What happened???

[ After several hours - At the Bloodfang pack]

Velor literally stumbled out of the car as he sprinted through the gates, his boots kicking up gravel in his wake… he ran regardless. He hadn't even parked his car properly… tossed the keys at one of his guards 

His chest heaved, he looked a little exhausted…his muscles burned, but he didn't slow down…like every second counted. 

Clutched in his hand was a small glass vial, its contents clear as crystal but shimmering with faint, swirling sparks…like captured starlight. The liquid sloshed dangerously as he ran, but his grip was iron. He held it against his chest. He hadn't risked everything just to spill it now. 

He took the stairs three at a time,but his mind was already racing ahead to Autumn's room. He had to break the curse… he had to… it was now a war against his own ego. 

But when he burst through the door… 

The room was empty. 

No Autumn. No healers. No wives. No nothing…
