Chapter 30

Tori

I woke up groggy, my nose itching and a foggy haze at the edges of my vision. My hands seemed to swim through the astringent odor of antiseptic as I raised them to my face. The air was thick like molasses, and movement was slow and difficult.

Carefully, because everything at the moment was hard, I used the heel of my hand to remove the grit from my eyes. The incessant beeping of monitors forced my eyes to open because I wanted to get rid of the irritating noise in any way I could. I managed to turn my head to look at the various machines.

A bank of monitors stood to my right. I couldn’t tell which one was beeping, but oh, how I wanted it to stop. Cables coiled across the bed and beneath the sheets, linking me to the beeping sound I couldn’t escape. Apart from that, the sterile room was devoid of anyone other than me, at least from what I could see through the darkness.

Thank goodness for my wolf sight. The thought took me by surprise. I’d never considered my shifter abilities an asset before I arrived in Blackwood Creek, but as I lay here in the dark, being able to see as if the light was switched on, I couldn’t help but be grateful. In the glow from the equipment to the side of me, a glint of something caught my eye, and I tried to turn my head more fully toward it. Red and blue lights flashed behind the blinds covering the window. With the amount of color sneaking in, there had to be a trail of emergency response vehicles outside. If the blinds were open, the room would have lit as if a Christmas tree with flickering lights stood next to my bed.

When I lifted and moved my head, I felt like there were weights strapped to my forehead and the back of my scalp. I stopped trying and lay back. The beginnings of panic stirred deep in my gut. Why was I in the hospital? I closed my eyes again and tried to piece the puzzle together of what the hell was going on and why I felt like I was missing something important.

Fumbling one hand—the other didn’t move so well—across my body and on the mattress on either side of me, I located the controls for the bed and held the button, raising the head of the bed to a more upright position. I was still disoriented, my memory still fuzzy. What I did remember didn’t add up to the condition I found myself in.

Mrs. Marrow, the librarian, had stabbed me, but that didn’t explain why the doctors had drugged me so deeply. I knew being stabbed with silver significantly slowed my shifter healing—another ability to be grateful for—but I wouldn’t have thought my injuries warranted such enforced rest.

As my wolf began to wake, her apprehension became mine, rolling in the pit of my belly. Her disorientation and fear mounted as she struggled to regain full consciousness.
