It’s been three days. Three excruciatingly long days since I left Felicity. She asked me for time, so that is what I plan to give her. Even if it kills me.Dex on the other hand, has had a hard time respecting her wishes. His desire to be with her, to meet her wolf properly, to push the mating process, have all been clouding his judgement. The constant battle to keep him contained is exhausting. As hard as all of this is for me, I can’t imagine what she’s going through right now. Especially since we have yet to find any trace of Parker’s body. It's as if he vanished completely. We followed his scent to the edge of the forest and then it just disappears.She can’t even give him a proper burial and I know she needs closure to move forward. We’ve had scouts searching the entire forest. Scouring every corner, making sure he didn’t make it somewhere to hide, but every attempt to find him or his body has come up empty. “Do we have any information on Tobias’ whereabouts?” I que

“Welcome back,” a beautiful, brown haired she-wolf greeted us. “Maleigha, nice to see you as always,” Kai smiled, nodding at her. “Cami, it’s nice to officially meet you. I’ve heard great things,” Maleigha beamed, shaking Cami’s hand. “Wyatt, looking great as always,” she winked and I felt a pang of jealousy seeing the way she looked at him. “You must be Felicity. I am so sorry for your loss. I only met Parker briefly, but he seemed like a really great guy and it was clear he loved you so much,” she explained, pulling me in for a tight hug. “Vincent sends his regards. He’s in a meeting currently and will see you all in the dining hall for dinner. If you’ll follow me, we will head to the pack,” Maleigha smiled. The four of us followed her to a large black Suburban, climbing inside the back. “Any luck on finding your mate?” Kai asked Maleigha. She stuck her lip out in a pout, “Unfortunately not. Still single and having a good time until I meet him,” Maleigha smirked

A dream about Parker woke me from the most restful sleep I’ve gotten in a while. Being wrapped in Wyatt's arms feels safe, but guilt settles in my chest as my fingers run up and down his arm. I frowned, suddenly feeling hesitant about moving forward with Wyatt so quickly. I knew that we had been building a relationship long before Parker passed, but it’s still so fresh. In my dream, Parker was still alive. I felt him. Not just physically, but his presence. It felt more than a regular dream, but not immersive like my future telling dreams. I watched from afar while he played with Helena in the yard of the house that we built together. She was a toddler. Parker chased her around while she ran screaming happily. I felt a stray tear roll down my cheek thinking about the dream. Helena will never have those moments with her father. She never even got to know him. That chance was stolen from the both of them. It makes my heart hurt to think about everything that we lost. I

I watched as Kai carried Felicity away, my heart shredding into pieces. The burning pain in my soul was unimaginable. Ash howled in pain, making my head throb. I knew I was dying. It’s such an interesting feeling. The pain from the arrow was nothing compared to the feeling of knowing that my life was over. That I would never see my daughter grow up. That I would never hold Felicity again. The rain had long stopped and I’d gathered enough strength to drag myself behind a fallen tree, hoping that at least I could die in peace. I silently prayed to the Moon Goddess to take care of Helena and Felicity in my absence. I felt dampness on my cheeks, but I don’t have the energy to wipe it away. I lay back in the mud, staring down at the hole in my chest. Black spidering veins crawled from the wound. My skin had grown ashen and it was getting harder and harder to breathe. Each breath felt like someone lit a torch in my lungs. ‘I’m sorry, Ash. I wish you could have had more

Maleigha nodded, sniffling again. “Felicity and I are fated mates. She had a dream, about the future, where we were getting intimate," I exhaled a heavy breath, "and Vincent was taking pictures of us.” I watched the blood drain from her face. She stood in front of us pale and wide eyed. “Oh. My. Goddess. I am so ashamed. I came in here the other night, in front of Felicity, and tried to come on to you," she gasped, shaking her head and pacing, "You guys are mates. What have I done? I’m so sorry for being so disrespectful....” Maleigha rambled on. “Felicity is an amazing she-wolf. She understands that our situation is less than conventional, and I’m sure she will hold no ill will." Maleigha nodded, sniffling, but looking unconvinced. The door to the suite swung open, “Wyatt, I need.....” Felicity stopped, seeing everyone gathered around the television. I rushed over, pulling her in for a tight hug and kissing her on the top of her head. Every moment that she'd spent
