My wolf hasn't spoken to me in three weeks. I tell myself it's stress. The pack finances, the upcoming diplomatic visit from the Lycan King, the endless demands from Justin's mother—the Queen Mother, as she insists on being called even though she hasn't held the Luna title in five years. But deep down, in the hollow space where my wolf's presence should hum like a second heartbeat, I know something is wrong. The hallway outside our bedroom is dark when I hear their voices. I freeze, one hand on the doorframe, my body swaying slightly. The dizziness has gotten worse lately. Another symptom I've been ignoring. "She's getting suspicious." The Queen Mother's voice cuts through the shadows like a blade. "This morning she asked why the vitamins make her tired." "Then we increase the dosage." Justin's response is immediate, clinical.
