Excerpt from The Havenshire Resistance

Lauryn and Tessa must find the missing wolf:

Amber? Where are you? Tessa’s mind called out.

You must be near, Amber answered. Pain lanced through Amber’s body and Tessa doubled over as an echo of the pain shot through her own chest.

Lauryn steadied her sister as the icy wind penetrated their cloaks like paper.
The wolf’s mind felt weak, not a good sign! Remembering Amber’s intelligent eyes, her gliding gait, and her unfailing courage, Tessa’s ring glowed hot in her hand. Both girls “saw” Amber’s memory of the attack.

They inched their way along the snowy trail, their hands and feet numb. Lauryn forced blood to circulate through their cold limbs and prayed she could use the same energy to help Amber.

The trail widened. The bush where Amber hid was nearly buried under a snow drift but they dug through and crawled inside the hollow. As Tessa stroked the whimpering wolf Lauryn opened her locket and used her healing power to stop the bleeding.

Lauryn sighed. “She lost a lot of blood. I’m not sure she’ll make it.”

Tessa’s eyes filled with tears. “Help me keep her warm while we wait for the storm to stop. She doesn’t want to die alone.”

Tessa stroked Amber’s head as Lauryn spread their cloaks over their bodies. They huddled together and shared body heat as snow drifted against the bush. The heat from their breath formed a thin film of ice and trapped their warmth…When Lauryn opened her eyes, she found Tessa holding Amber’s cold body.

“What happened?” Lauryn asked. The wolf was dead but when Lauryn tried to touch Tessa’s mind she found it barricaded. “Don’t cut yourself off from me, Tessa. Amber knew you tried to help her, and I just want to help comfort you.”

Tessa nodded. “I know. She’s not in this body, so let’s get out of here.” She covered the stiff body with a blanket and sliced at the icy roof with her knife. When they climbed out of the snowdrift, snow collapsed through the opening.
