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.

“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.”
