I spun in a circle. Where was I?“You said you trusted me.” The Maiden stepped up next to me; her youthful face was glowing. “I do.” I answered. “Then follow, and see the truth.” She walked through the trees, and I followed. The leaves that were brown and should have crunched underfoot remained whole. The Maiden walked above it all for a while but then, between one step and another, her feet connected to the ground. “Who’s there?” A deep voice called out in the darkness, and I watched her hesitate before stepping out from behind a bush. “Henny.” The voice warmed, and there were footsteps that rushed out to meet her. I stepped out from behind the bushes and froze. That face. I knew that face. He was still so young, just barely twenty, but his face was bright. “I have missed you, my love.” He wrapped the goddess in his arms, and they kissed. I felt my face fall in surprise. The last time I saw this young man, he was covered in wolf bites, on the verge of death. The Moon Goddess brou

I blinked, and I was back in the cell. The smoke was gone, and everyone was watching me. “What?”Rowan and my father snorted, but it was Mom who walked over to me and grabbed my face. “Are you okay?”I tilted my head at her and smiled. “Of course I am. Why?”She searched my face. “It’s been like twenty minutes. You were surrounded by smoke, making choking noises, and then there was silence. We thought you died.” I felt my throat and eyes change. I saw a soft green glow, the color of my magic, shimmering on her skin. She sucked in a quick breath. “Your eyes…”“I wouldn’t harm her. Like your Moon Goddess, I have chosen her.” The voice that came from my throat was a blend of voices, and it didn’t sound natural. I watched my mother fight not to recoil. She bowed once and stepped back against the wall next to my father. “Please.” She waved her hand to the man in the chair. Theo trembled as we walked close. “You can’t do this to me.”I felt my face smile. It was a little more jarring than

Megan was holding back from me. “What are you keeping from me?” I dodged another attack, but my wolf remained silent. I waited for another minute, but still she refused to even look at me. “Fine. If you don’t want to tell me, to trust me, then I will do things my way.” Her head snapped around, and Nix growled. But I ignored both of them and attacked the wolf in front of me. I just needed to injure it enough to get by. Megan growled. You are wasting time. “And you are lying to me. Something we promised years ago to stop doing.” I managed to grab the wolfs leg, and I heard a snap. I dropped it at my feet, then turned and headed straight for Toya. “So either we trust each other, or we don’t. You can’t ask me to blindly trust you when you won’t do the same for me. You either trust me to do what’s right, or you don’t.” I made it to the ring of wolves attacking Toya and her mother, and I started snapping at legs. “Make your decision before I make it for us.”Megan looked at Nix, but my Ly

Mama, it’s me. Urbi ran towards the fire, and her mother followed us. Why are you here? She glared at me. I’ve allowed no one but my family into my sanctuary. She turned on her daughter with a growl. Why did you bring her here?I’m here to save you. I climbed down from Urbis back. Will you allow me to? I held out my hand and waited. She glared for another moment then walked over, sinking into the sand next to me. What do you need?I just need to touch you. She nodded once, and I placed my hand on her leg, where she was hurt. I sent a call to Megan, and I felt power rush through me, through Toya, and into her mother. She growled, but quieted as she felt the power rush through her. What is that? Her eyes grew wide as she turned to me. Magic. Not healing per se, but extra power. You can direct it to do what you need. You know your body better than I do. She shuddered, and I felt her skin jumping under my hand, the power making the muscles dance. I can use magic? She sounded breathle

I started attacking before I could think. My mate was in the center of this death ring of attackers, and I had to get to his side. Megan! I screamed, and I watched her wince. Start funneling him power. He’s weak and not healing. Okay! She ran back into the trees. And soon I felt the pull of power, and my stomach untwisted. Rowan’s head snapped up, and I saw a little panic enter his eyes. “GO!” He bellowed at me as I grabbed another wolf and shook it. Sequan dodged in next to me, and together we started tag teaming the wolves from the back. “I said leave me!” Rowan screamed again after he had swiped the face off a wolf trying to sneak in from behind. I refused to answer him or even look at him. He wasn’t going to convince me to leave him here, ready to die at the edge of the fight. “Stupid man.” I growled lowly as I raked my claws down another’s flank. It took a few deaths before the crowd realized we were attacking from the back. Some turned to face us, but they were no match for
