26 Grief and Strength

Cayden POV

I can’t move. I can’t breathe. I feel like I’m not even in my body right now. Even before Lily and the doctor came out, I knew she was gone. Our bond as twins broke the minute she took her last breath. I don’t know how to live in a world without Clara. I had truly hoped that killing that ba**ard and driving that witch away would save her from what my father had said in my vision. I feel arms wrap around me but I can’t even respond. “Cayden”, my mother’s soft whisper breaks me even more. I may have lost Clara, but I had eighteen years with her. She has lost her twice and this time she is never coming back. I look into the eyes of this woman that gave us both life and I break even more when I see her pain. I step back and turn to face the doctor, who looks broken. I can’t bring myself to care about how she feels right now. My sister is dead. “Take me to her now” I demand. She looks past me. I’m sure seeking someone’s permission, which pisses me off. “She is my sister. Take me to her now.” She turns and I follow her down the hall. I can hear footsteps behind me and I know it’s my mother.

When we reach the door, the doctor steps aside and I place my hand against it. Once I walk inside, it’s real. I push the door open and when my eyes land on Clara’s body I just stare at her. The air in the room is still. There is no rise and fall to her chest. No warmth surrounding my beautiful sister. My mother walks past me and wraps my sister’s body in her arms. Her sobs break me and the tears that wouldn’t fall streak down my cheeks. I walk over and take her hand in mine. Her skin still feels warm. I bend laying a kiss on her forehead. “I’m so sorry Clara. I wish it was me lying here. You deserve to be happy with your mate and your pup.” “Cayden, don’t do that” my mother says through her sobs. “It’s the truth. She deserved to have time with her pup and Eli. Please bring her back and take them” I start to plead with the goddess as I fall to my knees. I’m again wrapped in my mother’s embrace. “Your sister would not want to hear you say that.” “My sister can’t hear anything because the f**king goddess took her from the people that loved her.”

here without Clara. Maybe someday it will be different, but right now it’s not.” I see fear and panic in her eyes, which I know makes me the biggest a**hole but I don’t know how to breathe here. She pulls me into a hug again and I hold my mother. I know I will see her again,

Lincoln POV

border, I’m broken. Eli is lying unconscious on the ground. I shift and rush to my pup. His breathing is shallow and his skin is cold to the touch. Losing our fated mates when we are bonded is enough to kill us. Faith cannot lose Eli now that she has lost her mother. Losing Clara feels like losing one of my own pups. I push my own grief away as I manage to lift my son with Talon’s help. I reach the hospital and the waiting room is empty. I can’t even think about where everyone has gone as I yell for the doctor and nurses to help my son. They rush over and I place him on the gurney. “Alpha, I will do everything I can but the fight to live is up to Eli and his wolf.” I know what she says is true. I lean down, “Eli, I know it would be easy to follow Clara, but your daughter needs you”, I say before they wheel him through the double doors. I feel myself give into the loss of our daughter and

all understand how this could happen.” “Where is Eli? Where is our pup?” Before I can answer, she is standing in front of me. I see Lily holding our precious granddaughter with pain on her face. I know she is blaming herself for not being able to save Clara, but she can’t. This is no one’s fault. I pull Amelia into my arms and she sobs “Eli is strong. I know he will come back for that little girl.” She squeezes me tighter and I pray to the goddess I’m right. The door opening gets both of our attention. Evelyn and Cayden walk toward us. Amelia wraps Evelyn in a hug and

don’t always understand the goddess’s plans, but you need to let your guilt go because you have no blame for what happened.” The doctor bursts into tears and Amelia holds her rubbing circles on her back. My mate is truly amazing. When the doctor pulls back, she smiles but it doesn’t reach her eyes. “Thank you, Luna. I will try to believe that.” She leads us to the room where our son is lying motionless in a bed surrounded by machines. The beeping that signifies his heart is beating gives me some comfort. Talon whimpers again seeing our pup broken and barely hanging on. Amelia walks over and slides

Silas POV

remember our bond, but I know I did it because I loved her enough to let her be happy with a human that deserved her. That pain was nothing compared to the feeling of my bond with Clara and Cora breaking. I don’t want to go on. My chance at happiness with my mate is over and now I pray for death to take me from this pain. I remember the darkness consuming us as we ran through the trees, but I have no idea where I am now. I can’t feel Eli, but I’m sure he is as broken as I am. “Silas” I hear a soft female voice. I turn to see a beautiful wolf. She looks like Cora, but she doesn’t. I know that makes no sense, but right now nothing does. I walk toward her and sit on my haunches when I’m a few feet from her. “Silas, I know that this is hard, but

growl. “Silas, you were given this second chance because of the sacrifice you made for Amelia but that doesn’t mean that life will be without it’s trials. You and Eli will not always be broken unless you choose to be. Our pup is the part of Clara and I that you will always have but we are not your future.” My heart breaks all over again hearing Cora speak about our future. We can’t have a future without them. “Yes you do, but you can choose to throw that future away and deny the gift the goddess gives you because you’re hurting. We don’t want that for the two of you. I can promise you that Clara and I want you both to be happy. We want you to go back and love our babygirl with all your heart and when the time comes, we want you to open your heart again to the goddess’s gift.” “We can’t” I start to say and she growls. “Silas, you

but you need to accept the gift the goddess gives you. It was always meant to be this way and you will never know how happy you two have made us. Now it’s time to go back and wake up.” Everything in me wants to stay with Cora until
