Amid the shuddering rumble of falling stones, Aubrey heard Alpha Henry’s voice.

She instinctively looked upward–only to see the huge stone platform beneath her had tilted forty–five degrees. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ
It was too late.
Even if Alpha Henry was directly above, from the moment he spoke to the moment he slid down, there wouldn’t be enough time.
Her body tipped, falling–when suddenly, from far above, she caught a glimmer of light drawing closer.
Impossible.
Possible.
Because Alpha Henry hadn’t slid down at all–he had jumped straight from the helicopter.
Sliding down would take too long. Jumping was just enough.
For one breathless moment, the howling wind seemed to freeze, the speed of her fall suspended. Aubrey’s eyes locked on the bright point rushing toward her.
And then, faintly, through the roar, she heard a shout-
“Aubrey! Jump!”
The instant the word fell, Aubrey leapt with everything she had. She couldn’t see anything but that one beam of white light, shining like a star in the blackness. She lunged toward it.
A massive slab of rock crashed downward. In the gasps of countless onlookers, Alpha Henry caught her hand.
“I’ve got you!”
Aubrey thought she must be dreaming. Even when her right hand was gripped tight, her mind couldn’t catch up.

Aubrey’s eyes widened. She had never imagined Mateo would risk himself to save her as well.
The next moment, the sudden weight of three bodies dragged the helicopter violently off balance, the tail swinging in a huge arc across the sky.
Even with the pilot fighting for control, any small sway of the aircraft now meant the three lives dangling below were on the edge of disaster. Several times, Aubrey felt herself slam into the cliff wall.
“Climb! Climb!” Barry shouted over the roar, while the pilot had no breath left to answer. He wanted to gain altitude, but the situation made it nearly impossible. The searchlight at the nose of the helicopter flickered wildly in the darkness, making every onlooker’s heart seize.
Inside the unending wind of Heaven’s Rift, Aubrey’s stomach churned as the air currents spun them again and again.
The chaotic gusts flung them toward the cliff. Each time, Henry and Mateo twisted their bodies, taking the impact themselves to shield her.
Strike after strike, their faces paled visibly.
Even Alpha werewolves, with their monstrous endurance, could not take such relentless blows without consequence. Within moments, blood streaked from the corners of their mouths, their healing no longer keeping pace with the damage. Still, neither released their grip. Both held Aubrey fast.
“Two brave knights…” Ella’s voice whispered in the depths of Aubrey’s mind.
Aubrey pressed her lips tight. A few seconds later, she lifted her eyes to Henry and Mateo.
“You could just let me go,” she said quietly. “Then the helicopter would balance.”
