AARON POV I stood in the hallway, baffled, my mind still reeling from what Hunter had just told me. Our gamma had found his mate. Not at a pack gathering, not in some romantic, fated encounter, but in the dungeons of the Dark Coven. Almost drained to death. How the hell had we missed this? Worse, she had been rotting in that hell hole, nearly drained to death while we had been too wrapped up in our own damn problems to see it. The revelation left a sour taste in my mouth. Alan and I exchanged a knowing look, unspoken words passing between us. One of us needed to stay with Amber and Vic—after all, we weren’t about to leave our mate and her cousin unprotected. The other had to catch up with Killian, to get the full story and be there for him. Guess who was going to track down our gamma?
