23 Chapter Twenty-three

Caroline's POV

I cried as my mate held me in his arms. The cool metal of his body calming me down. I can't believe she's gone. I felt her tie in the pack separate like ripping off an arm. It fucking hurt. The ice refused to melt even after my fire burned hotter than a volcano. Why? Why her? She had been through so much. I heard a growl and looked up. It was a rogue. He was limping over to us.

I prepared to light his ass on fire but I stopped when waves of power and dominance rolled off Conner. This was more than I've ever felt before. It's like being in a room full of the strongest alphas. The power was overwhelming. When I looked up, I stared in fascination as Conner turned into a lycan. Standing up on two feet, he growled. Oh shit.
