Chapter 118 Ava: Alone at Last

The good thing about Lisa's apartment is that it's soundproof.

That means, with Kellan gone, we can talk to our heart's content.

Which is exactly what we do, as I fill Lisa in on what I experienced while I was unconscious. Lisa looks confused.

"I know I'm a human, but that doesn't sound like your wolf is emerging. It sounds unrelated to wolves entirely."

Precisely, Selene says, her tone approving. She likes Lisa.

"Selene agrees," I translate for Lisa.

It is an awakening, but not of your wolf. She snorts and gives a quick shake of her head. I'm already awake.

I laugh, and Lisa looks at me with a questioning stare.

So, of course, I tell her.

It's unfortunate she can't hear Selene.

"She's funny," Lisa remarks, petting Selene's ears. Despite knowing the dog in front of her is a wolf on the inside, she hasn't stopped treating Selene as a lovable husky.

"So, an awakening of what, exactly?"

Your powers, she says, her words terse. The necklace will do no good for you now. The ring, too. You've grown too powerful. It's time to train before you get yourself killed.

Oh.

That doesn't sound good.

It does not, she confirms grimly. Unfortunately, I don't know where we can go for tutelage.

"Okay, so I have to learn on my own then."

That carries great risk.

The grimace that twists my face has Lisa's eyes bouncing between me and Selene, but she sits patiently, waiting for the summary.

"Isn't it risky for me to just do nothing? I was in a coma for three weeks. Isn't that bad enough?"
