The world deep inside of the woods was like nothing I’d ever experienced before. It was dark and strangely calming—even though I knew what was lurking in the shadows.

I could see why Liam liked it so much in here. Why he always managed to be in the woods when I was. It was peaceful when you forgot about the oversized wolves that roamed these woods.

I glanced over at Rose to see her staring off through the trees. She seemed agitated, and I didn’t blame her. It felt as if we’d been walking in these woods for hours, and there hadn’t been even an inkling of Grayson or the wolves.

The moon shone above us, and when the tree branches shifted in the wind, we could catch glimpses of it. I tipped my face upward, marveling in its beauty.

Rose sighed as she sat down on a broken tree stump. She leaned her elbows on her knees and took in a few deep breaths. I wanted to comfort my friend, but I didn’t know what to tell her. She was hurting, and there wasn’t anything I could do to stop it.

“No you wouldn’t,” a deep and very familiar voice said from behind me.

A shiver ran up my spine as I paused, closing my eyes. I don’t know if I was wishing that Liam wasn’t standing here, or if I was trying to control my emotions before I saw him. Whatever it was, I almost needed a countdown before I turned around.

“What are you two doing out here?” Liam asked. His voice was changing direction as he walked around until he was facing us. I hated that I knew where he was before I saw him. That we were so connected that I couldn’t break myself away from him even if I tried.

I felt Rose shift next to me. She was agitated with Liam, and I didn’t blame her. During one of her rants about Grayson’s disappearance, she may have mentioned her anger at both guys. The fact that
