Chapter 233
Lo
The ceremony was just about as exciting as I had anticipated. The lore, the history of the Sacred Call–it was incredible! Deidre’s recitations of the process were lovely. I hopped anxiously from foot to foot as she spoke.
Perrin squeezed my hand. “Are you nervous?”
“Not at all!” I said honestly. “This is exciting!”
“Didn’t you just see Justin’s last year?” He mused, eyes watching my face.
“Well, yes. But I was in the audience as an onlooker. This is different, seeing it all up close.”
He let a low chuckle sound in my ear as he pressed a kiss to my temple.
“Are you ready for our big debut?”

Perrin“Where is she?”“Upstairs.”“She just showed up?” She asked, a little breathless, making her way as fast as she could in her shoes.“I don’t know. Ethan mind-linked me right at the end. I think Dina found her outside in the back of the pack house.”Jack appeared at my side. “Can you handle the press?” I asked him urgently.“Me?” Jack asked, baffled. “Uh, sure. Ok. What do I say?”“Follow Mark’s lead. We’ll be back as soon as we can.”Jack nodded sagely and turned to face the flashing cameras.

DeidreI had thought about spending the afternoon with Jason, but he didn’t seem like he wanted company. He had made a comment about taking a stroll to the garden, which meant he wanted some alone time with Sienna’s spirit. I understood. It was a pivotal time in Perrin’s life, and I respected Jason’s desire to share with her the privacy of anticipation. Of pride. Of love. I would have wanted to share the same for Kyle if Ethan was still competing tomorrow. I smiled down at the small golden ring on my right hand.The evening after we had the twins, he had brought me a ring with two pink diamonds embedded in the band. A quiet, secret testament to our commitment to our family. I had worn it every day since. On pensive days like this, I took to fingering it, touching the small rosey stones. I found myself doing the same now as I figured out what to do next.

Perrin“Where the hell did she go?” I ran my hands through my hair, annoyed.“I can scent her, but it’s faint. I don’t think she waited long.” Justin sniffed around all of the entryways. “There’s the scent of some Chiyad guards at this door, but that’s all I’ve got.”“You think they took her?” I asked anxiously. Of course they did.“She said her father was stationing guards everywhere. It’s a reasonable guess.” Lo sighed in resignation. “She probably thought you ditched her.”“So what now?” Ethan asked, gesturing at the empty room. He looked to his mate. “I’m sorry. But I’m exhausted. My leg is killing me and I

JustinJustin?The words ricocheted around my brain like an unwelcome game.Can you hear me? Are you there?My brain fuzzed in confusion. I opened my eyes but saw nothing but darkness. What—Thank Goddess you’re alive.Gowan?Yes. Are you alright?My head hurt and I tasted blood in my mouth. But that didn’t mean anything. I took full stock of my body. I could feel blood in my mouth.Where am I?Basem

PerrinIt was consuming. Maddening. Motivating.The sheer magnitude of having her in my arms was the most welcome weight in my life, anchoring me to the present. I couldn’t quite understand what it had been like not to have her; this center of my world. Not the entire world, but the best thing in it; holding me in place, even before we mated. She had been there over these last months, growing in my mind, capturing pieces of my heart, bit by bit; so slowly that I didn’t even realize that it was happening. And just as easy as falling asleep, wholly and without knowing, I had fallen in love.In the mere days of our fledgling mateship, I hadn’t become an expert. But standing here, holding her against me, I knew that I had made space for her in my life before the Goddess had done her own work. And that made me believe that w

PerrinHer body was soft and supple, warm beneath my hands. I craved her, driven mad by the desire to have her. But I also wanted to explore her, worship her, and give her the divine pleasure she so righteously deserved.Her body lay uncovered in the soft sheets of my bed. She practically glowed, her skin lumiscencent from the soft case of moonlight from the window. The early morning cast long shadows through the window, but left the curves of her body on full display.I lay beside her, my hand repeating trails along the bend of her waist, up the arc of her hips, and back down her thigh; lazy in its wanderings but deliberate to feel her flesh. My eyes had been mesmerized by her breasts. They were perfect, their rosey nipples hardening beneath my hands, and I took advantage of her eagerness to touch her freely. I ran my hands all over her

Deidre Oh my Goddess. I was on my knees, the fluorescent lights above flickering to life. My eyes were glued to her stomach, her hands coated in blood. Her face was grimacing in pain. “What happened?” It was the only thing I could say. My brain usually turned off all emotion and began its clinical analysis of the situation. But just like it had weeks ago with this same she-wolf in the room, my mind began to fuzz, blurring the line between emotional fragility and professional healer. “There were… four of them…” she began, but then cut off. Her face scrunched in pain as she held her middle. I pried her hands away, anxious to see where the blood was coming from. Her fingers wouldn’t move. “I’m here

Deidre“Come on, come on!” I said, muttering under my breath, praying she’d pick up.“Who are you calling?”“Jennivah. I need her to help me.”“You promised to call Perrin!” Jesamine shouted at me, full of alarm.“You need to lay down!” I had finally hoisted her into a nearby gearney and was wheeling her off to another lab. I needed scans to know just how bad this was. And Jennivah picking up wasn’t helping. I contemplated calling Irene.“Call Perrin!”“QUIET!” I shouted, phone cocked between my shoulder and my ear as I used two hands to steer her. Jennivah still
