The moment Foster and I had turned away, Charlie no longer had to fight just Marcus. A group of lycans attacked from all sides, overwhelming him. But that’s not what seems to freeze time.

No. It’s the arm protruding from Charlie’s abdomen.

Marcus’ arm.

Foster hands me off to another lycan I haven’t met. “Stay here,” he says, then races back to Charlie and Alice.

But it’s too late.

Charlie is looking at Alice with love as his lips move, but I can’t hear what he’s saying from here. Alice shakes her head, tears streaming down her face.

Marcus removes his arm from Charlie’s middle.

Charlie falls onto his knees, holding his gaping stomach. Marcus’ eyes zero in on me. He strides toward me, blood cascading from his hand.

Foster blocks his path while Russell fights the other lycans that surround Charlie and Alice.

There’s a raging roar, and I realize it’s Ash. He’s charging his way to Marcus, tearing through lycans that dare to get in his way.

Marcus changes directions, no longer focusing on me, but on the trees that surround us.

And just like that, the tension snaps; fear, confusion, and sorrow spread through the fray as some lycans follow suit, racing after Marcus into the forest.

Zac remains standing not far away from it all, but he’s frozen in place. His face is stricken with grief.

“I...I concede,” he says quietly, but his words slice through the now-quiet field. With just those words and the heartache on his face, he shifts into his wolf form and limps away—in the opposite direction of the others.

My head snaps back at the sound of heart-wrenching sobs.

Alice.

I glance at the man next to me. He looks just as confused, but he’s also not paying attention to me anymore, so I dash to Alice.

“Hey,” the man yells behind me, but I don’t look back or stop. I don’t slow down until I’m a yard away from Alice.

Walking the remaining distance, my heart breaks as she weeps over her father, his head resting on her lap.

Kneeling down beside Alice, I place a hand on her back. I know what it feels like to lose a parent. I understand the kind of pain she’s feeling. The loss of my own parents flare up as I watch her anguish. I would never wish this kind of pain on anyone.

I brave a look at Charlie. His eyes are cloudy and glazed over. No life left in them. His chest doesn’t rise or fall. Yet when I reach out and touch him, his skin is warm.

Weren’t lycans supposed to be harder to kill? Shouldn’t he be able to heal from this? How is this fair?

I only met him once, but in that short time, I saw the love he had for Alice and the others. The guidance and love he offered. And I saw the others show him love and respect.

Fighting back tears, my vision blurs. I don’t feel worthy enough to cry, only having known him a short amount of time. Not when he has a daughter that needs him.
