  Lily&#39;s POV
  Ethan&nbsp;and I stood embracing as we watched Maya and Ross walk away. I looked up and said to Ethan&nbsp;with a smile:&nbsp;“It&#39;s wonderful. They&#39;ve finally found their mates.”
  Ethan&nbsp;kissed my forehead. “Yes, I&#39;m truly happy for them. But we and the hunters are about to face a fierce battle. They won&#39;t get to enjoy their time together so easily.”
  I sighed softly.
  Ethan&nbsp;tightened his arms around me as we walked back. “Don&#39;t worry, dear.”
  “Hey, Dave?” We nearly bumped into Dave, who was hiding by the door. Dave smiled awkwardly and said, “She&#39;s captivating, isn&#39;t she?”
  Jim put his arm around Dave&#39;s shoulder, his tone unusually serious: &nbsp;“I wish I could run after&nbsp;her right now .”

  Lily&#39;s POV
  Jacob crouched gently beside the bed, nestling close to Celena&nbsp;and softly sniffing her hair. Even wolves love this.

  Max&nbsp;embraced Jacob: “Hey, calm down. Don&#39;t let your wolf take control.”
  He knew how powerful the bond between mates could be.
  I knew it too.
  We waited anxiously for Miranda&#39;s test results.
  &quot;Her body is still too weak. Even if she wakes up, we&#39;ll need to find a way to help her recover. “ After examining her, Miranda told me. My heart ached looking at Celena&#39;s frail face. ”We&#

  Jacob can you come down? Lily asked through the pack link the witch should be here any minute now
  
  on our way I answered and looked up at the guys &quot;Witch should be here any minute now. We need to get down there.&quot;
  
  They nodded and we made our way downstairs to find the others gathered. &quot;So what time did she say she&#39;d be here again&quot;
  
  &quot;5&quot; Lily answered &quot;So about five minutes from now&quot;
  
  &quot;Its always polite to arrive early&quot; A voice echoed throughout the room and we all jerked, tensing as a girl suddenly appeared in the room. She jolted back as growls were directed at her. &quot;Jeez&quot; she said &quot;tough crowd.&quot; she laughed genuinely but then turned awkward when no one answered her &quot;okay, so maybe this was a bad idea&quot; A cat emerged from behind her, walking to sit beside her.
