Dad! Pup? What’s wrong? She won’t stop…I don’t know what to do. She who? Won’t stop what? Pup, I need more information to go on… His voice didn’t sound panicked, but I knew mind did.

I allowed Nix to come to the surface, and she saw our mother losing control. I could sense her opening to Loki, and then my mind was filled with his howl too. Loki? What happened to your mother, pup? My dad’s worried voice came through the howling. She knows. Knows what? Amy, you have to tell me what is going on or else I can’t help. His frustration was evident. She knows the truth. About our second chances, our power, the fact you lied. Everything. M
