Chapter Fifty Four

CHAPTER FIFTY FOUR

“Lucas!”

My heart is ready to jump out of my chest.

“How-?”

The teenagers are still crying and Lucas murmurs, “Al- Call Ali-“

His eyes slip shut and Hank jumps into action, “We have to carry him back.”

Laura's body is cold and I know that she is no longer with us.

Whatever is wrong with the arrows is clearly affecting Lucas. However, it is probably the bond between us which is holing him tethered.

Lucas and I are true mates, a rare bond in the shifter world, which elevates our powers and abilities. It is something we have not told the pack, a secret we must conceal for our own safety. We are each other's greatest weakness. If one of us dies, the other descends into madness.

“Let’s go,” I try to steady my voice, before summoning my wolves.

A few of them who had been following us, trot over.

“Aliya,” I tell them. “Get her.”

Hopefully the witch will understand that she is needed and come to the den.

“How can Aliya help?” Timothy asks.
