I became suddenly aware of voices around me. It felt like I was drifting in and out of a nothingness that I desperately wanted to escape. I had felt like nothing like this before. Had I died? My body felt heavy, while I fought a battle simply to open my eyes. I strained to move my limbs, as the brightness of the sky around me hurt my delicate eyes as they began to flicker.
My eyes struggled to focus making everything difficult to see, but I was certain that I caught sight of Kael's father... yet no part of my brain could make sense of why he would be there with me. He had avoided contact with me from what I had seen in my time during his pack. So what could have changed? Was I in trouble? Why else would he be there? Had he learned of me coming in and out of his pack and did not agree with it? Had he learned the truth of his son and I? Yet none of those I believed would explain why he would be with me.
