Chapter 231

I jolted awake, the scream barely stifled in my throat as my body shot upright in bed, a cold sweat coating my skin.

The lingering images of that awful nightmare haunted me.

Peter. Bleeding. His body crumpled on the floor of that small cabin.

And standing over him was not just Fiona, but…

Axel. His brother.

Axel had betrayed him. Had betrayed all of us-his Alpha, his pack, his family.

The image was so clear, so seared into my mind, I could almost smell the iron täng of blood on my tongue. In the dream, I had been Peter, had felt the pain in his side when the knife plunged in and the terror when he’d realized that Fiona wasn’t alone in that cabin after all.

That was how I knew that it was more than just a dream.

“Edwin. Edwin!” I reached over and shook my mate, the ring on my finger catching the moonlight like a crystallized droplet of blood.

“Audrey…?” Edwin’s voice was thick with sleep. “What’s wrong?”

“I… I had a nightmare.” My voice sounded strange in the stillness of the room, small and distant. “About Peter.”

The change in Edwin was immediate. His eyes snapped open and he sat up, his posture alert, concern etching deep lines across his brow. “What kind of nightmare?”

It felt real, like I was there… Like it was happening to me.”

I could see the doubt flash across Edwin’s face, but he didn’t dismiss it. He knew better than to brush aside especially when they came with this much clarity.

“Tell me everything,” he urged quietly.

“I think it’s better if I show you.”

Edwin nodded, allowing me into his mind without hesitation.
