“It’s okay, Tanner,” Cassia urged. “Pain held at bay only gets worse. Go to him. There may still be time to say goodbye.”
It was the only thing I needed to hear as I scurried across the ground to my little brother’s side. Pulling him across my lap, I brushed the dirt from his face. We should have been allowed the chance to grow up together, to bond in the way that only brothers could. But our father took that from us. He had tried to make us enemies, to set us against one another. But we were stronger than him.
As my tears fell and landed on his cheek, my fingers slipped to his pulse. I begged, I prayed, I bargained with everything I had, that fate wouldn’t take him from me now. Not now we finally had a chance. A chance to be a family. A chance to finally be happy. A chance to live.

Authors Note
Ooooh Shit! I’m fully expecting hate mail and death threats to come my way with that ending! Tensions are definitely climbing for the pack, and there is still so much more to figure out. Book 3, Blood Feud, will be coming out later this year, and you’re going to see a lot of your questions answered in that book when the witches come back on the scene, but maybe not in the way that you’re thinking.

Thank you so much for reading the latest instalment in the Stoneridge Pack books, even if you do hate me a little bit right now.

So many thank yous are needed for this book.

Kris and Em, my constant support system and fantastic alpha readers, you know I love you. I couldn’t do this without you. Please don’t ever leave me, stalking is really not a good look, but I’m willing to go to extreme measures if I need to.

Lin, Izzy, Sandy, Jillian and Shawna (aka the best beta team around), thank you so much for helping through the doubts, the missing hyphens and putting up with my general nervous craziness that always comes out when I’m getting a book ready to launch.

And finally, thank you, the person who not only took the time to read this book but also my rambling note at the end. I couldn’t do this without you. You’re helping me to achieve a dream I never thought would be possible for me. The fact anyone wants to read the crazy stuff that comes out of my brain still amazes me at times.
