The heat of his seed inside me was still fresh, but as the Wolf pulled me down against his chest, the adrenaline holding me together completely vanished. My skin felt like it was on fire, but my teeth started chattering violently. I tried to push off his chest to get off him, but my arms gave out immediately, my elbows slipping on his skin. "Raven?" The Wolf’s voice lost its smug edge, his hands catching my waist to keep me from sliding off the bed. My vision blurred, the dark corners of the room spinning together. Every breath took heavy effort, and my belly felt unnaturally tight, like the pregnancy was leeching whatever strength I had left straight out of my limbs. Sweat broke out across my forehead, icy cold against my flushed skin. "Get... off," I choked out, but the words barely made it past my lips. My chest hit his, my head dropping onto his shoulder because I literally couldn't hold my own neck up anymore. The Wolf sat up, shifting my weight into his arms. He bro

The Wolf didn't answer. He just stared down at my trembling hands clutching his chest, his eyes entirely flat.Then I remembered. The Wolf couldn't stand seeing me cry. It unsettled him.

The terror of carrying two babies, with one so weak it was fading."I need Eilis

I could hear his low, rumbling voice out in the corridor, barking orders to the guards posted at the door. He was never gone for more than a few minutes at a time, but those few minutes were the only space I had to breathe without his gaze pinned to me.My birthday was only a few days away now.And with it came the awakening.The thought weighed heavily on my chest every waking hour. The awakening was approaching fast, but I had no idea what it would actually feel like or how to handle it when it hit. More than anything, I needed to know how to use that magic to heal Eilis—to mend whatever magic my mother had used to split his mind in two and brought the Wolf out in the first place.When the door creaked open, it wasn't Eilis who stepped inside, but Calani.She carried a tray with a bowl of warm porridge and a cup of steep
