    My family hovered over me since I got back to the pack, worried sick about my health.


    My twins freaked out when they saw my bandages - they''d never seen their mom hurting this bad before. Just like Nathan said, it took a full week to heal up. Getting through that week was rough, but my family helped me pull through.


    "I can''t figure out why your scars suddenly showed up. Looks like your wolf stopped hiding them," our pack''s old doctor said.


    I went to see him after I recovered. My parents sent me, saying he was an old family friend.


    He wasn''t just any wolf - he was part wizard. The guy had an answer for everything.


    "So you''re saying if her wolf wants to, she could show every scar she''s been hiding all these years?" my brother Magnus asked.


    We were both sitting on this ck mat, with the old man facing us.


    "Not exactly. I think the ident caught her off guard. The fear of death probably shocked her so much she lost her strength," the old man exined.


    "Really? How''d she get it back?" Magnus pressed.


    "Being close to her mate. That can chase away any fear."


    That hit home. I remembered how my wolf felt seeing Kane - so relieved her mate hade to save her.


    Talk about being trapped by fate - like a mouse going after cheese. The second I stepped into Kane''s pack, boom - there''s my mate. Why? Why did it have to be him?


    "She doesn''t have a mate," Magnus cut in. "So that''s pointless. Give her another way to stay strong. She''s a powerful woman. I don''t want her going through anything like that again."


    The old man shook his head. "She has something special that nobody else does. She can hide her past while hunting for her future. Magnus, you used to protect her when she was little - just like you''ve always protected her since childhood. That''s the bond between you siblings."


    I turned to look at Magnus, who kept his face calm. The old man''s words took me back to the day Magnus found me in the forest.


    I grabbed Magnus''s hand. He nced down and patted it with his other hand, letting me know he''d do something about the scar on my right hand.


    "Fix the scar on her hand," Magnus told the old man.


    The old man studied my scar carefully before shaking his head, which caught me off guard.


    "I''m no fortune teller - can''t tell your past or future. But with what ability I do have, I can tell you this much:


    This scar is meant to remind you of your past, over and over. It''s been invisible all these years, but you could always feel it. It holds memories of what you did back then."


    Magnus frowned. "Are you saying she did something wrong and has to carry this scar forever as

    The old man chuckled. "I can see the Alpha''s family is super protective of their lost princess. But fate has its own ns. Sometimes the past isn''t as simple as we think."


    "Stop talking in riddles, Raven ckwood," Magnus warned, clearly annoyed at not understanding the message.


    "Alpha, your sister understands what I mean. She can exin it to you," the old man said with a polite smile.


    I told Magnus we should leave - something about the house''s energy felt off to me, making me ufortable.


    Back in his car, Magnus helped me in before getting behind the wheel.


    "What was he talking about?" he asked.


    I was just as confused. How could I answer him? Why did the old man say I understood?


    Was he hinting that even though I wanted to get rid of Kane, the mate bond was my destiny?


    Nobody knew about the mate bond between Kane and me. I had my reasons for keeping it quiet. If my parents found out, they''d try to push me into marrying him.


    I wasn''t ready for marriage. Actually, after falling in love once and getting burned, the thought of any ot her man scared me.


    I stayed quiet, and Magnus didn''t push it.


    When we got back to the pack house, Magnus filled our parents in on everything Raven ckwood had said.


    Axel shot me a look, trying to figure out what was going on. I just shook my head, not offering any exnation.


    "Selene," my dad said.


    "Yes, Dad?"


    He paused for a moment, then said, "I think it''s time for the world to know who you really are."
