Chapter 11

Alana

“Vorek, don’t go!” I call out, but he disappears before I can stop him.

Shivering and cold, I somehow manage to right myself. My limbs are heavy and shaking, but I force myself toward the cavern entrance, hoping to catch him before he leaves.

The roar of the falls muffles the chorus of howls sounding in the distance, so I cannot tell how close they are. But, it doesn’t matter. The fact that I can hear them at all means I’m too late.

Vorek cannot turn back. Not now. They’d surely catch him. I can do nothing but wait—wait and pray he returns safely.

The cavern is warm, but it isn’t enough to stop me from shivering. I make my way toward the back of the cave, running my hand along the wall’s rough surface to guide my steps. Night has fallen outside and I’m thankful the moon is full outside providing enough illumination that I can still see the cavern entrance when I glance over my shoulder.

It’s enough to give me confidence to continue toward the warm springs despite how dark it is as I continue toward the back.

The stone floor grows warmer and a fine mist of steam hovers in the air as I approach the pool near the back of the cave.

My feet bump into something soft, and I realize it’s the pile of my sopping wet furs. I kneel and carefully spread them out along the floor so the heat will dry them.

The sound of dripping water echoes softly throughout the space, and I continue my exploration to find the pool. Placing one foot in front of the other, with my hand tracing along the wall, I advance deeper. The steam rising up from the floor thickens around me, surrounding me with warmth. I carefully sweep my foot out, and find the edge of the water.

It’s so dark back here, I can barely see my hand in front of my face. Dropping to my knees near the edge. I start to remove my slave dress, but I hate the idea of being completely nude. Especially since I don’t know when I might need to run or fight.

My hands trace along the threadbare material, and a thought occurs to me. I no longer need this dress, and it already provides very little in the way of warmth.

I grip the hem and pull it over my head. Laying it down on the floor before me, I measure, first the span of two, then four hand widths. Carefully, I tear the two long strips, the material giving way easily.

I wrap the smaller portion and tie it around my breasts, the other, I tie around my hips like a short skirt. I’m still wet, but it’s not nearly as bad as when I was completely covered.

I submerge myself in the water and a small sigh of contentment escapes my lips. I don’t allow myself to remain very long, however, because I need to be ready to run when Vorek returns. If he cannot lose the Lycaons, we’ll have to find somewhere else to shelter.
