“Let’s get Kassandra comfortable,” Sarah tells Jeremy, for which I am more than grateful as I am a mess right now and can’t think straight.Katherine was right—how the hell did the Moon Goddess pair Caleb with me? I am not fit to be Luna. Nightmares plague my night, and I have trust issues. Except for a few people, I hate being touched. Dark thoughts fill my head, and I don’t deal well with stressful situations. How can I lead a pack when I can barely function? I don’t even care about being a Luna, I just want Caleb back.Jeremy and Holgar help Kassandra get into one of the bedrooms and have her lie in a bed. Viki and Sarah go to look for towels and other things that are needed for the birth. Jeremy and Holgar go to check if the door of the bunker is closed and see how Conrad is doing, leaving me alone with Kassandra.I might not see faces, but I have always been more sensitive to the scents of those around me. Kassandra tries to hide her pain from me, but I can feel how much her body

It is around midnight when, with the help of Hector and Mark, I finish healing those that have been wounded. Those that are well help with removing the bodies of fallen pack members and preparing them for burial, while those of the enemies are being taken deep in the woods. Females and teens rummage through the remains of the houses, gathering all the useful items they can find. A few of the houses are still standing, but until they are checked, no one is going inside.The house belonging to Caleb and I got partially destroyed in the fight. I don’t have the courage to enter and see the damage done to it. Instead, I kept myself busy with healing anyone that is greatly injured. And when Caleb returns, we will rebuild it together.Kassandra, Conrad—who was brought to Hector just in time—and their baby girl—whom they named Irina—are doing more than well and are now resting in a room inside the Main House. Their house was entirely destroyed, together with all of their belongings.Conon is

I climb the stairs, two at a time, replaying in my head the conversation I had with Tristan and Tatiana.Caleb has been my friend from the moment he found me in the forest, in my wolf form, tied to a tree with silver chains. A muzzle was on Taos’s face, and despite his best efforts, he could not set us free. I thought we would die there, next to the tree where my stepmother and her spawn of evil left me to rot, but Caleb found me while he was looking for a territory to claim as his. He not only saved me and gave me a permanent house, but he became the brother I never had and I always needed. Losing him is like losing a part of myself.And now Kitty Kat is leaving.The hell she will.When I reach Caleb’s old room, where Kitty Kat is staying, I enter directly, not bothering to knock on the door.Rain is sitting on the bed, her gaze staring at the wall in front of her, agony like I have never seen before reflecting in her eyes. Sky sits next to Rain, and pain spears through my heart. Lif

If I could, I would laugh too, but I forgot how. Even a smile seems alien to me. “You already have one—Tristan.”Sky shakes her head. “Tristan is my father. But one day, I will have a dad. And maybe a brother or a sister.”An awkward silence falls around the table.I know Sky wants a real family, but I can’t give her that.“I think it will be only you and I,” I let Sky know. “And, of course, your father, and then there are Katherine and Glenn and Zeke. And many others. If you don’t want me to be your mom anymore, I understand. And one day your father will find a female he likes, and he will marry her, and she can be your new mom.”Sky thinks for a moment. “Father once told me he only likes men. And I still want you to be my mom.”I frown. “But he liked your mother so much, they had you.” Sky shrugs. Is there something I am missing? “I am honored to be your mom.”Someone knocks on the door.Kevin stands. “I will talk to Jordan and make him see reason about you not wanting to be in a re

‘Rain won’t be happy when she returns.’I pretend to work on my laptop, hoping Taos will leave me alone.‘You promised her,’ he insists.‘I can’t do it, okay?’ I snap at him.Because if I do go to Caleb’s grave, then I will have to finally admit that he is dead. Despite seeing his body with my own eyes, I had hoped that, somehow, it was not him. And bringing flowers to his resting place means that he is no longer here. I am not ready to admit it.The door to the office opens.Thinking it is Conrad, I say, “The things I bought for the Christmas party will be here sometime late.”The scent of violets wraps around me, making me dizzy.Violets.I look at the door.My heart beats like crazy.Taos wags his tail so hard my head vibrates.‘She is back.’ He is so happy, he is almost purring like an Alpha. Not that it is possible since Beta wolves don’t have that ability.I put the laptop on the coffee table.Tristan, Glenn, and Zeke are behind her.Act cool.Act cool.“Katherine.”My voice is
