Chapter 41

Perrin

It was a rare day indeed when my father chose to forgo Charlie’s chauffeur services and to drive his own car.

Personally, I never really understood the rush of driving; the twins loved their motorcycles. I enjoyed the quiet backseat and my own thoughts.

But not this morning. And my father apparently shared the same love of the road that my best friend and Beta did, as he was on pace to put in record speed on the way to the infirmary. I grinned, thinking of the confused and slightly terrified look on Charlie’s face as we sped out of the pack house parking lot.

We made our way inside, greeting Lorrie and heading back. To my surprise, we met Jennivah in the hall prior to racing Jesamine’s suite.

“Good morning Alpha, Alpha Select,” she said.

“Good morning, Ascended Jennivah,” my father said in return with equal formality. “Is my wife here?”

Jennivah blinked. “I’m sorry, Alpha. I thought she was with you.”

“Why would she be with me?” my father said. “She’s always here first thing.”
