We covered them with blankets that the omegas brought to us. As people woke, they began looking for their loved ones. Many fell the severed bond when they woke.

While we couldn’t save everyone, Lily and I protecting Liam inadvertently helped to save many of the other pack members. If we hadn’t woken when we did, who knows how many pack members would have died.

The ranked members wake up first. Anders and Leander must have realized what happened when they

woke up in our bedroom, barricaded in. After checking their mates and baby Liam, they moved the

barricades and came rushing down the stairs.

Leander took charge of the situation, sending pack members as they woke to see the medical personnel. Lily reported what she had gathered about the dead and those impacted by the wolfsbane. When Alpha Christopher woke, his concern for his human mate and her fetus had him heading home to be treated by

his medical team.

I love that after you’ve made me forget my name, we can lounge in bed, while you learn a new song on your guitar to sing to me.
