~ JESSE ~ It took an intentional decision not to back away. “I can honestly say, I haven’t laid a hand on him.”The Governor did smile then. “You’re a quick study, aren’t you?”“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”He huffed. “You said you didn’t lay a hand on him—which is not the same thing as being responsible for his disappearance. Not the same at all. But your answer is exactly the kind ofanswer I give when I’ve made a decision, but forced others to enact it for me,” he said calmly, his eyes locked on mine. “I am many things, Jesse, but I am not stupid. He disappears. Now you’re here. And the wolves are dancin

~ CASIMIR ~As she cleared the path through the mess I’d made, I could already feel her exhaustion, so as I got my emotions under control, we began sharing the power back and forth, both of us weaving, but both giving control at times, the power washing in and out through our hearts, joining us, fueling and bolstering both of us.Jesse was saturated with it and I watched her in awe, knowing how intoxicating it was to hold that in her hands and restrain it.‘Don’t hold yourself back, Jesse, it will just reduce your physical strength further. Trust yourself. You know what you’re doing. Use it. Let it go.’She nodded and let it all flow a little freer and faster as we drew our attention closer and closer to the people nearer to us in th

~ CASIMIR ~It was hours of driving and wielding. I was pumping with adrenaline and fury, so even though I wearied, I was energized as well.Poor Jesse’s body was so heavy and her heart so full, she slumped against me in the back seat of the vehicle, heavier and heavier, until I urged her to lay down with her head on my thigh.“You can just give me your power and rest, beautiful,” I murmured, stroking her hair and staring out of the window as the city slipped past beside the highway.I’d turned all the wolves away and helped her change into more comfortable clothes. She’d sighed with relief when she was out of that dress and into sweats and soft shoes. But the dark circles under her eyes worried me—along with how pale she looked.

You can’t just rush at them because they’ll see you coming—and besides, I won’t be able to keep up.”“Which is fine, because you won’t be coming. This is a hunt, Jesse. You’ve just swept this entire area of threats. Now you’re going to stay here while I take the power in there with the Gammas and—”My entire body jolted and my back spasmed. “Cazz, no! We do this together, remember?!”“Love, you got us this far&md

~ CASIMIR ~I’d been through almost every inch of the catacombs and to its depths. I’d run as my wolf and sprinted as a man. I’d fought alongside guards, Gammas, and even healers. I had blackened the tunnels to blind human eyes, and darkened the stone with blood. I’d played minds like musical instruments, and I’d fought like the warrior I was trained to be.The tunnels stank of death—human death. And the few men who’d invaded our mountain and remained alive now fled before me, believing themselves bitten and poisoned by impossible creatures. The few that remained would die because they knew too much.The pack ran behind and before me, those with training racing after the humans, to kill any that broke through the compulsion, and to keep the rest moving.
