Trenton's wolf flashed through his eyes as he looked at my torn dress again."Did he do that to you?"I looked past him towards Alastor, who was still standing beside the carriage speaking to Dwight. Even though they were several feet away, I knew better than to assume Alastor wasn't listening because werewolf hearing had ruined more secrets than alcohol."Not here," I whispered.Trenton followed my gaze, and understanding finally crossed his face. He nodded once, so I left him standing there and went inside.For the next half an hour, I concentrated on Rachel because she was the only thing I wanted to think about. I didn't want to think about Ashley or Mount Hecate, and I certainly didn't want to think about RJ, Alastor or Trenton. For the next thirty minutes, I just wanted to be a mother spending time with her daughter.I helped Rachel change into her nightdress before sitting on the edge of her bed while she told me every insignificant detail about her carriage ride.

WINIFRED'S POVIt was a beautiful Tuesday night, and after the morning I'd had, I needed a drink.Several, actually.I had made the elixir for Luna Ava and left it cooling on my kitchen counter.

The sky was dark during the days and even darker at night, with thick grey clouds hanging over the forest as though the sun and moon had finally grown tired of this miserable place.I couldn't blame them.I read Winnie's note a few more times before tossing it into the fireplace.The Witch Elders said no.I cared zero what those Witch Elders said. Ashley was coming with me. The only problem was that I had no idea how the hell I was going to sneak her out of Sharptooth territory. Her wolf was bound, which meant she couldn't shift and run, and I couldn't exactly stroll onto Alpha Roland's land and ask him if I could borrow his daughter indefinitely.Opal was my only connection to Ashley, and somehow, I had to find a way to get a message to her and have Ashley meet us somewhere without anyone becoming suspicious. It sounded simple when I thought about it like that, except it wasn't simple at
