The blast threw everyone into the air and off their feet. When | get my senses back, | realize two things. Angel is
unconscious on top of me, and | hear a keening sound in the distance that makes my heart hurt.
I sit up, holding Angel in my arms, looking around. There are fae warriors and werewolves around me, shaking
their heads trying to figure out what happened, just like | am. | follow the sound of the keening and realize it's
Cara. She's holding her father’s lifeless body in her arms, rocking him back and forth.
Oh no. Please tellClint isn’t dead. | see Rik, picking himself up off the ground, going to Cara. He pulls her into
his arms and begins rocking her, trying to comfort her. | know the sound a person makes when they lose
someone they love. That's the sound that Cara is making now. It’s the sound of your heart breaking into a million
pieces. | know that Clint is dead, and Cara's heart is broken. What | thought was a bomb going off must have
been a power surge from Cara, her emotions too strong to contain when she realized Clint was gone.
| look down at my sweet Angel. She must have felt it before anyone else and she jumped in front of me. She
protected me, even though | asked her not to. Her back is in shreds, but she’s alive and | know | need to get her

| look around. It feels like the entire canyon was on fire with all the ash in the air. Cara’s power wiped out the
remaining vampires. As | look around, many warriors on our side are getting up but on the other side, where
Angel wasn’t able to block Cara's aura, many wolves are unconscious. I'm hoping because they are part of
Cara's pack, that there is slevel of protection offered them.

members. | send a mind link that the battle is over and every able-bodied pack member is needed in the
hospital and on the battle field to help those that are injured.
I'm aware that not every person in the safe rooms will be ‘able bodied‘. Anyone who lost a mate will be
devastated, trying to hold on to life if there is something, or someone keeping them here, or praying to the Moon
Goddess for death to be with their mates. Werewolves, as a species, are not able to survive when we lose the
person that completes us. Someone like Clint only lasted this long because of Cara. My father was the same,

son.
