Chapter 45

• Amelia
• The small town I had fled to with Aiden lay ahead, its quiet streets and peaceful atmosphere a far cry from the chaos of our pack. The men Jace had instructed to protect me and my child were a constant presence, ensuring our safe journey. I watched my son, Aiden, nestled in his crib, his tiny fingers reaching out for the sky above.
• As we settled into the quiet town, I prayed every minute for Hunter’s return. Our pack was in grave danger. Lucia was gaining ground with a network of allies flocking to her side. Our fate now rested on Hunter, who had gone to seek an alliance with his cousin and hadn’t returned for more than a week.
