Zion's heart was racing fast, so fast it feels as if it's about to burst out of his chest.
He loved Cara more than himself, he'd forgotten that, but this kiss, this confession of hers, it threw him back to the first time he saw her.
DECADES AGO…
Two wolf cubs skittle in the woods, their noses pressed on the ground, sniffling, following their father's scent.
The golden-brown bigger cub is John, while the cloud-white cub is Zion.
They'd train every day like this: following scents, learning how to hunt, how to catch their prey.
Growing up into the prosperous community of their mountain park, Zion and John felt blessed and were continuously engaged and amazed with their unique abilities and their loyalty.
Decades later, freedom day happened. The day the supernatural finally stepped out of the shadows and fought for their place in the world.
