Jessi's P.O.V. After my impromptu meeting with Selene, I can't go back to sleep. I lie against Wyatt and listen to his steady breathing while I try to process everything that happened. I can't help blaming myself. This would have never happened if I hadn't been adamant about letting our wolves run. I remember feeling like someone was watching us when Wyatt threw me to the ground. He must have felt it, too. Was the arrow meant for me or him? I look at his face, and it looks ashen. I've tried to talk to Scar, but he's not responsive. I'm assuming he's feeling the brunt of the effects from the silver. Was it a rogue or someone else who shot at us? Just as the sun begins to rise, I hear a knock on the door before Zoe and Ryder walk in. "How are you, Jessi?" Zoe asks, giving me a hug after I sit up on the side of the bed. "I don't know, honestly." I quickly tell them about my meeting with Selene

Wyatt's P.O.V.My girl is lying beside me, and I can't be happier. That is until I realize I still can't open my eyes. I can feel Jessi against my side and her head on my chest. I want to wrap my arms around her, but I can't move. What happened to me? Why am I stuck in my head? I keep thinking back to our run, since it's the last thing I can remember. I feel like I'm missing something important. I can hear now, so that's something, at least. There's no noise other than Jessi's light snoring. I won't tell her that she snores; she'd probably deny it. I wonder how long I've been stuck like this. Has it only been a few hours or days? Maybe now that I can hear, I'll be able to figure something out. I feel Jessi moving next to me, and I want to tell her not to leave. Luckily, she's just moving closer. She's my light. I'm in the dark right now, but knowing she's out there waiting for me keeps me from going insane. When I hear her sweet voice, I want to cr

Jessi's P.O.V."What? Are you sure it was Gabe?" I ask Wyatt in disbelief. How could it be him? He's been training me for years. He was always a little gruff, but I figured that was because he had been a warrior for so long. Wyatt takes another drink of water when Zoe brings him a fresh cup."I'm positive. I saw him clearly, and that's not all. He had the arrow pointed at you, Jessi. He would have shot you if I hadn't moved you out of the way." I can't believe it. Why would Gabe want to kill me?"I don't understand. Why would he try to kill me?" I ask. Selene was right. Those I thought had my back don't, and those I thought were against me aren't. I don't know who to trust anymore. How am I going to take these men into battle when I have to look over my shoulder to see if one of them is trying to kill me?"Look at me. I need you to stay strong. If he thinks you're on to him, he'll disappear. He came to see me today, and I'm worried that he may

Jessi's P.O.V. When we hear the mindlink, Wyatt and I jump up and run to the door. I stop him before we go out. "You can't be seen. If they see you're back to normal or even close, it could put you at risk. Stay here. I'll mindlink you what's going on." I can see the frustration on his face, but he nods. "Okay. Be careful; I love you." He leans down to kiss me, and I curse the damn rogues for interrupting my alone time with Wyatt. "I love you too. Hopefully, I won't be long." I tell him before opening the door and running out. I see the other warriors and guards running toward the front door in various stages of dress. The next attack shouldn't have been until tomorrow. Why the change in pattern? I reach downstairs as the door flies open, and the three rogues rush inside. I pull out my long knife as I run toward them. When I'm almost there, I leap in the

Jessi's P.O.V. I jump out of bed as soon I get the distraught mindlink from Ryder. Wyatt and I throw clothes on and race out of the room, no longer caring who sees him walking. Guards and warriors are frantically looking for the princess everywhere. When we reach the office, I hear Zoe's sobs, breaking my heart. Ryder runs to us as soon as we walk through the door. "What do you mean, Samira is gone?" I ask him in disbelief. Ryder falls to his knees with tears running down his face. "When we get up, we always peek into her room to check on her. When we went in this morning, her bed was empty. At first, we thought she had gotten up already, but we knew something was wrong when we couldn't find her or mindlink her. I found this note on my desk." Ryder hands me a crumpled-up piece of paper before standing up and going to Zoe. Both of them are sobbing. Lucas is there, too, with tears streaming down his cheeks. As I rea
