Thursday-Friday   Elle’s POV   As the tedious and secluded days passed, so did the hounding need to have her abundant questions answered. A deep, sweet longing for her husband replaced those questions, mirrored by empty aching loneliness.  It was boring around the castle without a single living soul, but she missed Corvin most of all. Just the memory of his smile was enough to bring warmth and color to her cheeks. She went through the motions of checking the rooms for things to do. But they remained the same as yesterday, and it seemed that her laundry was all that would be cleaned today.

Saturday Elle’s POV   It was a beautiful day, the kind where nothing could go wrong.  Tara walked by her side. She was saying something, but no sound was coming out of her mouth, and she didn’t seem to notice. Jimmy smiled at her from across the hall. Looking at him made alarm bells ring in her head; something was wrong. He stepped up to her asking if she was alright. She screamed. He leaned into her baring sharp pointed teeth covered in blood. She pushed him away. Suddenly, Jimmy was gone. She stumbled back and tried to clear her head. But it took her a few minutes. She looked up to see the most ferocious giant wolf. It faced off against the monstrous creature that attacked her. Her mi

Monday   Elle’s POV   Over the next 24 hours, the knocks on her door were people bringing food to her and Corvin from the kitchen. But neither Corvin nor Remus awakened. She couldn’t taste the food and didn’t feel hungry. She ate what she could stomach.  She slept on Corvin’s shoulder and gasped whenever he moved. She expected him to wake up at any moment. But she also knew that her expectation was far-fetched because he was still severely injured. Doctor Cayden would be by soon to look at his patient and ensure that he was getting better. Elle waited for the company impatiently. When a knock came at the door, Elle jum

  Tuesday  Elle’s POV When she went into the bedroom, it was especially quiet. Corvin’s breathing had slowed a lot. She walked up to the bed and was about to sit down when a low, threatening growl greeted her. She glanced around the room.  But as she moved away from Corvin, the growling subsided. She stepped back up to the bed. Remus growled low and threatening again as she sat next to him.  She closed her eyes. She wanted to connect with him on whatever level he could experience right now. Gently, she placed her hand on his chest, and Remus barked at her ferociously.  “It’s me, Remus.” She whispered softly, begging

Tuesday   Elle’s POV   Elle led Arya into the living room, and they sat down next to each other on the couch. Arya was describing what young Corvin and Remus went through together. It fascinated and horrified Elle. She felt for the lost little boy, born a lonely hero. “I want to hear the rest,” Elle told her, extremely interested. Arya chuckled. “He was quite the sight tearing through those monsters at such speed, but for everyone that he killed, there were two more attacking him. I don’t know how he did it. They piled on top of him, but he still held their attention and then held them back so that we could pick at them from behind. It was crazy. But by the end of the day, Axel, Doctor Cayden, and I were the only pack members left out of a p
