CLEO I must have dozed off for a minute because the next thing I knew, Laurent’s thumb was stroking my knuckles and the car had slowed down. “We’re almost home,” he said softly. I opened my eyes and looked out at the dark road, the trees a black wall on either side of us. My whole body felt heavy. I kept thinking about how long my mother been lying out there alone, and how I’d been alive the entire time, just a few territories away, having no idea. “Do you think she knew when she died that I was alive?” I asked. Laurent didn’t answer right away. I appreciated that he didn’t just throw out something comforting to make me feel better. “Erin said she was close to finding you. She’d figured out you hadn’t died in the attack. So I think she did. I think she died believing you were out there somewhere.” He finally said.My throat tightened. “That’s almost worse. She knew, and she never got to see me.” “Or it was the only thing that kept her going.” His hand tightened around mine. “

CLEO We got to the hospital early the next morning. Kyle was awake, sitting up with his sketchbook. He barely let me through the door before he held up a drawing. “Look, Mama. I drew the three of us.” It was three figures holding hands, one of them with a big wolf standing behind it. I felt my throat close up. I sat on the edge of his bed and pretended to study it so he wouldn’t see my face. “That’s the best one yet, baby.” “That’s you.” He pointed at the wolf. “Mr. Antonio said you’re really strong.” “Did he?” I laughed, though my eyes were stinging. “Well, he’s right.” Laurent ruffled his hair. “We have to go out for a few hours, Kyle. We’ll be back tonight.” “Where are you going?” “To see a friend of your mom’s.” Laurent glanced at me. Kyle’s face lit up. “Auntie Gabrielle or Auntie Valerie?” I hadn’t expected him to guess so fast. “Maybe.” “Tell her I said hi. Tell her she has to come back and see me after my surgery.” I nodded, because I couldn’t trust my voice. I ki

CLEORoman’s jaw ticked. He didn’t appear too eager to accept my suggestion and I couldn’t even hold it against him. If that was Laurent sitting on that bench, looking so damned miserable, not even the hounds of hell would keep me away from my mate. He ground his teeth, glancing at Gabrielle who had still not noticed her unwanted visitors. “Luna.” “I’m ordering you.” I held his eyes, because I needed him to understand how serious I was. “You don’t force her. Don’t drag her back to Blackfur. And don’t touch her if she doesn’t want you to. If she says no, you walk away. That’s a direct order from your Luna.” “And if she never comes back?” I felt my own throat tighten. “Then she never comes back. It’s her decision, Roman. If you want to keep her, then it has to be.” He stared at me for a long moment. I could see him fighting it, every instinct he had screaming at him to go get her. Then he gave me one short, stiff nod. I let go of his arm and turned around. I didn’t look back at

CLEO That was all it took. A sob broke out of my throat. It was so sudden I couldn’t even stop it. I pressed my hand against my mouth, but it wouldn’t stay in. Laurent placed his arm around my shoulders and just held me upright while I cried. I hated that this was how I’d finally meet my mother, as bones in a box, when I’d spent my whole life dreaming about a woman who would open a door and hold me tight. “She’d want you to be brave,” Rockne said, patting my shoulders awkwardly. “I don’t feel brave.” “That’s usually when being brave counts.” I wiped my face and nodded. I couldn’t speak.We carried her to the family burial ground behind the packhouse, the one place on Blackfur land that always felt reverent.The pack was gathered there, hundreds of them, dressed in black and standing in rows. Valerie stood near the front with her arms crossed tight over her stomach, her eyes red. Tabitha and the omegas from the kitchen had come too. Angel stood at the very back, bruises on her

CLEO When we finally turned around to leave, Rockne was standing a few steps away with his hat in his hands. His eyes were red and his shoulders had slumped like all the strength was gone out of him. He looked like he had been barely holding himself together for hours. I could see how much it had hurt him. “Rockne.” I walked over and hugged him before I could think too much about it. He went stiff for a breathe, then wrapped one arm around me. His touch was awkward and gentle.“She’d have been proud of you,” he said into my hair. His words cracked. “Will you come back to visit her? Whenever you want is fine. And please, I want you at the Luna ceremony too. You knew my mother so you’re the closest thing to family I have on her side.” His eyes filled with tears again. He nodded and couldn’t seem to say anything else. By the time the sun started to sink, the burial ground was almost empty. Valerie had left with a promise to bring me dinner later. The guards left stood at a respect

CLEO Laurent caught my jaw and lifted it. His eyes wer sincere, and bright. He pressed his lips against mine and spoke softly. “Whatever happens, I’ll be right beside you. But we aren’t going to lose him, Cleo. He’s stronger than either of us. He’s been fighting this his whole life, and he’s still cracking jokes and drawing wolves. That boy isn’t going anywhere.” I sniffled, forcing a smile onto my face. “You can’t even promise me that.” He pulled back enough to look at me, grinning to assuage my fear. “No, I can’t. But I can promise I’ll be fighting right next to him with everything I have. He’s not doing this alone, and neither are you.” I nodded and wiped my face on his shirt. Then I walked into the bathroom where the water was steaming. The air smelled like lavender. I sank into the bathtub after Laurent helped me out of my black dress. Neither of us spoke as he washed my hair gently. His hands were so gentle I relaxed into the tub, my eyes drawing closed. When the water was

CLEOWhen I stepped back into Kyle’s room, Valerie had arrived by then. She was out of breath and carrying a huge stuffed wolf. She set it on Kyle’s lap, told him it was the guardian of the operating room, and that it would be waiting for him when he woke up. Kyle hugged it to his chest and asked what its name was. She said he’d have to name it himself. He thought about it very seriously and announced that he would call it Mr. Fang. I stood by the window and pretended to look at the parking lot so nobody could see my hands shaking. Roman was outside the door. He nodded when I glanced out, the way he’d been doing since he came back. His attitude was formal and careful. There were still things we hadn’t said to each other. But he’d taken up his post at the door of Kyle’s room like nothing in the world would get past him, and I was grateful. The nurses came for Kyle after an hour. Two of them had a gurney, and a third brought a clipboard. Drake was with them, already in surgical s

CHAPTER 108CLEO I was on my feet before I’d even fully understood I was doing it. My heart slammed against my ribs so hard it hurt. I ran to him as Drake walked toward me still in his surgical cap, pulling his mask down. I searched his face desperately for any sign of what was coming.I couldn’t read his expression at all. Drake pulled his mask the rest of the way down before he said anything, and I thought my heart might actually stop.“Kyle is out of surgery,” he said. “It went well, Cleo. Better than well, honestly. The tumor came out clean without any complications. His vitals were stable during the surgery.” I heard the words but they didn’t make sense right away. I just stood there staring at Drake, wishing he could speak faster and dispel my fear. “He’s okay? My baby is fine?” My voice was so tiny. “He’s okay.” Drake’s face finally broke into a real smile. “He’s in recovery now. He’ll be groggy for a while, but you can see him soon.” My knees were so weak they gave out,

CLEO Roman shifted closer and lowered his voice. His expression was cold. “I was guarding the eastern border about an hour ago, and I caught a scent I didn’t expect.” “Whose was it?” “Malta’s.” My whole body became cold. “She’s supposed to be gone. We had guards watching for her.” He clenched his fist. “She was moving carefully. She was staying low, ans sticking to the old trade paths where the scent traps don’t reach as well. I only caught her because I know those woods better than anyone.” “Did you see her? Did you catch her?” “No.” He shook his head. “She saw me first, ans she ran.” I pressed my hand against my chest, my heart hammering. “She’s trying to come back into the territory. Why would she do that? She has to know what would happen to her if she’s caught.” “I don’t know.” Roman’s eyes were sharp, alert in a way that told me he was already three steps ahead, already running through possibilities in his head. “But I don’t think she’s just passing through, Luna. She

CLEO So she wanted Kyle dead? She’d just said it, plainly, to my face, with no shame at all. “You’re insane, Malta” I laughed, leaned forward and tightened my arm around her neck. “You’re fucking stupid and you’re going to die.” I shoved her back. “I’m honest.” Malta’s chest heaved, her eyes still burning with that same ugly fire. “Something none of you have ever had to be, hiding behind your gifted blood and power. I gave this pack everything, and it never once gave me anything back that mattered.” Roman finally spoke, his voice low and hard. “You tried to kill Angel.” “I tried to end something that never should have existed in the first place.” I couldn’t speak. I just stood there, staring at her, trying to reconcile this raving, hate-filled woman with the calm, clinical healer who’d examined my wound after the shooting. This woman had sat across from me discussing black wolf physiology like it was the most fascinating thing she’d ever encountered. It had never been fascina
