It was an inferno in here. Musty. Humid.Wrong.

My wolf whimpered in my head. Then she growled as another shot of liquid fire ripped through my veins.

A cruel laugh followed.

Words, too. Something about it almost being time.

I writhed. Begged for relief. Moaned for comfort.

Kyra,a deep voice growled into my thoughts.Tell me where you are.

My wolf told me to reply, but my mind couldn’t fathom the words. Because I had no idea where I was. Somewhere balmy. An island, maybe. But not the right island. This wasn’t home. This was hell.

Fight, that masculine voice said.Fight his compulsion and talk to me.

My animal whimpered in reply. She longed to obey that command. But my vampire side was in charge right now.

I curled into a ball as flames engulfed my body.

Ineeded. What I needed, I couldn’t say. All I knew was that I felt empty. Alone. In pain.

But that voice continued to whisper through my thoughts.

I’m coming for you,he promised.Don’t stop fighting now.

I closed my eyes and pictured an Alpha with piercing black eyes. Square jaw. Thick, dark hair. A perpetually arched eyebrow. Concealed hunger in his gaze.

My thighs clenched.

If he were here, he would give me what I needed. What I desired. What Icraved.

But he wasn’t here.

Something cold touched my skin instead. Something unwelcome.

“I can feel him in your mind,” that unwelcome presence said against my ear. “Tell me who he is, and I’ll give you what you want.”

No,my wolf snarled, snapping me out of my delirious state for one horrifying moment.

A damp world of greenery and rocks formed around me, theroomI was in suddenly revealing itself.

I’m in a cave,I marveled.A forest-like one. Not my favorite one. No ice. Too hot. So humid.

Good, Kyra. What else can you tell me?that masculine voice asked.

“Who is he?” the other one demanded, his fangs sinking into my throat in the next breath. “Tell me who he is.”

My wolf snapped her jaws inside me, refusing to give him what he wanted.No,she seemed to repeat.Fuck. Off.

Kyra…

My animal quieted,thatvoice one she liked.Mate,she thought.Alpha.

Yes, he replied.I’m here, little killer. Help me find you.

I tried to latch onto that voice, to fight the other one near my ear. But another searing bite rendered me speechless.

Your mind is your own, that soothing tone said.Lean on your wolf. She’ll guide you.
