“So, what happens if she doesn’t wake up?” I asked Stella.

“We don’t have time to keep messing around with this s hit,” Mason spat. “Stella, if you expect us not to fight you, then you have to tell us what we can do.”

“Gabriela could come back here at any second,”

Zane said quietly. “If she sees Lanie like this,won’t the High Council also see it? How will we be able to explain it to her without revealing everything?”

“This is a pretty terrible time for the Moon Goddess to put her in a f ucking coma,” I said with my fists clenched. I waited for lightning or something to strike me for my blasphemy.

I almost welcomed it. At least that would be something I could understand.

Something I could hate the Goddess for.

“She’s not in a coma. She’s walking in the world between,” Stella said after a moment. Her expression shadowed. “She’s having trouble returning.”

I growled. My wolf paced. He wanted to leap out of my skin. I wanted to let him. If I was my wolf, I wouldn’t have to deal with any of this.

No. I shook away that cowardice. An Alpha didn’t run. Not from a fight. Not from trouble.

And not from this.

“I was going to leave her as long as the Goddess wanted her, but…” Stella hesitated. Her shoulders bowed, and her head hung. “I’m sorry, fathers. I’m sorry for how hard this all is.”

Her head went up. Her eyes blazed with a swirl of colors, finally settling on a brilliant gold rimmed with silver. I’d never seen anything like it, and the sight had my blood running cold. I’d known our daughter was powerful, but in this moment, she didn’t look…human.
