Chapter 78
Perrin
My 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.

LeilaIt took me several minutes to realize that I had shifted into wolf-form. The pads of my paws kicked up dirt as I ran faster and faster--away from the disaster.Running in my wolf-form was freedom. It came to me that I hadn’t actually phased since I had moved to the Aperture pack. It was only a couple of weeks ago, but at this point--it felt like much longer. My muscles needed to stretch. I loved the feel of the wind as I ran, rustling my white fur.And I ran. Hard.I wasn’t sure where I was, but I ended up near the ocean. It was beautiful with the run reflecting ripples across waves miles out from shore. I enjoyed my heightened vision in my wolf form, and decided to keep running. Running helped me think. And process.What the hel

LeilaWhat is going on? “Why not call my father?”“Because if this Gamma knows who you are, I’d rather not risk heckling a Beta with this type of business.”I stopped, confused. But this was apparently the Ididorahd’s Beta. Wasn’t he being heckled?“Janas will know who I am.”One of the guards snickered down the hallway. “She sure talks like the member of a Beta family. She doesn’t even use the honorifics.”I hadn’t meant to speak so informally about Jana

Ethan “How are you feeling?” “Better. Hungry. When do I get real food?” My mother sat in the chair that Lo had occupied a few hours earlier. I still wasn’t sure what had happened, but it didn’t sound good. Lo looked terrified and Jaz looked capable of murder. Not that it would be the first time. That girl was crazy. And not necessarily in the too-hot, can-get-away-with-it kinda crazy. Just freakin nuts. “The healers said you can’t have solid food for another few days.” “Can’t you see me withering away?” “I can see you just fine. And seeing how you are now versus a week ago, you’ll stick with the jell-o.” I clicked the little button that sent pain med

JasmineI had thrown my phone at the wall when I had gotten back to my apartment. Well, that is, just after I had called Perrin and left him a voicemail that probably would have had me exiled had I been just another wolf in the pack.But that’s really what I was now, wasn’t I? Just another wolf in the pack?I was seething. I didn’t care that I skipped the rest of the lecture. Fuck. And why had Leila… Lo… fuck, WHATEVER her name was. Why was she at the infirmary?I paced back and forth in my apartment, unsure of what to do. Yes, I skipped out on the lecture, but I needed to get back for my rotation after lunch.I sat down, tr

Jasmine Seeing as I had no idea where Irene went, I could take my time wandering the halls, checking every patient room just in case. And of course, putting off the inevitable. What more did she really have to say? She had already taken my rotations away. I can’t imagine how it could get any worse. I finally went to reception and found Lorrie. “Hey, can you tell me where Irene is?” “In her office. Actually I think she’s waiting for you.” “Shit. Thanks.” I stalked off down the hall towards the offices of the Ascended. Each was unique, completely decorated to the personality of each Ascended. Once you had this office, it was yours for…. Well, life. Nai

PerrinI had always wondered what it would be like to find your true mate. I had to admit to myself that I had been really curious about it when Kira had first mentioned it. But now...Justin? Of all people. How could the Goddess have--No. No questioning the Goddess. My father taught me that a long time ago.But I admitted to myself that this felt like some kind of sick joke. How could Kira not accept what the Goddess had in store for her? It had been harder than I expected when I told her that she shouldn’t reject Justin. That was the type of decision my father would have made. Alpha’s could never dictate what pairings the Goddess would make, but rather, endorse them. An Alpha would never tell
