Noah"What?"I’m still asleep and this is a dream. It’s the only thing that makes sense."Kowalski's at the gate. My dad's with him. They're not asking to come in."Heidi's talking fast. I can hear that she’s nervous."They say they need to talk to you about a truck and driver that disappeared on the road to town."Dax is already grabbing his keys off the hook."Don’t open the gate and stay inside the fence. We're coming."I hang up and take the stairs two at a time, shouting at Dax, “Need to grab something, start the truck.”Heidi called last night too, right after she spoke to her father.I went to bed knowing they'd found Corben’s body, and Gavin is telling anyone who’ll listen that the wolves crushed his throat.Dax eavesdropped shamelessly, waited until I hung up, and then said, "Well. They're not wrong about the throat," and I laughed so hard I had to put my face in the pillow.The nightstand drawer sticks the way it always does. I lift the paddle out and put it on the bed, and

Dax"Why did you pick grey?""It came in grey, brown or black. It’s light grey, it’s the closest to white they had. The other site had white, but the tail wasn’t right. It was kind of mangy looking. And the plug looked uncomfortable. I chose quality over color."Noah's sitting cross-legged in the middle of our bed holding the tail. It’s long and fluffy, attached to a curved black plug about the width of my thumb, and he's holding it hopefully, waiting to hear my decision.'GREY,' my wolf says irritably. 'It's the wrong color. We're white. He's black. Nobody in this bed is grey. Does he like grey more than white?'It’s great how I’m always used as a go-between when he’s unhappy about something Noah’s done. Heaven forbid he berates him about anything himself.“If you were looking for a white one, am I to assume the intention is for me to wear this thing? Or were you in the mood for a change?”The box came home in the truck two nights ago and has been sitting on the dresser since. It sti

MaximThere’s only one heartbeat on the other side of the door. Leon’s at Finn’s again.I already knew that, because she told me when I texted to ask how she was doing.I’m still working on convincing myself that’s not why I’m here. That I know how foolish it is to visit her without a chaperone.I’m too intelligent to fall for my own lies, which leaves me relying on my self-control, which is notoriously weak when it comes to Heidi Sweeney.Which makes me the kind of idiot who’s knowingly playing with fire, and still, here I am, on her doorstep, utterly incapable of convincing myself to leave.I hear the tempo of her heart increasing slightly when I knock. Then she opens the door and it climbs substantially when she sees who's standing on her step."You left the bar on a weekend night.""Mervyn's in charge. If I return to a crater, I've earned it."She laughs, and the beat in her throat climbs even more. I'm inside before she's finished stepping back, because I've spent six nights at a

Dax"Stop."Nineteen hunters and twenty-one wolves stop moving at the same second, and it's Noah's voice commanding them, not mine.He's standing on the rim with his hood up and his eyes unfocused, staring through the ground the way he’s been doing since we got here two hours ago. I can feel the echo of the pounding in his head."It moved, but I think it’s settling again," he says with a frown.Down on the ice, Finn's got both arms full of birch logs and he's frozen mid-step like a kid playing statues. He doesn't put the wood down. He doesn't do anything. He just looks up at Noah with his eyebrows all the way up in his hair."Wait," Noah says. "Okay. Go."Finn and the hunters behind him all start moving again. The hunters are carrying shipping pallets on their backs. Trying to get a fire going directly on the ice would take forever. And this way the fires will float when the ice melts.They’re all walking like the ice might bite them, which is extremely valid. Nobody’s going to be mak

Dax"Can we run?" I ask Lillianna.I’ve got promises to keep and I’m in a hurry to get to the great part of today.Noah's on his knees in the gravel, still mostly naked and shaking so hard my entire body is quaking with him.I've got dust in my mouth and forty people at my back, and the only thing I care about right now is whether my mate and I are allowed to go and be wolves in the trees.Lillianna looks at me the way she looks at the goat."Run. Roll in the snow. Dig a hole and howl in it, for all I care. There's more rock on top of that thing now than there is on top of the whole town. It can't hear you anymore."I won’t disabuse her of the image she clearly has of me and Noah frolicking innocently in the snow.“Thank you. Do you need a ride home first?” I force myself to ask, thinking Please say no, Please say no.“I’ve managed on my own two feet my entire life, boy. I don’t need to be ferried about now. The walk will do me good. Nature always replenishes my stores.”She’s looking
