I walk out of the bathroom and head toward the bedroom. Despite spending most of the day in bed, I still feel so tired—like my bones are weighed down with something I can’t shake.
The moment we’d returned to the pack house, Aspen had immediately abandoned me in favor of her new friends, and Alec had been swept away by pack duties. He’d been missing in action for three days, and even though Jason and Micah had been holding things together, there were still matters only the Alpha could handle.
He left right after promising he’d check in on me later, and I’d barely made it to my bedroom before crawling under the covers for a nap.
I didn’t do much after that. I just… existed. Let myself rest. My body’s still recovering from the moon heat, and I needed every ounce of stillness to feel like myself again—at least physically—before I could continue with my training.
Now, with a towel wrapped around my body, I step into the bedroom and find Aspen curled up, fast asleep. Today had been one of those rare days where we shared a meal in bed, just the two of us. She’d spent the entire time chattering nonstop, filling every quiet space with tales from the past three days and the friends she’d made in the pack.
I didn’t mind one bit. I’d missed her. Missed her tiny voice, her energy, and her warmth. I could never be annoyed with her—not when I’d gone three days without holding her.
I quickly change into my pajamas and slide into bed, gently pulling her into my arms. She doesn’t stir. Her mouth is slightly open, a tiny snore escaping in a steady rhythm. It’s the sweetest sound I’ve heard all day.
I close my eyes, willing sleep to come, but it doesn’t. Not because I’d spent the entire day resting—no, it’s Raven. Or rather, what she told me.
My insides were in turmoil and no matter how hard I tried thinking about what she had found, nothing came to mind. My mind won’t stop spiraling. She’d said she might have found a way around the curse. Then, as if she hadn’t just dropped a bomb in my lap, she told me we’d talk tomorrow and cut the link.
I’m an anxious person by nature, so you can imagine what that’s doing to me. The not knowing. The unanswered questions. The what ifs. It’s gnawing at me like a splinter I can’t dig out.
“Come in,” I call softly, careful not to wake Aspen.
My breath catches for a minute. Goddess, it’s so cliché, but it’s like the whole room shifts. My heart skips—no, stumbles—and suddenly it’s just him. Only him.
