ROYCE.

“There. All better.” Kiara says, stroking Malevolent’s head before she leans down and kisses Skyla’s forehead.

“Thanks…” Skyla says quietly.

Kiara looks concerned, but she doesn’t say anything more to Skyla.

I’m sitting beside Skyla, and it’s the first time I’ve seen her so scared and upset.

Her heart was thumping hard for the entire drive here and there were times when she had been close to tears, which only made me feel useless – knowing she’s hurting and there was nothing I could do to help.

Even when she forced herself to eat in the car, for my sake, she didn’t have an appetite and she could only think of Malevolent. I had told her not to force herself. Malevolent means the world to her.

Only when her Mom had healed Malevolent did her troubled emotions calm, but for some reason there is guilt in her eyes.

I hope she isn’t blaming herself for the fact Malevolent somehow got injured.

We’re at the Night Walkers Pack now. We had arrived here as fast as possible, and Skyla had guided me straight to her family’s mansion.

Her younger sister is now sitting at the edge of the sofa, watching us quietly. She’s not said a word. Aside from when we entered, she’s been watching me intently, and she still is staring, her face emotionless, but her dark eyes are burning into me. She sure has an intense gaze.

The three sisters are the complete opposites of one another, but that’s siblings. No two are ever alike.

It makes me wonder about our own older sister… is she really out there?

There’s something that I want to ask Skyla but now isn’t the time.

I had seen the scorch mark on the ground outside the front door of the cottage, the clear outline of formal smart shoes in the scuff marks.
