Chapter 33

can’t imagine life without Selene anymore, even when she isn’t in my head.

It’s wrong.

I fall asleep in fits and starts. Every few hours, a nurse comes in to check all my vitals, and it takes a long time until I can fall asleep again.

But even a restless sleep replenishes your energy, and I wake at sunrise feeling ever–so–slightly refreshed and ready to take on the world.

Well–maybe not the world.

But definitely to ask Alpha Clayton if I can go back to the scene of the accident.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t go well. Apparently, he’s too busy to just be called down to the hospital because a strange woman wants to meet with him.

By lunch, I’m nearly crawling out of my skin with agitation.

33 Ava: Selene’s Return

I drop my spoonful of orange jello in shock.

Selene! Where have you been?!

…can’t…far…

It’s like her voice is ebbing and flowing in my mind. I’m sure she’s saying so much more than I can hear, but the important word is there.

I must be too far to maintain a connection. This isn’t something any other shifter could have explained to me; all their wolves exist with them. I’ve never heard of a wolf that can manifest into their own body, even if it is a dog’s form.

Relief blossoms, relaxing every inch of taut muscle as I lay back in my bed. My breath escapes me in a long sigh.

Selene is close.

She must have been running all night. I’m not sure how fast she can run, but it must have been hard on her.

Selene? I ask after a few minutes.

I can hear you, her voice whispers, and I can feel tears

in my eyes.

33 Ava: Selene’s Return

I’m in a hospital run by the Aspen pack. Their alpha saved me last night. I quickly give a summary of events, feeling her presence strengthen every minute.

Are you hurt?

I shake my head, forgetting she can’t see me.

Ava. Are you hurt?

Not bad, mainly from the car crash. I have some questions, though. They said I’m going into heat. They want me here until my heat is over.

Selene goes silent, but I can still feel her. It’s good to

have her back.

That will be problematic, she says, sounding grim. Has the alpha scented you?

You mean, sniffed me? Yes.
