Chapter 38

• Word got out fast that I was looking to find ways to keep busy. I found myself helping weed garden beds and chase kids around. I read books to a blind shifter, learned how to cook chili in a huge pot, and told ghost stories around a campfire.
• Best of all, I finally found my sense of direction. I could make it to the lake and back by myself and managed to keep my bearings all over camp. A few times, I found myself at Alec’s door, but he was never home. Nobody seemed to know where he was, but any time I asked, he was simply,away. It was probably better that way. While I wanted to ask him for more details about his plan to help break my mating bond, it wasn’t going to solve my wolf problem.
• The days bled into night and I’d collapse on my cot, exhausted. My mind didn’t race, I didn’t worry, I didn’t overthink anything. I was too tired to wonder.
