I jump back from the window, startled, as the figure moves closer letting me see their face. “Sukie” I whisper in surprise. I make easy work of the lock and open the window. “How did you find me?” I ask excitedly, unable to hide the bright smile on my face. “I’m a witch remember,” she giggles in response. “Where’s Cypress?” I ask, looking around her expectantly, but Sukie shakes her head. “Witches can smell wolves so he would have blown my cover,” she explains.
I stand next to Paisley’s crib, holding the note in my hand. “I’m watching you,” I mutter the words. “Who could this be from,”
I rouse quickly, taking a deep breath to satisfy my burning lungs. I notice my body is soaked in sweat as if I spent hours in a sauna. I’m too afraid to close my eyes again, so I take slow deep breaths, in and out, attempting to calm my racing heart. When I finally feel like myself, I realize it was all a dream.

Malachi stares blankly at Luca, trying to take in what he just said. “No, there is no way,” Malachi commands in his Alpha tone. I look between them to see they’re both giving off intensive glares at one another. “I don’t want her to do it either,” Luca agrees with Malachi. “Wait a dang minute. What do you mean I have to die?” I ask curiously. Luca turns his attention away from Malachi and looks at me. “I mean, you have to be drained of every ounce of blood to break the curse. It’s possible, we could have a poti
I watch Amelia’s wolf pounce on Luca and I frantically look at Malachi. I send him a glare when I see him doubled over in laughter. ‘I guess I will be the only one to do anything about this’
After shifting into my wolf, I am overcome with a sense of freedom.
