CHAPTER 98

  This whole situation was proving so hard to understand, and the whirlwind of emotions swirling around her head was not helping. With a shaky exhale, Marisol finds Sophia's eyes. "Let me go. I want to leave."

  Sophia sighed again, "I wish I could, Marisol. But the boundary spell is in place to protect the pack. You can't leave, at least not until…"

  Marisol's nostrils stung with frustration. "You can't just keep me here against my will!"

  Sophia's voice softened with her next words, "I know this is hard for you to accept. We didn't want it to come to this either, but we really had no other choice."

  "Look! I don't understand what it is you're on about, and at this point, I really don't want to! I just want to go home!" Marisol cried out, her voice wavering with a mix of fear and anger, prompting Sophia to take a step closer as if to offer some comfort.

  "Marisol, we're trying to protect you. Trust me, you're safer here."
