Chapter 0600
Time moves differently in this place. At first, it moved slowly. I spent a lot of time with Cara and Clint as
they were hurting so much. Most nights, I would sleep beside Clint. But if I heard Cara crying. I’d go lay
down with her. Sometimes I would spend time with Calista who holds a lot of quilt for my death. No
matter how many times Anders tells her it wasn’t her fault, she still blames herself.
I listen to my daughter when she calls Liam, crying on the phone, or telling him something funny that
happened at school. She’s afraid to tell her father, although he usually already knows. But she doesn’t
want to upset him because she is finding small moments of happiness. Liam is always a good friend to
her, supporting her and validating her feelings. I’m not sure I realized how important it was for him to
have me, until I watch how valuable having him is to Cara.
I watch as Clint slowly begins to live again. I like sitting with him at my memorial. It’s like he’s really
talking to me. Andra really likes the memorial, too. She goes and lays on it when Clint is there, almost
like she’s watching over the pack with me. And I guess she is. She and I have developed a language of
sorts. We shared headspace together long enough that we both usually know what the other is thinking
but we have found ways to communicate when we don’t.
I watch my beautiful daughter grow. And on her 10th birthday. I’m there to see her get her wolf. The
party had been wonderful, Calista had planned the party at Clint and Cara’s house. She invited Cara’s
friends
and even Liam was in attendance. Rik was at some event for Alphas that recently got their wolves, so
he
wasn’t in attendance. What I, nor anyone else was expecting was that Artemis would have the golden
eyes of a Guardian.
When Artemis pushed forward, everyone, including me, gasped. I don’t know if this is something that
has ever happened before. Donovan recovered first, greeting his daughter and telling her how much he
loves
her. Liam was second, asking her if she’d like to go for a run after her shift. I’m glad he’s willing to do
that for her. Since Andra and I aren’t there, and Donovan is unable, having a friend who can also look
after her on her first run is the next best thing.
I watch that night as she shifts for the first time. Donovan shifts for the first time since his injury. I can
tell it’s extremely painful for both of them, but to their credit, no one says a word. After the shift,
Donovan pulls himself over to Cara and lays beside her as she shifts. Andra is laying on her other side,
lending her
support as well. Calista, Anders and Liam are there to encourage her and help guide her through her
first shift. As soon as she shifts, Andra howls her pleasure at our beautiful daughter, and I feel tears in
my
eyes.
Liam shifts into Cyran and takes Artemis on her first run. Anders helps Clint shift back and then helps
him into his wheelchair.
“Have you ever heard of this happening before?” Clint asks Anders and Cali when they are back inside
and he has gotten dressed.
“No. Did you ever find that book you were looking for?”
What book?
“No. I searched everywhere I knew to search after we realized that Lily,” his voice breaks for a moment
before he recovers, “when we first realized Lily was immune to wolfsbane. Then, when I became
immune after our mating, I searched again, but never found it.”
