The nausea was building up, I blamed the pregnancy as the culprit. The kitchen was clean now
and Lana followed me around talking but I couldn’t fully hear her, my mind distracted by the
presence of my wolf unhappy with Carter’s absence, anxiety prickled under my skin. The
wolf’s uneasiness grated through me as we made our rounds in the livingroom righting pillows
while Mazzie peeked out of the closed curtains. Carter never closed them but when he left
Mazzie had made her rounds around the house blocking out the world from the inside out.
The impending doom I felt cut me from the world, sat heavily with me, but I couldn’t stay
still.
I glanced at Mazzie as her eyes glassed over, my heart thrumming in my chest. I didn’t
recognize it for what it was but the wolf did. Mazzie shot into movement and a chill washed
over me before a few moments later I found myself on my knees screaming his name from my
lips. Mazzie’s and my eyes locked as Lana bent to react to my sudden hysteria.
“Do you still feel him?” Mazzie barked. Tears leaked from my eyes, and it took me a moment
for me to understand what she ment before I closed my eyes praying he was still there. The
bond was still intact but his side was vacant.
“Yes, but its like the dead end of a phone call,” I tried to discribe. Mazzie cursed as I looked to
Lana who pulled me up off the floor. I focused on my breathing but the nausea rose in me as I
ran for the downstairs bathroom and emptied my dinner into the toilet. Lana was behind me
grabbing my hair up as I glanced up to Mazzie as I finished hurling my guts out.
“I think they took him,” she said softly as my heart hammered wildly in my chest.
“What do you mean?” I stammered, forcing myself to my feet.
“He went to Jake’s place to clean up a bit before he went to town. He said they were there and
then he cut me off. Undeniable rage bubbled up inside me.

“What do we do now?” Lana asked.

Mazzie’s eyes shifted from mine to hers. There was real fear there, but also absolution. Carter
had given her one job and that was protecting me. I felt a growl escape my lips.
“We wait, or we get you the fuck out of here. What’s going to be Alpha?”
I blinked as emotions collided through me. Not just that she chose to value me in that sense,
