Zahra's POV

Lincoln's mouth finds my shoulder, and he hums softly against my skin, the vibrations soothing. His arms hold me gently but firmly against his chest, and despite everything, I feel so content and so deeply loved in that moment, even with the missing thread still aching quietly in the background.

"I can't say what the future holds for us. But I can promise you I'll always be here for you. Please don't ever feel like you have to hide your uncomfortable truths from me. Okay?"

I hope one day he will, but not the first time. Plus, he has a lot to make up for before he deserves it. He seriously hurt her and them by what he did. He needs to be honest about everything, including what he was willing to do to break the bond.

Once they face the council, Xander and Zahra will get their alone time. I hope that Max comes back in time for that and maybe he’ll join them

    Xander's POV“Come on, darling, let's go get washed up. Zach, can you organise food for us as well, please?” I ask my Beta as I wrap an arm around Zahra.“Sure, anything in particular?”I glance down at Zahra. She shrugs.“Not fussed.”He nods, pats her shoulder and turns to head inside.I give her a small squeeze, and we start walking towards the doors of the rest stop.“What is worrying you most right now?” I ask her quietly as we walk.She sighs. I can feel her relax as I hold her, but it's not enough. She dips her head, fighting her emotions hard, and I wish she'd just stop trying to hide them from me.“I know he came back, and I know it cost him to do so. Fuck, he nearly died to warn us, and I know he saved us and everything, but what if he did all of that out of guilt? Because he heard about the rogues and came to tell us for old times' sake? I just can't help thinking that as soon as he's better, he's going to decide he still doesn't want me, and reject me, and leave again.”My

    Xander's POVI glance over at Zahra again. The emotions she's feeling, even muted as she tries to hide them from the bond, are making me feel ill. She's a bundle of fear, anxiety, anger and wary uncertainty. Fuck, if I were feeling what she currently is, I think I'd be a shaking, rocking mess in the corner. After everything she's been through, I need to take some of this load from her, but I have no idea how.Normally, I can make her smile, distract her, hold her close until the worst of whatever she's feeling starts to ease. But I can't kiss this away or make some stupid joke that will somehow put everything right. The one thing hurting her most is lying in the back of my fucking car, and there's nothing I can do to change that.Being so close to Max again is clearly setting her off, but I don't know how to fix this. Max is awake, and the nurses are quietly asking him questions as they run through various checks, but Zahra is all I can think about.And that's probably a good thing, b

    Zahra's POVThe rest stop appears bright on the horizon as we approach it. After the dark, tree-lined roads, it almost looks like a space station, it's so lit up.Zanthe is restless. She keeps pacing and whining, and it's not helping my anxiety at all. Every turn she makes seems to scrape against my already frayed nerves. I can feel her agitation beneath my skin, the constant urge to turn around, go back to Max and put my hands on him. It's exhausting trying to hold her back when I can barely manage my own emotions.‘Will you cut it out?’ I snap at her.‘Will you?’ she all but snarls back at me. ‘What's your problem?’I startle, shocked by her tone. ‘What do you mean, what's my problem?’ I've never heard or felt anything like the animosity I can feel from her now.‘What's wrong?’ I try again.‘He's our fucking mate! He's injured, and he's back. Medus is barely holding himself together. I can feel him, Zahra. He's right there, and you're sitting here pretending you don't want to go to

    Zahra's POVHe's alive. He's fucking alive, and he's awake. Oh, thank the Goddess!‘Mate,’ Zanthe hums in satisfaction as she gently purrs for Medus, the rumble low in my mind.The word jerks me back to my senses. Mate. And memories flood back into my exhausted and panicked brain. Max walking away, the anger and disgust on his face back at the lake house. The utterly devastating heartbreak as my mate ran away from me in the forest.Zanthe is still purring, so fucking happy to have Medus close again, and now that those memories have come rushing back, I almost resent her for it. How can she be so pleased when I can still remember every horrible second of what happened between us? I know she missed him. Fuck, I missed him too, but that doesn't mean I've forgotten what he did.I pull back, reality crashing back in. Max's face scrunches as I retreat, his brows furrowing, and something that looks horribly like hurt flashes through those green eyes. He reaches for me, his hand coming up tow

    Max's POVPain. Fuck, the pain is back. I feel like my body is encased in cement. It's heavy and almost impossible to move. My body still feels restrained somehow, but that fact doesn't seem to fully register. It's like my mind flits onto other observations before I've processed what it means.The billowing roar is still there, as are the vibration and the bumping, but there's no more scent of blood and no more sound of fighting wolves.Zahra!Her beautiful face flashes through my mind, and I reach for her down the bond. It's shadowed. Gentle emotions drift down it like they are muted, dialled down from usual, and the difference confuses me. It's more like what I was getting back in Eclipse, but I can scent her here, close to me. Her heartbeat reaches me beneath everything else, steady and familiar, and some of the tightness in my chest eases before I can stop it. I know it's not distance that's turned down the focus.Is she asleep?I check the emotions again. She's calm, exhausted. T

    Max's POVTerror fills my chest like ice, and it feels like my lungs have frozen solid. I try to move, try to clutch at my sternum, to rub some warmth back in or check my heart still beats inside my rib cage, but I can't move, and the fear intensifies. It claws at my frozen chest until something finally clicks through the fog. This part is mine. This fear is fucking mine. But if this is mine, then the other...?The world feels heavy again, like a weighted blanket falling over my face, and darkness envelops me.******A wolf's roar startles me. I try to blink open my eyes, but they feel like they're cemented closed. The cold in my chest is still there, the fear almost overwhelming. I feel my body sliding, but I'm helpless to stop it. Fuck, am I falling? A nauseating feeling envelops me, and I think I might be sick.******“AIDEN!”The scream cuts through everything. Something inside me reacts before I even know why, my heart kicking painfully against my ribs as I fight whatever is holdi
