HOPE’S POV.

After my mother fainted, everything became chaotic.

Several people rushed to help her. Someone called for the pack doctor, and she was quickly carried to the pack hospital.

Hunter stayed beside me the entire time.

I barely remembered the walk to the hospital. My mind felt foggy with fear and worry. Even though my mother and I had never been very close, seeing her collapse like that frightened me.

When we arrived, the doctor told everyone to wait outside while he checked on her.

    HUNTER'S POV. I stayed still for a long time after that, just listening to her breathing, while fighting my own thoughts. My wolf stayed quiet too as even he knew this was not something to interrupt. But my mind would not stop, it kept pulling everything together in ways I didn’t like. My jaw tightened. I turned my head slightly to look at Hope. She was still asleep, peaceful, safe. And for some reason… that made the guilt worse. Because if what Garvin said was true, then everything happening now was connected to m. To something I did, something I don’t remember. I closed my eyes again, slower this time. This time I didn’t see flashes. I saw nothing, and that was worse. Because even my mind was refusing to show me the truth. I let out a slow breath and whispered to myself. “What did I do…” My voice was barely there, but it felt heavy in the silence. Hope did not hear me, she only turned slightly in her sleep, her hand brushing against my arm. I looked at her hand for a

    HOPE'S POV.“You see things I miss when I’m… in my head.” Hunter said.That made me study him for a second.He didn’t say “weak.” he didn’t say “lost.” but I heard what he meant anyway. I nodded once.“Then I’ll be there,” I said.Something in his expression softened slightly at that. It wasn't much, but it was enough. Enough that I felt it.The silence returned again after that.Hunter leaned back slightly again, pulling me with him so I was resting against his chest once more.His hand rested at my back again, and this time it didn’t move much, it just stayed there.After a while, I heard his voice again, quieter than before.“If Garvin is right…” he said.I didn’t interrupt.“…then this is already bigger than we think.”I closed my eyes briefly, and then nodded slowly.“I know,” I replied softly.His fingers tightened slightly on my shoulder.“And we’re still missing pieces.”I nodded again. “Yes. Yes we are.”There was another pause, then he spoke again.“I don’t like not having c

    HOPE'S POV.The room was quiet in a way that felt different from before.Not the heavy silence of danger.Not the sharp silence of tension.This one… was softer, still full of everything that had happened, but no longer pushing at us from the outside.Just sitting with us instead.Hunter’s arm was around me.Not tight like before.Not like he was holding on for control, more like he had finally stopped fighting the moment.I lay against his chest, listening to his breathing slowly even out.Mine was still catching up.My body still felt like it was remembering everything that had just passed between us, but my mind was already trying to move forward again.That was always the problem.Nothing ever stayed in one place.Not even peace.Hunter’s fingers moved slightly against my back, absentminded at first, then still again, like he was trying to decide if he was allowed to relax.I stayed quiet for a while.et him stay like this.Let us stay like this, even if it's just for a little whi

    HOPE'S POV.The water around us was warm, but the silence between us felt heavier than it should have been.Hunter hadn’t spoken in a while.At first, I thought he was just thinking. Processing everything Everything we had seen.But then I felt it.Something changed in him.His body tensed slightly beneath the water. His breathing shifted. Slower at first… then uneven.“Hope,” he said finally.His voice was low.Not like before. Not controlled.This one sounded… weak and broken.I turned to him immediately.“What is it, Hunter?” I asked softly.He didn’t look at me at first.His eyes stayed fixed somewhere ahead, like he was staring at something I couldn’t see.Then he exhaled.A long, heavy breath.“This is my fault,” he said.I frowned slightly.“What is?”He finally turned to me, and what I saw in his eyes made my chest tighten.Guilt. Deep, raw, heavy guilt.“All of it,” he said. “The bodies. The woods. The war coming on us, everything Garvin said...Everything. It's all my fault

    HOPE’S POV.“More bodies have been found in the woods.”Those words followed us as we moved. No one said anything after that. Hunter didn’t ask more questions in the hallway. I didn’t either. There was nothing to say that wouldn’t make it feel more tense than it already was.We followed the guards through the castle halls.The lights along the walls flickered as we passed, throwing shadows across the stone floor. Everything felt colder than usual, even though I knew it wasn’t the air. It was the truth settling in.Hunter walked ahead of me silently.Even without looking at him, I could feel the tension in his steps. The way his shoulders stayed locked. The way he wasn’t just walking—he was holding himself together.My thoughts kept repeating the same thing.This is already worse than we thought.When we reached the morgue, the guards stopped.The doors were heavy wood reinforced with iron. One of them pushed it open.A wave of cold air hit us instantly.It carried a smell I didn’t lik

    HOPE’S POV.The room returned to quiet after Garvin left.Hunter I decided to move to the bedroom.The mood was gone, ruined but it was late and we still needed to go to bed. Only we didn't exactly go to bed. Tonight didn't look much like the kind that brought sleep with it, so why try? Why even bother? Right now the only thing I could think about now was Garvin's words from earlier. “Your enemy is already inside these walls.”“They are already moving.”I sat at the edge of the bed, my hands resting lightly in my lap, while my eyes followed Hunter.He had not stopped moving since the door closed behind Garvin and we moved into the bathroom.He kept pacing, back and forth, back and forth.His steps were sharp and restless, like he was trying to burn off the frustration building inside him but by the look of things, it was not working.Not even close.His jaw was tight, his shoulders stiff, and even though he had not said anything yet, I could already feel it.He was angry.Not the l

    HOPE’S POV.Morning came too quickly.I woke slowly, something warm and steady wrapped around me. For a second, I didn’t move. I just stayed there, half-asleep, trying to understand why I felt… safe.Then I felt it.His arm around me.Hunter.Everything from last night came rushing back at once.Th

    HOPE’S POV.When we finally pulled apart, it wasn’t by much. Just enough to breathe.

    HOPE’S POV.The hotel felt too quiet.Every single time anyone looked my way, a part of me—the part that was still too sensitive and self-conscious from what happened—started to feel like they knew. If I saw two or more people talking, I felt like they were talking about me.Suddenly, everything fe
