Chapter 176 Ava: Attending the Rites
Odd? How so?
Selene's soft whine catches Kellan's attention. "We'll be there soon. Will she be okay?"
It doesn't seem that he realizes the dog is not actually a dog. "She's fine."
I thought I had all my memory, but when I try to think back, everything is fuzzy. Even my own name doesn't come to mind.
My head aches at the thought of trying to unravel that. What kind of memories? From becoming a dog?
Not exactly. My past life. My identity. Many things… Things I thought I remembered. Vanessa's words sound familiar, but I cannot access the memories. It feels important.
That just sounds… Yeah. She's right. It's odd.
How long have they been missing?
Silence.
Then, I don't know. Forever.
Leaning down, I rub at Selene's head. It'll be okay. I'm sure we'll figure it out. But we both know my promise is hollow. I have no way of keeping it.
Selene whines again, resting her head on her paws as she stays beneath my chair. Ava, am I a detriment to you?
Of course not. My denial is swift and from the heart. But… I think we might make bad decisions together.
Her mood plummets; I can feel it in the back of my head. Like Lucas and his wolf, as children.
Scratching behind her ears in gentle consolation, my heart is buoyed when she leans against my touch. You have given me much strength by being here. We'll figure it out together.
Together, she confirms, but that insecure edge to her words is still there.
