POV: VAREK

The kid says her name.

“Malia.”

The sound of it stops me cold.

Not slow. Not soft. It hits hard. Like a punch straight to my chest. Like I forget how to stand.

I can't help but stare at him in complete shock, frozen. I don’t blink. My hands feel wrong. Too heavy. Too far away from me.

“No,” I say. My voice cracks. I hate that it cracks. “You don’t know that name. How do you know that name? Did your mother tell you about her?”

I don’t feel it at first. I just keep going until my chest burns and my head feels like it might split open.“I will not lose another.”My fists are tight. Too tight. Something warm slides down my palms. I look down and see blood. Mine.Good.“I will not lose another.”I punch a tree. “FUCKER!!!!” I roar into the silence The bark cracks as pain shoots up my arm and so I punch it again. And again. And again.“She believed him,” I say out loud, even though no one is here. “She fucking believed him.”My breath comes out rough as I drag my hands through my hair and laugh, but it sounds wrong. Too sharp. Too close

Fire that already burned everything and left it broken. The ground was cracked and black and my feet hurt even though I wasn’t walking.And Varek was there.He was standing in the middle like the fire knew him. Like it stopped because of him.

Bigger than the sky in my head.The wolf was stuck.Dark things were wrapped around its legs and neck. Like ropes. Like shadows. It couldn’t move. It didn’t fight.

For a second my brain doesn’t even load what’s happening.Then a rogue wolf jumps at me.I scream and roll off the bed, grabbing Arin before I even grab my own breath.“Mom?” he squeaks, half-asleep, clinging to my shirt like a baby koala.“I got you, I got you!

    POV: KAELI wake before dawn with my hand already on my knife.No dream. No sound. Just that cold punch in my chest that drags me out of sleep like someone grabbed my spine and yanked.I sit up fast. My heart slams so loud it feels like it shakes the whole cabin. My breath is sharp. My wolf is already pushing at my skin, ready to tear into something.Someone is here.Not inside. Not in the yard.Right outside the wall.I can feel it like a hand pressed to the back of my neck.I stay still for a second, knife tight in my fist. I look at the door. Then the window.
