Chapter 287

• Anna showered and waited in their room with Alec who was still asleep through it all. She paced the room and wanted to pull out her hair—how could this have happened? How could she have been so foolish? What if there were more people by and she didn’t do a good enough job to listen?
• How come she didn’t hear them? Moments before Cordelia allowed her the power, she sat and listened to the quiet forest. She heard the animals asleep and the peace of the land—not one guard that close could be heard. No footsteps… nothing.
• Her wolf was still silent inside her. Perhaps she was ashamed of Anna for what she did. Or did she drain her wolf? Anna was too nervous to even reach out to her incase it came with a lecture she knew she deserved.
