The Room

It had been a long night. I didn’t want anything else but to shower and crawl into my bed once the party was over. I helped Ayla move her things to the Gamma’s quarters so that she could stay with Liam easily and called my father afterwards to check how their pack run went. I was happy to hear that it went well.

I was startled awake at some point during the night. I don’t know if I heard something or if I was having a dream, but I woke up with Lasaya on alert. I crawled out of my bed. I knew that if there had been an attack, that the warriors on patrol would have alerted someone and, even though I didn’t have the ability to mind link, there would have been more noise in the house by now.

I moved to my door and opened it. When I looked down the hall, I noticed the door to the Luna’s chamber was slightly ajar. I quietly slipped out of my room and started making my way toward the opened door when Jackson emerged.

He looked at me with a shocked expression as he stood in the doorway.
