RAMSEY

I could soften it. I've made ugly truths sound less ugly all my life. But she's spent the afternoon asking me to stop deciding what she can bear.

"If Rook takes over completely, yes. Someone will have to stop us."

Her lips part. She stares at me, and her face crumples.

"No." It's such a small word, but it digs deep into my chest.

"Redbird—"

"No, Ramsey." She pushes herself upright, then reaches for me with both hands. "Please don't say that like you've already agreed to it."

    ZARA I zone out, thinking about Dr. Bryant words and the possibility that my wolf might be able to fix Ramsey. But where do I even begin? I don’t even know what I am.Azalea ends her call with Noelle and scowls at her phone."Well?" I ask."Fourteen days." She leans back, scowling at the ceiling. "Azren and Noelle are away on business for another fourteen days. Noelle wants us to wait until they return before dragging Levi home.""Dragging?""Sweetheart, if we leave the decision entirely to my brother, we'll be celebrating his seventieth birthday before he packs a bag."I laugh. "He promised to think about it.""Exactly. That's Lakewood for no."Surely not. Surely he’s not playing games with me, is he?I find Ramsey in the gym. And my knees go weak.He's an absolute public nuisance.His dark hair is loose and layered, the ends brushing past his nape and framing his face. Grey eyes meet mine in the glass.Sweat catches the light along his collarbones and between the hard ridges o

    ZARA For a moment, I can only stare at Azalea. A shiver runs down my spine."Okay," I say slowly. "That's...creepy."Azalea sighs. “I know how ridiculous it sounds.""No, it doesn't." I squeeze her hand. "I just don't know what it means.""Neither do I. But I've never had dreams like these before, Zara. Sometimes I wake up crying because I can still hear him calling for Dad."My heart squeezes. Oh, Ramsey.I look towards his bedroom."Well, he's here. He's alive, and we're doing everything we can to keep him that way."Azalea wipes her cheeks. Then her brows crease slightly."Actually, there might be someone who can help."I straighten. "Who?""Noelle. Azren's wife. She's a Golden Wolf."I stare at her. "A what now?"She snorts. Then she becomes serious again."Golden Wolves are extraordinarily rare. They possess restorative abilities that most supernatural healers can only dream of. Noelle has helped people recover from injuries and conditions that should have killed them."My

    ZARA My eyes narrow. There are only a handful of people in Greyhaven who call Ramsey by his middle name, and I don't recall any of them being ridiculously beautiful women wearing fur coats that probably cost more than my university tuition."Depends," I say.She raises one perfectly shaped eyebrow. "On?""Who wants to know."Her lips twitch. Oh, brilliant. She's amused."His sister," she replies.I blink. "His what?""Azalea Lakewood." She removes her sunglasses completely. "And you must be Zara."Holy fucking shit.I look at her again. THIS is Ramsey's little sister?But she's supposed to be forty-five!Ramsey mentioned they're only a year apart, which means this woman is practically his age. And yet she looks like she could be in her late twenties.What the hell is wrong with this family?Do they bathe in the blood of virgins? Is there some supernatural anti-aging cream I'm not aware of?And where did those blue eyes even come from? Ramsey's are grey. I've never met their parents

    ZARA The way Ramsey is looking at me, you'd think I'd just confessed to selling Greyhaven to the highest bidder. It was especially hard getting him to wait until he’d freshened up and had breakfast before giving him the details.I bite my lip to stop myself from laughing. Unfortunately, Ramsey is watching me with those ridiculously beautiful grey eyes, and the longer he stares, the harder it becomes to keep a straight face."Okay, fine. Rourke and I talked about your condition," I admit.Ramsey raises an eyebrow. "Is that so?""Rourke offered to handle Greyhaven while you rest. He says he's been doing most of the work already, and he thinks he can manage without you breathing down his neck every five minutes.""Did he actually say that?" Ramsey squints."Not in those exact words. I'm paraphrasing.""Rather creatively, I imagine."I roll my eyes. "Baby, focus. This is serious."His smile softens, and he reaches for my hand. His fingers are warm, but I notice the slight tremor w

    RAMSEY He doesn't reply. I continue reading.|The Sirens' rarity rival that of the Iron Wolves. Some scholars believed that their births were not merely balanced but deliberately connected.|I lean my head against the wall.Strange.If these records are accurate, a creature capable of disrupting supernatural compulsion exists somewhere in the world. Perhaps several.And for every Iron Wolf—I stop. A thought occurs to me.Zara's touch. The headaches. The way Rook settles when she's near. The peculiar relief I've experienced since her wolf awakened.No. Surely not.I look towards the bathroom door. My chest tightens.Could she?Rook makes a low, aching sound. For once, it doesn't feel like a threat. It feels like longing.I scroll further.|The bond between an Iron Wolf and a Siren is not always understood by those who experience it. When one is subjected to unnatural influence or curses, the other may experience intense distress, often mistaken for the ordinary agony of separatio

    RAMSEY Pain wakes me. It begins somewhere deep in my ribs, a vicious tightening that spreads through my chest and tears down my spine. I jerk awake with a strangled gasp, instinctively reaching for Zara.My hand closes around an empty pillow.Bloody hell.For a moment, I lie still, trying to understand why my heart is suddenly hammering against my ribs.The bedroom is dark, save for the pale moonlight slipping between the curtains. Zara's side of the bed is still warm, and the sheets are tangled around my legs.Then I hear her. She's moving towards the bathroom.I turn my head.My little Redbird is wearing one of my oversized sweaters, the hem brushing her thighs. Her fire-red hair tumbles down her back, and she's holding something against her chest.A phone. It's not hers.I know her phone. It's currently charging beside the lamp on her nightstand.The one she's carrying is black, rather inexpensive-looking, and small enough to disappear inside her palm.Interesting.She glance
