The hospital smelled like antiseptic and broken promises. Bleach and sterile air tried to smother everything else, but beneath it, faint and fragile, I felt him. The bond is there, thin and fraying, connecting me to my mate.

Duncan’s alive. He’s alive. He has to be alive. The chant rolled through my skull in rhythm with my pounding heart, a mantra as I raced to find my mate. Every step felt too slow, too loud. The fluorescent lights hummed overhead, buzzing against my nerves. I could tas

    Gavin POVThe bathroom door shut with a quiet click. I pressed my palm flat against the wood, wishing there was more I could do to help Elara. Atka was pacing in my head, agitated, not wanting to let her out of our sight for even a moment, but I knew she needed the space. I turned around, putting my back against the door and sliding down until I was sitting on the cold floor. Elara was awake. She’d spent time with the Goddess and her parents. She was healing, and right now, that was the most important thing. As much as I hated it, the bond had to come second. Which meant if she wanted time to shower alone, to process, I needed to give it to her. But it took everything in me to stay where I was when I heard her sobs coming through the door. I’d grown up watching my parents, my aunts and uncles, my grandparents all mated to their fated mates. The bonds the Goddess gave them, gave us as wolves, were beautiful things. I’d always thought so, and had been raised to respect them. But I’d

  • Luna Rising   Open Waters

    Elara POVWater was running somewhere. The sound was muffled, but it still invaded my consciousness as I woke. Then other sounds layered over it—footsteps somewhere beyond the room, two people breathing slowly and deeply, voices in a cadence that indicated a quiet conversation somewhere past the doors. In a habit built over a decade, I kept my eyes closed and took inventory. My body felt…whole. There was no lingering pain, no new weakness. I flexed my legs, and they moved freely, without restraint. They felt strong. The weakness that had been my constant companion for years was gone. There was pressure in my hand as I moved, enough to tell me there was a needle there. No, not a needle…an IV. And the fluid didn't burn as it dripped into me.Breathing deeply, I took in the antiseptic that said medical facility. Layered over it were Allie's clean mountain scent and another that was deeper, earthier. Still, it was the comforting combination of oakmoss and cedar that wrapped around me lik

  • Luna Rising   While You Were Sleeping

    Gavin POVOn the third day in the hospital, Allie woke. Ross was ecstatic. He moved around the room, getting her water and food, talking to her non-stop. It made me smile to see it, even as Atka and I grew more worried about the length of time Elara had been out. Allie herself was quiet. She accepted Ross's help with an occasional small smile, but she didn't initiate conversation or contact with him. We were going to need to get some counselors in here to help both of them. For now, we were going to focus on getting physically healthy. Both of the girls had gained color back. Thanks to Dimitri's observation about the volume of blood they were being given, the supply was increased, and the results were quickly evident. Elara's cheeks started filling out, the bruises under her eyes started fading, and her hair took on a silver sheen. It practically glowed. But her eyes remained closed.I glanced up at Allie as Ross adjusted her blanket. Her face was no longer drawn and pale. There w

  • Luna Rising   I'll Be Here

    Gavin POVThe hospital room smelled of disinfectant and pain. Ross and I had been sitting beside the girls long enough that we were starting to smell ourselves, too—which was about as unpleasant as it sounded. But neither of us wanted to leave our mate long enough to get clean.Doc Jensen had ordered two portable cots for our room, so we at least had a place to rest that wouldn’t interfere with Elara and Allie’s care. While I would have preferred to climb into the bed with Elara, the nurses were still checking on her regularly and I didn’t want to risk aggravating any of her remaining injuries, so the cot was the best compromise the Doc could come up with once he realized we weren’t leaving. I was just sitting up after a night of very little sleep when Mom stepped into the room. She stopped just inside the door, her gaze stopping briefly on each of the girls, then Ross, before settling on me. “I can smell you from here, Gavin. Haven’t you showered yet?”A bit sheepishly, I looked u

  • Luna Rising   Among the Moonflowers

    Elara POVI opened my eyes beneath silver moonlight. Since I’d fallen asleep in a hospital room, finding myself lying in soft grass beneath an open sky was more than a little surprising. Cool blades tickled my fingertips, and somewhere nearby water gurgled over rocks in a stream that couldn’t be too far away.I sat up. Despite the midnight sky, I could see everything around me as clearly as if it were daylight. The stream lay about thirty yards in front of me, its banks dotted with moonflowers. Beyond that, the meadow seemed endless.There were enough differences between this place and the one where I met Gavin in my dreams that I knew I was somewhere else altogether. I just wasn’t sure where, exactly. But there was only one way to find out. A beautiful white gown flowed around my legs as I stood. Looking down, I realized I was clad in a simple shift-style garment, the waist gathered with a braided silver cord. My arms were strong and toned, and I carried the healthy curves I hoped

  • Luna Rising   Safe Now

    Gavin POVWe stepped through the portal and exited onto the courtyard in Silver Moon. Grandpa had already alerted the pack hospital that we had injured, so we were met with a group of nurses with stretchers ready. Elara went straight for the one Ross had just laid Allie on. "Where are you taking her?" she demanded. "It's okay, Elara. She's going to the hospital. You need to come, too," I said. I rested my hand on her shoulder, relieved when she left it there. "I'm fine. But she isn't."We followed Ross and Allie through the hospital doors. Mom and Elaine were moving around, helping where they could, but I could see the exhaustion weighing on them both. They wouldn't be able to help for much longer, not without hurting themselves in the process. One of the doctors came up to us. "Who do we have here, Prince Gavin?" he asked. "This is my beta's mate, Allie," I said. "She was rescued from the lab we just raided. And this is my mate, Elara." I held her close. "They both need full ex
