SkyI felt weak, not the same wolf I once was. It was as if the strength to open my eyes was too much so I just closed them. Even my sense of smell was lost, because before I could tell when both Husk and Winter were in the room. Except the last time I opened my eyes, I could see Winter, and I hadn’t even smelled him. I wasn’t just losing my wolf, but I could tell by the sadness in Winter’s eyes I was clearly losing my life. I was only thirty years old, but I felt as if I was in my nineties.Typically, I would have a healthy appetite and want to eat. Now I didn’t feel like doing anything. My mind was trapped in this feeling of all the things I wanted to do and hadn’t done. Like I wanted to visit the Grand Canyon, swim with the dolphins in Barbados, which was pretty hard considering I couldn’t swim. A sadness crawled inside of me, the feeling of death and not having completed everything I wanted to do in life. The bucket list I should have been checking off instead of trying to find

FaguaI backed away from the vehicle with Keith’s lifeless, bloodied body in the trunk and shook my head. Ma’s words and everything crashed into my head and my heart pounded.“Hush, Fagua,” she cooed and used her magic to shut the trunk before leading me away to the alley on the other side of the diner.I didn’t even realize I was making any noise until she told me. I wiped at the tears falling freely from my eyes. True, I hadn’t known Keith long, but I’d married him. He was my husband and now I was a widow.“What did they do to him?” I asked, my voice cracking. Even though he’d ran out on me and everything, he didn’t deserve death and certainly not in the grisly way it appeared like he’d died.Ma licked her lips, looking around before answering. “He wouldn’t tell your father where you were. He was caught on the road from Vegas. Someone had beaten him up, but paid for his medical treatment. They must have used magic on him because he couldn’t remember anything else. Not how to find yo

FaguaI stumbled backwards as the wolves closed in. His words promised to deliver exactly what he’d said. I didn't know what he'd do to me, but I didn't like the gleam in his eyes or the wolves around me."How come you've never turned, girl? Got too much of your damn Ma in you." He sneered. "All you need is a few bites to get the change fever going. Handy it's a full moon coming up soon."I'd never been bitten by a wolf my entire life. "That won't work. If I haven't become a wolf now, I won't ever.""Only one way to find out. Get her, boys."The wolf closest to me leapt up, and I screamed, ducking out of the way. Luckily, the wolf missed me and sailed over my head. The man only laughed like he watched the greatest comedy show ever while I experienced a horror movie.Another wolf charged but stayed low. His fangs dug into my calf. I tripped, falling forward onto my stomach. Pain shot up my leg, and I shook all over. Mud caked all over my body. Another wolf snagged my arm. His teeth pi

HuskMy knuckles bled and were sore from punching the brick wall outside the hospital. And I still didn’t fucking feel any better. Upstairs, Sky was hooked up to more machines than I’d ever seen in one room before. He was fighting for his life while I walked around and doing whatever I wanted.And Winter... I clenched my fists, fighting the urge to return outside and punch the bricks again. Well, he’d screwed our brother over for her, a flighty woman who’d fled at the first fucking chance she got. She wasn’t my mate, no matter what Winter or Sky or anyone else bloody thought. My mate wouldn't have left; she’d have fought.Sky was in a coma and Doc didn’t think he’ll come out of it. I didn’t get to tell him goodbye. Or that he’d made me proud to be his older brother. Tears burned the back of my fucking eyes and I grumbled as the elevator took too damn long to open.This morning Doc planned taking Sky off life support. Said he’d been on it too long and we’re just prolonging his pain. Do

Sky“It is so good to be home,” I stretched out on the pool float with a beer in one hand and my shades in place.“Don’t let it go to your head,” Winter chided from the patio door. “It’s your turn to do all the dishes after dinner.”I waved him off as Fagua slid into the pool wearing a red bikini. I tried not to stare at her. She and Winter had made up. Listening to them have sex last night was nearly too much for me. Husk had stormed out being his usual stubborn self and hadn’t returned all day. He’d probably slink back in when dinner was ready in an hour or so.“By the way,” I said, lowering my sunglasses as she swam over to me, “I don’t think I ever thanked you for healing me. Without you, I would’ve died.”“I was happy to help. And you saved me, too. I’d still be stuck at home with my Pa if not for you.” She tilted her head to the side and gave me a teasing smile. “So when do you think your powers will come back?”“Not sure.” I was still weaker than I’d liked from my hospital stay
