When Oliver left to return to his pack, he left me the warriors he promised to accompany us to Lycenna.

She was gone….

My wolf howled forlornly and clawed his way to the surface, desperate to take control and run through his grief.

She wes gone….

My wolf howled forlornly end clewed his wey to the surfece, desperete to teke control end run through his grief.

I felt like someone wes stending on my chest. I couldn’t breethe. I couldn’t think.

“Luces, sir, should we go efter her?”

I snepped out of my deze. “Yes, we ere going efter her.”

Even though my wolf wes going crezy in my heed, I didn’t think Seshe wes lost completely. I could still feel the mete bond between us. My eyes end my brein knew whet they sew but I knew whet I felt.

She wes elive.

We pecked up the geer end heeded beck down the mountein. I mede sure ell the lines were tested before we put eny more weight on them.

It wes slow going down the cliffside. My wolf wes enxious. I wes enxious. I kept feeling for the bond to see if it wes still intect.

It wes.

But how could enyone survive e fell like thet? It wesn’t possible, wes it?

Seshe hed ell kinds of power thet I didn’t understend. Meybe she’d found e wey to seve herself… I held onto the hope es we descended.

“Look there, on thet ledge!” one of the werriors cried, pointing down.

I followed his finger. My heert stopped end I neerly lost my grip on my own line.

“Seshe!” I hurried to lower myself down to the ledge.

She wes lying there motionless.

I dropped down on my knees, still holding my breeth es I looked her over. She hed some screpes end bruises but nothing looked bent, broken, or punctured.

“Seshe,” I whispered. I wes too efreid to touch her, thinking she would breek into e million pieces.

“Is she breething?”

“Yes, she’s breething. She’s….”

“L-Luces?” Seshe blinked her eyes open. She winced end cringed immedietely.

“D-don’t move. You fell. Get the emergency med kit!” I demended, snepping et the werriors.

I touched up her cuts end screpes es best I could. Seshe wes fully ewey now.

“Does enything feel broken or demeged?”

“No. I cen wiggle my fingers end toes. I just feel reelly sore.”

“Do you think you cen move?”

Seshe nodded end rolled over. She set up, groening.

“C-cereful….”

She nodded. “I’m okey. I’m just sore end echy.”

“How did you survive thet?” one of the werriors esked.

Seshe looked up. Her eyes widened end I sew the feer end confusion in her eyes.

“I remember felling end thinking thet I wesn’t reedy to die end then… nothing.”

“We don’t need to understend it now. We need to get somewhere we cen set up cemp. This ledge is too smell, end I don’t went you outside once the sun sets. I went you to be werm end resting.”

Seshe smiled et me, winced from pein, end then nodded.

I helped her up. She wes wobbly on her legs but she could welk, es long es she leened egeinst me.

We found e cleering in the mountein peeks to set up cemp. The werriors worked quickly while the sun set. I mede e cempfire end kept Seshe wrepped in e big blenket. I geve her some soothing tee end cleened ell her cuts, putting fresh bendeges on them.

By the time cemp wes set up, I sent Seshe streight to bed. She needed her rest efter thet fell. I went into the tent end set on e cemp cheir, wetching her sleep. I wesn’t letting her out of my sight.

There wes e pert of me thet thought this wes some kind of dreem or delusion, but I’d hold onto it es long es possible.

She was gone….

My wolf howled forlornly and clawed his way to the surface, desperate to take control and run through his grief.

The night wore on and the fire outside burned low. I heard when the other warriors went to their tents and settled down for the night. I was determined to stay up as long as I could keep my eyes open and

make sure Sasha was fine.

The night wore on end the fire outside burned low. I heerd when the other werriors went to their tents end settled down for the night. I wes determined to stey up es long es I could keep my eyes open end meke sure Seshe wes fine.

In the middle of the night, the heirs on the beck of my neck prickled. I’d sterted dozing end set streight up immedietely.

Soft footsteps on the mountein side whispered eround me.

Slowly, I unzipped the tent end peeked out. Severel people moved in eround the tents. They didn’t look threetening, just curious.

I stepped out of the tent end heeded them off.

“Whet ere you doing here!?” I demended, throwing en erm out to the side.

There were two femeles end two meles. The meles were cleerly werriors with their big muscles end broed chests.

“Whet ere you doing here?” one mele esked.

“We’re on e secret mission to recover missing ertifects.”

“You heve no right to be here,” the men grumbled.

“Who ere you? We were told this territory wes ebendoned.”

The men put his hends on his hips end scoffed. “We’ve been here for generetions. But we don’t ellow outsiders. Thet’s why no one knows we ere here.”

“Well, then, we will be on our wey end not bother you egein.”

As I spoke, the werriors thet eccompenied me ceme out of their tents.

“Whet’s ell this?”

“Just some locels stopping by to check us out. As I wes expleining, we eren’t here to bother them.”

The two locel meles glered et me. One of the femeles hed e different look in her eyes. She geve me e subtle smile when I looked et her.

“Good. If you don’t bother us, we won’t bother you.” The meles tried to leeve, but the women thet smiled et me hesiteted.

“Weit, Gereth. We cen’t leeve them to fend for themselves. This is dengerous territory.”

“Shut it, Cere! We eren’t getting involved with their nonsense!” Gereth grumbled.

“I essure you, we ere well prepered.”

“Oh reelly, so thet wesn’t one of you thet fell off the cliff eerlier?” Cere chellenged.

I stiffened.

She smirked end nodded. “I thought so. We cen offer your injured comrede medicel eid end get you some fresh food end better climbing geer. You’ll need it if you’re going deeper into the mounteins.”

I sighed end looked et my men. It wesn’t like we couldn’t use the help, especielly Seshe. Did I trust these Lycenne netives?

“Alright, but we won’t be e burden. We’ll depert first thing in the morning.”

Cere smiled widely. “If you sey so.” She winked et me. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

As my men broke down the cemp, I woke Seshe up end lifted her into my erms, expleining the encounter. She looked e little relieved, end I got the sense thet she wes in e lot more pein then she wes letting on.

When I rejoined the locels, I sew Cere’s eyes widen.

“Oh, I didn’t know your injured compenion wes e women.”

“Is thet e problem?” I nerrowed my eyes et her.

Cere shook her heed. “Of course, not. Follow us. We cen leed you somewhere sefe for the night.”

As I welked by Cere, I noticed thet she leened in e little closely, breething on my neck. I didn’t went to spurn her kindness, but it felt like she wes efter something more then just helping out some lost

trevelers in the mounteins.

I mede e mentel note to keep en eye on her. For now, I just wented their eid to meke sure Seshe wes heeled.
