I was woken by the sounds of the pack's excitement. The feeling in the pack made me nervous and scared and I suddenly felt vulnerable and alone. Tears began streaking down my cheeks as fear began to overwhelm me.

"Hey. Are you in pain? What's the matter?" Deborah asks me. She's the one sitting with me today.

"What's going on? Are we under attack?"

"No, I'm not sure exactly what's going on. I can find out if you want me to," she says, but I shake my head quickly.

"Don't leave me. Please don't leave me," I say to her.

"I'm right here. You're safe," she says soothingly. I'm not sure I'll ever feel safe again. Every time I close my eyes, I see him. I'm back in that bathroom with Arlo, terrified, dominated, and abused. Luna Yara said I could go back to the packhouse today, but I'm not sure that will be any better. What will the pack say to me? How will they look at me?

I hear the doors to the pack hospital open and Deborah goes to look into the hallway.

"Oh, hello Alphas, hello Lunas," she says.

"Kennedy, go with your mother. I'm going to check on Christy," I hear Alpha say. Luna Yara pokes her head into the room first.

"I'm going to get my daughter settled, then I'll be back to check on you," she says, then her gaze focuses on me and she steps into the room. "Christy?"

I feel my lips trembling as tears begin running down my cheeks again. "What's going on?" I ask.

“I've got this Luna. Go help Kennedy and I'll be in soon,” Alpha says, stepping in behind her.

Luna Yara steps back out and Alpha nods at Deborah to join her. When he walks to the bed, a feeling of calm protectiveness washes over me. He wipes the tears from my cheeks then pulls up a chair, taking my hand in his.

"What has you frightened, Christy?" he asks gently. I've never heard Alpha speak so softly before.

"What's going on, Alpha? The pack feels... I don't what they feel like," I tell him.
