Chapter Eleven

With the bright sun coming in through the windows, last night seemed like a dream. A bad dream. I pulled the covers back and sat up in bed, rubbing my eyes.

All night I’d tossed and turned in bed, thinking about Alekk’s eyes and the low growl of his voice. He knew about our pack, but he hadn’t known my name. I shouldn’t have given it to him. Just the thought of him saying my name was enough to send me into bad thoughts. Terrible thoughts.

Needy thoughts.

He was only a messenger, and yet he was so calm, so strong. What would it be like to be part of a pack full of wolves just like him?

I shook my head. It wasn’t time for thoughts like that. I needed to talk with my parents, to see how my dad was going to avoid going to war. I pulled on my clothes and washed up quickly, then headed downstairs. Nobody was in the kitchen. Great. They had already left to discuss things in the council without me. And Blaise must be with them. It stung, but I blinked back the hurt and grabbed a bagel and rushed out the door.

“Ya! Hya!”

In the meadow behind the house, Blaise and Erroll were outside, circling around each other. At the sight of Erroll, I flushed. I didn’t know how to speak to him after last night.

Fortunately, my dumb twin brother spoke up before I had the chance to make a fool out of myself.

“Hey little Sis.” He landed a blow on Erroll’s back and danced away before he could get hit.

“Argh!” Erroll cried. The two of them resumed circling.

“What are you up to?” I asked.

“Training,” Blaise said. He swept a foot at Erroll’s shins, but Erroll managed to jump over the kick just in time. “Ya!”

“Training,” I repeated flatly. I hoped that Erroll would take notice of me, but he didn’t even say hi. I guess last night wasn’t what I thought it had been. Maybe Marianne had talked with him afterward, had told him that he shouldn’t be my boyfriend. I frowned. It was stupid for me to even be thinking about boyfriends right now. Stupid hormones.

“For war.” Blaise warded off a flurry of blows from Erroll, managing to get hit only once. “If we have to fight, we need to be in top form.”

“Is that what Dad said? To train for war by smacking each other?”

“No. But he won’t let me into the council discussion, so this is the second best thing. Ya!”

“Great,” I said. “Well, you two have fun. Don’t kill each other.”

I walked past them as Erroll managed to land a kick into Blaise’s side. So Dad was already in the council meeting. And they hadn’t even woken me up to let me know where they were going. Awesome.

The morning air was chilly, especially once I made my way past the tree line and into the forest. I could see my breath, and I pulled my hoodie up over my hair. Ugh, my hair.
