My eyes snapped open and | sat bolt upright with a gasp, clutching at my chest.
My... bare chest.
| frowned, blinking. As my surroundings cback into focus, | realized with a start that | was no longer laying in
the guest bed in Sophia's home, but rather on the ground in a forest. My clothes had been completely stripped,
leavingnude and vulnerable in the middle of nowhere.
Sophia had double-crossed me. What a fool | was, thinking that she had had a change of heart! If | hadn't been
so consumed by labor, then | would have known-
Wait. Labor.
My son. | needed to know where he was, if he was safe-and Lilith, too. | had to find them.
Surprisingly, my body felt nimble and free of pain as | leapt to my feet and looked around, trying to collect my
bearings. Only my wolf felt a little groggy when | reached deep down within myself in search of her presence.
“I'm here,” she croaked, sounding as if she'd just woken from another dormant state. “I just feel... funny...”
| bit back a curse as | turned this way and that in search of a familiar tree or landmark. Unfortunately, all that
stretched aroundwas untrodden forest.
“She must have drugged me,” | said, finding north based on the sun's position and heading in that direction.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAshclaw, where my son likely was, was that way.
“Hmm... Maybe.” My wolf yawned and stretched. “I'll just need stbefore | can lend you my
strength.”
“Take all the tyou need. | feel plenty strong now, surprisingly.” | looked down at my hands as | walked,
finding myself clean and free of blood or dirt. Strange, because the last thing | remembered was blood gushing
out from between my legs.
My belly was flat, too, which was also odd. A pregnant belly rarely went down this quickly, not to mention the
fact that | was free of the stretch marks I'd grown throughout the pregnancy. Perhaps whatever drug Sophia had
givenhad putinto a sort of stasis where my wolf's healing abilities were inadvertently enhanced.
But there was no tfor speculating on my condition. My son could be in danger, and | had to get to him before
it was too late.
| picked up my pace after that until | was all-out running through the forest, trees and boulders rushing

byon either side. Soon, | arrived at the edge of the treeline, where a large farmer's cornfield lay beyond. |
saw a house sitting off in the distance and set my sights on it.
| began carefully working my way through the rows of corn. Surely someone would help me, givea ride back
to Ashclaw. For all I knew, | was already marked as missing by now. Maybe Alexander was
looking for me.
Alexander.
His nfilledwith a strange mixture of hope and dread. | was almost certain now that Sophia had been
lying when she toldabout Alexander's intentions, but | couldn't be entirely sure. And then, of course, there
was the matter of him lockingup in that house.
What if he still thought | was a spy? What if he wouldn't letsee my son when | returned and just locked me
up again?
The very thought made my fists clench with rage.
“Hey! You there! Show yourself!”
| looked up to see an old man in overalls stepping out onto the front porch of the house and raising the barrel of
a shotgun. Cursing under my breath, | held my hands up and walked out of the cornfield.
“I mean no harm,” | called out. “I was kidnapped and abandoned in the woods. | need help.
The man stared atfor a long moment as if in disbelief. Shrewd eyes scanned the field behindfor potential
accomplices like | might try to rob him, but when he found none, he sighed and held out his jacket.
“Put this on, young lady. You'll catch a cold runnin‘ around like that.”
“Thank you.” | hurriedly took the coat and shrugged it on. It was just long enough to cover all of the important
bits. “I don’t suppose you could givea ride back to Ashclaw?”
“Ashclaw pack?” The man furrowed his brow. “That's a hundred miles from here.”
A hundred miles? What the fuck? How did Sophia getall this way before | woke up? Whatever she gave me
must have been strong.
“Well, | have to get there,” | said firmly, lifting my chin. “I'm the Luna of Ashclaw, and there's probably a search
party out already. | can pay you if you takehome.”
The old man’s bushy eyebrows lowered. “Luna of Ashclaw, eh? Alpha King Alexander's wife?”
