But where the hell is he?
“Willow?” Diana calls my name from near the toilets, and I curse beneath my breath. I have to get back to her and we both have to return to the cabin before we arouse suspicion. But I also have to come back here and find the source of that smell.
Maxim is absolutely hurt and…maybe worse.
The thought of him dead or dying is so painful that for a second, I double over, clutching my stomach as agony courses through my core.
Losing Maxim would be like losing a part of myself, a part that torments and challenges me, but that also has the potential to make me stronger and more confident than I’ve ever been before. If Maxim and I can find a way to work together, to support and protect each other, there’s no doubt in my mind that there’s nothing we can’t do.
Including put a stop to Bane and his army without some mysterious full moon ritual I don’t know nearly enough about.
“I’ll be back, I promise,” I whisper, wincing as the cramp in my stomach slowly begins to fade. “As soon as I can.”
Scanning the forest floor, I quickly gather an armful of sticks and arrange them in a starburst pattern by the nearest tree.
With a last glance around, doing my best to memorize my location, I hurry back to Diana.
But as I jog through the woods, I would swear I can feel Maxim’s energy calling to mine, begging me not to go, and warning me to be careful.
