The second pup vanished with it. The mist dissolved into nothing. Diana froze.
“No.”
She immediately looked at the healer.
“No, wait.”
The healer removed her hands from Diana’s stomach. Diana sat up slightly.
“I want to see them again.”
Talon immediately nodded.
“Yes.”
He looked toward the healer.
“Do it again.”
The healer smiled apologetically.
“I cannot, Alpha.”
Talon frowned.
“What do you mean, you cannot?”
“The ritual cannot be repeated twice in such a short period.”
“Why?”
“Because it requires energy.”
The healer gestured toward Diana.
“Not only from me.”
Diana’s expression became serious.
“From the pups?”
“Yes.”
The healer nodded.
“It places a small strain on unborn pups because I am temporarily drawing out part of their life energy so it can form an image.”
