“Why? What’s different now?”“Look. If what you’re saying is true, then Maddy should have been a shifter since she was a kid. I have no idea why her wolf has been dormant for so many years, but once the royals know their assassin wasn’t successful, they’ll increase the pressure. You have to be more careful. Something bad is coming.”“Shit, Maddy, what’s wrong?” Felipe asked.I spun in my seat. Maddy looked terrible. Her face was pale, and her eyes were unfocused.She shook her head. “I… don’t…” She never finished the sentence. She slumped over. I barely managed to catch her before she hit the floor.“Jesus, she’s so pale,” Felipe said behind me. “What happened?”It was all I could do to stay focused. I needed to help her. My anxiety was almost too much. I’d made a promise to take care of her, and now was the time. “Felipe, call Doc. Tell him we’re on our way.”The next hour went by in a haze. Maddy never quite lost consciousness, but she spoke like she was in a gauze-covered dream. No

I tried to tell my wolf that I was sorry, doing my best to make sure she could feel my sorrow. So many years of lies and secrets. I apologized, and almost instantly, my wolf’s anger subsided. It was like she knew how sorry I was, that I’d had nothing to do with the deception. It was the first time I truly felt like a whole new being was inside me. I started to sob, and my wolf seemed to wrap some sort of emotional blanket around me. I could hear her whining, hurt by my own pain. I continued to repeat that I was sorry in my head. Over and over again, I apologized, not stopping until I managed to gain some semblance of control. Finally risking to open my eyes, I saw that my hands had gone back to normal. I released a sobbing sigh and smiled.Doc helped me stand and walked me toward the bed. “I want you to stay here tonight. I need to keep you under observation. I’ve never known anyone to be on suppressants for so long, so I have no idea what the side effects or withdrawal symptoms might

This was bad. I did my best to look calm for Maddy, but I was freaking out inside. I put the car in park and stared through the windshield. My fingers gripped the steering wheel so hard, my knuckles were white.Javi stepped out of the shadows. He raised his hands, gesturing that he was unarmed, and nodded at me to get out of the car.Maddy curled her fingers around my thigh. “You can’t. Nico, you can’t go out there.”I sighed. “There’s not much else we can do. I’m sorry. I guess I didn’t plan this as well as I thought. At least out there I’ll have a shot. If it goes bad, I can shift and try to fight them. Give you time to run.”Maddy’s eyes were full of tears as she shook her head, flinging her hair back and forth. “No. They’ll kill you.”I put my hand on her cheek. “Let me see what Javi has to say. If you see me start to shift, that’s your signal to run. Got it?” The remarkable calm in my voice surprised me.Maddy didn’t agree. All she did was loosen her grip on my leg. I took that a

“It’s okay,” I said.“I was just getting some food ready for an early dinner. Hope you like Swedish food. Smoked fish, roasted potatoes, and of course meatballs. I made a bit of everything, I wasn’t sure how hungry you’d be.”Other than some dill-flavored potato chips and a Swedish chocolate bar, we hadn’t eaten anything since leaving America. Nico and I both dived in, devouring everything Kenneth had put together.After eating Kenneth’s entire spread, the three of us sat and relaxed by the fireplace. Nico and I on the couch, Kenneth on a recliner.“Well, we have news about Javi,” Nico said as he sipped a cup of hot chocolate Kenneth had made for us.“Is he dead?” Kenneth asked hopefully.Nico shook his head. “Even crazier. He’s allied himself with us. He turned his back on the royals after they ordered him and his pack to kill three eighteen-month-old babies in El Salvador.”“Eighteen months old?” Kenneth said in horror. “Because they have some shred of the old blood in them?”I nodd

The sound of a clearing throat echoed across the room. We turned and saw Kenneth sitting by the door. We’d both forgotten he was sitting right there. “So, do you guys need some alone time?”33MADDYI’d never been so sore in my entire life. My muscles felt like they were being pulled apart every time I moved, my bones ached, even my hair seemed to be throbbing. The only good thing was that my wolf seemed calmer now that the full moon had passed. It took a few days of recovery for me to understand that my building anxiety when we arrived had been the wolf knowing that the full moon was approaching. She’d known what was coming and had been freaking out. She was trapped inside me.The first day I spent in bed, then each passing day, things got better. By the third day, I was pretty much back to normal. Sore but normal.I found Nico in the kitchen that morning. He was just putting his phone down.“Who were you calling?” I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.He glanced at me and shru
