vault? “Why would this be here, Isaac?”
“You will find that there are a lot of things here about that topic.” He smiled, his eyes all-knowing but holding his tongue.
What wasn't he telling me?
“Maybe you should hang on to that one, read it with Kaia. It may answer a few questions you both have.”
I doubted it. The only questions I really needed answering were the following. Why was Kaia so determined to push me away? And what had happened in the past to change her so completely?
A few minutes later, Isaac finally let us go and I made my way back upstairs to find Kaia, the heavy book held tight in my arms. I didn't know how it would help, if at all, but I was willing to give Isaac’s suggestion a try. What did I have to lose?

Chelsea
Anger flared through her, her wolf snarling and snapping at her to shift and let it rip the bitch to pieces. How dare she waltz in here and take Ethan away from her like that? He was theirs!
They had spent years trying to get his attention, destroying every relationship he had ever tried to have, until, finally, he had fallen into her bed. And that was where she had planned on keeping him. Now one stupid witch did one fucking ritual and Ethan was tied to her forever?
She hadn't believed it at first. When all the lads came back from the ritual and Ethan hadn't, she had asked Frankie and Zak where he was; knowing that being his best friends they would know exactly where he was. But they had just laughed in her face and told her that Ethan was joining the ‘ whipped club,’ whatever that was. She had ended up tracking down Trevor to ask him where Ethan was.
Trevor was one of the higher ranked of the pack, and had made it obvious over the past year or two that he was attracted to her, but he wasn’t high up enough in the pack for her tastes. Alpha Female was where she was headed. Even being high ranked, he wasn’t good enough for her and her wolf. He had told her that he would tell her what she wanted to know, but at a price.
"A kiss, Chelsea, it will cost you a kiss. And it better be a believable one."
Five minutes later, feeling pretty smug after giving Trevor a kiss he would never forget, he wiped the smile straight off her face. "Ethan has been chosen as protector for a witch. He, the Alpha and Beta stayed behind to talk with the Crone. They will be back later with his new mate.” He had laughed at her as he shut his bedroom door in her face.
Oh hell no! She was his mate, not this fucking bitch. He was hers, and nobody else’s.
Her sister, Jennifer, had stopped her from strangling the bitch, but nothing could stop the raging tornado inside her. She needed to find a way of getting rid of this bitch, and soon.
She decided the best thing to do was to look to the old laws. There had to be some old books on them down in the vault. She just needed to find one loophole in this so-called mating, and Ethan would forever be hers. And he would love her forever. How could he not? She was a much better match for him than her . He couldn't possibly be happy with her. From what she had seen so far he wasn't, they had hardly looked at each other during the announcement.
Arriving at the vault, she found that the doors were already open, meaning that someone was already inside. Creeping forward, she followed the sound of people talking until she could make out what they were saying. Figures they would be in the room filled with the old books she needed to get to. As she listened she recognised Ethan’s voice, a worried edge to it. “Is that him? Is that the demon that is after Kaia?”
“Let me see,” she heard the old bloke that festered down here reply. “Oh yes, Abaddon. A very evil being that is said to stop at nothing to get what he wants.”
So she really was in trouble. Good to know.
“Oh shit, man!” Frankie said.
“Shit is right. How am I meant to keep her safe from him?”
Abaddon? The name sounded familiar somehow. She needed to get a
