Chapter 50 The Second Strike

• Brianna's POV
• It was late at night. The moon was high in the sky, bright and full. But even with all that light outside, I could not sleep. The room felt warm, too warm, even though the windows were open. The wind was blowing gently, but my skin still felt hot. I turned on my side and looked at the empty space beside me. None of the triplets were there.
• Rowan, Reid, and Ryker had gone to a meeting with the warriors. They said something about new reports and strange patrol gaps. Reid had kissed my forehead before leaving. He told me he would come back soon and that I should rest. But the bed felt cold and too big without them.
