Marked By Midnight
I couldn’t leave the entire burden to my Gamma, not with lives at stake.
I had to go, but how could I leave her? I didn’t want to wake her, didn’t want to see confusion or fear in her eyes. So I did the one thing I had to, I marked her while she slept.
My mark glowed faintly on her skin, a promise, a claim, a bond. Then I left a note beneath the lamp by the bedside, explaining everything. I prayed she’d read it. I prayed she’d wait.
Now that my pack is safe, and protected, I returned without delay. It was late when we arrived at Duskwind Circle, but I didn’t care. I went straight to Kellan, heart racing.
