finally found the happiness that had so long eluded her.

Lost in thought, she was startled when Jaynee started to speak. It wasn’t until she heard the word
Banart
that a chill of premonition rippled down her back and she realized she needed to pay attention to exactly what her sister was saying.

“What did you say?”

“You will not just be calling your mates to you, Laynee, but you three shall be the next triad necessary to the coming war. Many of us are needed to defeat the

Unwilling for her sister and her mates to see her fear, she lowered her head to her chest and closed her eyes in thought. By the Goddess, the
