"What just happened?" Declan asked, staring at the doorway where Kira's Lycan had vanished.
"She... she's a white Lycan?" Crane breathed, his face drained of all colour, his voice barely above a whisper. "That's not possible. A white Lycan."
Meanwhile, an immeasurable pain lanced through Derek's chest.
It hit him without warning, a deep, tearing burn that doubled him forward, and his hand flew up to clutch at his chest as though he could hold the thing together by force.
Inside him, Leo threw back his head and let out a high, agonised howl, a sound of pure anguish that shook through Derek's entire body and rattled his teeth.
Kai turned on him, his face dark with fury.
"I hope you're happy now," he bit out. "I hope this is everything you wanted."
Derek didn't respond, he was too shocked and in pain to understand what Kai was saying to him at the moment.
