MAYA

I couldn’t erase the image burned into my mind: the smug satisfaction on my parents’ faces, and Isla’s faint, self-satisfied smirk as the warriors from the Silvermere Pack led me away.

They didn’t try to hide their relief. They were almost gleeful, watching me go like a problem finally solved.

I didn’t look back.

But their expressions stayed with me, carved into the back of my skull like scars I’d never be free from.

Hours passed in tense silence. My wrists ached from the firm restraints,

    MAYAA year laterI wandered through the hallways of the White Moon pack house, searching for Kael.The afternoon sun streamed through the tall windows, casting everything in that golden light that made even the most ordinary moments feel magical.The soft murmur of voices led me to the nursery, and I paused at the partially open door to peek inside. What I saw made my heart swell with such overwhelming love that I had to press my hand to my chest to contain it.Kael was stretched out in the oversized rocking chair we'd specially ordered, his shirt unbuttoned, with tiny Charmaine sleeping peacefully against his chest, her red-blonde curls catching the afternoon light.In the matching chair beside him, Tobias held little Calen with the same gentle care, his brown hair so much like my own, fanned across Tobias's broad chest as he dozed.Both men were speaking in hushed tones about pack security protocols, but their voices carried the soft cadence people naturally adopted around sleeping

    MAYAThe silver light around Nanny was growing brighter by the second, and I could feel the air itself beginning to vibrate with the power she was calling forth. This was really happening. The woman who had raised me, who had been my anchor through every storm, was about to sacrifice herself to save us all."Mom," I whispered, reaching toward her with trembling hands.She turned to me, and for a moment the terrible light dimmed enough that I could see her face clearly. Her eyes were filled with love and peace, the same expression she'd worn when she used to tuck me into bed as a child and tell me stories."My darling girl," she said softly, "Come here."I moved toward her, and she pulled me into her arms the way she had countless times throughout my life. She smelled like lavender and home, and I buried my face in her shoulder as tears poured down my cheeks."I'm so proud of you," she murmured against my hair. "So proud of the woman you've become, the mother you're going to be. Your d

    MAYAI could feel myself growing weaker.Delia was half-suspended in the air now, eyes closed, and both hands turned up to the sky, as though she were in a trance.Around her, I spotted Seliora, the vampire guy, and three other people watching her with admiration in their eyes. They must be the remainder of Xander's children.I tried to stop singing, but Delia was feeding on my power, and my mouth seemed to have gone out of control. A tear rolled down my cheeks as I dropped my head, but as soon as I did, something caught my eye.I saw Nanny charging towards me, as she had years ago. A small smile spread across my lips, and I found myself murmuring,"Mum!"This time, she wasn't alone. Behind her were Kael and Kyren, all charging towards me.Relief flooded through me as I saw them. They were alive. They had escaped, and they had come for me.But I could feel the weakness spreading through every part of my body. My vision was growing dim around the edges, and I could feel my consciousnes

    MAYAI was viewing the world now through a haze.It was as if I were moving through water or thick fog. Every part of my body felt disconnected from me, and it took extra willpower to keep my eyes open.Whatever they had given me was working. My tongue was growing numb, and I just felt weird, but still I fought against the haze with every fibre of my being.I couldn't afford to lose consciousness now. Not when my life and my children's hung in the balance. I was desperate to ask them if they had released Kael and the others, but my tongue felt too heavy.I need to survive.Whoever was dragging me was dragging me like a sack of potatoes. I kept bumping into things, and they didn't care. Still, I didn't fight them; I allowed myself to be pulled along. I needed to conserve my strength.The underground passage we moved through looked familiar, yet different from my memories.Six years ago, when Xander had brought me to this same cursed place, the tunnels had been crude and hastily constru

    KAEL"Let me at least inspect the house," Kyren said quietly. "It'll only take a few minutes."I nodded and watched as he moved through the destroyed rooms, pausing occasionally to set an item right or pause to look at a marking. I tried to control the urge to charge out into the night for Maya, but I forced myself to remain calm while I let Kyren work.The leader of the Hollow Kin knelt beside the largest bloodstain in the kitchen, squinting his eyes in concentration as he drew in deep breaths through his nose.His fingers hovered just above the dark spots without touching them, and I could see the way his shoulders bunched in tension as he squinted closer to the markings.Miriam had stopped crying but remained on her knees, staring at the destruction around us with hollow eyes. She looked like she had aged in the past few minutes.After what felt like an eternity, Kyren opened his eyes and stood slowly. "This isn't Maya's blood."I nearly hugged Kyren out of the instant joy and reli

    KAELThe chains binding my wrists to the concrete wall had chafed my skin raw hours ago, but I'd long since stopped feeling the pain.The others were in various states of consciousness around me. Kyren sat slumped against the opposite wall, his head hanging forward, but his breathing steady. The Hollow Kin elders flanked him, their faces grim but alert. Elias was to my left, testing his restraints periodically.But it was Miriam who worried me most. The High Priestess sat rigid in her chains; her usually serene composure was filled with anxiety. Her dark eyes darted constantly toward the door, and I could see her lips moving in what looked like silent prayers or incantations."Listen to me, all of you," I said quietly, my voice carrying just enough for them to hear. "Whatever happens, whatever they try to make us do or say, our priority is staying alive long enough for help to arrive.""Help?" one of the elders rasped, his voice hoarse from hours of captivity. "How can you be certain
