Maya's POVThe machines surrounding Knox's bed beep in a rhythm that's getting slower. Weaker.I sit beside him, holding his hand even though he can't feel it. He can't feel anything anymore. He looks so pale. So still. Like he's already gone and his body just hasn't realized it yet.“His heart rate is dropping.” A nurse checks the monitors, her expression professionally neutral but I can see the concern underneath. “I'm going to call the doctor.”She leaves quickly. Too quickly.Maverick stands by the window, his arms crossed, jaw clenched so tight I'm surprised his teeth don't crack.Lizzy paces near the door, her grey eyes darting between Knox and the hallway like she's waiting for something or someone.“This doesn't make sense.” Her voice cuts through the quiet. “His vitals are failing but there's no medical reason. The tests show nothing wrong.”“We know,” I say flatly.“So what are we supposed to do? Just sit here and watch him die?”Yes. That's exactly what we're doing because

Maya's POV“Cassie? CASSIE!”The line goes dead.I stare at my phone, my heart hammering so hard it might break through my ribs.She collapsed. Cassie collapsed while we were talking.“What happened?” Maverick is beside me in an instant, his hand on my shoulder.“Cassie. She said she was coming but then—” My voice breaks. “She can't move. Something's wrong with her, and then the phone just… she's not responding.”“Where is she?”“Home. Our apartment.” I'm already moving toward the door, grabbing my jacket. “I have to go. I have to get her.”“Maya, wait,”Maverick catches my arm. “Knox?” “I know!” The words come out as a sob. “Just stay here with him. Cassie is dying too and I can't… I can't lose both of them.”Maverick's expression shifts to understanding, then horror. He's scared, we are all scared, God. “The mate bond,” he whispers. “It's killing her too.” His voice is shaky for the first time since I knew him. Neither Knox or Maverick breaks or show weakness, especially in front

Maya's POVClara's healer quarters look nothing like a hospital. The room is warm, lit by soft glowing orbs that hover near the ceiling. The air smells of sage and something sweet I can't name. Herbs hang from wooden beams overhead, drying in bunches.Knox and Cassie lie side by side on a large platform covered in soft furs and woven blankets, still unconscious.“Lay them closer,” Clara instructs, her voice calm despite the urgency of the situation. “They need to be touching.”Maverick and Adrian adjust their positions carefully. Knox's hand brushes against Cassie's and even unconscious, something shifts. A visible wave of energy passes between them.Clara sees it too, her expression sharpens with focus.“Good. That's good. The bond recognizes the connection.” She moves around them, placing crystals at specific points. “But it's badly damaged and worse than I expected.”“Can you fix it?” The question rips from my throat.Clara doesn't answer immediately. She's too focused, her hands m

Cassie's POVEverything hurts, that's my first thought as consciousness drags me up from the darkness. My body aches like I've been hit by a truck. My head throbs, and my throat is dry.But something's different.The pain in my chest, the constant, crushing ache that's been there for weeks, is gone. It's not eased or manageable, but totally gone. My eyes flutter open. The ceiling above me is unfamiliar, wooden beams, soft glowing lights that don't look like any lamp I've ever seen.Where am I?I try to sit up but my body won't cooperate. Everything feels heavy and disconnected.Then I suddenly feel it. Warmth in my hand. Pressure. Someone holding on.I turn my head slowly, and my breath catches instantly. Knox!He's sitting beside me, his hand wrapped around mine. His emerald green eyes are wide with something that looks like panic, relief and fear all tangled together.He's here. He's real. He's—“Cassie.” His voice is rough and broken, like he's been screaming or crying or both.T

Knox's POVAlpha Warren just pulled up outside. The words hang heavily in the air like a death sentence.My father. Here. Now. With Cassie awake and in the same building.Terror unlike anything I've ever felt grips my entire body. “No.” The word rips out of my throat. “No, he can't… Cassie needs to hide. Now.”I turn to her, gripping her shoulders. Her amber eyes are wide with confusion and fear.“Cassie, listen to me. You need to go somewhere he won't see you. A back room. Anywhere. Just… you can't let him see you.”“Knox, what?” “Please.” Desperation creeps into my voice. “Please just trust me. My father can't know you're here. If he sees you, if he figures out what you are to me—”“We're done hiding her.” Maya's voice cuts through. “Knox, this is insane. How long are you going to keep running? How long are you going to hide her like she's something shameful?”“I'm not…” I spin toward my sister. “I'm protecting her! You don't understand what he will do to her.”“We understand perf
