(Kanyon's POV)"Does he have a name?" Lily asked.Jace suddenly went quiet. It lasted all of a second."She's asking about me. She's asking about me.""You're giving me a migraine," I muttered.I returned my attention to Lily. "Jace. His name is Jace.""Jace," she repeated.Jace practically lit up inside my head."He's the reason your eyes turn golden, right?"She had no idea what that question had done to him. I nodded, trying to keep him under control.Lily hesitated. "Can I—"My eyes flashed gold.I regained control and Jace stayed quiet. For a moment, neither of us moved."You're embarrassing me," I told him.He merely huffed.I cleared my throat. "Sorry. He's impulsive sometimes."Lily laughed.The sound made something warm settle in my chest."I'd like to meet him someday," she said. "If that's okay.""Of course." I answered too quickly. "You can meet Jace." I sighed. "Although he's annoying. It feels like there's someone constantly talking inside your head.""What does he nag y

(Kanyon's POV)I retired to my room after dinner. Freya had already told me Lily had eaten, though she'd spent most of the day in the library... again.I'd been busy all day, so I hadn't gotten to spend much time with her like I had the night before."You're already making plans to spend time with her again," Jace snorted."Acting like you weren't the one telling me to spend time with her so we could build a stronger bond." I rolled my eyes internally."So you weren't going to spend time with her until I told you to?""No. That's not what I meant.""Ah. So you do like spending time with her.""She's fun to talk to.""So you like her?"I froze.Like...Like Lily?My gaze drifted toward the window."She's beautiful," I finally said."Yeah, obviously. But you didn't answer my question.""I'm tired.""You're ignoring me—"I looked toward the window again."Oh, look. First snow of the year.""You're kidding me."I ignored him and walked toward the balcony.The first few flakes drifted past

(Kanyon's POV) I let out a breath. "Why do you think I'm here?" "It's good you remember what's at stake." "I have to protect my pack." "We all have someone we want to protect." Her eyes drifted toward one of the witches carrying a crate of dried herbs and spices into the outpost. My mind went back to Lily. Her smile last night when she'd seen the snow. Our conversation in the library. The way she'd looked at me when she finally called me Kanyon instead of Alpha. I wanted to protect her. And if helping her meant putting my trust in the witches, then I had to do it. I turned toward Heather. "There's something important I need to discuss with you." Her brows pulled together. "Okay..." "Not here." My eyes wandered around. There were too many ears. She glanced around before walking toward a small hut near the edge of the outpost and I followed. "I'm with Heather. Let me know when the supplies are done." Eric's response came through the mind-link almost immediately. "Okay."

(Tyra's POV)I taught Mrs. Kalloway how to make the tea, and she was surprisingly easy to work with. I was glad she'd agreed not to tell Kanyon. I still felt bad for disobeying his orders. If he ever found out, I hoped he wouldn't be too disappointed in me.Afterward, I went to the library.I sat in my usual chair by the window, but instead of reaching for a book immediately, I found myself staring outside.The snow had continued falling throughout the morning, covering the grounds in a thick white layer. Everything looked so peaceful from up here.My thoughts drifted back to the memory I'd recovered yesterday.My best friend.I still didn't know her name, but knowing she existed somehow made my past feel a little more real. I wondered what she was like.Maybe she had moved on with her life, never knowing what happened to me.The thought made my chest ache.I hoped I could remember her name soon.I stood up and looked around the library.My thoughts shifted to Kanyon. He'd been gone

(Kanyon's POV)I turned and headed for my room.After days of travelling and dealing with the witches at the northern outpost, exhaustion finally caught up with me. I took a long, hot shower, letting the warmth loosen the tension in my muscles before changing into something comfortable.The moment my head hit the pillow, sleep took over.When I finally woke, the room was quiet and dim.I pushed myself upright and glanced toward the window. The snow had stopped falling, leaving the pack grounds covered in a thick layer of white. The last traces of daylight stretched across the sky, casting a faint glow over the snow before the sun disappeared completely.I rubbed my eyes.My stomach growled.That's when I realised I hadn't eaten since I'd returned.I sighed and got out of bed. Apparently, surviving a long trip wasn't enough. Now I had to remember to feed myself too.I headed downstairs and made my way toward the kitchen to grab something quick to eat.I made my way to Athena's room.I
