Colt laughed. “That’s why the elk carcass made you sick, huh?”

“Yeah.”

He sighed slowly and dwelled on his thoughts. “I was so worried about you last night. You didn’t even close the porch door when you left. I thought you were running away.”

I didn’t want to tell him how I’d been considering it.

“Then when I found you after you’d transformed, I almost couldn’t believe it was you. You were a wolf. Curled up like a little puppy… You were really a wolf, just like us.”

I heard the smile in his voice without looking up at him.

“What did it feel like?”

A tear dribbled down my cheek. I wiped it away again and sniffed. “I don’t remember much. I think I tripped while I was still human, then I blacked out. I don’t remember anything in the dream except running and seeing Gavin.” Just speaking his name left a sour taste in my mouth, tugging my lips into a frown. “The transformation back to human was a blur, the whole night, it was… confusing. I barely remember anything.”

    It would take a lot of work for me to truly become the leader that Gavin needed to be alongside him. I still had a lot to learn about both what it took to lead and make decisions for the pack, and myself. My entire life, I had been meek and shy, easily stepped on, and afraid of my own voice. I couldn’t defend myself, or I’d be cast into the spotlight and forced to justify why I challenged my superiors. I had been a toy for David without even knowing it, and a punching bag for Catrina, and an object of pity for Colt. The family I thought I knew never wanted me; they only sought ways to use me, and had I not mustered the courage to run away, I would still be suffering under their sick and cruel authority. I owed it to my wolf for giving me the determination to become free.“Are you still happy being Billie Jesper?” Gavin asked me in the evening.I hadn’t thought much about it. “Elizabeth is my real name,” I pondered out loud, “but I’m still Billie. Just not a Jesper.”“No. You’re a Stee

    The subtle pain in my side from my healing wounds didn’t stop me from thrusting between her thighs, slowly and carefully eliminating the space between us until I felt her warmth consume me. She bit back nervous sounds, and neither of us felt it when I broke her hymen, and I glimpsed pale streaks of blood on the condom—but it didn’t stop me, and it didn’t seem to affect Billie. She all too quickly accepted the meter of my hips rocking against hers, pulling me in and pulsing around me. She was so tight it made me dizzy.When she started moaning for me, I thought I would die.Our fated bond came to fruition. This was how it was supposed to be between us. This was how we were meant to be. Every inch of our skin touching, her panting in my ear, her fingers on the back of my neck, her lips on mine. And when her body writhed at the crux of ecstasy, she pulled me along with her, uniting us in an overpowering climax that smothered all senses and left us burning.By the end of it, I was braced

    I nodded. “There will always be a place for you here.”Muriel’s expression faltered, but it was only because she feared how her presence could endanger us. I knew she didn’t want to drag us into any more adversity than she already had. Her smile returned a moment later and she squeezed my hands. “Thank you.”We all stood up, preparing to go. Muriel would head back to the Mundy’s house for the next few days so that I could spend time with Billie. After a reassuring hug from the silver-haired unicorn, I stepped back and watched Billie bury her face in Muriel’s shoulder, embracing her with all the love for a mother that Billie never had. Muriel Vale had become more than a refugee to us. She was a source of comfort that we all needed, and she unified us, whether she had intended to or not.On the drive back to my apartment, we were silent. Billie had been tense all night, and I wondered if she would even speak to me after what I’d done to Catrina. I let her lead the way up the apartment v

    As Dalesbloom and the Inkscales retreated, we were left in the heavy darkness of the storm, the yard stinking of blood, metal and bitter betrayal. There was no relief in seeing our enemies fall back. It had only unearthed in us a terrible foreboding of what would come next, and what had been revealed; what we now had to process fifteen years after it had been done.Everett trudged up to us, rain trickling off his arms and the damp coils of his beard. “We’ll take Muriel and protect her,” he said.“No,” grunted Gavin. “That wasn’t part of the arrangement.”“Gavin,” growled Everett.“You heard what David did. You saw what he’s done to us. The Mythguard has no reason to abstain from exterminating him now.”Everett stared firmly at Gavin, but it was clear neither man would be willing to back down, nor did they have the energy to continue arguing. Despite Eastpeak and the Mythguard’s assistance, Everett had only complied out of duty; there was no camaraderie in the wake of the battle. He tu

    That wasn’t what concerned Colt. “But your mate bond with Mom,” he croaked.Even if he and Rebecca were separated, David should still be at his highest potential now without the need for a Lycan form. He should be at his strongest—but from what we had all seen during the battle, it was clear that David wasn’t as strong or fast or in control of himself as he should have been, despite being marked by his fated mate. He’d been lacking power all this time.“I have no mate anymore,” he growled. David’s eyes slid to me, threatening me to stay silent about what happened earlier, and with the gravity of a fact he had not shared. “Rebecca is dead.”All of us held our breaths, though the news burdened our lungs and made our tongues feel heavy. It seemed the only one who already knew this was Lothair, who slowly took his hands off David and let the maddened man support himself, accepting our judgment. Accepting what this would create of him to tell us the truth about his wife, whose fate had at

    We ran together through the carnage. Thunder rippled above us as the rain fell harder, stinging my eyes and impeding my footfalls on the slickened ground. All around us, wolves from Grandbay and Eastpeak clashed with wolves from Dalesbloom and the insidious Inkscale dragons. Catrina tore into my packmate Philip. Oslo was locked in battle with David. Aislin and Niko savaged Lothair, and even Everett had joined the fray, holding two dragons at bay alongside three Mythguard humans.The moment I reached the lawn of the pack house, I collapsed, panting as pain seized my body. Billie slid off of me and cried into my neck. “Please be okay,” she spoke, clutching my pelt.Muriel appeared beside us. “You have to get to safety,” she urged Billie.I growled out the same sentiment to her.Billie looked up, eyes glistening. “Can you help him?”“Yes. I’ll try,” she said. But when I felt her palm on my flank, she recoiled, the sticky texture of my blood too poisonous for her. Muriel clenched her jaw
