“Mew Mewwww.” She jumped in place before tilting her head to the side. She clearly was asking me what was taking me so long.
“Ya, I’m coming,” I replied to the impatient familiar, making my way to the doorway.
“Let’s go see our princess, shall we?”

I sat next to Mako’s bed — Marcus had left to go for a run.
He said he wanted me to have a bit of alone time before Kai forced us to leave.
I sometimes despised that phoenix shifter.
I don’t know where he got all his energy from. He was like Ryder, except he could literally function on two hours of sleep every day for an entire cycle and not lose his shit. He always had to make sure the group got enough rest.
I turned my attention to our sleeping beauty; my hand in hers. I stood up, leaning over to kiss her lips gently, before pressing my forehead against hers.
She became warmer each day; her breathing became stronger. I just wanted her to open her eyes, so I could get a glimpse of those turquoise irises that projected kindness and love.
“Mako babe, I beg you. Don’t let the darkness win. You’re strong, both you and Midnight can fight this. Come back to us, won’t you? I’ll make your favourite blueberry pancakes,” I whispered.
I could feel Eli brush against my mind; her sorrow made it even harder to stay composed. Nightmare raised her head; her small, furry body snuggled against Mako’s neck. She stared at me quietly. I smiled, petting her head gently before sitting back down.
I had to be strong for her. By the Starlight gods, she will make it...
CHAPTER4
Ryder
“Mako babe, I beg you. Don’t let the darkness win.
You’re strong, both you and Midnight can fight this.
Come back to us, won’t you?.
I’ll make your favourite blueberry pancakes.”
I wanted to scream, but I had no voice.
Why were these voices asking me to do something I wasn’t capable of?
The darkness was winning.
Winning what?
If this was a fight, I surely was losing.
I had no weapon to defend myself.
Where were my spirits?
I missed their voices.
I don’t want to fight this battle any longer.
I’m tired of being alone.
I’m scared I’ll never find my way back home.
