FAITHThe anger coming from Kaiden was minuscule, as if the thread connecting us couldn’t contain his full rage and only showed me a fraction of what he was feeling. It was concerning, but I was also grateful to know that the call with his ex-girlfriend wasn’t a friendly catch-up after seeing each other in person for so long. I would be more concerned if he were excited or happy to be talking to her, as pathetically jealous as I knew that was.I wanted Kaiden to have friends and allies, and the more I thought about it, the more I realized that if their breakup had been amicable, then she might be the best one to have an alliance with. A knock sounded at the door just before it was thrown open, and I gasped as Juliana charged at me. My arms moved up to swat her away, but she grabbed both sides of my face, looking from eye to eye. I tensed, frozen in her hold, wondering if she was finding what she was looking for and if I would have to stay in lockdown longer. “Can I help you?” I mu

KAIDENJackson glared at me as I left the room, and I put my hand out for the cell phone. He handed it over to me, and I pressed End Call before shoving it into my pocket. I could have laughed as Jackson sputtered in frustration that I had just hung up on the very frustrated and frustrating Alpha Hilliard.Once I was in the security of my office, I would call her back, but sometimes, even Alphas needed to understand that they were not in charge of other packs. I had rules, procedures, and boundaries. If I told her I would call her back, she had no right to tell me that wasn't how this would go.“Alpha, I don’t think… She was really angry.” He warned, and I nodded, knowing that was probably true. It only took a minute before we arrived, and I pulled out the phone. It was Jackson’s personal phone, and I assumed Lilly had gotten angry at me for not answering and had called him as a workaround.The screen lit up, and I recognized the number, amazed that I could do so after all this time

KAIDEN‘Alpha,’ Jackson’s voice called through the pack link, and I stirred, cold water splashing around me as I moved. Faith was shivering, but not like she had been before. It had only been about two hours, if I had to guess, from the sunlight starting to enter the bedroom from the balcony doors, but that was still too long for someone without fast healing to be sitting in a bath.I couldn’t have her getting sick right now. It was the worst possible time for that.“Shit,” I muttered before turning the water on as hot as it could go and moving my thigh so it would hit my leg instead of burning Faith’s. I needed to warm her up and then get her out of the water as soon as possible. She sat up suddenly, sending a splash of water over the lip of the tub and onto the floor. “Oh, Gods. It’s freezing!” I couldn’t help but smile as she leaned forward and pulled the drain before leaning back against my chest and curling her legs up until they were closer to the faucet and the hot water. ‘A

FAITH A groan left my lips as I rolled onto my back, the damp sheets beneath me sending a shiver through my entire body.I felt like I was on fire, yet the layer of sweat covering me had me shaking uncontrollably. The nightmares had been awful, but the more I returned to consciousness, the more I feared that it had been real with how hot the room was.In my dream, Cain and Ryan had retaliated, and our pack house had been burning down. We had all been trapped inside, clawing at the stone walls, but they had been heating up, too, like an oven. One by one, everyone I cared about dropped dead, burnt alive, and I was scrambling, struggling to find an exit that hadn't been blocked. Kaiden had been at my side, holding my hand, pulling me left and right through the maze of hallways, guiding me through the pack house as we tried to locate a possible exit.There had been flames everywhere, on every flammable surface, reaching for us like hands trying to grab us as we ran past. We couldn’t

FAITHI wasn’t sure if I should stand or sit. My hand moved behind me as if to grab something there to catch myself, but there was nothing but air. Of course, there wasn’t. I hadn’t moved, but from the nervous look on Kaiden’s face, I felt like I should. I felt like I needed to step back and put some distance between us to prepare for what he had to say. There was no chance I would like what was coming, but if I wanted things to get better between us, I at least had to listen to him and take in everything with an open mind.“Once I tell you everything, you have to stay under lockdown until Juliana can shield your mind from being read.” He explained, and I nodded.I hadn’t known that was even possible, and not for the first time, I reached a new level of respect and appreciation for the witch. “Okay,” I whispered, pressing my palms against the sides of my thighs. “There have been one hundred and seventy-one white wolves here since I became Alpha,” Kaiden said, and I coughed as my

KAIDEN“Tell me you found a way to shield her,” I demanded as Juliana sat in the chair across from me on the other side of my desk.Faith’s scent had been all over the room. She had seen everything. The ancient weapons, the map, and the ledger. Gods, when I picked it up, I could smell her fear and stress on it. She must have been really convincing for Will to have believed her when she told him that a nightmare had caused her fear because my office still reeked of it. “I’m on the verge, but I can’t seem to get it quite right,” Juliana said with frustration. “How close are you?” I asked, and she shrugged. “I am not working with a lot of blood. You are asking a lot here. You have me wanting to shield her, but also to figure out how Cain is collecting magic from his mates and with the bond in place…” Juliana said, and I cut her off. “A Binding Blade. He was about to cut Sable’s throat with it.” I said, and her eyes widened. “I thought those had been destroyed!” Juliana gasped with
