I feel trapped in here.

The next morning, I woke up cold and alone, and as the day followed, I found myself still alone.

I only checked on Asher once before going back to my room and trying everything to keep myself distracted. At first, I took a long shower, then a short nap, then watched television, but nothing could distract my thoughts from Wolfe and Asher. The two of them were just in the next room, and I yearned to be near them.

I sat on the edge of the bed and squeezed my lids shut with my fists balled over my thighs. It was as if our current situation wouldn’t completely sink in. I kept finding myself hoping that the kid would be alright, knowing that he wouldn’t be.

Three children Wolfe tried turning, and every single one of them ended up dead. Why would Asher be any different? He’s been out for days and still hasn’t shown any signs of recovering.

I sighed and shook my head, wishing that this wasn’t so hard for me. After everything that’s happened, why did this have to occur? What did Asher ever do to deserve this?

I forced those thoughts away and walked towards my door dressed in nothing but skin, but when I opened the door, a pair of black yoga pants and a royal blue sweater covered my nakedness.

I bit down over my lower lip as I walked to Asher’s door and knocked. “Wolfe?”

Silence replied.

I tried knocking again, the act foreign to my knuckles. “Wolfe? I’m coming in.”

Still, there was only silence.

Rubbing the back of my neck, I slowly opened the door to find Asher and Sun sleeping in the bed. Wolfe wasn’t here, and he wasn’t in the front room either. He was gone.

I should’ve known.

As I walked into the room, I wanted to be angry with Wolfe, but couldn’t be as I neared Asher. I wasn’t sure of what I was supposed to do, not that there was much of anything that I could do, so I sat in the exact same place that Wolfe usually sits and rested my back against the side of the bed.

Sun leapt off the bed and lay beside me with her head in my lap.

“Hey, girl.” I ran my fingers down the back of her head.

Sun purred, helping me release the tension in my body. The sound of her purring always helped me relax.

“I love you,” I whispered.

Sun lifted her head to look up at me, and as always, her green eyes replied with her love for me. She purred again before nuzzling the back of her head into my lower stomach and brushing her fur against me.

I chuckled and slid my hand down the side of her body. “Message received.”

Sun purred once more before becoming still. Eventually, the two of us fell right back to sleep.

Howling.

Usually, the sound would annoy me, but in the silence of the night, it was like music to my ears. The howls were soft as they echoed throughout my mind, but as soon as my eyelids fluttered open, they stopped.
