Chapter 29

Leaning back against a large rock, I gazed up at the stars. Something I hadn’t been able to do since moving to Haven. I often wondered if there even were stars in the Alaskan sky. My heart ached, causing my throat to tighten as I thought about William. I wondered if I would ever see him again. A single tear spilled onto my cheek, but I quickly wiped it away with the back of my hand.

I overheard the four of them arguing, again. I felt sure it was about me, and my ineptness to catch and kill the coyote that had gotten away. I wasn’t a cold-blooded killer, and something told me the coyote was just like me, thrown into the middle of something that was out of its control. When I had looked into its eyes, I saw only hurt and sadness. It hadn’t wanted to be there any more that I did. I overheard James say my name, which made me listen more closely.

“Gen’s not ready. She couldn’t even track down an injured coyote,” James scoffed.

“You know what Grandfather said. Gen is an important part of this journey. We can’t leave her alone and unprotected. At least if she’s with us, we can protect her.” I watched as Joseph got extremely close to James’ face.

“Stop it! Quit fighting,” Luna snapped, her voice carrying.

“Shh, she’ll hear you guys,” Joseph said.

“She doesn’t want you, Joseph,” Joshua snapped.

“Is that what you think, Joshua? It’s not like that. Gen and I are just friends,” Joseph replied harshly.

I was having a really hard time keeping my mouth shut. They were arguing because of me. I was somehow tearing them apart. I couldn’t figure out what I’d done to make Joshua and James hate me so much. I hoped they weren’t holding my attacking and almost killing them against me. It wasn’t my fault and it wasn’t personal. Nobody had bothered to tell me what to expect. Maybe if I’d known, I could’ve at least attempted to prepare for it.

A noise coming from somewhere behind the trees caught my attention, and I tried to block out their incessant bickering so I could listen better.

That proved to be entirely impossible. I heard Luna say my name, so I turned my attention back to them.

“I just told you, Joseph. You’re wasting your time … she wants William.”

I saw Joseph drop his shoulders and lower his head. It tugged painfully at my heart, but I wasn’t sure why. I thought my heart belonged to William, so why was my stomach twisting into knots?

The siblings grew quiet for a moment, which allowed me to hear the noise more clearly. It was a voice and it was calling my name. It wasn’t just any voice. It sounded strangely familiar and I was over whelmed with the urge to find out where it was coming from.

“Uh, you guys? Luna?” They had started in on each other again, and refused to pay attention to me. “Um … I’m going to go, uh … use the bathroom,” I called out.
