*Winter's POV

It has been almost a week since Juneau left and I am getting bored. Her friend was having trouble with a client over in Korea and she went to back him up, she should be back later today, she said she had something planned for me. I get lost in my thought that I didn't notice the front door open, "you know you should really lock your door if your alone," the voice says, and it makes me jump. I turn around and I see Anya standing there with a smile. I walk over to her and give her a hug, "hey, what are you doing here? I thought you would be in Alaska," I say, and she smiles. "No, I came to tell you that Juneau has to be away longer due to complications in Japan for another month due to her coach not being happy she missed so much practice," she says, and I sigh, "understandable. It will only be one month and then she will be back home, so I am not worried," I say, and Anya nods her head. "I am here if you need me," she says and I nod my head, "well I have to get back to Alaska, but I am only a link away," she says and walks out the door.

I sigh and look around the house bored. I walk to my room and lay on my bed; it still smells like Juneau. I close my eyes and try to fall asleep until I get a sharp pain in my head. I hold my head and try to link but it doesn't work, and I start to cry in pain. I get up from my bed and walk down the hall to get out of the house, until I pass out from the pain. Last thing I see is the door opening.

*Kalina's POV

I was walking home after my morning run and I open my door and I see my sister passed out on the floor. "Winter?! Oh my god, Winter, Winter wake up." I scream but she isn't moving. I check for a pulse, and she has one which makes me sigh in relief a little bit. I link Mal and have her meet me at Rain's cabin. "Mal, meet me at Rain's cabin something happened to Winter!" I say and she replies, "ok see you soon." I run to the cabin and Rain's mother opens the door, "oh my god what happened to her?" she asks, and I shrug, "I don't know I just went for a run and when I got back, she was on the floor," I say and start to hyperventilate. Rain's mother pulls me to her and hugs me, "sweetheart you need to calm down, you're having a panic attack. Mimic my breathing," she says, and I follow her breathing movements. By the time I calm down Mal walks through the door, "Kali what happened, what's wrong?" she asks, and Rain's mom answers her, "she found Winter on the floor passed out cold," she says and Mal nods her head.

"I will do a spell to check and see what is wrong," she says, and I nod my head. "I linked your friend Josh, he should be here with everyone soon," Rain's mom says, and I hug her and cry. I can't lose my sister; she is all I have left. I sit on the couch, and I hear people approach the door. I look and see Josh, Tempest, Rin, Sebastian, Megan, and my mate walk through the door. They walk over and sit with me. Willow looks at me, "what happened K? tell me what happened," I look at her and I tell her everything. Once everyone knows what is going on Mal comes back out, and I run to her. "Is my sister, ok? Is she alive?" I ask and Mal grabs me and hugs me. "She had a late allergic reaction to the spell Anya gave her," she says, and I shake my head, "please don't tell me she is dead," I say and start to cry.

Mal hugs me and shakes her head, "no she isn't dead...the spell, she is not under it anymore," Mal says and I look at her. "are you being for real? The spell is completely gone?" I ask and Mal nods her head, "yes, that's why she fainted. The spell that Anya used was a spell that needs to be given at least twice a month, and I guess Anya didn't know that and let's keep it that way." Mal says and I nod my head. I walk to the room, and I see her laying asleep and when I sit down, she opens her eyes, "Kali what happened? My head hurts so much," she asks, and I smile and kiss her forehead.

*Winter's POV

I look at my sister who looks like she had been crying, "Kali what happened?" I ask and she smiles and tells me everything and I look down. "I feel so bad, I was just venting to her and saying I liked her growing up and I wish she was mine when I turned 16 but she has a beautiful mate that makes her happy. I never wanted to take her from Rain," I say and start to cry, and everyone hears. They all come in and sit with me and Kali. "You didn't know Rain," Megan says, and I shake my head. "I did know what I was doing but I wanted a potion to give her to tell me the truth about everything... not make her be my mate," I say, and they look at me with sad eyes. "Anya took it the wrong way....... yes, I was jealous of Rain, but I was happy for them," I say, and Kali looks at me, "Winter, did Anya say why she would do this?" she asks, and I nod my head, "she doesn't think Rain is right for Juneau," I say, and Kali shakes her head.
