Chapter 13

Violet came awake slowly, as if she had crawled down a long, dark tunnel to get here. It felt like her brain and her body were fighting each other. Her brain was forcing her to do this thing, to open her eyes, to look around her. Her body was telling her it wasn’t worth the effort, to curl up, stop fighting...just fade away.

No! She forced her eyelids apart, even though the effort made her want to sob. When she did, the room swam dizzyingly in and out of focus, but she caught a glimpse of Nate’s long, denim-clad legs and fixed her gaze on them. Focus on him. Fight for him...for us. She forced every cell in her body to obey her. Something was different, and she frowned. Two pairs of denim-clad legs? Was she seeing double, or was there someone else in the room?

Nate knelt beside the bed and brushed her hair back from her face. His expression was tender, and she wished he wouldn’t smile at her that way. That is how he’ll smile at my memory when I’m gone.

“There’s someone I want you to meet.”

Another man crouched down next to him. “We’ve met before.”

Violet frowned in an effort to remember. She should remember this man. He was strikingly handsome, with strong features and unusual silver eyes. “I’ve lost my memory.” She tried to explain, but her voice was so feeble she wasn’t sure if any sound came out. He must have heard her, because he replied.

“That’s why I’m going to take you home. My name is Cal.” That name. She had heard it before. He was Nate’s friend, the one who had saved him when he was a feral werewolf. But there was something else about it, something she should know. “I’m going to take you back to Otherworld.”

Otherworld. So it wasn’t just part of her imagination. It existed. It was her home. Tears stung her eyelids. I’m going home. She closed her eyes. A dozen feelings swirled around inside her, trying to claim her attention. There was joy that she might get well again. Relief that she hadn’t been going mad when she had believed there was another world. Shock that she would be leaving this world and everything in it that she had grown to know here. But there was one feeling that rose above and overwhelmed all the others. It was determination. Because there was one person she would never leave.

She opened her eyes again and stared directly at Cal. “Not without Nate.” This time she made sure her voice was strong enough to be heard.

“Mortals cannot enter Otherworld.” His tone was regretful.

“Then I will stay here.”

Nate took her hand. “Violet, you know you can’t remain here. Your wolf self is dying. Now we know why. You were right when you said you didn’t belong here. For some reason, you are unable to survive in the mortal realm. You have to go home to Otherworld.”

“I belong with you.” With a huge effort, she managed to raise their joined hands to her cheek.
