Chapter 160: Picnic

Sophie

When we get back to the packhouse, I get my things and go to Hunter’s office. He pulls me into his lap and rather than get work done, I lean against him, letting his steady heartbeat and breathing lull me to sleep.

‘Luna Sophie,’ I hear in my mind. I open my eyes, groggy with sleep.

‘Yes.’

‘Luna, it’s Dr. Caspian. I wanted to let you know that I’ve repaired Jocelyn’s hip and I’m moving to her thigh bone.’

‘Thank you, Dr. Caspian,” I say before the link closes.

“How long was I asleep,” I say, sitting up in Hunter’s lap and stretching.

“Several hours. I didn’t realize you were so tired, Soph.”

“It’s been a busy few days. Plus, our little man here is starting to get uncomfortable at night and having my face up against your throat helps me to sleep,” I say, reaching out to the warriors to relay Dr. Caspian’s message so they can tell Zahn.

‘Is he behaving?’ I ask them.

‘Yes Luna. He’s been pacing, but he seems a bit better with this news.’

‘You know to let Hunter and I know if he does anything?’

‘Of course, Luna. But we won’t allow him to disrupt Luna Jocelyn’s surgery.”

‘Thank you both,’ I tell them.

‘Any time, Luna.’
