Chapter 48
Perrin
Despite my quick pace, Lo matches me stride for stride. I have to admit that I’m impressed.
We set off towards the lodge, regardless of the orders I had given to Seth over the phone. A few minutes in silence pass between us as we find our cadence and settle into our breathing. She’s faster than I imagined. It will be nice to get a real cardio workout in despite no official training hours. She breaks the quiet.
“I’m sorry about my dad.”
“Don’t be. I get it.”
“You do?”
“If someone I cared about was out alone given everything going on--”
“Like Kira?”

Perrin“What do you mean, dangerous?”She decides to walk. I didn’t expect her to, but it’s clear the ease of our conversation has shifted.She’s avoiding my gaze and seemed preoccupied with her scrapes from the tumble. Half of them are healed already. I can tell that she’s stalling."Let's just get back to the packhouse, ok?"We turn and walk in silence for a few minutes."So, tell me what you and Ethan have been up to the last ten years.""That could take awhile.""We have a ways to walk."Jason

Perrin“Thanks for the company.”“No problem. I’m glad we got your dad off your back.”“I’m headed up for a shower.”We climb the steps into the packhouse. The lobby was full of people. With no trainings on a Saturday, people were socializing and making plans for the weekend. She gives me a grin and raises the pitch of her voice. “Catch you later for our date?”“Yes!” I confirm extra loudly in the lobby of the pack house. “See you at 6:00 p.m.”We had cleaned up Lo’s dried blood at the lodge before enjoying a leisurely walk back to the packhouse. We had gotten some decent mileage in so I was pretty much chec

DeidreI’ve never seen my husband’s face drain of color before. The look made me tremble. I moved backwards until I could brace my back against one of the patient tables in the small infirmary room.Mark let out a low growl before Jason could speak.“What do you mean, ‘turned them human?’”I gulped. Facing two Alphas was not something I did on an everyday basis. It was incredibly intimidating. Don’t be ridiculous. You are the Luna! Pull yourself together! “What I mean is… the bodies of Petrus and Rashaad were no longer capable of turning into wolves.”“How could you possibly know that?” Sin

KiraI texted Jack. I really had no excuse.KIRA: Hey you. I heard training was cancelled today.JACK: I was just about to text you! Do you have time to hang today?How do you text someone that you want to meet up with them in person to not really hang out, but kind of just… break up instead?KIRA: Yes, maybe we could go for a drive?JACK: Great. Meet you at my car in a half hour?KIRA: Sounds great.Sounds great? I was lying to both of us.Pacing around my room, I

PerrinI was still pretty annoyed with Jaz. I get that healing was really important to her, and that I know she was making an important decision for her career, but it didn’t make it sting less.Ok, I wasn’t really mad at her. Just annoyed that I had gone through all of this trouble to end up without a date and spending my Saturday night without my girlfriend.I really needed to blow off some steam. The run this morning burned off some of the rage I felt at the news of another attack, but I was boiling again. My phone buzzed repeatedly on the bed. It was my father.“Good morning. Err, it isn’t really a good morning, is it?”“S

PerrinI held Lo close to my chest, hoping she wouldn’t make a sound. I could feel every breath as her chest pressed into mine. The coconut smell of her shampoo was lightly fragrant. I became instantly nervous that he would be able to smell it.“I know that scent. And he shouldn’t be here.”I heard heavy, shuffling steps along the stone floor, and the another. There were two werewolves in here. One scent I recognized. The other was foreign to me. How strange. Why would Janas bring another pack member into our archive?Silently, Lo looked up into my face. She was confused, not scared. She looked… almost annoyed.“This is your

PerrinMy heart was racing. I could barely breathe. My knuckles were white on the lap of my jeans.“Can you drive any faster?”“Do you want the car to flip?” Lo’s voice was equally anxious. We both knew there was nothing we could do but drive. The call had ended.“Take a right here!” The Audi cornered easily as Lo navigated the sharp turn. “A half mile up the road, there should be a parking lot on the left.”She had barely slowed the car when I threw open the passenger side door. Half falling and running into the parking lot, my senses were completely heightened.Hitting the ground on all fours, my wolf instincts took over. I wasn’t going to p

Leila“Perrin, over here!”He was at least a half a mile away, but he heard me. I had just caught the flowery scent of roses. Kira. She had to be nearby.Perrin was there before I had a chance to pick up on the direction it was coming from.He pointed without words.We ran down a grassy knoll into a patch filled with wildflowers. For a beautiful day, the park was remarkably empty.“She has to be nearby. Don’t worry.” But I knew my words didn’t have any effect.“Go that way. We can’t take any chances.”We separated again.
