Tonight has been a somber event, more heartbreaking than I had expected. Maybe it's because I'm not sure that my pack would grieve this much for me if I were to pass, or maybe it's because my mate is lying unconscious in Hunter's pack hospital that I'm feeling so wrung out emotionally.

I give her a few moments to collect herself. When she looks at me, her gaze is direct and full of intelligence. I'm guessing she has an idea of why I wanted to speak to her.
