I sat at the kitchen table, absentmindedly tracing the grains in the wood grain with my fingertip as my mind raced. The sun was high in the sky, a warm summer day that should have been spent lounging by the poolside and enjoying ice cream with my friends, if I had only been given the luxury of enjoying a normal life.

But there was nothing normal about my life anymore.

First, my father was still missing. No word had come from him or any of the envoys who had been sent in search of him. He was off somewhere, chasing a dragon, and very well may have been dead.

Ever since Ronan had led us to that warehouse in the forest, I couldn't shake the feeling that we were still missing something some crucial piece of the puzzle that would finally shed light on whatever this mysterious Schreiber family was up to.

After all, if they were coming to take me or my child away, we needed to be prepared-more prepared than we had been with Mila. But the 'family', if that was even what it was, was elusive.

The image of that drugged, fearful wolf being dragged into the warehouse was seared into my brain. What fresh horrors awaited it inside those walls? And why would the Schreibers want a baby like mine? The thought made my
