I stopped breathing. “And Luke?”

Kenan looked at me. “When I heard the noise outside, Luke was awake.” My fingers tightened around his. “But when that bastard came out, he had Luke over his shoulder and he was fast asleep.”

The room seemed to tilt.

I had to close my eyes. If I kept them open, I was afraid everyone would see exactly how terrified I was. I pressed my fingers against my forehead and drew in a slow, trembling breath.

    Krista*I stopped breathing. “And Luke?”Kenan looked at me. “When I heard the noise outside, Luke was awake.” My fingers tightened around his. “But when that bastard came out, he had Luke over his shoulder and he was fast asleep.”The room seemed to tilt.I had to close my eyes. If I kept them open, I was afraid everyone would see exactly how terrified I was. I pressed my fingers against my forehead and drew in a slow, trembling breath.Don't panic. Don't fall apart. Inside me, my wolf was raging. She wanted Asher dead. She cycled through a hundred different ways to kill him, each more vicious than the last, and every one of them involved making him suffer for what he had done to Luke, to Kenan, to Jacob, to all of us.I understood her rage, I shared it. But I couldn't afford to let it control me. More than ever, I needed a clear head. Luke was still missing, and every second we wasted drowning in anger was another second he was out there without us.Kenan shifted restlessly under

    Krista*“Goddess,” I breathed. I tried to rise and my legs failed me. I sank back to the floor, unable to take my eyes off him. “Thank you,” I whispered, my voice breaking. “Thank you, Goddess.”Jacob crossed the room immediately, dropped down beside me and gathered me into his arms. I let him. My arms went around him at once, careful for only half a second before instinct overwhelmed caution. I held him tightly, pressing myself against him as if I needed the physical proof that he was real.His arm wrapped around my waist while his other hand settled against the back of my head.“How is Kenan?” he asked.I swallowed. “He'll live.”For a moment, he said nothing, then his voice came quietly. “Where's Luke?”My grip tightened around him. The question hurt more than I expected. I held him for another second before forcing myself to ease my arms because of his injuries. “I don't know.” My voice nearly cracked. “I rushed here as soon as I could. I found Kenan like this. Nobody has seen Lu

    Krista*I forced myself to remain calm. “Not if I can help it. Every time Kenan has received an injury that should have killed him, I’ve given him my blood.”Her eyes widened.“It accelerates his healing.” I glanced down at my own bloodied hands. “I don’t know exactly why it works. I have theories, but nothing more than that. I think it’s because I’m a full-blooded wolf. Something in my blood seems to activate the werewolf side of his body and gives it the strength to heal.”I had expected disgust and maybe disbelief. Instead, Leah’s expression hardened with determination. “I’m a full-blooded wolf too. I want to help.”Something inside me eased. “I’m glad you said that, because I’m going to need your blood.”Leah immediately nodded. “I’ll give it.”“I’ve already lost a lot of blood tonight,” I explained. “I don’t know how much more I can safely give him without putting myself in danger.”Leah didn’t hesitate. “I’ll do anything to save him.” Her certainty struck me. There was no fear

    Krista*I had already wasted enough time running here. I couldn't afford to lose another second to panic. I opened my eyes. Elder Miriam was watching Leah and me with obvious concern."With what I've administered to him, he should have stirred by now," she said quietly. She glanced down at Kenan. "His breathing is steady, at least. But that's about all I can say." Her mouth tightened. "His body isn't repairing itself." There was frustration in her voice now, the frustration of a healer confronted with something she couldn't understand. "Even unconscious, Kenan's body should be attempting to close a wound like this. I've given him herbs to stimulate his healing, and I've used every restorative technique I know. Nothing is working."She shook her head. "I'm beginning to suspect poison."I looked down at Kenan. His face was frighteningly pale, his chest rising and falling with shallow breaths. Blood had dried in places across his skin, while fresh blood still seeped from the terrible wo

    Krista*I ran hard, blinking furiously against the tears burning my eyes. I would not cry. There was no point in crying when I did not know anything for certain yet. I did not know whether Luke was safe. I did not know whether he was hurt. I did not even know where he was. All I knew was that Alpha Asher had taken him.Keep moving. I dragged in a ragged breath and forced my legs to go faster. Keep moving. Find Luke.My lungs burned, the wind whipped against my arms, and my heart pounded so violently that I could hear it in my ears, but I refused to slow down. Every instinct inside me screamed that I was wasting precious seconds, that somewhere out there my son was frightened and calling for me.I had to find him. I had to—I nearly collided with a group of wolves charging through the trees. I skidded to a halt, my feet digging into the earth as several Red Moon wolves immediately reached for their weapons. Then Samuel stepped forward, and the alarm on his face when he saw me was almo

    Krista* My entire body tensed. Behind me, I could feel Jacob’s fury through the bond.The Rogue King extended a hand toward me. I stared at it for a second before I walked past him, refusing to take it. If he found the rejection insulting, he gave no indication beyond the slight curve of his mouth.I forced myself to keep walking. Every step away from Jacob felt wrong. My instincts screamed at me to turn around, to fight, to do something. But I had made my choice. Jacob was alive. That was what mattered. For now.“How do I know you won't kill him anyway?” I asked.The Rogue King shrugged. “You don't.” I looked at him sharply but he seemed entirely unbothered. “You can still feel him through your mate bond, can't you?”I swallowed. I could. Jacob's presence was still there, furious and agitated, but unmistakably alive.“The moment you can't feel him anymore,” Alpha Asher continued, “you should feel free to maul me.” His tone was so casual that a chill ran down my spine.I glanced ov

    KristaWhat had I expected? That Jacob would magically fall in love with me just because we’d spent a few years married? That he would look at me one day and suddenly see me, really see me, instead of the shadow I’d become in his life?I let out a bitter laugh, though it sounded more like a sob. Wh

    KristaAs I entered the house, the door creaked softly behind me, though the faint murmur of activity throughout the manor drowned out any noise I made. Before I could even take another step, one of the maids rushed toward me, her face flushed with anxiety as she fumbled with a small notepad in her

    Krista“And then there’s Liam,” she said, her tone dripping with drama. “I heard he’s been sneaking off to the human town again. You know what that means, don’t you?”I raised an eyebrow, leaning in just enough to show I was invested. “What does it mean?”Greta’s voice dropped even lower. “He’s see

    KristaI watched from a distance as Greta chased after her three boys, her voice carrying on the wind, strained and full of exhaustion. They were darting in every direction, little whirlwinds of energy, their laughter ringing out in the warm afternoon air. It was a familiar scene, one that made me
