The moment I stepped into the kitchen, my heart still hammering in my chest, I spotted Luke perched on a stool, happily shoveling food into his mouth as Kenan animatedly recounted how he had fought off the attackers yesterday, turning it into some grand tale. He was in his element, his deep voice weaving a story of how he had single-handedly fought off the “bad men” who had come to cause us trouble. Luke, his mouth smeared with crumbs, was completely enthralled, laughing between bites

    Krista*"You don’t need my help, Krista." My wolf’s voice was unbothered, even as my world threatened to collapse around me.I could barely breathe. My pulse was pounding, my entire body screaming at me to move, to do something, but I couldn’t. Jacob and Luke were seconds away from being ripped apart, and my wolf was speaking in riddles."What are you talking about?" My voice was raw, desperate. "I don’t have time for this—just help me!"A sly look entered her golden eyes. She tilted her head, a slow, knowing smile curling her lips. "Why do you think you need me?"I blinked at her, my heart hammering as if it wanted to burst out of my chest. "Because I can’t stop this! I can’t get to them in time!""Who said you needed to get there?""What?!"Her gaze flicked toward the wolf mid-leap, its monstrous body sailing through the air, fangs bared and glistening. I was too far away. Jacob didn’t see it. I was going to lose my son."Tell me, Krista," she mused, her voice smooth as silk. "What

    Krista*Adrenaline roared through my veins as I whirled around, my grip tightening on my dagger just as a massive brown wolf lunged at me, its jaws gaping wide. I barely had time to dodge.The hot stink of its breath washed over me as I twisted to the side, feeling the rush of air as its teeth snapped shut just inches from where my throat had been. My muscles burned as I swung my dagger with all the force I could muster. The blade sank deep into the beast’s side, tearing through thick fur and flesh in a hot, wet spray. The wolf let out a gurgled snarl, its body convulsing as its weight crashed into me, knocking me back a step before it slumped heavily to the ground.I staggered, breath ragged, heart hammering against my ribs. There was no time to process what I had done. The battle was raging on all around me.To my left, I spotted Kenan, still in human form. His fists clenched, his face contorted in fury as he punched a wolf down. His knuckles were bloody, his body swaying slightly

    Krista*It had been hours since we left the cottage, but no one had relaxed, not even for a second. Every step was careful, every ear tuned for the slightest noise. Though we hadn’t yet encountered any trouble, I could feel it looming over us like a storm waiting to break. It felt as if the world itself was holding its breath, waiting for something to happen.I adjusted the strap of my bag, rolling my shoulders to ease the ache settling in my muscles. Luke had long since fallen asleep in Jacob’s arms, his small body curled against his chest. It should have been a comforting sight, this proof that at least someone felt safe. But I knew better. Luke was just exhausted. He had no choice but to trust the people around him to protect him. And we would.As we walked, an odd scent crept into my nose, subtle at first but growing stronger the farther we went. It was foul and tangy, with a dampness that didn’t match the dry earth beneath our feet. It took me a few minutes to place what it remi

    Krista*He squeezed me lightly before I pulled back, my hands still on his arms as if to confirm for myself that he was truly okay. His strength was nowhere near what it should be, but he was alive. That was enough for now.Straightening, he met my gaze seriously. "Jacob filled me in. We have a plan."I nodded, waiting.Kenan continued, his voice steady despite the fatigue in his eyes. "We go west. Fast."I glanced at Jacob, who stood a few feet away, watching us with an unreadable expression. He gave a small nod, confirming that he agreed with Kenan’s assessment."East and north are out of the question," Kenan explained. "That would take us straight to Eldeg."We all knew that was not an option."South?" I asked, though I already had a feeling what the answer would be.Kenan shook his head. "The waters there are too rough. I don’t have the strength to make the swim across.”“Two of my people,” Jacob added, “Mari and Seth, can’t swim either."Kenan nodded. "That means our only choice

    Krista*Kenan’s head rested against my knees, the weight of him keep me in the moment even as the room seemed to sway. I blinked hard, pushing past the dizziness curling around the edges of my mind. I had given him enough blood, maybe too much, but it was necessary. He wouldn’t have been able to heal without it. Even now, his body was still weak, but at least his breathing had steadied. That was enough for now.I combed my fingers through his hair, moving slowly and rhythmically. It always helped when he was like this, when sleep was hard to find after taking too much from me. His body needed the rest, but his mind resisted. This was the only way I could soothe him. I let my fingers drift through the dark strands, focusing on the familiar texture and what little warmness there was left of his skin. He was still too cold as his body worked overtime to heal itself. My own limbs felt heavy, my eyelids drooping for just a second too long, but I forced myself to stay awake. There was no t

    Jacob*My wolf let out a low, mocking laugh. “Oh, that’s a solid plan. And then what? You think dragging her back will somehow get her to tell the goddess she forgives you? You think that’s everything will be solved?”I didn’t answer.“Good luck with that,” he scoffed.Frustration boiled in my chest. Rubbing a hand over my face, I snapped at him mentally. “Dammit. If you don’t have any ideas of your own, stop asking so many damn questions.”Before my wolf could fire back, a small voice cut through our mental quarrel."Are you scared too?"I blinked, momentarily thrown. Lowering my hand, I turned toward the voice, my sharp gaze falling on the small figure standing in the cottage doorway. Luke. He clutched a blanket tight to his chest, his big, solemn eyes fixed on me, waiting.Immediately, I forced my shoulders to relax, softening my stance so I wouldn’t seem intimidating. Taking a step closer, I crouched to his level."What makes you think I’m scared?" I asked.Luke shrugged. "You ke
