Chapter Twelve

“Take him home,” Alarick said at last, when the wolf’s side had gone still at last. He turned to Vance, who was barely injured. Alarick, meanwhile, looked like he might collapse at any moment. Still, his voice was strong and commanding. “We all need time to heal, and then we’ll be gone. Ravenwood is yours.”

I waited for Vance to attack while Alarick was weakest, but after a moment, he nodded and stepped back. He must recognize he was outnumbered, and maybe he was more levelheaded than Mr. Wolf. Maybe he knew that killing a wolf defeated the whole purpose of what they’d been trying to do all along.

Alarick returned his nod before turning away and starting for the cabin.

“I have something I want to say to him,” Brooklyn said, stepping forward and shaking her brown hair back before addressing the dead wolf. “I hope you rot in hell, you sadistic, sick bastard.” She spit on his body, then turned and stomped away.

Vance’s eyes flashed with his wolf. “No one else better dare to disrespect our fallen leader,” he growled. “Or there will be more casualties today.”

We were all too shocked to move, and no one said a word for a minute. I was pretty sure that, no matter their relationship with their father, none of the other wolves would have even thought of disrespecting the dead like that. After a solemn nod, I stepped back and limped toward the cabin where Alarick and Brooklyn had gone. I expected Jose to go off with Vance, as they’d always seemed inseparable, but he followed us to the cabin instead.

There, we set up our plan. Werewolves didn’t heal instantly, despite being able to heal themselves. And I needed energy to heal, which meant I needed food. I wasn’t about to ask the wolves if I could have some of their blood, since they all had wounds of their own to recover from. As much as I hated to, I knew I had to leave Alarick’s side. His injuries were most severe of all, but Donovan assured me he would heal, and I had no choice but to take his word. Controlling my own hunger was getting harder by the minute. By that night, I had to leave the wolves and go back to the school to recover.

“Oh my god, what happened to you?” Svana asked, shooting to her feet when I came staggering into our dorm room and collapsed onto the bed. I’d wrapped my hoodie around my side, but she could smell the blood, of course.

“Wolf bite,” I said, hardly able to speak. Pain was lancing through me with every move I made, and walking back from the cabin had been pure torture. Mr. Wolf had bitten me in the soft area right above the hip, which meant every step was a reminder of the muscles in my side that had been torn through by his savage wolf teeth.

“I’ll get you blood,” Svana said. “Stay right there. Don’t move.”

She returned in a few minutes with twice my usual dinner.
