Chapter 8

Kaden had briefly mentioned there was a safe retreat for the pack a few weeks ago, but he had never elaborated on its size or what was available. Only that she should go west in an emergency and find the others.

No one said anything as Cyn and Kaden arrived at the rendezvous point. Cyn all but expected to see a bunch of wolves gathered around a fire in the snow, or maybe a gathering inside an emergency tent. What she didn’t expect was Kaden taking her to a cave. Beyond the camp, at least a mile to the west, hidden among a thick cluster of evergreens, there was an opening in the mountainside. The crack wasn’t visible from the sky and the curious would have to travel by foot to reach this point.

“What is this?” she asked him.

“This used to be my home,” he simply said.

“Before I discovered the camp,” Kaden added, “I found this cave first while I was out exploring. Actually, it was an accident.”

She glanced back the way they came. The snow added a bit of cover for their tracks, but not enough to keep this place from being found. The wolves would have to be vigilant for a while with a few guards. She followed him inside and walked past the two guards at the door.

Cyn looked around to see that the space appeared lived-in with places carved into the walls for lanterns. The whole space had to be around fifty feet from the entrance to the far side. A few parts of the ceiling were a bit low, but everyone from the camp was there.

Except one person in particular.

“Where’s Sinister?” she asked Kaden. Did her fellow hunter survive? When they’d entered, Naomi had glanced toward the entrance with expectation, but her face fell to see it was only them.

“I’ll need to find out,” Kaden replied.

They weaved around two groups sitting around propane heaters. Those who had escaped from the camp had made themselves comfortable with sleeping blankets. A few pack members were hurt.

Kaden immediately went to each member, checked their injuries, and healed them. He stumbled a bit each time he got up, but he wouldn’t let her stop him as he healed those who needed his care. He gave everything to his pack, even making sure everyone acknowledged her presence.

She’d never seen him with dark circles under his eyes, and yet they were there. He appeared…tired.

“Maybe you should rest,” she suggested.

“I’ll get sleep soon enough. We have to make sure our pack is well.”

Our pack. The words were so simple, but they held a deeper meaning. What had Kaden’s father said to Damien? She was tired, yet the words came quickly to mind: “There will always be a place for you, no matter who you are and what you’ve done in the past.”

Kaden moved to someone else, jolting her out of her moment of reverie. She quickly followed.

“How badly is your leg damaged?” he asked another pack member.

“It’s broken in a few places, but I’ll be fine.
