Eva's POV

I gasped in a deep breath as my head submerged from the water.

I was a bit lost and confused at first but by time and a couple of answered questions by Alexis, I understood everything.

It's been two weeks now since I started roaming as a soul. Every time I would go to sleep then the next thing I know, I'm in the lake where I was reborn as a Gumiho ten years ago.

Alexis explained to me that since my body can't survive without the pearl, my soul has detached itself from it and is now on the search.

I saw this as a great opportunity to get my pearl back without Logan having to endanger himself. Hopefully, I'll be able to find it before its too late since I only have about a week or so left.

I feel weak, very weak to tell you the truth and the energy consumed to detach my soul from my body isn't helping. The time I'm able to spend as a soul decreases by time and I knew that in the end I won't be able to even blink.

But I have to hold tight, I have to save myself and save Logan. Only God knows what wild happen if I died and he wanted to go avenge my death. He might get himself killed. Plus, I don't want to die.

I felt myself float from the water and move gracefully between the tress.

I could feel the warmth of the pearl call onto me and that's how I find the way to it, however, I lose my energy and go back to my body every time I come close.

I closed my eyes and focused. The warm waves came from my right and I turned towards it.

I started feeling the heat from my pearl increase as I floated past trees in my white flowy dress.

I scrunched up my face in confusion.

I don't remember the pearl being this close before.

I felt my energy draining and I knew I had to move faster and locate my pearl.

Different thoughts were running through my mind and they weren't at all pleasant.

During all the times that I've been searching for my pearl, I never felt it this close to our territory. Something is definitely up.

I urged myself to move faster as I felt more of my energy drain.

'No. Please, just a minute.' I pleaded in my head.

I started hearing different voices speaking and just as I was about to pass the row of trees, everything around me turned black and the feeling of falling from a high place hit me and made my heart race uncontrollably.

I gasped as I woke up with a start.

Immediately, I was engulfed between someone's arms. The sparks and warmth gave the person away.

I leaned closer to Logan's chest as he rubbed circles on my back.

"Are you okay baby? What happened?" He asked, his voice sounding very concerned.

"I...I was out again." I choked out, my voice raspy and dry.

Logan reached for the glass of water on the night stand and brought it closer to my lips.

I took a sip and felt the cold water trickle down my dry throat.

"I told you not to that anymore Eva, you're hurting yourself." Logan said as he pulled me closer. "You're already weak as it is." His voice cracked in the end.

"I'm sorry but I can't help it. I don't want to go." My voice broke too as I snuggled closer. I felt my eyes glaze over and lump forming in my throat.

"You won't Eva, I'll do anything in my power to get your pearl back, I'll search day and night until I find it, I promise." Logan said as he pulled away slightly to look into my eyes.

His eyes too held tears and it broke my heart.

"I love you Logan." I whispered as I cupped his cheeks.

Logan leaned in and pecked my lips softly. "I love you too Eva, more than anything in this world."

We kept on looking into each other's eyes, enjoying the feeling of being in your love's arms.

A thought snapped in my head, making me sit up properly.

Logan gave me a confused look. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"Can you gather your father and everyone else, I have to tell you something important." I stated.

Logan seemed confused but didn't ask much.

His eyes clouded, meaning that he was mind linking them.

"They'll be here in a bit." He stated after a while.

We didn't stay long before a soft knock on the door made us turn our attention to it.

"Come in." Logan said and the door opened revealing Logan's parents, their beta and third, Jake, Alexis and my grandfather. He's been staying with us since Logan and I came back and nd only leaves to the castle every now and then. My aunt is staying with us too.

Claire run to me once our eyes met.

"Eva, how are you doing sweety? I've been so worried. Are you feeling okay?" She gushed with worried eyes as she pulled away from the hug she was giving me but still keeping her hands on my shoulders.

I nodded weakly and gave her a small smile. "I'm fine."

"So, son, what's the important thing you wanted to tell us about?" Sam asked.

Logan looked at me and ushered for me to start.

I took a deep breath.

"First of all, what happened with Taylor?" I asked. Logan and I have already told them about what Taylor and we were informed that he's disappeared since the recent rogue attack.

"We still can't trace him." Sam's beta replied.

"I think he's helping Maxwell attack our pack, I felt my pearl's warmth really close to the territory." I informed them.

A low growl escaped Logan's lips as he clenched his fist.

I held his hand between mine and rubbed soothing circles of the back of his hand. He instantly relaxed and leaned closer, taking a deep breath of my scent.

"Why would he do that, he already has your pearl?" Alexis asked.

"I don't think that he only wants the pearl and that's it. He wants to rule, it has always been his goal, to become the king and the most powerful werewolf." My grandfather gritted out.

"Do you think he's waiting until Eva..." Claire trailed out but was stopped by Logan's deep growl.

"Maybe. Logan will be in his weakest state and won't be able to fight properly." Sam's third agreed.

Logan growled again. "Stop saying that! Eva won't be going anywhere and she most definitely won't be leaving. If Maxwell is close then we find him and bring Eva her pearl back!" He snapped angrily as he pulled me closer to his chest.

Sam sighed. "We'll find him Logan, I promise."

Logan said nothing and just kept his head buried in the crook of my neck. I raised my hands to his hair and ran my fingers through it soothingly.

I saw the rest quietly leave the room.

We stayed like that for I don't know how long but I was starting to grow more and more tired.

My hand was running down Logan's hair slower and I couldn't keep my head up for long, along with my eyes that were closing on their own.

I felt myself being pushed gently onto the pillow.

Logan kissed my forehead. "Rest for a bit baby, I'll wake you up when the food is ready." He whispered and placed a soft, lingering kiss on my cheek.

I nodded weakly.

I felt him pull the duvet over our bodies then started playing with my hair, his gently touch lulling me to sleep and soon, I was pulled into oblivion.
