Rhodes
When Scarlett placed her hand on the heart in the maze, something shifted. The silver magic in her blood broke the seal on my powers. Now, I’m stronger than I’ve ever been.
But that’s the problem.
She only lifted part of the curse. The rest of it still clings to me. The part that’s killing me softly is still there. My life is still slipping through my fingers, one slow heartbeat at a time. Whatever her mother did to me all those years ago is still embedded deep in my soul.
And only a silver wolf can remove it completely.
But I won’t tell Scarlett that.
Not now. Maybe not ever.
I’ve come to care for her more than I ever thought possible. And healing me... would cost Violet her life.
Scarlett doesn’t deserve that choice. So I’ll carry this burden alone.
“What happens now?”
I
