“Shh.” Atlas strokes my hip, and puts the softest whip into his whisper. “Sleep, Lilah. We’ll take care of you.”
I sink into his promise.
JJ hugs my wrist. Finn rubs my feet. Orion whispers love in my ears. Atlas pets me like he’s stroking fur. And even Hunter’s curses make it to my ears like the sweetest music.
My alphas.
My Wyverns.
They’re warm and solid and safe, and for the first time in my life, I let go.
This is my pack.
FORTY-SEVEN
LILAH
I sleep on and off for days. In the hospital, then back to my cozy compound cave, in this weird, dreamy world where I’m held and petted and purred over like a soft little princess.
Holy shit.
I’m a soft little princess.
And I drowned a drug lord, but who ever earned a crown without some blood?
I smile into the sheets, roll over and—
Pillow’s empty.
Panic rears, but Orion’s fresh kiss lingers on my forehead, reminding me I’m not alone.
He hasn’t left my side.
None of them have left my side.
Until now.
I sit up, wanting to move my hair out of my face, but instead of tangles it’s all smoothly combed. And instead of empty fingers, I have a phone attached to me with hair ties.
It vibrates, screen showing a message from Orion.
My heart thumps, for once, daring to expect a good surprise.
Doctor Morgan says you’re healed enough for the heat to hit. Should be this afternoon.
We’re here. We’re waiting. But we won’t pressure.
Catherine sent your offers.
Read ours too.
Call if you need us.
If you need anything.
We’ll give you space, but we won’t run no matter what you choose.
There’s a pause, filled with the happy swelling of my heart, then another message vibrates.
