Ch 1 - GABRIEL
Gabriel ends his call with Xavier where he informs him of the Fae portal at The Chop Shop in Reno [from Torn Between Alphas Book]. Mikah asks what their plan is while they wait for the werewolf pack to arrive as he is afraid they will run into the goblin owner of the club. Gabriel inner dialogues his thoughts on his companion; remembering their journey to this point as well as an incident back in Vancouver. A demon spots them, and Gabriel feigns being drunk and looking for the party. He spins Mikah and kisses him to avoid breaking their cover.

Ch 2 - MIKAH
Mikah begins to enjoy the kiss and think back to Gabriel's blood being slightly spicy with a hint of must before he breaks off the kiss. Remembering the demon, Gabriel continues with his act, pretending he believes to be on the lust floor. The demon tells them it's three floors up and returns to guard the portal room. Gabriel decides to lead them to the lust floor while they wait. There, Mikah senses a familiar scent, but is unable to name it. Gabriel grabs Mikah onto the dance floor as a way to blend in. He tries to ignore the Fae magic, but feels the pull to lose his control to feed off of Gabriel.

Ch 3 - GABRIEL
Gabriel enjoys his time dancing, teasing Mikah about being a stick in the mud. He asks him when was the last time he danced with someone; Mikah responds 1988 New York City. While they dance, Mikah scopes out a back door that needs a key and is being guarded by a demon. He then decides to spin Mikah into the demon so they crash into him.

Ch 4 - MIKAH
Upset with Gabriel for almost blowing their cover to get more intel at the club by crashing into the demon, he finds him again pretending to be drunk. Now upset that he had to figure out whatever plan Gabriel didn't share with him, he apologizes to the demon to 'take care' of the drunk Gabriel. He leads him away from the guard and asks what Gabriel is up to. He responds by pulling out a keycard from out of his sleeve. They watched the guard for the opportunity to go through when Mikah again senses something familiar, but is not able to identify. They go through the back door, which is silent on the other side, and then Gabriel's cellphone ringtone blasts on.

Ch 5 - MIKAH
Gabriel manages to turn off his cell phone ringer and they wait to see if the noise has given away their location. Xavier had messaged him that they were on an airplane with Maya, Colton, and Lola. Mikah notices the hallway they are standing in is covered in Fae glamour magic and leads Gabriel through it. When they get to the next door, Gabriel uses a credit card to jimmy their way inside. They find themselves in a room with humans who are waiting to get inside the club. They hear a scream, and look through a window to find two demons escorting a woman through the hallway. They realize the humans are enchanted when the woman continues to scream she has been looking for her sister who has been missing for three days. Unfortunately, the room is a dead and, and the demons are about to discover them inside.

Ch 6 - GABRIEL
A fight ensues with Gabriel killing his demon and Mikah putting his demon in a choke hold. They argue about how each handled their targets. They realize the humans in the room have lost the enthrallment spell linked to the demons and are no longer in a trance. The woman that had been brought in by the demons demands to know what is going on. She tells them her name is Tabitha and continues to question them. Mikah tells the humans that he's getting them out of there as long as they calm down and wait. They go back out the door and start to argue about their vampire and werewolf natures when they find that Tabitha has followed them.

Ch 7 - MIKAH
Tabitha informs the two that she is going to rescue her sister. Gabriel says it's too dangerous and tells her to return to the waiting room. Mikah notices that she's different than the other humans in that she was able to avoid the enthrallment and was brought in by the demons. She was also not afraid of finding the vampire and werewolf and threatening them, so she could either make their mission more complicated or she can come with them. They come to a door where Gabriel and him are unable to touch due to a protection spell. However, Tabitha was unaffected by the Fae magic. They go up the stairs to another door where Tabitha is about to open, until they hear voices on the other side. They overhear that their security breach has been detected and that human workers are being trafficked to work in the Fae mines.

Ch 8 - GABRIEL
Mikah tells them he sense three people behind the door. Tabitha starts to wonder what the two are talking about with all the messages about werewolves, packs, vampires, and portals. She starts to panic when Mikah tells her she still has a chance to wait with the other humans. She decides to forget about all of that and focus on finding her sister. Gabriel insists on leaving her behind with the other humans when she threatens to scream. They continue to bicker until Tabitha finds out that Mikah is a private investigator and Gabriel is not getting paid for being on this job. She then requests to become Gabriel's client then.

Ch 9 - GABRIEL
Gabriel tells Tabitha that she would have to pay him one million dollars to find her sister, which he inflates his rate by a few hundreds of thousands of dollars. She accepts his fee and they go back into the club. Gabriel notices that Mikah keeps sniffing the air and ask why he keeps doing it. Mikah says he has a feeling he can't shake and decides to take off the Lust floor to downstairs, which is Gluttony. They decide to sit at a table in the corner of the room and try to blend in. Gabriel encourages them to eat, but only Tabitha is unable to stomach it. But, Mikah and Gabriel eat it and realize they've been drugged.

Ch 10 - MIKAH
Mikah realizes he's been drugged much like the time at Lottie's weed farm. He hallucinates he's in a Victorian home waltzing, then in a casino in Singapore, and then to his childhood. Tabitha manages to make both Mikah and Gabriel snap out of their drug high, and drags them to a restroom. The demon guard comes into the bathroom and is about to attack them, but the lights go out. There are sounds of a scuffle, and when the lights come back on, a Fae man is standing with the demon guard on the floor - and he greets Mikah.

Ch 11 - MIKAH
The Fae man is Adair, who Mikah has known in the past. Mikah tries to ignore him and continue with the current job, but Gabriel insists on knowing more details. He tells them they don't want to get involved with Adair. But, Tabitha wants to know why he's there, and Adair realizes she is not affected by his magic. Tabitha begins to panic because she was thinking they were just role playing supernatural roles. But, she's set on finding her sister even if they have to go through the portal. They try to leave Adair behind, but he tells them that nobody is going through the portal because he's here to destroy it.

Ch 12 - GABRIEL
Gabriel is upset with Adair because he is a potential threat to the completion of this job, but Mikah is the one who voices that every time Adair shows up, he ruins everything. Gabriel begins to wonder what their history is. Tabitha asks if Adair can wait to destroy it after they use it, and he asks what he gets in return. They talk making a deal, Gabriel states they should work together, and Adair says Mikah owes him a favor to be collected at his discretion. Tabitha accepts the deal. Adair asks what the plan is, but nobody has one - except Tabitha who tells him to use her as bait.

Ch 13 - GABRIEL
Mikah refuses to have Tabitha use herself as bait. Adair laughs at Mikah's companions entertainment value and decides to waive the deal for a freebie. They notice the guards are walking around more and Adair tells them not to worry because he used magic to disguise the guards they knocked out. They step onto another floor which is a casino, and Gabriel leads them to a craps table. They begin to play until Gabriel starts getting angry at Adair and Mikah and Tabitha points out that he's jealous.

Ch 14 - GABRIEL
Gabriel is so enraged about Mikah and Adair, that Tabitha snaps him out of it, and he realizes they are on the Envy floor. Xavier calls as they are driving now and want to know how to prepare themselves. Mikah tells them they need to get into position, and Tabitha check in on Gabriel wondering if he can keep it together long enough to help her. Gabriel wonders why he had such strong feelings towards Mikah. They hear the security guards telling Xavier that packs aren't allowed inside and is about to start a fight.

Ch 15 - MIKAH
Xavier, Colton, Maya, and Lola fight the security guards while Mikah, Gabriel, Adair, and Tabitha wonder how they will defuse the situation to keep a low profile. Mikah gets Adair to take care of the situation, pretending he is working with management since he is Fae, and guides the werewolf pack to the group. Maya is suspicious of Adair and Mikah while Lola is wondering who Tabitha is. While they are on their way to the portal, Mikah notices that Adair uses his magic to keep some of the guards from noticing them. Adair offers to lead Tabitha, their bait, so that he can convince whoever he encounters he's meant to be there. Then, he will knock out a guard and steal their uniform. Mikah reminds him of the deal, they open the door, and the portal is not there.

Ch 16 - GABRIEL
The group wonders what happened to the Fae portal and begin pointing fingers, and come to the conclusion it must have been Adair. Adair tells them that they must have moved the portal to prevent random people coming upon it, like themselves. He uses his Fae magic to locate where it might have moved to, and tells them its up by the administrative offices. Gabriel tells the group he's got the keycard to access the area. They get there and hear a scream on the other side of the door.

Ch 17 - GABRIEL
They rush inside and find the demon guards are hauling humans towards the Fae portal. Adair casts a stealth spell on them. Gabriel tells the other werewolves that humans are brought to the club, magicked, and trafficked into slave labor in the Fae world. Mikah insists on saving the humans, Lola agrees, and Xavier concedes saying it's something Cali would do. They begin to fight, but Xavier shifts which triggers the magical sensors to set off an alarm. All the wolves shift and clear out the demon guards and their reinforcements until Gabriel hears Tabitha screaming as she's being dragged up the stairs to the Fae portal by a demon.

Ch 18 - MIKAH
Mikah is conflicted as he wants to save Tabitha but he had also promised the humans he would save them as well. Lola assures Mikah she will watch over the humans so he can rescue Tabitha. He meets Gabriel at the stairs, and Adair joins them. Mikah warns Adair of Fae magic spelled on the door and he begins to inspect it. Xavier, Colton, and Maya join them at the top of the stairs, and Colton immediately tries to open the door. The door opens, but Colton starts to convulse, while Adair tells them he was only able to take down half the barrier so he's alive but out of commission for now. Xavier, Gabriel, Mikah, and Adair make it to the portal room where the demon guard is holding Tabitha and the goblin club owner are waiting for them. Adair tells the goblin that the ones he serves are going to fall soon. The goblin laughs and summons four Minotaurs from the portal.

Ch 19 - GABRIEL
Gabriel shifts and instantly tries to attack a Minotaur, and gets tossed like a rag doll. Mikah tells him to aim for the head. Adair tells them he has an idea, and orders them to form a line and link arms. He gathers the combined energy of them and summons an energy whip and knocks one of the Minotaurs out. They begin to fight and move toward Tabitha who was still being dragged to the portal by the demon. Lola appears to tell Mikah the humans are safe for now, and jumps on the demon. While everyone is fighting, Gabriel notices Adair looking through the desk drawers and hide something into his coat pocket. Colton regains consciousness and him and Maya join the fray. More monsters are coming through the portal when Adair uses his energy whip on it.

Ch 20 - MIKAH
Mikah is disappointed that Adair was going to betray them by destroying the Fae portal before they had a chance to go through it. Together with Gabriel, they attack Adair and prevent him from harming the portal before Xavier can get through. Gabriel turns his back on Adair to inform Xavier his only chance of going through the portal, when Adair attacks him. But, Mikah blocks the attack while Xavier dives through the portal. Maya knocks out the goblin club owner with a stone and tries to go through the portal with the remaining wolves, but Adair blocks them, stating that the deal is done since Xavier had already gone through. He then shatters the mirror-portal.

Ch 21 - GABRIEL
There is chaos after the portal blasts them, something is burning with lots of smoke, and alarms are ringing. He frantically searches for Mikah; when he finds him he wonders why he feels so strongly for him. They ask Adair if Xavier actually made it through the portal before he destroyed it, and he tells them he's sure he did. (Remember: Last chapter, Maya had knocked out the goblin club owner with a stone) The goblin club owner is said to have been knocked out by Lola but is now regaining consciousness. Gabriel grabs the goblin and demands more information, which he tells them there isn't another portal in this hemisphere. Gabriel keeps the goblin in hopes of getting more out of him. Maya tells them they need to get out of the club but Tabitha reminds them that she's still looking for her sister. The wolves start arguing and Mikah breaks up their fighting while Adair watches in amusement. The goblin takes his chance to get away.

Ch 22 - MIKAH
They group goes after the goblin who could have more information or be a source of leverage if they needed it. They run through the maze of the crumbling building until they lose him on the Lust floor. Mikah sees the humans he told to wait for him and goes to save them. Gabriel goes after the goblin, but he is affected by the Lust magic. Mikah and his group of humans are also affected, with the woman he was holding hands with starting to kiss him. Tabitha comes to his rescue by removing the woman from him, slapping him out of the trance. Adair tells him that the Fae magic isn't being contained anymore and they will lose their minds if they stay.

Ch 23 - GABRIEL
Gabriel tries to fight the Lust magic, but is having a hard time fantasizing about the guy he's dancing with as Mikah. Tabitha rescues him from joining an orgy by yanking him by the ear and slapping him in the face. She orders Adair to take Mikah and the humans out of the room while she goes to rescue the other werewolves. Lola is dancing with a group of humans while Colton and Maya are making out on a couch. They make it out of the room and Gabriel tells Mikah they can't protect all the humans. He agrees and instructs the humans how to get out of the club on their own. They spot the goblin club owner and chase him to the Wrath level where he flips a master switch. The building begins to fall apart.

Ch 24 - MIKAH
As the building begins to self destruct, the people on the Wrath floor begin to panic and trample the group apart. Gabriel carries Tabitha around his neck to protect her and the group meets up in the stairwell. They follow the chaos down the stairwell while chunks of ceiling come crashing down. Maya is almost thrown over the stair railing with Colton saving her, and Mikah realizes he's lost Tabitha. When he finds her, she's further down the stairwell, but is trying to get back inside the club. He reaches her and tries to pull her back, but she reminds him she is looking for her sister. He drags her towards the exit while she fights against it, and they manage to escape followed by Colton holding an unconscious Maya. Lola and Adair both jump out when the building collapses. That's when Mikah realizes Gabriel is not with them.

Ch 25 - MIKAH
Mikah asks the group if they had seen Gabriel on their way out. Tabitha gets upset at Mikah for dragging her out of there. He starts searching the area for Gabriel and starts panicking when he sees mangled bodies that didn't make it out. Tabitha and Lola help him look through the rubble with Adair joining them - after he fixed the glamour on himself. Adair refuses to help looking for Gabriel, and instead watches as Mikah digs while following Gabriel's scent. He finds him and Gabriel's body goes limp.

Ch 26 - MIKAH
Gabriel is okay, but Mikah wonders what is taking him so long to heal, and realizes his lower half is pinned by rubble. Mikah removes a boulder and blood starts pouring from a wound in Gabriel's right thigh. He calls to the others that he's found Gabriel and realizes he's pretty far away, which meant that he wasn't escaping from the building when it went down. Gabriel tells Mikah he was trying to get the goblin to question him, but the goblin next to him was dead. They ask Adair if there is another Fae portal since the goblin can't answer anymore. Adair tells them that their deal is done and doesn't think any portals are close by, but if there was one, he didn't feel the need to tell them. They notice that humans were starting to gather around the scene and take cell phone pictures and sirens in the distance. Lola tells Mikah the rest of them will help dig Gabriel out, but he is needed with Tabitha. She starts showing random people a cell phone picture and asking if they've seen her sister. The police arrive and Mikah tries to get Tabitha to leave with them, which she refuses.

Ch 27 - GABRIEL
Gabriel takes stock of what he's experienced throughout the night and hopes that their group can disappear before the cops find them. Lola helps him over to Tabitha and Mikah and reminds them they need to leave. Tabitha refuses to leave without Dani, her sister. Gabriel reasons with her that they won't be able to look for her with law enforcement blocking them, and she agrees. Gabriel wants Mikah to bring the dead goblin, but he refuses. The wolves go to their car while Mikah, Gabriel, Tabitha, and Adair go to the other. Gabriel is upset that Adair not only stole the passenger seat, but that he's still tagging along with them. Tabitha tells Gabriel she doesn't like Adair, and they agree to both keep an eye on him. They pull off the side of the road and discuss their next step, Mikah instructing them to follow them to their motel. Once there, Colton threatens Adair.

Ch 28 - MIKAH
Colton demands to know how he can follow Xavier into the Fae world. Mikah reasons that they should all talk and not draw further attention to themselves out in the parking lot, ushering them to the second floor room six. Mikah notices that the wolves were still semi-injured and concludes that the club had tampered with their healing abilities. Once everyone is in the room, Colton continues questioning Adair and wondering why he was still there if he was unwilling to help them. Adair tells them that he could be useful but if they wanted answers they would have to make a deal with him. He tells them that in the last hundred years, he's only heard of portals at the Chop Shop and Haystack Rock. Colton wonders if they can use Adair's blood at Haystack Rock. Adair jumps away from Colton and knocks into Tabitha before he disappears in a cloud of smoke. The group wonder what they are supposed to do now that the Fae disappeared when Tabitha informs them that she stole a book off of Adair before he disappeared.

Ch 29 - GABRIEL
Gabriel is proud of Tabitha for being able to see Adair as a threat and stealing from him the first chance she got. He recognizes the notebook she took as the one he had stolen from the desk in the portal room. Colton takes the book and starts paging through it, telling them it's a ledger. Mikah checks in on Gabriel who is still bitter that he stood up for Adair. Colton finishes the book and concludes there's nothing in there to help their cause, and Lola suggests they should return to the pack to help Joss. Maya insists they continue the search for Xavier and Cali. Tabitha, who's reading the ledger now, asks who Silas is.

Ch 30 - GABRIEL
Colton grabs the ledger out of Tabitha's hands to make sure that Silas' name was truly in there. She shows Colton that the book is not just about profits and losses for the club but a list of the humans they trafficked and where they were transferred to. A lot of the humans were delivered to The Kollector and others but the entry with her sister Dani is listed as a gift to Silas. Colton tells Tabitha that Silas is his father and that he's sorry that her sister is with him, because whatever the reason, it is bad news. Mikah reasons with Tabitha that the ledger had stated she was given as a gift, so it's safe to say she would be safe for now. Gabriel tells the other wolves that if Silas is involved, they should return to their pack. Maya agrees because the pack is absent the Alpha (Greyson is in the Fae world with Cali) and now Xavier (who followed them through the portal) and he is the only one left with Alpha blood. Gabriel promises to keep a lookout for Xavier while they return. Tabitha refuses to let the wolves go as she wants them to help her find her sister. Colton gets angry, shifts, and is about to attack her when Gabriel shifts and mind links with him to back off.

Ch 31 - MIKAH
While Colton and Gabriel face off in their wolf forms, Mikah motions for Tabitha to come to him for safety. When they shift back to their human forms, Tabitha is surprised that they are naked, and runs into the bathroom. Before Colton and company leave, he tells them to ensure that Tabitha keeps her mouth shut about the supernatural beings she encountered. Gabriel asks Mikah for a pair of pants as his change of clothes are still in the car. They both reach for Mikah's duffle bag and Mikah loses his balance, grabbing at Gabriel's butt for support, and ends up leading both of them on the bed.

Ch 32 - GABRIEL
Gabriel and Mikah have a moment on sexual tension on the bed before Tabitha opens the door and interrupts them. She awkwardly insists that Gabriel find some clothes, instead he covers himself up with a bedsheet until Mikah hands him a pair of pants. Tabitha wants to plan their next step in finding Silas who has Dani but Mikah wants them to think things through first. Gabriel tells Mikah they are going back to the club to search for more information and he informs them he will be coming along. They return to the scene where the police had placed yellow tape around the area, but is pretty empty. They search around but only find the goblin corpse and Mikah asks if Gabriel knows anything about necromancy.

Ch 33 - GABRIEL
Mikah tells them that they can take the goblin body to a necromancer that he knows to help reanimate him, which upsets Gabriel because he did not mention this information earlier. They decide to bring the body back to the motel and rest up before heading off to his necromancer contact. Gabriel stuffs the goblin in the minibar to keep him cool. Mikah tells Tabitha to take one bed while him and Gabriel share the other one, she refuses, but Mikah tells her there aren't any other room available and the other option is to sleep in the car. While they fix up the beds, Tabitha is outside on her cell phone. Gabriel overhears her side of the conversation, catching that she doesn't believe Dani ran away but taken and that she's not giving up because she doesn't care about college. She then screams that she doesn't care about the money, which Gabriel asks her about when she returns. She asks why he's listening in on her phone calls, and he responds that if she doesn't have money, how will she pay him for the job.

Ch 34 - GABRIEL
Gabriel changes tactics and apologizes for overhearing her conversation, asking if she's okay. Tabitha tells him she's in conflict with her family but he will get paid. She writes a check for $10,000 for him to cash immediately if he's still unsure. They return to the room where Mikah is reading a book about a cholera outbreak in London; he wonders if Mikah will be leaving them soon as he never accepted the job or money. He gets into an argument with him before Tabitha comes out of the bathroom and he goes to shower. When he gets out, both Tabitha and Mikah are sleeping. He gets into bed when Mikah, in his sleep, starts spooning Gabriel who now doesn't think he can get any sleep.

Ch 35 - MIKAH
Mikah awakens and realizes Gabriel is sleeping next to him, and Gabriel awakens realizing Mikah is awake which he falls off the bed. Tabitha comes out of the bathroom and ushers the group to head out. Mikah remembers the goblin body in the minibar and brings it along; Gabriel makes Tabitha sit in the backseat. On the ride to the necromancer's house, Mikah gives them a heads up on who they are seeing. He warns them that there will be payment expected. They drive into the desert and Mikah thinks about Gabriel asking him to stay on the mission after they see the necromancer.

Ch 36 - GABRIEL
Mikah grabs the goblin from the trunk while Gabriel wakes up Tabitha to meet the necromancer, Rain. Gabriel wonders who Rain is to Mikah to have them greet each other as close buddies. They go inside and inform Rain that they are actually there for his services, and he tells them he hasn't done a resurrection in a long time so the price will be steep. Gabriel states they are willing to pay anything. They setup and Rain tells them that they need to have their questions ready because once the body is reanimated, it will only last a few minutes, and he cannot reanimate someone twice.

Ch 37 - MIKAH
The moment the goblin reanimates, Tabitha asks where her sister is. He replies in garbled language, and she asks Rain why they can't understand him. Rain tells her to be more specific. Gabriel then asks the goblin about the last time he saw Silas, if he said anything about where he was going next. The goblin replies, No. Mikah asks the goblin if he knew what would happen to the human girl when he gave her to Silas. The goblin replies, No. Tabitha asks if the goblin knows if the human girl is alive and safe. The goblin replies, No. Tabitha gets frustrated and Rain tells them they have time for one more question. Mikah asks the goblin if he heard or saw anything in the club to that hinted where Silas was going. The goblin replied, East and then dissolved into a puddle of goo. They decide to try heading in that direction before Rain requests his payment, specifically from Mikah. Rain requests a death memory, and has Mikah relieve one so that he can draw the energy from it. He accepts and is pulled into the memory of the death of his human bride.

Ch 38 - GABRIEL
Gabriel is holding Mikah's hand while Rain is performing the death memory extraction. A red misty glow comes out of Mikah's chest and into Rain's hands when he tells Tabitha to bring him an empty jar. Tabitha asks Rain if he has any magic that can fight off Silas. He tells her he doesn't but she's not entirely helpless; and tells her she has no aura or energy. Mikah is still in a trance, and Rain tells them the memory he pulled was too strong. His reaction is not normal but a possibility, and needs his anchor to reach into the memory and pull him out because he's currently lost in it. Rain tells him his choices are to go into his memory and hopefully get both of them out or leave Mikah forever in limbo. He goes into the memory, finds Mikah holding the dead woman, and hugs him.

Ch 39 - GABRIEL
They are rushed back to reality, but Mikah is still traveling in and out of consciousness. Gabriel asks Rain what's going on, but he says it's just blowback from the memory but it will fade. It will be like a bad trip for a few hours, but he will be okay. Gabriel carries Mikah out to the car and he goes to sleep in the backseat. Gabriel decides to head back to Reno and then they would most likely head East. Tabitha asks Gabriel what he saw in Mikah's memory, he remembers it and has many questions about it, but doesn't tell her anything. Suddenly, Mikah awakens and tells them he's thirsty. Gabriel pulls off into a gas station and sends Tabitha to the convenience store. He goes into the back and offers his wrist, but Mikah pulls him into the back seat and tells him he's rather do something else with him.

Ch 40 - GABRIEL
Gabriel wonders if Mikah is lucid enough to know what is happening or if Mikah thought he was someone else. Tabitha comes back out and interrupts them thinking that Gabriel was being attacked but chastised them for wanting to be alone. Gabriel asks Mikah if he needs blood, which he declines. They get back on the road and Mikah asks them what happened at Rain's place as the last thing he remembers is the goblin telling them to head East. Gabriel and Tabitha don't mention the death memory extraction, only the plan that they were going in the direction they were told. Gabriel wonders if they would ever find Tabitha's sister or if they did, she was past saving. Suddenly, they find Adair in the middle of the road with his energy whips.

Ch 41 - MIKAH
Mikah has a dream about him and Gabriel on the road, they pull into a gas station where they wash their car and fight playfully. But, the dream shifts into the memory of him at night in the rain, holding his dead wife Lina. It shifts again to him holding Gabriel's dead body. And, he awakens when Adair yells at the group for stealing from him. Adair is furious that they stole from him and he is there to ensure it is returned to its proper owner. Tabitha gets out of the car and tells Adair she didn't steal his ledger, but she was borrowing it to find her sister. Adair focuses his anger on her, and is about to unleash his Dark Fae magic when Mikah lunges to protect her.

Ch 42 - MIKAH
Mikah touches Adair's arm and is blown back by an energy force, knocking into Gabriel. Adair snaps his whip but misses Tabitha's shoulder. Mikah asks why Adair is so scared of his client and failing this job. Adair states they owe him a favor and he's calling it, even though using the favor means to get back what was already his. Mikah presses Adair for more on his scared behavior; Adair tells him that he's not letting him get involved and omission is a sign of protecting him. Tabitha interrupts them, accusing them of flirting, and asks Gabriel if they can leave. She runs inside the car and tries to run him over, but he disappears before she makes contact. He reappears behind the car and uses his whips to spin it off the road. Gabriel decides to take matter into his own hands, shifts, and attacks Adair.

Ch 43 - GABRIEL
Gabriel is upset Mikah has not handled business with Adair attributing it to his history with him, his vision quest with Rain, and getting knocked in the head when he was blasted. He attacks Adair and they battle with Mikah getting hurt trying to stop them. This makes Gabriel take pause and Adair uses this advantage to use his whip. This paralyzes Gabriel and Mikah retaliates in fury taking Adair down. Tabitha takes a cell phone picture of the page in the ledger and tosses the notebook towards Adair to get the fight to stop. Adair is about to leave when he zaps two tires flat and disappears.

Ch 44 - MIKAH
The group try to figure out what to do now that they were stranded out in the middle of the desert and there is no cell phone service. They start arguing about who's fault it is that they are in their current situation when Mikah orders Tabitha to steer while Gabriel and him push the car. While pushing, Mikah wonders what happened to Adair to make him act in such a way, and why he was trying to cover his tracks. Gabriel starts questioning Mikah about his past with Adair, which he ignores, until they find civilization. They get to the gas station when Tabitha receives a call she believes is from her sister.

Ch 45 - MIKAH
Tabitha answers the phone but she is unable to hear anything on the line. Frustrated, he questions if it was because the call was dropped or she was in trouble. She frantically searches for a spot with better reception and attempts to call her back, but receives a voicemail, and she falls apart. Mikah goes to comfort her and sends Gabriel to get help. He reaffirms his promise to Tabitha that Gabriel and him have stuck with her thus far and will not abandon her. Gabriel returns with Gus, the gas station attendant, who fixes the tires until the gas tank door pops open on it's own. Gus tells them that Elizabeth Harper passed away fifty years ago and her ghost has been acting different since a stranger came through town with some new energy a few weeks ago. He goes on to describe the stranger with brown hair and angry eyes carrying a blue glowing orb. They realize this is Silas.

Ch 46 - GABRIEL
Gabriel asks Gus more questions about Silas, without luck. Mikah redirects the conversation to the cost of Gus replacing the tires, and he goes inside to check. They begin to discuss that Silas might have been there and Mikah tells them that the ghost is the key because they are the best at tracking auras and energy signals. If Silas had come through town, they should enlist the help of the ghost to pick up his trail. Gabriel only half agrees with Mikah, but it's the best choice they have. Gus returns with the price of the tires ($356) and they ask him more about the ghost; and he explains that she drowned. Tabitha hands her credit card over, but Gus explains it's going to take a while to run the transaction. He offers they could speak to the ghost's sister Miriam who lives by the lake. They walk over to they house and Tabitha points at a lady in a white nightgown in the second story window.

Ch 47 - GABRIEL
At Miriam's house, Gabriel tells them how much he's against the whole plan of getting a ghost to help them. They meet Miriam and Mikah introduces himself as a licensed private investigator who heard about Elizabeth from Gus. Miriam is suspicious that they are actually tax collectors until Tabitha speaks up that she's actually looking for her sister. Miriam invites them inside.

Ch 48 - MIKAH
Miriam leads them to a sitting room and offers them refreshments. While Mikah declines, Gabriel happily accepts; although she had only asked out of politeness. She returns with expired chips, but Gabriel happily munches on it. They talk about Silas coming through town, but she doesn't have any new information regarding him. Tabitha asks about Elizabeth and if they could speak with her. She is reluctant, so Mikah asks about her version of the story on Elizabeth's death. She tells them that Elizabeth was a champion swimmer and swam the lake everyday twice a day. One night, fifty years ago, she went swimming and never came back. They got out to the lake and summon her.

Ch 49 - MIKAH
Elizabeth's ghost comes out of the lake wearing a swimsuit and has black eyes, but she has a feeling of wrongness to her. Tabitha and Gabriel are terrified when Elizabeth speaks, so Mikah greets her and asks her about Silas. Elizabeth turns to Tabitha and tells her, "She needs your help." Tabitha forgets her fear and starts asking more questions in desperation, but only tells them, "You can't change fate." Gabriel gets frustrated and Elizabeth gets upset blaming them for cursing her into this existence. She loses control and starts after them, and Gabriel throws his bag of chips at her face in self defense. She disappears and Mikah tells him that salt is a deterrent to ghosts. Then Elizabeth's voice tells them they will regret attacking her.

Ch 50 - MIKAH
Mikah is disappointed on how everything had turned out, from one failure to another, and blames Gabriel for losing Elizabeth. They realize Tabitha is crying, and she tells them she wants to get going since their lead with the ghost was a bust. They walk back to the gas station and Tabitha asks Mikah how Silas is different from all the other supernatural creatures they had encountered. Mikah wonders since Silas was probably one of the most powerful Alphas that have ever lived, and now he has an orb to give him the power over the dead, what would he need Dani for? They get to the gas station and realize their car is on fire, and Gus was trying to put it out. Gabriel asks what happened and Gus tells him that Elizabeth is upset, that she prevents people from leaving the town.

Ch 51 - GABRIEL
Gabriel scoffs telling them that should have listened to him when he said he didn't mess with ghosts. He tells them if Gus can't fix it or get them a new car, they should steal one and get out of the town. But, Mikah wants to help the town by taking care of their ghost problem. Tabitha breaks up their fight and asks Gus about their car, but he starts crying about Elizabeth. She comforts him while Mikah and Gabriel continue their argument about what they need to do. Mikah asks Gus for a place for them to spend the night. Gus offers his spare room above the garage while he gets an estimate for the repair. He mumbles that Lizzie won't let them go even if he does fix their car; and they wonder just how well Gus knew Elizabeth.

Ch 52 - GABRIEL
Gabriel complains about their room while Mikah offers Tabitha the bed and tells Gabriel that they will take the sofa. Gabriel complains about them sharing the loveseat, and how he doesn't think just a one overnight stay will cut it. Tabitha gets upset that they don't see time is of the essence in finding Dani and goes out for some air. Gabriel decides they should question Gus more on what he knows about Lizzie the ghost. Tabitha returns and apologizes, Mikah and Gabriel encourage her to get some rest so they can continue dealing with things in the morning, and she goes to the bathroom to get ready for bed. When Gabriel finishes in the bathroom, Tabitha is already asleep, and he settles with Mikah on the couch.

Ch 53 - MIKAH
Mikah awakens in a chair in front of the garage because he had drawn a line between him and Gabriel, and he was close to kissing him last night. He is afraid to get too close to someone as it never ends well for them. He goes back to the room and finds that Tabitha and Gabriel are still sleeping, so he finds squirrels and rabbits for his breakfast. He decides to get more intel from the diner, and talks to the waitress. She tells him that Bob was Elizabeth's high school boyfriend and a suspect in her drowning incident. Before he can get any more information, Gabriel storms in angrily. A patron sitting next to Mikah asks if he's interested in more info on the Harper murder because he knows that Miriam did it.

Ch 54 - GABRIEL
Gabriel is upset that not only did Mikah reject him the previous night, and he went further to sleep by himself on a chair outside, but he was gone in the morning without saying anything. He overhears the patron saying Miriam killed Elizabeth and Mikah informs him that he has a lead with Bob who works at the hardware store. They go confront Bob, with Gabriel taking lead and upsetting him. Bob tries to kick them out of the store but Gabriel insists on getting some answers until the ghost of Elizabeth appears and throws Gabriel through the glass window.

Ch 55 - MIKAH
Mikah panics at seeing Gabriel in the middle of the street, surrounded by glass, and red...paint. Elizabeth's ghost demands they stop prying into her life and to leave the townspeople alone. Bob begs to talk to her as well but she tell him to mind his own business and leave the past in the past. Tabitha joins them and Mikah warns the ghost that they have some tricks up their sleeves. Before Elizabeth can respond, Gus comes and begs her to stop, and she disappears. Mikah wonders what Bob has to discuss with a 50-yr-old ghost and what is the history with Gus. He tells the others he believes that there was a love triangle that contributed to her death.

Ch 56 - MIKAH
They head back to the garage where Gus tells them he's ordering parts for their car, asking Tabitha for her credit card again. Mikah takes point this time and asks Gus what he's hiding in regard to Elizabeth. Gus closes up and refuses to talk about it any further. Tabitha decides to get something to eat first before they plan their next step. Gabriel and Mikah have a moment where they agree they can be pretty good partners, but Gabriel decides to ask Mikah about the death memory he saw. Mikah gets very upset and tells him to never mention it again.

Ch 57 - GABRIEL
Gabriel realized that even though they were making progress in their relationship, he might have overstepped boundaries when asking about old wounds - even if he was the one who rescued him from reliving it. They decide to drop it and find Tabitha, who is crying over her breakfast in the diner. They bicker over who should be the one to talk to her, but Mikah insists Gabriel do the talking while he is just backup. They decide to take it easy the rest of the day while Gus fixes their car and they recharge. Later that evening, they are in their room when they hear shattered glass downstairs. They investigate and find Gus drunk and mumbling that Lizzie was the love of his life and he was responsible for her death.

Ch 58 - GABRIEL
Gabriel thinks they've finally solved the case and suggests they push Gus into the lake to solve their ghost problem. Mikah insists on finding out more because Gus is swimming in bourbon. Tabitha takes point this time and manages to have Gus explain the story. Lizzie had dated Bob first but later wanted to date Gus but her family wouldn't approve. So, they would meet on the island at the center of the lake at night. The night she died, they met and he had wanted to go public with their relationship, but she refused to tell her family or her dad would send her away. So, he broke up with her, and she was really mad. They had been drinking and he told her not to go in the water but she went anyways. Gabriel asked why he never told anyone about this accident, and Gus cries that he blamed himself but didn't want to be actually blamed for it. Gabriel suggests to bring Gus to Elizabeth when she appears and yells at Tabitha that Gus is hers. She grabs Tabitha and they both vanish.

Ch 59 - MIKAH
Mikah starts panicking about Tabitha being taken and Gabriel punches him to knock him back to reality. Gus is also panicking in his drunken stupor, but insists that Elizabeth won't hurt Tabitha. Angry and afraid for Tabitha, they drag Gus with them to the lake. Elizabeth appears with a knocked out Tabitha and Gus wails he's sorry and has been haunted with grief. This upsets her but she drops Tabitha on the ground, warning them to stay away from her while sending them flying into sand. Miriam notices the madness and runs out to Elizabeth. The ghost tells them she hears voices of other ghosts, that the orb burns and holds the power of life and death. She sends Gabriel and Tabitha into the lake while wind starts whipping around, and they are both held back by an invisible force. Mikah realizes they will drown and everyone starts trying to reason with Elizabeth. The ghost tells them she's burning from the inside as a punishment for her lies and keeping her love a secret.

Ch 60 - MIKAH
Mikah begs Elizabeth to let them go, that he can't lose Gabriel, until he manages to get through the barrier and Elizabeth disappears. Mikah uses his supernatural powers to get to dive to where he last saw Tabitha and Gabriel - and finds Tabitha first, handing her to Miriam and Gus before returning for Gabriel. He finds Gabriel and notices he's not breathing. He begins compressions until Tabitha yells to do mouth to mouth. Multiple rounds of CPR and Gabriel was still without breath or heartbeat, and Mikah slams his fist on his chest not believing he has lost Gabriel. This brings him back, vomiting large amount of lake water, but Mikah is so happy he kisses him. They embrace while he gets his breath back, and they notice the wind start to pick up again as Elizabeth reappears. There was something different about her this time, a new form of energy, and she tells them the orb has made her feel things for the first time in a long time. Lightning begins to strike.

Ch 61 - MIKAH
Lightning is striking all around them with strong wind blowing at them and deafening rumbles of thunder. Gabriel is unable to control his shifting and the humans were barely able to keep on the ground. They decide to go inside the house, with Gus continuing to talk and making her angrier. Mikah goes to protect the humans as they start flying leaving Gabriel half-shifted and battling Elizabeth. Suddenly, the temperature drops and the water starts icing over, with Elizabeth backing into the middle of the lake. Gabriel goes after her, and is able to grab her foot, when a bolt of lightning strikes both of them, and they disappear.

Ch 62 - GABRIEL
Gabriel lands in a frozen wasteland. He finds that he's alone - the house, his companions, and Elizabeth are gone. He realizes that the storm when he was fighting Elizabeth had effected his emotions and he fueled by fury, because now he felt eerily calm and also worn out. He wonders if he somehow managed to get into the Fae world. He hears a whisper of his name and sees Mikah and Tabitha, but they disappear. Elizabeth, a teenage girl, tells him that they are gone and asks how he got in.

Ch 63 - MIKAH
The storm is completely gone along with Gabriel, and Mikah is frantically searching for him around the lake. Mikah has a suspicion that someone was controlling Elizabeth and benefitted from removing Gabriel, but Tabitha insists on accompanying him to search for Gabriel. He recalls that both Elizabeth and Gabriel were struck by lightning and wonders if he evaporated into the ether, and he follows the smell of burnt plastic and faint sounds he hears of Gabriel calling out. Then he sees Gabriel's ghost running towards them, but disappears, and he thinks Gabriel is dead. He begins to panic again when another lightning storm rolls in.

Ch 64 - GABRIEL
Gabriel demands to know what's going on to the ghost of Elizabeth when he notices that she looks like a regular teenage girl. The ground begins to shake and she grabs him saying they need to get to shelter. He refuses at first, but eventually follows her to a cliff and into a cave. Elizabeth starts a small fire inside, but the flames are green colored. Elizabeth tells him they are in the spirit realm, but he's not dead because she can sense an energy from him. She says she's been blacking out, not remembering things, and waking up in places she never meant to be in. They see shadows and Elizabeth puts out the fire, telling Gabriel they wouldn't want to be seen. She tells them they recently showed up, but swarmed another spirit she knew, and hasn't seen him since. Gabriel accidentally kicks a rock and the shadows come after them.

Ch 65 - MIKAH
Tabitha tries to get Mikah away from the forest during the earthquake, but he spots Gabriel and a girl running and chases after them. A large branch is about to fall on them when Tabitha pushes Mikah out of the way. The branch missed crushing her and she explained that she thought the branch was a large wooden stake that could have killed him. He carries her while they get back to the lack and he apologizes for his behavior. They open up and she brings light to the Mikah's feelings towards Gabriel. Miriam has gone back to her house while Gus, Mikah, and Tabitha return to the garage. Mikah tells Tabitha that they need to get out of town to find Rain because he believes Gabriel is in the spirit realm. They wonder how they can get out of the town when the angry spirit is holding them there when Adair walks in.

Ch 66 - GABRIEL
Gabriel tries to shift to fight off the shadows, but finds that he can't. Suddenly, bright colors shine and scare the shadows away. The one holding the light is the woman Gabriel saw in Mikah's death memory. Elizabeth says she's seen the woman for the past couple days and asks what she's doing there. Instead, the woman asks Gabriel why he's here when he should be protecting him. She says her name is Magdalina and Gabriel confirms that she was Mikah's wife. She tells them that the light she used has weakened her but she's been there long enough to learn how to use her aura. She explains she stayed to watch over Mikah for centuries because she was worried what her death would do to him. Gabriel then asks if she's seen them make out.

Ch 67 - MIKAH
Adair tells Mikah he's back because after delivering the ledger to his boss, they now what the orb that they were talking about. After telling the story on what happened to Gabriel, Adair tells them that it's not a ghost that is preventing them from leaving. It's a dark energy, same as the orb, which is what brought him into the town to investigate. Adair agrees to help them talk to Gabriel if he can talk to Elizabeth in hopes of finding more info on the orb. Tabitha tells Adair they need to find Rain, and Adair says he will try to help get the car out of town. Adair uses his energy whips at the invisible barrier guarded by shadows keeping them in the town.

Ch 68 - GABRIEL
Magdalina tells Gabriel that privacy doesn't matter to her anymore, but she's glad Mikah is with Gabriel. She tells Elizabeth that they are on the move to keep away from the shadows since they don't get tired as spirits. Gabriel has a vision about little his sister, Ashanti, begging him not to go rouge as he is to be Alpha of his pack. In another vision, he sees his ex-Luna, Violaine, try to get him to come back. Out of the visions, he ends up back in the spirit world, but Elizabeth and Magdalina are gone. Instead, a hooded woman is there, and as she gets close to him, a snake comes out of her neck to try and bite him.

Ch 69 - MIKAH
Mikah, Tabitha, and Adair break through the invisible barrier guarded by dark spirits and begin the journey to Rain's yurt. They wonder if Rain will be willing to leave his dome to go to the ghost town or if he can even communicate with Gabriel. They mention that they will probably have to come up with some sort of payment, like Mikah had previously paid with his death memory, when Adair said he would take care of it. They get to Rain's dome and tell him they need to speak to someone in the spirit realm. They explain Gabriel is still alive and has been taken to the land of the dead from a spirit touched by a dark orb. Rain decides to help them for free as long as the Orb of Letifer is involved.

Ch 70 - GABRIEL
Gabriel, weakened to his human form, fights off the Medusa-like spirit monster. Magdalina comes to his rescue and instead attacks the woman the snake had come from. Gabriel continues fighting the snake, and when he squeezes its throat, the woman is the one that's affected. Elizabeth joins the party and cries out, startling the woman and snake, who join together and run off to the forest. Magdalina tells him that he encountered a memory stealer. Gabriel asks Elizabeth what she did when he cried out, and Magdalina tells him she does not yet know her abilities. Elizabeth leads them to a road, which Gabriel recalls in the 'real world' is the road to get into the town. They walk through town and Gabriel sees Gus, but he is unable to hear him. He asks Elizabeth to try and communicate with Gus, but she's afraid of blacking out and going dark. She attempts it and instead of making contact, Magdalina disappears.

Ch 71 - MIKAH
Mikah, Tabitha, Adair, and Rain are travelling back to the town to perform a séance. Tabitha asks Rain more about the orb, which is able to control the living and the dead. Adair lets slip that his boss is a female, and if she wants it he as to get it for her. They get to Gus who shows them that his building looked like something was trying to smash from inside out, which Gabriel thinks is Lizzie's way of showing her anger for them being able to leave the town. They perform a séance in the room, Tabitha providing an empty bag of chips as something that had belonged to Gabriel.

Ch 72 - GABRIEL
Elizabeth begins to get emotional over the disappearance of Magdalina. He attempts to calm her down and asks if she can sense Magdalina. He tells her that he thinks her emotions are tied to the spirit world and if so, she might be able to sense if Magdaline was still around. She tries but fails to sense anything. Suddenly, the ground starts to shake and a bright light appears to Gabriel. The light changes into a doorway showing Mikah and Rain. Gabriel starts trying to talk to them and realizes that Elizabeth can't see them. Rain tells Gabriel to find a mirror as it can act as a portal to the human world, and offers the one at his house that is big enough for someone to pass through. After Mikah asks if the orb is in the spirit realm the connection is cut off.

Ch 73 - MIKAH
Mikah starts yelling at Rain to get the connection back, but Rain explains Mikah was the one who broke the circle when he tried to get closer to Gabriel. Tabitha mentions that the mirror Rain told Gabriel to go through is back at Rain's yurt, which means they have to go through the barrier again. Tabitha suggests they eat dinner first, Mikah says they'll get something to go so they can leave immediately, and Rain tells them to clean their auras first by meditating. Mikah is upset everyone else is doing their own thing, so he goes to take a shower and take a nap where he dreams of the time him and Gabriel were in the hotel room and fell into bed together.

Ch 74 - GABRIEL
Gabriel is also in the dream that Mikah is having of them in the Vancouver hotel room. They are in the bed kissing until Mikah asks if Gabriel is there because they are actually experiencing their connection in real time and not a memory, they barely remember what they were doing just before their shared connection. Mikah continues with the kiss and on to a hand job where Gabriel is about to climax until he is interrupted by Elizabeth bringing him back to his reality in the spirit realm. Magdalina reappears as well and he tells them Rain's instructions. They get to the town's borders and Elizabeth is fearful of going further, and when she tries, the ground shakes and shadows surround them.

Ch 75 - MIKAH
Mikah awakens and thinks it was all a dream until he notices the bite marks on his neck made by Gabriel. He sees Rain who tells him he has the aura of a spirit following him. Tabitha is attempting to pack her things despite her one arm still in a sling and Adair gets annoyed; he uses his magic to heal her. This time when they reach the town's borders, Rain inspects the area and tells them there is nothing blocking them from leaving.

Ch 76 - GABRIEL
Gabriel grabs Elizabeth and starts running away from the shadow creatures, carrying her - and realizing he still was in a weakened human state. He asks Magdalina if she can use her powers but she tells him they are dark evil spirits that should not be manifesting as such and it's unknown what will happen if they are caught. Gabriel throws Elizabeth as he falls face first on the ground and defends himself from the shadow creatures attacking. He tries to shift as one grabs his foot and drags him back to a crack in the ground, when his wolf appears and rescues him. They manage to run to Rain's yurt, but while inside looking for the mirror, the shadows slip in and try to swam Elizabeth.

Ch 77 - MIKAH
The group make it past the barrier without trouble and race back to Rain's yurt. Rain states he feels a shift and tells them they need to hurry. Mikah and Tabitha rush into the yurt looking for the mirror when Rain finally comes in and tells them it's hidden under a blanket. Mikah focuses to see through the mirror and sees Gabriel and his wolf fighting shadows that are attacking Elizabeth. Mikah reaches his hand to the glass, begging Gabriel to grab it, and wills the barrier to thin until they are holding hands. But, at the last second, a shadow wraps around his chest and yanks him back.

Ch 78 - GABRIEL
Gabriel is being dragged back and calls out for his wolf to help him. It manages to free him and he notices Elizabeth starting to go dark, she voices that 'Elizabeth is not here right now' - They are the Shadow of Letifer, and they want him. Mikah continues to plead for him to come through the glass. Instead, he tells the shadow that they make a trade: him for Elizabeth. The shadow agrees, but instead of being able to jump through the mirror when they leave Elizabeth, he stares at Mikah. The shadow realizes the trick where Gabriel meant to have them leave Elizabeth so he could jump through with her, and they return to Elizabeth while grabbing him.

Ch 79 - MIKAH
Mikah watches as everyone disappears in darkness. He demands Rain tell him what's going on, but he doesn't give any answers. So, he decides to go into the spirit realm himself. He argues with Adair, who couldn't care less about Gabriel, and Tabitha who wonders what they are supposed to do while he's on the other side. Then, Rain steps in also against his plan, and warns that Mikah going into the spirit world is risking his immortality. Mikah thinks that his sacrifice would be worth Gabriel's life, and he goes through the mirror. He finds Gabriel in the corner of the room and kisses him, but Gabriel is upset Mikah is there, and is dragged back by a shadow. Then, Magdalina (Lina) greets him.

Ch 80 - MIKAH
Mikah and Lina are reunited, and he continues his apologies from when she died. She brushes him off stating that she's been watching over him. Before he can question things, she tells him she saw where they took Gabriel. They run through the forest, with Gabriel's wolf joining them, until they reach Elizabeth holding Gabriel. Lina tells Mikah that the soul of Elizabeth was still inside and she was being possessed by the shadows. He tries to reason with the shadows until they start attacking Lina. Mikah is then faced with the decision to save either Lina or Gabriel.

Ch 81 - MIKAH
Mikah decides that he can't fail Lina again; he was not able to protect her in life, and the fact that he would lose her in the afterlife as well made his choice. He embraces her and drags her back, away from the shadows, until they disappear. They kiss and savor the moment that they are back together, but she tells him that he can have a happy life without her. And then he realizes he abandoned Gabriel. They search through the forest for him and come upon a blood spatter, but Mikah is unable to use his senses to identify if it's Gabriel's. She tells him it must be Gabriel's because he's the only one who's in the realm that's actually alive. Mikah vows that nobody else will die because of him.

Ch 82 - GABRIEL
Gabriel replays on loop how Mikah had wanted to save him but chose Lina instead. He wonders if Mikah was able to save Lina and has totally abandoned him and begins a jealous spiral of anger and betrayal. He continues to be dragged in the forest by possessed Elizabeth and tries to talk with her without any luck. He sees that they are returning to Rain's yurt in the spirit realm and fights Elizabeth to tell him what's going on. She answers that she needs to go back to the physical plane to become fully corporeal and more powerful. He tries to stop her and in their struggle, Mikah appears to help him. But, Mikah and Elizabeth start flighting and knock into the mirror, causing it to shatter.

Ch 83 - GABRIEL
When Elizabeth sees the shattered mirror, she loses it. Lina shoots out bright light into Elizabeth's chest, which exorcises the shadows from her. Mikah goes to Lina while Gabriel helps Elizabeth but is jealous that the lovers have been reunited. Mikah tells Gabriel he saved Lina because he thought Gabriel could handle Elizabeth who was crying over the broken mirror. Gabriel remembers Tabitha and tries to make a plan as Lina and Elizabeth are out of commission, and decides they should rest up. But, Mikah tells them they are running out of time because the longer he stays the less chance he has of actually leaving.

Ch 84 - MIKAH
Gabriel demands to know what Mikah means about not being able to leave the spirit realm. Mikah explains what Rain told him about his situation about being a vampire in the spirit realm, and Gabriel gets upset. They argue while Gabriel tells Mikah that he never asked for his sacrifice, and why bother coming to save him if he didn't try to help him when he needed it. Lina breaks up their bickering and Mikah goes to comfort Elizabeth who is holding the mirror shards. They hear a noise coming from it, and find it's Rain speaking, but it's choppy - basically hurry up and find another mirror. Elizabeth packs the shard in a bag and Mikah tells the others they just need to find another mirror; but they tell him that it's rare to have one in the spirit realm. Mikah decides they should start at the town. He walks with Lina and tells her that he misses the walks they used to take. She asks him if he can't find a mirror to go back if he would consider staying with her.

Ch 85 - GABRIEL
Gabriel overhears Lina asking Mikah to stay with her in the spirit realm and he goes on a jealous spiral. By the time they reach the town, Gabriel notices Mikah never answered Lina's question. Mikah decided first stop would be the hardware store. Then they hit up the grocer, hair salon, café, clothing boutique...they had mirror frames but no mirrors. Mikah asks why Gabriel has been avoiding him, and he remarks he's giving the lovebirds privacy. Then he asks what Mikah's answer will be to Lina about staying. They get in an argument and Gabriel asks Mikah what he really wants, and he says I want you.

Ch 86 - MIKAH
Gabriel is shocked and continues to stare at Mikah who stays silent until he snaps. Gabriel gets angry and states he did not push him to saying anything, he was asking valid questions; and asks Mikah to clarify what he meant when he said I want you. Mikah tells him that this is not the time for conversation, that they needed to stay on point, but Gabriel insists that they talk about it now as Mikah has been deflecting. Suddenly, Elizabeth screams, and they run to see the girls being attacked by shadow demons. Gabriel goes to fight them off while Mikah gets the bag with the mirror shard (previously said to be packed by Elizabeth but now states it's Lina's) and digs for it. He slices his hand looking for it and calls out to Rain, which doesn't work. Lina tells Mikah she can't find the shadows and that the guys should go and leave them. He refuses and she uses her abilities to knock them back to the woods. Gabriel tells Mikah she did it to protect him and that he can't save her in the spirit realm because it won't undo anything, rewrite history, or make things right for her. Mikah realizes he's right and asks how he became so philosophical, and Gabriel answers it was when Mikah had said he wanted him.

Ch 87 - MIKAH
Gabriel continues to push the issue on finishing their conversation while Mikah does not want to face the truth that he deeply cares for Gabriel, enough to risk his life for him. He realizes that yes he does want to pursue something, but he's afraid to let his walls down. Gabriel tells Mikah that maybe Lina pushed them because she knows better that their lives have already gone in different directions. Mikah still doesn't want to have the conversation but Gabriel refuses to let him get away, asking when the right time was because he could potentially never leave and it would be too late to say anything. He pleads with Mikah that he doesn't want to leave without him. But, Mikah continues to use Lina/Elizabeth/Tabitha as an excuse to deny his feelings. Gabriel says so and calls Mikah cowardly for constantly making excuses to justify not clarifying their relationship, and kisses him.

Ch 88 - GABRIEL
The kiss is passionate until Mikah pulls away and he initiates the next sensual kiss that leads to Mikah palming Gabriel. But, they hear the girls screaming, abruptly stopping their tryst. Mikah runs towards them and they find two corvidae creatures with human like heads mimicking the girls' screams; harpies. (Think Hunger Games jabberjay) The harpies speak in Xavier, Colton, Cali's and Ashanti's voices before four more harpies using Lina's voice joins them. The lead harpy attacks Mikah, which Gabriel tries to protect him from, getting injured in the process. They fight with sticks and rocks until the real Elizabeth and Lina come to their rescue. The harpies fly off and Mikah asks Lina if she's okay, but she punches him in the face. Gabriel jumps in front of him and notices that both of them have black eyes.

Ch 89 - MIKAH
Elizabeth attacks Gabriel and Lina attacks Mikah; and both guys evade their attacks so as to not hurt them. Mikah has a plan to try and get them back from their possession, and Gabriel tells him to do it. So, when Lina jumps at Mikah he holds on to her and kisses her. But, the shadow demons drain his energy, and Gabriel catches him, noticing that he's fading. Gabriel holds onto Mikah and runs away from the possessed ghosts into a shed. They hear a noise and look out the window and realize they are back at the lake. Mikah tries to tell Gabriel that he has to make it out of there no matter what, try to contact Rain and Tabitha, and Gabriel pulls out the mirror shard.

Ch 90 - GABRIEL
Gabriel calls out to Rain and gets a response; asking if they had found a reflective surface. Rain tells them it doesn't have to be a mirror for him to pull them through, anything that can reflect an image and is large enough for them to go through will work. They ask if the lake can work and Rain says they can give it a try. They go out to the lake and Gabriel throws the mirror shard into it. The lake begins to glow with the reflection of the moon, but Elizabeth, Lina, and their shadow-shape friends show up. They thank Gabriel for opening the portal for them and begin attacking them, but instead of holding back, Gabriel fights back and knocks them out. The portal starts closing and Mikah is fading; Tabitha calls out to them. But, Lina is back and Gabriel realizes he can't fight with Mikah and escape. He begs Lina and she fights the shadows, she grabs Elizabeth and absorbs the girl's shadows, and tells Gabriel to take them both and go. He hesitates, worried Mikah may not forgive him for leaving Lina in her state, when she pushes them all into the lake.

Ch 91 - GABRIEL
Mikah tries to go to Lina, but Gabriel holds onto him tightly as they are sucked into the portal. Gabriel feels his wolf has returned and Mikah appears physically okay, but continues to keep yelling for Lina. Tabitha, Rain, and Adair join them and Elizabeth, but Mikah stalks off angrily. Gabriel is about to tell them what happened, but Miriam comes out of the house to see Elizabeth, who appears as a 17 year old. Gabriel tells Tabitha that Mikah reconnected with his wife but she sacrificed herself to help them get out, and she suggests he go talk to him. He tries to comfort Mikah, but he's too upset.

Ch 92 - GABRIEL
Gabriel is afraid that after they've all been through Mikah might suddenly leave them. Gabriel tells Tabitha that Mikah blames him for leaving Lina in the spirit realm when he might have wanted to stay with her, but Gabriel refused to let him. Tabitha suggests to give Mikah some time but Gabriel still feels rejected after Mikah continues to choose Lina over him, even now that she's not an option. Adair tells Gabriel that they need to stop wasting time and find the orb because he no longer senses magic there; and Tabitha reminds them she's still looking for her sister. Rain states he wants to stick around because he'd never seen a ghost come back to life. Adair, Tabitha, and Gabriel go back to the garage to get the car when Mikah returns and mentions he believes he lost his vampire abilities.

Ch 93 - MIKAH
Mikah states he tried to use his vampire speed but he couldn't. Gabriel is incredulous, stating that Mikah had gone through the portal and is still intact. Mikah sees Gabriel and realizes he might never be able to forgive him for preventing him from going to Lina and possibly saving her. Instead, he tells Tabitha that maybe losing his abilities was step one and the other parts - dying a physical death is still to come. Adair tells him he has some connections that can help him but first they need to get out of town. After driving for some time, they stop at a diner, and Adair asks Mikah what's really going on because if he is going to slow them down with their mission, he will have to come up with another plan without them. Mikah gets upset and pushes Adair. They go inside and Tabitha asks what's next, and Mikah says motel. Gabriel pushes Mikah to talk but he snaps and yells that he lost his vampire powers, and the entire diner goes silent.

Ch 94 - GABRIEL
Tabitha tries to play it off as Mikah being a star in the making, rehearsing lines for a play. The group waits for the human patrons to go back to their lives and Gabriel notices each individual person of the group is frayed. Gabriel decides to step up and ask for someone to take charge. Mikah apologizes and tells them he doesn't know who he is anymore now he's without vampire powers. Gabriel suggests they hold off on going after Silas and the orb while they get Mikah situation, but Tabitha gets angry stating she's only stayed with them for one reason only - to get to Silas. Mikah agrees and states he gets to decide what to do with the rest of his life. Adair finally speaks up and asks if they should deal with the fact if Mikah really needs a vampire recharge or not. They argue some more and Tabitha agrees to help Mikah with his issue and Adair says he knows a way to help him.

Ch 95 - MIKAH
Mikah automatically refuses whatever Adair is thinking, but Gabriel wants to hear him out. Adair says he has contacts in Las Vegas who can help them figure out what's wrong with Mikah. But, Mikah says he knows Adair is really suggesting going to see the Desert Vampire Council. On the road to Vegas, Gabriel asks Mikah if there should be any heads up about Adair's plan, but he just tells him it's a dangerous place. They go to a motel where Tabitha offers to get the rooms while Adair tries to make contact with the council. Gabriel then asks Mikah why he's being blocked and Mikah says they are just business partners. But Gabriel refuses to believe this and kisses him.

Ch 96 - MIKAH
Mikah and Gabriel share a heated kiss, but Mikah pushes Gabriel away. They argue that Mikah doesn't want to hook up with Gabriel even though there is obviously something between them, but Gabriel keeps trying to push the matter. Mikah tells him it's never going to happen and Gabriel takes off. Mikah goes to his room and falls asleep, dreaming about Lina. She begs him not to leave her alone, but she says he already has, and he hears Gabriel calling to him. The house beings falling apart and he rushes outside, and the roof collapses with Lina inside. Then the shadow voices laugh that he will lose everything he cares about. He awakens just as the door of his motel room busted open.

Ch 97 - GABRIEL
Gabriel can't get to sleep in his motel room, constantly thinking about what him and Mikah have gone through and how he's been acting towards him since they returned from the spirit realm. He hears Mikah in his room calling out and immediately goes to investigate. He begins to panic thinking that Mikah was in danger inside his room without his vampire powers, and kicks the door down. Mikah tells him it's just a nightmare, and Gabriel turns to leave, but Mikah prevents him and says he doesn't want to have any regrets if his time is limited. They kiss and engage in intercourse with Gabriel entering Mikah.

Ch 98 - MIKAH
Mikah awakens and thinks they might have made a mistake last night. Gabriel awakens and asks if they want to talk, but Mikah refuses. Adair knocks on the door frame and sees what obviously happened. Adair informs them that he made contact with the council and they want to do an evaluation on Mikah and an associate who is to direct them. Mikah states he needs a shower and while in there he thinks about how he's feeling conflicted when Gabriel joins him. He's about to talk to Gabriel about their night when he blacks out.

Ch 99 - GABRIEL
Gabriel carries Mikah to the bed and calls out for Adair and Tabitha. He tells them he's afraid that Mikah is dying and asks Adair when they can see his contact. He says they can go now but is afraid Mikah is not even breathing. Gabriel checks that he is breathing faintly, and orders them to hurry. Mikah regains consciousness while on their way to the council. They get to the bar in between the Luxor and Mandalay Bay, and Adair tells the bouncers they are there to see Ras. They enter the bar, but the bouncers block the exit and tell them they won't be able to make their appointment. Four Fae step out of the shadows for Adair, and they begin to fight. They are starting to lose when a woman with vampire-like speed saves them.

Ch 100 - MIKAH
Adair tells the group they need to get out because someone knows he's in town and is out to get him. Gabriel questions who the woman is, and she introduces herself as Ras. She directs them to a cabin by Mount Charleston and serves them tea. She asks the group why they were seeking the services of the council, and Mikah asks if there is a price for her help. She assures them that she's an envoy of the council, and Mikah explains he's lost his vampire powers after going to the spirit realm. She questions him out of scientific curiosity because she had heard of an instance of this before, where the vampire in question lost his vampiric abilities and died as a human. She tells him the way to save him is to become a vampire again before death comes; but it has to be from the one who originally gave the gift of vampirism - Mikah's original sire.
