Trinity POVI dash through the bunker towards Bethany’s room, leaving Lance behind.Is she still awake? She needs to be getting better. She has to. My heart races as my feet pound against the cement floor. The only thing running through my head is whether Bethany is alright, everything else is forgotten. I rush through her door and slide to a stop at the end of her bed. My gaze snaps to her peaceful and sleeping face, while the sound of my heart echoes in my ears. Is she alright? Did she suffer a setback? Her mother’s soft voice pulls my attention to the side of the bed. “She is stable now. We still don’t know what happened or why she had a panic attack. That is what they are calling it.”A panic attack? From talking to me? Impossible.Ugh… Nothing makes any sense. I slowly shake my head. “But how? I thought she was getting better.”Her mother glances back at her daughter and gently pats her daughter’s arm. “We don’t know either. I’m hoping when she wakes up we wil

Edward POVThe reports keep pouring in through the pack link, and things are looking bad. Every fiber in my body wants me to rush out and help my son. He hasn’t been out of the hospital very long and now this. I almost lost him once, and I don’t want to lose him now.The elders and my mate won’t let me leave to help my son. My mate fears for my life, but as the alpha, this is one of responsibilities. If the pack is in trouble, I must protect them. I can’t stay hidden while others are hurt or killed. It isn’t right. The elders have reminded me of our policy about when we are in lockdown. Only one alpha or alpha heir leaves the bunker during the lockdown in order to ensure the pack has a leader. Many packs don’t have this rule and believe if the pack is locked in the bunkers, the alpha and the heirs should die trying to protect them. Those same packs have also seen the consequences of that decision and have, at some point in the pack’s history, lost the entire alpha family whi

Lance POV“Are you sure?”I glance across the desk at my father as he rests his elbows on his desk and drums his fingers together. The slight smirk and spark in his eyes dare me to answer incorrectly. Taking a deep breath, I reluctantly shake my head. “I don’t know. I’ve been coming home late and leaving early to avoid her as much as possible. She has said nothing.”He raises an eyebrow. “Has she even been awake to say anything?”I shift nervously in the chair as he stares at me. His gaze is like a spotlight I don’t want to be under. After a few seconds, I slowly shake my head. “I think she has been asleep.”He snorts and rests his arms on the desk. “I don’t think ‘think’ will work. If she is anything like your mother, she has been awake and waiting to see what you will do. She has probably called her parents and has gotten all the information she wants about the attack and her brother already. There is nothing to hide or sneak away from. If she was going to go to her fa

Trinity POVSeveral weeks have gone by without an incident. The information the King had gotten must be wrong, but I have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. This isn’t over yet.Everyone in the two packs was getting restless and wanted out of the bunkers, so my father and the King had no choice but to allow it. Neither of them wanted to agree. The two could have stood their ground, but they didn’t have a solid reason to deny the people’s demands. Plus, everyone was lashing out at each other. Being locked up for a few weeks, even though both bunkers are fairly large, was getting on everyone’s nerves. If they had to stay down there much longer, there would have been a fight within packs. Something tells me they will regret their requests. Lance tightens his arm around my bare back and pulls me closer to his broad chest. “Babe, what is wrong? Are you not feeling well? Is there something wrong with the baby?” The corner of my mouth curls downward as I shake my head and s

Trinity POVPeople. Everywhere. My feet slowly drag along the cement floor as I make my way through the bunker. Every spot has been converted into a hospital area. The medical staff have packed beds in any place where one will fit. Each patient has the same symptoms as the next. As soon as the white mist got near them, they collapsed.Luckily, all the medical staff had gotten to the bunker in time before any explosions happened or any chemicals were released into the air. I still have heard nothing from my father regarding his pack, but I’m going to assume the same thing has happened there. I silently pray to the moon goddess he got all the medical staff safely in the bunker before the chemical attack started. My stomach churns, and a sense of dread gnaws at me. If the goal was to break Alpha Derrick out of his cell, his brother has gone through all this and has come up short. The lycans had prepared for this and were waiting. Anyone stepping close to the dungeon or the al
