Erondale Chapter 28
I walk around to the desk and take a seat, silently watching the witch. When Reginald enters, I wave my hand in the direction of the chairs for him to sit. He and Katrina sit down next to each other. Reginald slightly moves his chair away from her. I suppress the laughter. We don’t trust witches, obviously.“Alright, Katrina. What is this promise that you speak of?” I ask.“When you were just a toddler, I was summoned by your father.” She starts.That surprises me but I keep my face neutral so that she’ll continue.“The night of your coronation I am to give you this potion.” She holds up a bottle of purple liquid. “You need to drink this, in the next fifteen minutes, or it will be too late.”I tilt my head in question. What is this? Does she really think that I am going to drink some random potion? No matter what, though, my interest is piqued.“What is it for? And, why did he summon you?”“You are powerful.” She answers simply, like I should already know this.What? I scrunch my eyes

I’m not sure how long I’ve been out but I wake up to sunlight shining through the window. I groan. It feels like I’ve been dropped off a bridge several times over. I try to sit up but I feel lightheaded and lay back down.“Easy there, Chris.” Reginald says.He walks over with a bowl of water and places it on the table. Reaching around the table, he pulls out the decanter pouring two glasses before he comes back to me.“You’re going to need this.” He says.”I know that I do.”“Okay, why?”He chuckles. “Well, you’ve been out for about a day in a half.”My eyes widen. “Rae?”He frowns. “Still in her coma. No improvement though Toby has been with her the whole time.”I nod. So, there is something going on there.“You’ve got visitors.” He says as he walks out.Wow. He doesn’t even give me time to recuperate even though I can tell that he is relieved. Before I have time to sit up, I hear the door open.I open my eyes to see Preston standing over me with a smile.“Welcome back to the living,

Rae’s POVI’m not sure what happened after I opened my eyes at the Lake. Toby looked at me strangely as did Erin. Before I could figure it out, Toby took off running. The struggle to keep my eyes open was real. I managed to stay awake long enough to hear someone call Toby ‘young alpha’. What does that mean?I lost consciousness again. This time I know what is happening. I wander around in the dark, for I don’t know how long, looking for the lady that I talked to last time. However, she doesn’t come this time.This time, I wander into a chilly place. The air is so cold, my skin is turning blue and goosebumps are rising up all over my flesh. I stop moving for a second as I feel that something is seriously wrong. Am I actually dead this time? I shudder at that thought.I take a deep breath. I need to find a way out of the darkness and into the light. Soon, I find myself at a river. However, the river doesn’t look like a good river. There’s a man in a hood standing there. Don’t ask me how

Mama turns around and offers me a bright smile. “Rae. I’m so glad that you’re okay. I still just can’t believe it. Are you ready to stand up and walk?” She asks.I hesitate for a second and evaluate my body. “I think so.”She smiles again, “Okay, good, let’s get you standing. Oh! I can’t wait to tell your brother! He’s been so worried about you.”She comes over to my bed and start moving my hair away from my face. Once she was satisfied, she offered me a small smile.“Of course, he wanted to be here for you but he had to take care of the horses.” She said as if I wouldn’t understand.“He isn’t the only one worried. Did you know that Toby has been with you almost every day?”Every day? Did she say Toby? Surely, she is mistaken as he has much bigger things to worry about.“Toby?” I ask to confirm my feelings.“Yes.” She looks at me for a second, like she wants to say something, and shakes her head. “Well, you had lots of people come to see how you were. Even Chris.” She says hesitantly.
Erondale Chapter 32
I wake up to a butterfly feeling on my face. The tingles feel so nice that I feel myself slowly leanding towards it. Slowly opening my eyes, I see a pair of beautiful blues that I would recognize from anywhere.He is pushing the hair off of my forehead. Toby. I don’t know why but I feel very comfortable and content seeing him here and the smile that he gives me, upon seeing my eyes open, makes my heart flutter. How embarrassing.“Hey! How are you feeling?” He asks me quietly.I assess the situation. I feel a little stronger than I did the last time I was awake. A little tired, and still a lot sore, but I’m not going to admit that to him. For some reason, it feels like it would just hurt him.“I’m feeling better.” I tell him.He smiles again. “That’s good.” He runs his finger down my face very carefully. I try to suppress a shiver, at the tingling feeling, but know I failed when his smile widens. “You had us pretty scared there.”“I’m sorry.” I’m embarrassed. I can’t believe that all o
Erondale Chapter 33
Toby’s POV I have to get out of here. I need to shift and I need to shift fast. I knew that I needed to tell her about Chris before it was too late and I was just prepared to do that. Rae has loved him her entire life. I didn’t want to be the one to tell her but she should not have found out that way. Chris’ love, future Queen, is a horrible person. How can he choose someone like her? At first, I thought that she was full of herself. However, Chris never stopped her craziness and that only confirmed it for me. Now, I had the pleasure of feeling Rae’s intense heartbreak. I could feel her sadness, through our bond, before I left. It hurt me too. My mind pauses as I shift into my massive wolf. Will Rae accept us? Kit hasn’t spoken to me for the last few years. He’s just been hiding in the background of my mind. I’m not sure what his problem has been or why he is so silent. Cian, my wolf, is about four feet tall which is kind of short for our kind. But he makes up for it in strength an

Rae’s POVI watch as Tobias leaves. As soon as I can no longer see his back, I break down. My heart hurts so bad. I just want to go home. Some part of me held hope. I held onto a ridiculous hope that I could be with Chris. Of course, he needs a princess to be his queen.I don’t care that I just woke up and can barely walk. I grab my stuff, to prepare to go home, and notice that I don’t have anything to wear. Shrugging it off, I walk out the doors and head home.I must’ve been lost in my head, or something, because I arrive at my house sooner than I thought possible. I bust through the door and stop in my tracks when I see Talon and Katy lip locked on the couch.Um. Hello? Other people live here!! I clear my throat to catch their attention and Katy jumps off the couch like her hide was on fire. I hide my smile behind my hand and look over at my brother.“Rae! What are you doing out of the hospital?” Talon asks.“I’m coming home.” I reply, with a slight duh to my tone.He furrows his b
Erondale Chapter 35
Rae’s POVUgh!!! The nerve of him! How dare he show up here acting like the last few years haven’t happened. What did he think was going to happen? That I would just willingly open my doors to him? No, nope. He’s going to have to order me to let me in before I ever do that. The nerve of him to ask me on a walk! Doesn’t he have a fiancee? Shouldn’t he be asking her on those walks instead of reminding me of what I can not have!? I finally just got my head on straight from that horrible encounter. Now my heart aches even harder.I pace around my living room trying to release all the pent up anger. He looked at me like he used to. I really wish that I could trust it to be true. I don’t. I don’t have a clue to why he decided to show up at my door. What would there be to talk about any way? My near death? I doubt it. I guess he could’ve wanted to talk about the murders. I feel guilty for a second before I realize he would’ve just asked to come in.He’s lucky that Talon left to go train one
