I had come to this remote mountain town for solitude after the betrayal in the city—my ex-fiancé’s lies still stinging like fresh wounds.

But it was a trap, and I was trying to save them from the panthers, but I couldn’t.” I sigh, leaning back to stare out the window. “When I realized I was alone in the van and the woman and her baby was missing, I fought like hell to get out of there.

My mom and brother cried tears of joy when they saw me sitting up and came up and hugged me tightly. Ethan exiled both Nathan and Sarah to the wilderness beyond pack territories. By then, Sarah had completely lost her grip on sanity. She would alternate between begging Nathan for forgiveness and screaming accusations at shadows. For a year, they wandered as outcasts. Nathan would appear at pack borders, begging to see me, while Sarah's madness grew worse with each passing moon. Sometimes she would laugh about my death.

Nikau was hot on their heels, but they ran like they were being chased by enemies. Neither of them looking back. She felt wracked with guilt as the expression of Duncan's pain flashed through her mind. She howled mournfully but did not slow. Having longed for a pack to call her own, it surprised her how quickly she turned her back on them. Duncan was only trying to protect her, but he was so stubborn and would not listen. She couldn’t go back to the packhouse. There were too many memories. She hoped her family and pack could forgive her someday.

Would someone dare hurt her in her brother’s territory? I almost trip on a branch in my hurry, but I catch myself in time, bringing me back to reality. As I walk deeper into the woods, my brain cannot help but wonder… where the hell is Wilda headed? Why does she have this much power over me? Why can't I seem to escape thoughts of her?
