Chapter 72
Kira
My head is still pounding and it had already started to get dark out. Shit. How much had I really drank? How much had I slept? I was starving. My mother had no sympathy for me and before I could even tell her about Jason, had left to head to the infirmary to see Ethan. I hadn’t had the energy to call for room service. That wasn’t a regular privilege at the pack house, but occasionally Dina would take pity on me and entertain the notion.
I slid into a pair of yoga pants and a hoodie, donning sunglasses despite being indoors. The fluorescent lights of our hallways could be a real bitch.
I contemplated the elevator but the speed and lift of the motion made my stomach turn just thinking about it. Maybe I’d have greasy pizza. Or break

PerrinI hadn’t actually ever been nervous for patrol before. Well, not at least since the first time I ever did it. I ran my first patrol with my dad and Beta Mark. We had shifted just before sundown, ran for hours in wolf-form, and it was amazing. I had never looked back. Patrol was a pack obligation that I really enjoyed fulfilling. It felt like the most natural part of being in the pack, really. At least until the Sacred Call.Except for tonight, I wasn’t looking forward to it at all. Not that I didn’t mind a challenge. But something was just so… unsettling, about Justin.I made my way back down after I had changed to the packhouse steps. Gamma Janas was already checking the patrol in and giving orders.“Ah yes, Alpha Dauphin, you’ll be wit

Perrin“Jaz, what are you doing here?”She was wearing a spaghetti-strapped slip, material thin enough to be see-through. Her full breasts were on clear display fabric, dark nipples already taught peaks beneath as they stretched the thin material across them.My arousal was instant, and she eyed me up and down from the bed.“Well?” she mused. “Aren’t you glad to see me?”“Obviously.” I motioned at my shorts. “But I thought you had to work?”“I did. And I decided your bed was a better place to study…”I took a step closer to the bed. “Study… is that what w

Perrin I had grabbed clothes from the floor of my bedroom, dashing down the hall. I jammed my fingers into the elevator as Kira rushed up behind me, shouting over my shoulder. “How long has he been awake?” “Mom just got the call. Minutes, maybe? She headed over when I came up to tell you.” I jammed the elevator button again. It was too damn slow. I headed for the stairs, Kira on my heels. Jaz slammed my bedroom door behind her, dressed in one of my hoodies and a pair of my old gym shorts. The three of us pounded down the stairs, my heart pounding even harder. ** The car ride to the infirmary had been a blur. My father had already driven over with Beta Mark and Mistra, having sent Charlie back to

Leila There was a sharp rapping knock on my door. I was already awake and had been anticipating my alarm, but the in-person wake up call was not welcome. “Go away!” I yelled at the door. “Are you decent?” My father’s voice was muffled by the door. “Yes, come in,” I growled. My father was fully dressed, but once again looking ragged. While he was clearly a morning person, he lacked attention to his appearance. Of course appearances weren’t everything, but it did carry weight for a Beta. I shoved myself up to a seated position, swiping hair out of my face. “What?” I tried not to sound exasperated, but it was shortly after 5 a.m. “I thought you would wa

LeilaThe hallways felt sterile; the fluorescent lights were harsh on my eyes. I followed Lorrie down a hallway up to a door of a private room.“He’s in here.”I pushed open the door gently, not sure if he really was awake.A healer was checking charts on one side of the bed. “I’ll be gone in just a moment. He’s in the process of waking. You have excellent timing.” Her smile was warm, large purple scrubs supporting pens, gloves stuffed in pockets, and other typical materials of a healer on rotation. I glanced at her nametag. Naineeve.“Thank you.” I said. Waiting patiently for her to leave, I sat myself down in the chair beside Ethan--the

PerrinMy alarm sounded and seemed to crush my soul.I half expected Kira to throw a pillow at my head, prompting me to turn the alarm off. Nothing. I blindly felt for my phone on my side table and silenced the alarm.Kira wasn’t here for the first time in a week. She had actually gone to bed in her own suite last night. At least, I hope she had. I wasn’t in the mood for her drinking games or getting her out of the shower or… or anything like that.I groaned and got dressed, brushing my teeth and flipping through emails and the local headlines of the morning’s digital paper. I nearly choked on my toothpaste.Spitting it out, I dialed Cynthia’s number. She didn’t pick up. It was 6am, but I swear that woman never

Leila“I’m not blind, Lo.”“But you--”“I’m really sensitive to light. I can open my eyes when it’s dark, but everything now just looks like foggy shapes.”The knot in my chest untightened slightly. I wasn’t sure what to say. My visit to see Ethan and reconnecting after all these years had been amazing up until a few moments ago. But I wasn’t sure I could believe him.“Would it help if I turned the lights off?”“No. I’m supposed to keep my eyes closed for another week. I’m thinking about getting some sick sunglasses, actually…”“I’m serio

LeilaI couldn’t be here. Couldn’t breathe. Naineeve came sprinting down the hall, ushering Ethan back into his room.I sprinted down endless corridors until I came to a set of double doors, bursting into the lobby.“You need to check out!” Lorrie called after me, but I didn’t care. I needed to get out of here.I ran around the back of the building, locating a small trail. And I ran.PerrinI spent the first hour sparring and warming up. Spurred by the elation of Ethan’s pending recovery, I was recommitting myself to train and ensure that I was ready for the Sacred Call. I was sweeping everyone who stepped into the ring, and that felt great. Empowering.
