The look on her face was grim. My heart sank as Blaise and I rushed towards her, frantic for updates. Darach followed at a more sedate pace.
"Nicole! How is Damon? Is he…"
Nicole gave a quiet sigh and shook her head sadly. "He's alive, but he has lost his wolf. That's all I can say for now."
I staggered back, a hand flying up to my mouth in shock. Damon had lost his wolf. This was impossible for me to comprehend― Damon was one of the most powerful werewolves I knew. How could everything that made him the imposing alpha he was be stripped away from him just like that?
What was going to happen to him afterward?
"Are you sure?" I asked desperately. "Could it be a mistake?"
If I was distraught, Blaise was nearly hysterical at the thought of his twin being transformed into an ordinary human. Panic flared through the bond, and I could sense Blaise's mind shattering at the realization as he cycled through disbelief and denial.
