Chapter 77.

Nelly’s POV.

The sounds of the pack were distant and hazy, muffled by a blanket of silence. I could. make out the scent of Kex and Aisha, I could tell they were sitting very close to me. But something was wrong. I couldn’t see, couldn’t move.

I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn’t move. I tried to open my mouth to call out, to scream, but nothing came out. My heart pounded.

My eyes fluttered open, and everything was a blur. I blinked hard, trying to focus, but everything was a haze of shapes and colors. I could make out several heads hovering. around me. I closed my eyes again, and when I opened them, everything was a bit clearer. There was Kex, his face filled with relief.

“Kex,” I croaked, my voice dry and scratchy.

Kex pulled me into a hug, his arms warm and comforting. I relaxed into his embrace, letting myself be held.

I clung to him, returning his embrace. I wanted to tell him that I never meant to worry him, that I just needed some time to think. But my throat was dry, my voice failing me. I had to settle for a silent promise, never to disappear like that again.

“Thank you,” I said, my voice still a bit scratchy.

“You’re welcome,” he replied, giving me a sideways hug. “I’m glad you’re okay.”
