It’s real, I tell myself.It’s not going anywhere.
So, stop overthinking everything and stay focused.
You’re out in Nightshade walking around with your new mate and your brothers. You need to be ready to defend your mate against any potential attacks.
Any sounds I pick up are in the distance.
People talking as they walk home from having dinner.
Doors closing. Little bursts of laughter, echoing footsteps.
Nothing close enough to be worried about.
Lita’s safe. No one’s out here looking for her.
All we need to do is get food and go back home.
It’s not going to take long. The barn where the vegetables are grown isn’t far away.
I glance back to see Lita is walking with her arm around Fox’s middle.
Snake is close to her other side, his gaze on that basket she’s carrying.
Scar is walking behind us, his arms full of packets of meat.
He is glancing around, as we walk, keeping a look out for signs of trouble.
I do not think it’s likely that we are going to encounter anything, but my instincts refuse to switch off.
The only reason I can think of for feeling so worried is because I have a mate to take care of now.
A wolf’s instincts are supposed to be sharp. We’re supposed to know if there’s going to be trouble.
Well, it feels like there’s going to be, but everything is quiet.
There’s no reason anything should go wrong.
We killed all the chimera.
I let out a soft sigh.
I will be glad once we are back at Scar’s mother’s house.
Being out here in Nightshade after dark is making me paranoid.
Chapter Forty-Two
Fox
Istandwatchoutsideof the vegetable store with Scar, holding Lita’s basket of eggs and trying not to swing it around too much. Apparently, eggs are breakable. I had no idea until she gave me the basket and I tipped one out by accident. It splattered on the ground, making a gooey mess.
“I am not sure I like the look of eggs,” I admit.
“They are very different when they are cooked,” Scar assures me.
“Hm,” I murmur, not sure I believe him.
He has never lied to us before, so I suppose I should give eggs a chance before I dismiss them as inedible before I have tried whatever dish Lita intends to make with them.
