Chapter 28: Letting Go

Nyssa's Pov

Day 12, afternoon. Only fifteen days to go.

I woke up that morning feeling... off. Not sick or anything, just this weird surge inside me, like I'd suddenly gotten a whole lot stronger overnight.

The silver marks had spread again while I slept. They were creeping right up to my neck now, those thin, glowing lines that shimmered faintly. My arms were totally covered. It looked almost pretty, in a creepy sort of way, like someone had dripped molten silver over me and it just froze there.

But the marks weren't the strangest part. No, that was something else entirely.

All of a sudden, I could sense every wolf out there in the territory. Their heartbeats, the way they breathed. It was like thin threads linking me to each one. I swear, if I tugged even a little, they'd all come running.

Raiden was still out cold beside me, arm slung across my waist. He looked so peaceful, no tension in his face for once.

I eased out of bed, trying not to wake him, and padded over to the window.
