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.

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.

“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.
