Chapter 119-2
Jerking her head up, she smiled. “I don’t regret you killing him either. I hope you know that. This doesn’t change what he became. All the pain and damage that he inflicted.”

“My Andrea is exactly who she is meant to be!” Ragor continued. “I won’t let you take that from her.
We can protect her, Katherine. My wolf and your magic. Together, nothing will get to her. You just have to trust me. Trust us.”
He jerks his head up suddenly and sniffs. “Come on. We need to keep moving and find some
shelter soon so I can hunt. I know you’re tired of being out here, but we don’t have a choice.”
As he walked off, the dark fog started to leach out from the trees. Kiana sighed. “I guess I’m not in
control of this one. Well, we know that he lost that argument. Katherine still binds my magic and…
Ragor kills the Mother witch. So the Maiden from my memories becomes the Mother, and auditions open up for the Maiden. Do you think this is when Lunessa becomes the Maiden?”
I shook my head. “No. She said she’d only joined the coven a short while before you escaped to
them. So either someone else became the Maiden and left or died, or they stayed two witches for a few years. That probably makes more sense given the secret they’d just discovered.”
“Me,” Kiana said flatly. “They’ve had years to plan what to do about me. We have to assume that
they have a plan for if I retrieve my memories. Your whole pack is going to be in danger from the
most powerful witches on the mountain.”
“If they endanger the pack, they’ll be breaking an alliance that would have wolves hunting them for the rest of their lives,” I growled. “And my pack will stand for you. Fuck, I wish we were home so
you could see how everything has changed. I want you home where you’re safe and protected.
And back in my fucking bed again.”
She smiled a little at the last statement and leaned up. I kissed her gently, not because I thought
she was fragile and breakable, but because I suspected she needed gentleness in such a harsh
world. Her own mind was breaking her apart. I was here to make sure she held it together.
The fog began to circle us. “No wolf. No magic. I guess it’s on to the next memory.”
“I’m going to be right there by your side.” I held her against me as the fog swirled around us like a funnel. It didn’t hurt or sting, and when it cleared, it was still night, but we were no longer in the
forest.
At least, I didn’t think we were. It was pitch black. Somewhere around us, someone was softly crying, and I could hear breathing. Movement. Footsteps.
A match struck and flared to life. It danced in the air, and the light grew when it lit up a lantern. The

glass swung haphazardly from the person holding it and practically fell onto the table as the man growled with rage.
“Shit,” Kiana whispered. “How can we already be here?”
I glanced around the room. It didn’t look all that familiar to me, but something tugged at my memories. It was still so damn dark. “Where are we?”
“How could you do this?!” a voice growled in the dark. Ragor. “How could you fucking do this to
me? To her? To us!”
Kiana jerked against me in fear, and the whole room lit up. Not from the sun or from the light, but I
suspected, from her. We were in a small cabin of some sort. It was sparse. There was a mattress
on the ground and a table by the door.
And Katherine, tied up in the corner, where Ragor stared down at her. This was one memory that
apparently Katherine decided to be here for because Kiana and I could both see her.
My hold on Kiana tightened. “Is this…”
“Where I grew up,” she said bitterly. “Home, sweet, home.”
