Ethan
The only sound I focused on was my mate's heartbeat. As long as it kept beating...she was alive.
I didn't want to leave, Ezra was begging me to return to her. But her words, as always, were right. We needed to end this and now. I looked to Hunter...the man I thought was my enemy, the man I thought wanted my mate...who had risked everything to help us. He looked like his father, but he was nothing like him; he was brave and decent, he had earnt my respect.
'Jude, Carrick, protect April! Hunter and I are going after Nicholas' I commanded, as I shifted to my wolf along with my new ally.
If I couldn't stay by to protect her, I knew those two would until I could get back to her...she just had to hang on. I could feel it in our bond...how bad her injury was, how much pain she was in...
