Chapter 30.-1
Nyx
My wolf didn’t just give over control. She sank deep in me, almost as if she were retreating to lick her wounds. Rhyson’s look of disgust had broken us both, and when I emerged, I started to shift.
Nobody said a word as someone handed me some clothes.
“Is there any way to fix it?” I asked without looking up. “Can you use magic to repair my bonds?”
Janelle looked over at Irene and then back to me. “Honestly, I have no idea. There isn’t much information on wolf magic that’s available to witches. I’m not even certain how a witch would have gone about removing them to begin with. Your best course of action is to find the witch that
removed them and hope he knows how to fix it.”
That didn’t bode well.
Even if I could somehow get the information from my father, it wouldn’t do me any good. “Well, thank you. I did think I’d go my whole life never knowing what was wrong with my wolf. Turns out she’s perfect.” I forced a smile. “We were just fucked from the moment we were conceived.”
“Nyx, I know what it’s like to have a shit father,” Kiana said gently. “Mine killed his mate, went insane, and basically became a serial killer and forced me to kill.”
blinked at her, dumbfounded. “Wow. That’s shit.”
“It is indeed.”
“What ended up happening to him?”
She glanced out the door. “Troy killed him right before he realized that I was his mate.”
“Glad that worked out for you.” I knew that she was opening up and sharing so I could do the same,
but I didn’t even know what to say. “My baby…will it be the same?”
Janelle looked at me helplessly. “My gut instinct is to tell you that it was an amputation procedure. A spell to sever them, and then it’s over. However, it could be an active spell, something still inside of you. That might affect the baby. I really can’t even begin to figure out what’s going on.”
Kiana touched my shoulder. “We’ve figured out tough things. If you give us some time, we can figure this out as well.”
“Troy isn’t going to allow Rhyson in his territory much longer. We both know that.”
“I’ll talk to him.”

Chapter 30-1
“Rhyson isn’t going to want to stay here much longer. He’s here for information. Nothing else.”
Claim
Kiana wrinkled her forehead. “I feel like the threat of his baby not being able to form wolf bonds
would be important to him.”
Maybe, if Rhyson actually believed it was his baby. That was far too humiliating to admit right now. “I’m going to take a walk. Is there any place where I’m welcome or places I’m definitely not
welcome?”
Kiana grinned. “You think you can control that wolf of yours?”
“Why?”
“I could use a good run, and I’m thinking you can as well. Let’s shift and run together. Let your wolf out, as long as she’s not homicidal. Really blow off some steam. It’s good for the baby, too.”
Run my wolf when it wasn’t necessary? How amazing would that be? “She’s never really done that. She might go into hunt or protective mode,” I said regretfully. “I don’t know if it’s a good idea.”
“Nyx, my wolf is submissive. She can fight if she needs to, and hold her own, but most wolves don’t find her a threat. I imagine your wolf won’t either, especially since she knows I’m trying to help her. No one here is going to hurt you, and if we need to take her down, we can do it gently without hurting her too much. I think you need this. I sure as hell would. I went a long time without shifting or running. I know how you feel.”
After some reluctance, I nodded. “I’m going to look at a few books and see if I can get in touch with Lunessa about her recourses,” Irene said. “We won’t stop until we find answers, Nyx.”
