Maddie POV             Sitting in the freezing cell I look at the scraps of food and water provided to me.  I had lost weight since being taken captive.  There were days I was terrified I wouldn’t survive.  I had to believe someone was coming for me.  That someone missed me.  I knew Lara was impersonating me but how could Drake not know it wasn’t me?  Was my family missing me?  Did they not find it strange that I didn’t know them?              I have been going through various stages of grief.  Anger, denial, acceptance.  Although I couldn’t fully accept my fate.  I had to believe Drake would find me.  Or Samuel.  I knew my brother wouldn’t stop until he located me.  At some point, someone had to figure it out.  She wouldn’t smell like me.  One night I felt a bit of pain in my che

Kate POV             Twelve hours later we were on our way back to the Golden Moon Pack.  So much had happened in such a short time of period.  I had been attacked, lost my pup, and realized we had all been betrayed.  By yet another half-sister.   Or potential half-sister.  We had yet to confirm that Maddie was an actual half- sister.             Colby had shown me the space we would create a memorial for our little girl.  It was a beautiful spot in the garden where we could put a little bench with a tree planted in her memory.  Along with flowers and a little plate on the bench honoring what should have been her life.  It brought tears to my eyes thinking about it, but I loved Colby more for making it a priority for me.             I couldn’t help but

Kate POV             It is time.  We are loading into the SUVs to drive the forty-five minutes to the spot we will get out and start the hike to the location.  Shelby has been touching the outer edges of my mind.  I know she is there.  I simply do not know if she will be in full form.  Colby has offered to carry me, which I am still laughing at.  I am not sure I would feel comfortable getting on his back, even if his wolf is slightly bigger than mine.              I am a fast runner, so I think I will be able to keep up for the most part providing we have a good running pace.  And I am still hopeful that Shelby will be ready to make an appearance.  She has nothing to feel guilty about, but I know guilt is weighing her down right now.  Guilt at not being able to protect the pup.  The reality is the odds we

Drake POV             Everything was running through my mind.  I had just watched my Alpha, my brother, be killed by rogues.  He was only here to help me.  Many did not know he was my brother.  We did not discuss it a lot.  What I knew was that his death would impact my life.  I suddenly find myself the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack.  I had never anticipated being the Alpha.  I was an Alpha by blood, but it was always understood my brother would be the Alpha, so I never took much notice.             I had grown up supporting him.  When we discussed me being his Beta, we had agreed I would continue supporting him in his role with the intention I would be the spare Alpha should anything ever happen to him.  You never expect something to happen to your Alpha.   It would change so many things for Maddie an

Kate POV             Looking around the area, I was trying to spot Lara to see where she may have gone off to.  I catch a glimpse of her black leather jacket going around the corner of the building.  I start to run to follow her when Jasmine screams for my help.  I look at the couple and see that Samuel has an arterial leg wound.  Running toward her, I rip the material from his injured leg from his jeans where his wound is running red around him.  Grabbing a branch, I call to one of the warriors.  I wrap Samuel’s leg using the branch to help improvise a tourniquet.  He is bleeding way to fast.  I do not know if he will make it.              Yelling orders to the warrior and calling another over, I tell them to run him back to a vehicle and get him out of here.  I have Jasmine continue to hold her hand over the
