Kaden’s POV“Hibernation?”Doctor Levi nodded, flipping through his notes.“It is not something new to the field of werewolf medicine but I have never seen it personally. Think of it as a deeper coma but she is bound to wake up any day now.”I looked at the heart monitor, anxiety spiking inside me as I waited for that one loud beep every few minutes.Elara’s heart rate had slowed down to just ten beats per hour, her face and lips a pale blue.“Do you know what is causing it?” I asked.“The poison should have killed her but the energy from her wolf kept her alive, at the detriment of her wolf. Her wolf is only trying to recover that–”“Doctor! Doctor!” a panicked voice came from down the hall.A nurse was running to us, waving a folder above her head. “Update from the lab.”Doctor Levi opened the lab report. As he read, pain flashed in his eyes so quickly that I thought it was a flash of my imagination.“What is the problem?” I asked, thinking I had prepared for the worst.Nothing coul

Kaden's POVMy wolves watched me as I walked out of the third Reaper’s den, my entire fur went with blood.“How many were they this time?” Cain asked me as I shifted to human form.“A few dozen. I did not bother to count.”“Did you find out who it was?”“No…but they keep a secret record in one of their backrooms. Take the men to raid it.”Cain nodded but I could feel his immense discomfort. I had robbed him of being able to avenge his sister.“There are five other locations throughout the country,” I said. “You and your brothers can split it amongst yourselves.”“Thank you, Alpha,” he said, walking a lot straighter as he led the men.Cain worked fast.As I logged into my laptop in the pack house, I had an email from him in my inbox.I opened it. It contained images of all he could find on the attack on Elara.Firstly, there was a picture of her and description of her appearance.To be attacked in the evening before she returns to the Alpha's house.Then, I moved to the amount paid. So

Elara’s POV I watched the smoke rise into the sky, my face blank. Missy laid my head on her shoulder. “You can cry if you want to.” I nodded but no tears sprang to my eyes. Deep down, I wondered if something was wrong with me. My brother’s body was being burned. I should be wailing beside him. Rosalyn walked to us, dragging Leo behind her. Leo sat on the ground in front of me and lay his head on my thighs. His eyes were bloodshot from crying. “Can we go home now?” he asked, his voice hoarse from all the screaming. “The baby needs to sleep.” Rosalyn dropped to the ground beside him, her arms wrapping around his body. “The baby and I are fine. We will sleep later.” I ran my hands through Leo’s hair soothingly as Rosalyn continued to whisper into his ear, lulling him to sleep. Whether it was from sheer exhaustion or his body finally deciding to give him respite from all the grief, Leo fell asleep for the first time in three days. “Should I move him?” Rosalyn asked wh

Kaden’s POVAdaira did not turn around when I entered her tiny cabin..“I was wondering when I would see you,” she said.“You know why I am here?”“The people of Caelthorn have been tiptoeing like there is lava on the ground. It was not difficult to put two and two together.”She turned around, her aged eyes seeming to peer into my soul. Whatever she saw caused her to frown in sympathy.“I am sorry for your loss…the child, I mean.”I nodded, trying not to think too deeply about it. “That is not why I am here.”Adaira nodded. “Luna. She must be going through a hard time.”That was the problem. Elara did not seem to be mourning the child at all.I opened my mouth, trying to explain how much Elara had changed in the past few days, but came up short. My chest tightened in frustration.“At ease, child,” Adaira said. Her voice seemed to envelope me in warmth. “Take your time to think. We are in no hurry.”“Elara is…distant,” I finally said after a few minutes.Adaira nodded. “That is natura

Elara's POVWhen I blinked open, it was morning.I tried to remember what had happened last night but came up short. As I tried to sit up, my hand landed on a mass of silky hair.Kaden woke up and got out of the chair to sit at my bedside. “Elara, you're awake!”I stared at him for far too long before climbing out of the bed. A dull ache spread all over my body.“How long have I been asleep?” I asked.Kaden looked at me like he expected me to collapse any minute. “Almost a full day.”“Have we–”There was a knock on the door.“Who is it?” Kaden asked, getting to his feet.The person was silent for a moment and then opened the door. Lillian stood in the doorway, her chest heaving with every breath.“Will it be possible for me to see Elara…Luna Caelthorn?” Her voice was low, wrought with pain. “The baby. It keeps turning inside me–”“Get out,” I said, slipping off my jacket.She fell silent, her hands dropping from her belly. “What?”“Someone out there. Call Leo for me.”Leo came a few
