Chapter 171 Back from the Void
Lira Voss’s POV:
Finished
My heart gave a sudden jolt. Before I could react, he was already in front of me, grabbing my wrist and yanking me straight into his arms.
His scent hit me hard, wrapping around my wolf souls Victoria and Lily like a warm blanket. They both relaxed instantly.
He pulled me tighter, staring down at me with pure worry. “Lira, what’s wrong?”
I pushed him back gently and took a shaky breath. My forehead was already slick with cold sweat. My voice came out weak. “Kael, just listen. Let the people from the Trotter family go. I promised Leroy I would.

I sat up and looked around the strange room. It took me a minute to remember I was in Kael’s place in Silverwhip Pack.
“Lira, you’re finally awake! You’ve been asleep for two whole years. Victoria and I were so worried.” Lily’s voice rang in my head.

I did off the bed, my legs stiff from lying down so long I walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling windows Early spring had left the courtyard looking a little bare, but the staff were bustling around as usual.
After a quick wash-up I found the walk-in closet. Half of it was clearly Kael’s clothes. The other half was
stuff. I checked a tag and it was exactly my size.
