Chapter 195 Ava: A Familiar Face
I never expected to add my former boss being held up by a flock of bodyguards, a solid thousand miles from Cedarwood, to my list of fucked up shit that happened today.
So it takes a minute for me to process what I'm hearing.
"Mrs. Elkins?"
Selene flattens against the ground, her ears going back as she belly-crawls her way to my bench.
Her bizarre demeanor doesn't even register in my head, because—well, frankly, she's been weird as hell for the past several hours.
"Ava! My dear girl."
Those familiar rheumy eyes and her welcoming smile have me so intensely, terribly homesick for Cedarwood that I have to blink like a maniac to keep the tears at bay. "Mrs. Elkins, how did you get here? And on pack lands?"
Vanessa follows behind as I push my way through the bodyguards, who refuse to let me get too close.
"Calm down, boys. She's a friend of our Luna."
Vanessa's at least forty years younger than any of these men, but they respond to her words anyway, letting me through their human barricade.
I've got to figure out how to wield whatever flimsy authority I have. Even Vanessa gets people to listen to her. Granted, she's a healer—no one wants to get on a healer's bad side. Not even the alpha.
Reaching the old woman, I can see that she's carrying a huge parcel, hugging it to her chest.
"Ava, my dear. Are you all right?"
Her hand shakes as she reaches for my face, as though reassuring herself I'm really alive.
"I'm fine."
