Kael is dead?
How?
It was hard to believe it. And even harder to think that neither Dylan nor Declan had anything to do with his death.

Kael is dead?
How?
The question echoed in my head, hollow and unreal, like something spoken underwater. I stared at Cedric, waiting for him to take it back, to say he'd made a mistake, that the man outside the doors was only injured, unconscious, anything but dead.
But Cedric didn't look away.
And the warriors behind him wore the same grim expression.
Dead, just like that.
My knees weakened, and if not for the pillar beside me, I might have collapsed again. My fingers curled into the cold stone as I struggled to breathe past the sudden weight crushing my chest.
How did Kael end up dead? And why?
Kael had been in perfect health only minutes ago, just before Declan had insisted that he went outside with the other pack members.
A quiet force that made me feel anything but alone.
