The sight of blood at the corner of Oran’s mouth combined with his eyes jolted me back to reality. What had I done? I shouldn’t have raised my fist again

“Willow…”

At the mention of Willow’s name, my attention sharpened, and Dex’s voice echoed in my mind, “What about Willow?”

Mia took a deep breath before responding, “I can’t find her anywhere in the pack!” she exclaimed.

“What the hell does that mean?” My eyes instantly darkened. “What about Wyatt and
