"Take her to the dungeons and make sure she is comfortable." Jarek roughly helps me to my feet. While I hobble on one foot, I stare Jarek's father in the eyes. I refuse to show that I am in pain. I am my mother's daughter after all. Squaring my shoulders I hold out my hand for the Alpha to shake. "I don't believe we have been properly introduced. I AM Keena Lyall. Daughter of King Erebus and the Hybrid Queen Ella Lyall. And you are making a very big mistake."

KAIDA I stood between realms, a fragile dam against a rising tide of spirits.

She gives Javi's mum a hug. She's so pretty, her jet black hair so long and curly totally shaming my annoying hair. "Charlotte you made it."

Tristan’s jaw ticked, clearly not convinced but he pushed it off. “Let’s go,” he said instead, his arm still firm around me as he turned us away from the clearing.

And somewhere deeper inside me, under the fear and confusion, a darker truth stirred — the knowledge that this wasn’t over.

I saw wolves with too many limbs, maidens with hollow faces, a tall hooded figure whose eyes glowed even in the dark, men with unusual claws, and children whose heads were unusually big. I saw all of them. “Kaida!” I felt a hand on my body and it caused me to bat my eyelashes. I stopped looking right in front of me and realized the voice I had been hearing belonged to Alpha Kellan.
