I blinked in confusion and tried to gather myself, but my heart raced, and my head felt as if it were drowning in a sea of thoughts.

Beams of sunlight filtered in through the window, which told me it was already morning. That dream had felt so short, but hours had passed by like minutes.

“I’m sorry to wake you,” Erika apologized when I met her eyes again. “I found you shaking and grew worried. Your teeth were clenched, and you were whimpering. Did you have a nightmare, honey?”

I shook my head, but only a little. It wasn’t exactly a nightmare, though it had been unpleasant. I wondered if “Emmett” would have told me something useful if my dream hadn’t been interrupted. I didn’t believe the dream would have been prophetic, but I wondered if my late husband had indeed left me something like he’d said.

I dreamed of a world that didn’t involve warring Packs, military coups, mysterious illnesses, and hidden identities. I just yearned for a

normal life.

I managed to gather myself and convince Erika that I was fine, and though the maid didn’t seem all that convinced, she let the subject go. We woke Finnick up a bit

I wasn’t sure if they had any conflicts with any of the surrounding countries or Pack s at the present, but the security here was obviously strict. We had passed quite a few sentries after entering Vlokwell, and
