DEXAs soon as I walk away, the link between Lydia and me tightens sharply. Her pain becomes mine, echoing inside me until I can hardly tell which feelings are hers and which are my own. I sense her anxiety, her longing, her fear, and I swear to myself this won't last much longer. Once Baron is gone, the bond that keeps her chained to him will break. It has to.When Desmond and I reach the surface, the chill of the night wraps around us like a warning. The streets of New York glimmer faintly under the flicker of streetlights. The air smells faintly of rain and smoke. We walk toward the lot where our cars and motorcycles are parked, the ones we use when we need to move unnoticed through the city. Running in our wolf forms would be faster, but a group of wolves the size of horses charging through Manhattan would get a little too much attention."We have to move fast," Desmond says beside me, his eyes scanning the empty streets. "They aren't far from here."I nod and climb into the black

DEX The worst part is knowing it will grow back. But that won’t happen if I don’t let him live.Soon, Baron and I are locked in a brutal fight. He comes at me with all his strength, but I refuse to give him a chance to breathe. This time, I’m not fighting to win, I’m fighting to end him. I’ve battled him before, but something feels different tonight. The fury running through my veins is colder, sharper, and deadlier.The Silver Crescent Pack senses my intent. My wolves charge at the vampires with fierce growls. For a moment, it seems like the bloodsuckers have the upper hand. But without their leader to guide them, they begin to fall one by one. The survivors scatter, but my wolves chase them into the shadows, their snarls echoing through the dark.I focus on Baron again. His body keeps trying to heal, but I can see the strain setting in. The energy he burns to regenerate is too much for even him to handle. He may have Lydia’s powers now, but he doesn’t understand how to use them. No

LYDIA Linda pushes Calma by the shoulders, and Calma immediately lunges forward, ready to strike. The two glare at each other like they’re enemies, neither willing to back down or be the one left standing.“Stop it!” I shout, my voice breaking through the tension.Something strange stirs inside me — something I’ve never felt before. It’s not fear or anger, but a force that seems to rise from the very core of my being. It answers my call as if it had been waiting for me all along.It spreads outward, strong and wild, and I feel it coursing through my hands. My fingers tingle as if the air itself is alive. When I move my hands, that energy moves with me, an invisible extension of myself.Without even touching them, that unknown force surges from me and crashes into Linda and Calma. Both of them are thrown back hard, tumbling several meters apart before they hit the ground.For a moment, silence fills the room. Everyone just stares at me. Clara’s mouth hangs open. Linda and Calma look j

LYDIAThree long days pass before I finally feel completely fed up with everything. During all that time, Dex hasn’t come to see me even once. I can feel him faintly through the bond we share, but his presence feels distant, almost like he’s deliberately keeping himself hidden from me. It’s as if he’s doing everything he can to avoid me. The more I sense it, the heavier the ache grows inside my chest. It’s strange how something that once felt so powerful can crumble so fast.Tired of waiting and feeling useless, I sit up and pull the IV lines out of my arms. Brad has been keeping me under close observation, but by now, I feel fine—or at least as fine as I can be under the circumstances.“What are you doing?” Brad asks, raising an eyebrow as he sees me gathering my clothes.“I’m leaving,” I say, pulling on my shirt. “I’m going back to my room.”He lets out a deep sigh, clearly not thrilled with my decision. I give him a pleading look, hoping he’ll understand.“Come on, Brad,” I say sof

LYDIA“Dex,” I say his name like it’s a command, like I need him to really hear me. “I had the same dream back at the infirmary, right after Baron attacked me.”His lips tighten into a grimace. Even though he tries to act calm, I can feel that memory haunting him through the bond we share.“Maybe it means that part of the old you is coming back,” he says, but his voice holds no hope, just quiet fear.“Or maybe it means something bad is coming. Something serious.”He hesitates, his eyes clouded for a moment, then slowly shakes his head. “I don’t think so. And even if it does, I’ll handle it.”The confidence in his voice makes me let out a short laugh, but it’s not because I find him funny. It’s because of how helpless I feel.“Why are you so damn stubborn about everything?” I burst out.Dex clicks his tongue and drops into the chair behind his desk. He points at me with a faint smirk. “There. That’s the old Lydia right there. Maybe all I need to do to bring your memories back is make y
