Troy “No!” My roar of agony thundered louder than the storm as I fell to my feet “Kiana!” “Bet you didn’t see this coming.” Whipping my head around, I watched as Ragor’s dead wolf shifted, and a man grinned at me. His wounds were still there, crusting over because the dead didn’t bleed. “You are not a part of this,” I snarled and turned back to Kiana. Everyone else had disappeared. “Oh, you and I are more alike than you think. I killed my mate to save my child. You killed your mate…” he looked down and frowned. “Why did you kill your mate? To save the mountain? To save yourself the heartache? To save her the heartache?” “This isn’t real. This isn’t how it happened. This crystal was supposed to allow me to speak to her!” Was it just some cruel trick? Was Lunessa trying to punish me?
