Eric- Knowing there was no way I could fall asleep, I left Leilani alone in bed. Quietly exiting the room, I gently shut the door. With everything going on, I hadn’t even thought about how tired she must be. Brook was right though, I felt like I had enough energy to spare. Returning to the dining room, I found everyone still cleaning up the mess. Pitching in where I could, we quickly finished cleaning the table and getting the dishes loaded up in the dishwasher. Everyone except Archer wanted to go see Bailey, so I showed Archer the other room he could stay in. After telling him to make himself at home, I left to follow everyone to Tate and Brook’s place. Thankfully I caught up with them before Jason met his granddaughter because I wanted to be there when he did. “Thank you for staying with her.” Brook was telling the babysitter at the door when I arrived. “It really is no problem, she is absolutely adorable and a joy to be around. Feel free to let me know anytime you need someone

Eric-On the way to see the pack doctor, I started to worry about my parents. Mostly I wondered why I hadn’t paid closer attention to the fact that something was seriously wrong with them. I had just assumed that they were turning into lousy parents due to not getting things their way.When we reached the medical wing of the packhouse, I was thankful to run right into Kate as she came out of another room. She gave me her usual friendly smile as she walked towards us. Meeting halfway, I quickly explained what was going on and what Archer had mentioned about what was possibly wrong with them.“Oh, that isn’t good at all.” Kate showed concern as she looked at my parents.So far, my parents had both seemed to comply with getting them here, until suddenly my father just walked away without a word. I attempted to stop him, but Kate grabbed my arm. When I looked at her, she had her attention on my mother.“Your mother is still here, if they have the same thing going on with them, I can exami

Eric-“What is it?” Tate asked, moving forward to stand in front of Kate.“There are high levels of venom in her system, which means she was either recently bit or had multiple bites. With a physical examination, I will be able to find out for sure. That isn’t the bad news though, that is the good news.” Kate stopped talking, so I immediately thought she was done with her explanation.“How is that good news?” I demanded, moving forward to stand next to Tate and leave my mother in Brook’s care.“It is good news because that means I know what is wrong and I also know how to treat it. Now before I tell you the bad news, I would like to suggest you take a seat.” Kate motioned to the chairs in the room with her hand.There was no way I was budging, and it didn’t seem as if Tate had any plans to do so either. I for one didn’t care what the bad news was, the last thing I felt like doing was sitting. I felt as if I was the one about to go crazy with waiting for her to spit it out.“Okay, have

Leilani-I wasn’t sure how long I sat there holding him. All I knew was the sun was starting to go down and my right leg was falling asleep. It wasn’t that I minded though since I was going to do whatever I had to as long as it helped Eric.“You didn’t have to come out here.” Eric spoke.This had been the first time he had talked since I had arrived. He still sounded upset, although he seemed to have stopped crying. His voice was hoarse and cracked a bit, which was expected with how long he has been like this.“I wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else.” I told him honestly.Continuing to run my fingers through his hair, I didn’t feel the need to speak. If he wanted to tell me what was wrong, then I would listen, but I wasn’t going to pry. It was hard not to ask what had hurt him to this degree.His lack of speaking made me think he still wasn’t ready, which was okay. Even though my leg was starting to hurt, I had no problem staying here. Thinking that maybe if I just readjusted myse

Eric-Not wanting to discuss it in front of Kate, we waited until she left. From the look Tate was giving me, I was pretty sure he was on the same page that I was. The moment Kate walked away, I ushered Tate and Leilani into the room with Brook and our mother.“What do you think?” I asked Tate, as my eyes wandered to my mother who was still crying, as she had been before I left.“You heard her man, this will be a huge risk. I don’t think it should be one we take lightly. I have seen what losing a wolf has done to someone though. The question is, is it even possible?” Tate asked.“I don’t know, but there is only one way to find out. We need to contact Delilah and when Jarod gets here, maybe we can figure it out. I for one want to do everything I can to help. If we had known something was wrong, maybe we could have stopped this from happening.” I turned to Tate, hoping he was just as willing to do whatever it took.“You know I don’t like any of that magic nonsense. It is bad enough I mu

Leilani-“What do you mean by factors?” I asked, not feeling the same delight Eric was feeling.Until we knew more, I didn’t think we needed to get ahead of ourselves and think we could solve their problems. From everything I have been hearing, I wondered if maybe I had jumped the gun. I was glad Eric was feeling better, but I was growing more cautious about using magic.Tate seemed to be opposed to it, and so did the pack doctor. What if what they said was true and it caused more problems. I could already feel the guilt ease in, at thinking I could become the reason something terrible happens to their parents.“Well, it depends on what happened for them to lose their wolf. If they are willing to do it since I know most wolves aren’t too keen on our kind nowadays. We can’t force an unwilling wolf to participate in magic. It will also depend on if the wolf is already dead or not.” Delilah explained.Eric quickly explained what happened, and now he seemed less excited about the prospect

Leilani-The next morning, believe I woke up before anyone else. Looking outside I noticed the moon was still peeking through the window. Not wanting to wake Eric, I gently unwrapped his arms from around me.Careful not to make any noise or sudden movements, I eased out of bed. When my feet hit the floor, I tiptoed out of the room. My brain was in a fog this morning, more than likely from what Delilah had told me.Not sure what to do, I thought maybe it was a good idea to go for a walk outside. I would have to go barefoot though since most of my stuff was still in the room Archer was now in. Just needing to get some fresh air, I silently made my way outside.“Where are you running off to?” I heard Tate’s voice the moment I stepped outside.Looking in the direction of his voice, I saw he was walking towards me from the direction of the trees. Softly closing the door, I made my way in his direction, not wanting my voice to carry inside and wake anyone up.“I just felt like I needed to g

Leilani- I wasn’t sure how long we ran, but when the sun started to rise, I knew we would need to return soon. Slowing my pace, the boys did as well until we all came to a complete stop. It was almost as if I could feel their emotions in this form because I could sense they also knew it was time to head back. Wanting to run back, I turned to head in the opposite direction we had been running. Thankfully they joined me, considering I had figured they would have shifted back right there. The run back was just as delightful other than the fact it didn’t last nearly as long as I thought it would. When we reached the yard of the packhouse, I realized I didn’t know how to shift back. Eric and Tate shifted with ease back into their human form and even Archer joined us shortly later, already in his human form. I tried to think of all my lessons from class but couldn’t remember if it had been covered in a lesson. “I know you don’t want to shift back, but we need to get back inside before a
