He wasn’t even paying attention. It looked like he was mixing stuff. My mates. My beautiful friends were in pain. I tried to call on my inner fire to try to set their chains on fire and break them free, but every time I did, I could feel them draining towards the man behind me.

“How much longer now?” Liam asks the man in black robes.

“It’s ready now,” the man says.

“Don’t do this, Magnus!” one of the men who were chained up yelled.

The man named Magnus, I presume, in the black robes smirked and walked over to me. He stabs me through the shoulder with a sword. The pain was so intense, and it burned white-hot. I could feel myself fading, but I stayed awake. I must stay awake for my twins. Magnus came in front of me and removed his hood. The growls from everyone chained to the wall were inhuman as they shook the whole dungeon. NO

It can’t be
