“Em? Hey, Em? Wake up.”

Emma startled awake, finding War bent over her with a concerned look on his face.

She sat up. “What’s wrong?”

“You were crying in your sleep, love. You were really deeply sleeping. I’ve been trying to wake you for a few minutes.” He sat on the bed and brushed tears from her cheeks. “What made you cry?”

“I was dreaming about the night of the curse. It felt so real, like I was right back there in our home, in the safe room with Luna and Marianne.”

She scrubbed the rest of the tears from her cheeks and sniffled.

“Why do you think you dreamed of that night?”

“Maybe being back with you brought all that up.”

He stared at her, a single candle illuminating his handsome face. Frowning, he asked, “Did something happen that I don’t know about? That night, did. . . did I attack you?” He looked stricken.

She’d never lied to War. While it was tempting to hedge the truth of that night, it was possible that eventually the truth would come out and her attempt to shield him would upset him. Inhaling deeply, she said, “What do you remember about that night? After you shifted.”

“Not much. Just being unable to stop myself from shifting. Then everything from there is kind of fuzzy. What should I remember, Em? What is it you aren’t telling me?”

She told him everything that happened after he shifted. Her panic watching him shift into his wolf by force. Him almost biting her hand off after he shifted and the attack by Snow and Ice.

He took her hand and linked their fingers, and the fear that had risen in her during the dream receded. “I’m so sorry I made you fear for your life.”

“I knew it wasn’t really you, that something terrible had happened to you. To all the wolves.” She leaned into him, and he pulled her close, tucking his head into her neck. She put her arms around him and sighed deeply, the last bit of fear from the dream easing away with his nearness. “I don’t think I ever stopped being afraid after that first night. I just wanted you back. I just wanted everything to be normal again.”

“We’re together now, love, and that’s what matters. We’ll break the curse, set the wolves free, and get our ‘normal’ back.”

“I want that more than anything.”

“Me too.” He kissed her throat and eased away. “We need to get ready.”

They got off the bed, and she changed into the clothes she’d worn in the woods the night before—black shoes, black pants, and a black shirt. Using a hair tie, she pulled her long hair back into a bun and tugged the blue stocking cap over it. War had found dark clothes in the house, even though they were on the tight side.

On the back porch, he spoke in his mind to the wolves, and then he told her the final plan.

“We’re going to use the tunnel to gather any supplies we can, as we discussed. Then
