Alice turned off the video and pushed away from the computer. “Alice?” Peter asked as she got up from the chair and stepped away. “I just need a minute,” she said, walking toward the door. Peter sat down at the computer as the door closed behind her. He minimized the video, looking through the documents and folders that were opened on the screen. He found notes similar to the ones he had already read about the temporary fae cells that Spring had been trying to make, though these were far more…

The room was dark. A soft blue glow from the window was the only light source. Lian stepped into the room. She approached the bed cautiously. “Talis,” she called out. There was movement. “I am here,” Talis replied, slowly sitting up. Lian saw her and let out a deep sigh. She closed her eyes, gathering her thoughts as she moved to sit beside her old friend. “What have you done, my friend?” Lian asked softly as she looked over at the woman beside her. Talis once the picture of a young…

Myka woke only for a few minutes, but it was enough to renew the hope and determination of those waiting for him to recover. Peter had rushed to his side, smiling and laughing with him for every second he could. But every other moment was spent in the lab. Analyzing and experimenting. He was consulting with doctors and scientists in Summer. They tackled the infection in different ways, trying to find a cure. But they were having little luck. After three days, Axel was receiving messages from Galen and…

Axel sat quietly in the chair as Bell drew his blood. They had spoken very little since she came to find him after discovering his DNA in the creature. Bell watched him carefully. He had barely reacted to the news, only letting out a tired sigh and then agreeing to have a battery of tests run on him. “I’m sorry,” Bell whispered as she pulled the needle from his arm and placed a small bandage. “Barely felt it,” Axel replied quietly as he rubbed his arm. Bell smiled. “I didn’t mean the…

In the three days since Myka had been attacked, Axel had spent most of his time along the border hunting. He and several of his cold warriors searched high for any more of the creatures. But they did not find any. The rest of the nomads had been notified and checked. There were no other reports of attacks and no other injuries. The encampments that had been made ten miles south of Winter were moved even further away. However, some of the individual wolves did choose to accept Axel’s offer to move within…

“I know there are consequences to using your abilities in this world, but you are the one that said I needed him,” Ashleigh stated, crossing her arms over her chest. She was back in the blue void, staring down an ancient and powerful being. “There has to be something you can do,” she continued. “You know this is because of Irina. Whether she made that monster or she controlled it, she did this to him.” After Alice had dropped the phone, Ashleigh called everyone she could in Winter to get…

“What are you talking about?!” Peter demanded as he halted the transfusion. Alice took a deep breath. “I knew something about the infection looked familiar, but I couldn’t figure it out until Ashleigh said that Myka and Bell are the same, that their blood shares unique markers. The ones that identify them as fae descendants.” “Wait… what?!” Peter said, shocked by her words. “I can explain that,” Bell quickly said, looking at Peter, then turned back to Alice, “but first, let Alice…

Alice hardly paid attention as Peter and Bell discussed what would happen next. She wanted it to work. Of course, she wanted it to work. But there was something bothering her. Something she couldn’t identify was scratching at the back of her mind. She almost jumped from the vibration of the phone in her pocket. Alice pulled it out to see who was calling, it was Ashleigh. “Hello, Ashleigh,” she said with a smile in her voice. “I’m guessing you are calling me because you can’t get ahold of…

It was the middle of the day when she arrived. While she had been on a call with Ashleigh, Bell had received the news about Myka. As soon as she could get Ren set up with Corrine, she hurried down to the hospital in southern Winter. Opening the door to the lab, she caught the end of an ongoing conversation. “I just don’t understand,” Peter sighed, rubbing his temples. “Every sample I take, they’re just sitting there. They aren’t attacking or growing, just sitting. But his body is getting…

Peter had sat by Myka’s side for three hours without any change. He wasn’t getting worse, but he wasn’t getting better either. But as he stared at Myka, he thought of their conversation inside the tent and their passion throughout the rest of the night. Peter could not just sit around and wait, hoping someone would find an answer. He went to the supply closet and grabbed what he needed. Then, he hurried back and collected the samples from Myka. Peter gently touched Myka’s hair, moving the blue…
