KARA I tried to speak, but it was no use. My muscles were all locked up, and the air had deserted my lungs. What the heck is wrong with me? Luckily, Reid broke the silence for all of us. “Wait, that’s Ronan Thornwood? The next Alpha of the Thornwood Clan?” It was clear, judging by the tone of his voice, that he was in just as much shock as I was. However, he didn’t seem to have experienced the same intense, dizzying bolt of electricity as me at the very sight of the auburn-haired shifter. On the contrary, Reid was frowning through the window at the figure making his way up the steps of the meeting house, and he looked confused rather than impressed. “Where the hell’s he been all this time?” Reid’s tone was laced with bewilderment. Kit shrugged, pure joy written across his features.
