Aurora's heart pounded as she gripped Elias's arm. Her eyes were wide with fear, the nightmare still fresh in her mind.
"What is it?" Elias asked, instantly alert. He sat up beside her, his bare chest gleaming in the moonlight.
"The Fang," Aurora whispered. "I know what it was trying to tell me. Tina isn't who she claims to be." She swung her legs over the side of their bed. "We need to find Markus right now."
"Wait." Elias caught her wrist. "Something feels wrong." He closed his eyes, extending his senses as Alpha. The settlement's energy had shifted, like the air before a storm.
"Markus is gone," he said, eyes snapping open. "I can't feel his presence anywhere in the camp."
Aurora's blood turned cold. "And Rosie?"
Elias concentrated again, then shook his head. "Faint. Like she's unconscious or—"
"Don't say it." Aurora grabbed her clothes. "We need to move now."
