Zayden slid into the back seat of the car with Athena in his arms. He could feel the heat from her fever radiating off of her. He wished he could wave a magic wand and heal her! He had so many questions that he wanted to ask her… not only about her and Cassie’s escape, but also… every little thing about her. Now that he knew the truth, he could understand why the Moon Goddess had made her just for him at this point in his life. Maya, Cassie’s mother, had been completely different from this little spitfire, but had been exactly what his young-self had needed, shy, unsure, needy... she had been so sweet and it had nearly killed him when she died. But he was a different wolf now than he had been then. He was ready for the challenge that this girl had for him in her eyes.
