Chapter 240: Shifted

“Edrick?” I called out.

My voice was only met with nothing but an echo. The world around me was silent… In fact, as my eyes slowly opened, I realized that I was no longer on the cliff. The only thing that I could see around me was a soft, golden light that was somehow blinding yet calming at the same time.

Was this what it was like to be dead?

The last thing I could remember was the blood on my fingers. Michael must have stabbed me and finally got his way, and now I was dead.

But it was strange. When I was in my coma, everything was just a black void. But now, it was all golden and peaceful.

“No.”

I jumped when I heard my wolf’s voice call out from the golden light.

“Mina?” I asked, looking around wildly. “Is that you?”

“Yes, it’s me.” Her voice seemed to be echoing all around me at first, but then it started to coagulate into one place. Finally I could pinpoint where her voice was coming from, and I spun around in that direction.
