Chapter Fourteen

The pattern of Skylar’s blanket burned into her eyes. They burned, period, because it had been so long since she’d blinked. She’d been lost in thought, picking at the black-and-white contrast of the Native American pattern, tracing each triangle and curve with the tip of her finger. She’d lain in her room for what seemed like forever, yet nothing felt concrete. Like she was just wasting away and unsure of how to handle the situation.

How could this big a decision be left on her shoulders? Why did she have to forgive them for something that should have never happened? The universe sure had a plan for her, and it seemed like it was rife with pain and suffering. Skylar sighed, turning onto her back to look at the ceiling, and grabbed her phone from next to her.

“Hello?” The familiar voice chirped into the phone, surrounded by the sound of voices in the background. Skylar closed her eyes against the tears and relief.

“Reggie, it’s Sky.”

“Sky! Oh, my God!” Reggie squealed, and Skylar let out a laugh at the excitement in her best friend’s voice. Her human friend, who lived a simple life free of Shifter problems. “You bitch! It’s been almost a month!”

“I know,” Skylar groaned into the phone. “I’m sorry. Things have been a little crazy.”

“Hold on a second, guys. I got a phone call,” Reggie said away from the phone. “Where are you at?” she whispered, the noise behind her getting quieter. Sunday evening, and Reggie was probably visiting family.

Skylar sighed. “You know I can’t tell you that.”

Reggie clicked her tongue. It was an annoying habit of hers when she was disappointed, like an old grandma scolding a child. But she didn’t say anything about it, and that was a relief. “Your dad came to my house.”

Skylar shot up in bed, shoving her hair back from her face. “What? When?” Jon wasn’t even supposed to know about Reggie. Somebody in the pack must have squealed on who she hung out with from school.

“Not long after you disappeared. I didn’t even know you’d left, so I obviously couldn’t tell him anything.” Reggie’s voice sounded flat with disappointment. Of course she was mad Skylar didn’t tell her, but Skylar hadn’t really known either.

“Did he…do anything?” Reggie was a human. A stubborn, strong-willed, and mouthy human who probably snapped at Jon the minute he said who he was. She could imagine how her Alpha would have reacted to such a rude female. Reggie didn’t know what they were, but she knew about Jon’s beatings.

“No.” Reggie sighed into the phone, and Skylar could hear the quiet smack of her gum. “He was pretty fucking pissed, Sky. What did you do to him before you left?”

“Just stole his secret stash of money,” Skylar said, relief allowing her to lean back against the pillows. At least he hadn’t done anything to her. Reggie laughed, letting out a small snort at the end that caused Skylar to smile.

“Listen, hon. He was a man ready to wrestle with the wolves, if ya know what I’m sayin’.
