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
The Unchosen Mate Chapter 83
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

Perrin “Have you talked to Jaz today?” Her words echoed in my brain. I had tried calling her twice this afternoon, just as an excuse to talk to her or make plans. I left her room and wandered down the hall to my own suite. It was so frustrating how Lo had to keep poking into my relationship. It was all so stupid. I had a missed call from Jaz and a voicemail. She rarely left voicemails, so I pressed the playback icon and listened. My stomach dropped. Her words cut hard, name-calling and profanity aside. Betrayal? Coward? Cheating? This wasn’t happening. I tried calling her back, but every single time it started to ring I got an automated voice m
