“Thank you for saving me from my mother,” I said on a laugh, ignoring the twinge in my side.

Both Audrey and Adalyn just shook their heads, Audrey’s lips twitching.

“I’ll be sure not to tell your mother that.”

“Oh, I think I will. Or maybe I’ll tell that cousin of yours, and then he can tease you.” Adalyn beamed, and while I might have enough cousins to fill a football stadium, I knew exactly which one she spoke of.

“You do that, and I will tell Nico your weaknesses.”

The hunter narrowed her gaze at me, even as her lips twitched. “You aren’t playing fair.”

“You’re the one who wants to give me up to him. I’m just saying.”

“This is nice, this girl time with us.” I looked over as Dara spoke, the witch rubbing the back of her neck as she put her feet up on the couch.

My mother had been taking most of the past week to pamper me, to the point that I was exhausted. I was nearly fully healed from the attack. That poison and that magic-covered blade had done its damage. But as soon as the magic had dissipated, the wound itself healed mostly on its own. I hadn’t needed my own Healer, since the Aspen Pack Healer had tried to help as much as possible.

No, even though I’d had a dagger in my side, the magic was what had done the most damage. Magic we were all a little worried about, considering there were no cures or ways to fight it that we knew of.

After a week of my mother’s attention, trying to baby me even in my own home, Adalyn and Audrey had kidnapped me. I was grateful and fully healed. I didn’t need to have my mother worrying about me as if I was a child that needed saving over and over again.

We were now at Adalyn’s house, Audrey having decided that she needed a girls’ night as well, so Gavin went out with the guys.

Dara was here, as were Wren and Wynter, and Novah. Lily was out on another date, and I could not wait to meet this man who made the woman smile.

It was odd to think that I was enjoying my girl time with the Aspens so much. It hadn’t even occurred to me to try to find girl time with my friends back in the Redwoods. Because I was friends with them, but honestly, they were family more than just friends. These women didn’t think of me as the Redwood Pack princess. Instead, they thought of me as their friend, one who fought with them, the one who constantly threw herself in front of Chase to save his life, and possibly something more.

“I’m sad that Lily isn’t here to join us. I want to know more about this man of hers,” Novah said as she leaned back into her chair and began to knit. Novah and Audrey were the only two mated women in our group. I didn’t know Novah that well, other than she was a Truth Seeker.
