Charis
I woke up with a start, staring blankly at the wall opposite me, bathed with the soft light from the moon, trying to remember where I was.
It took me a moment before I realised this was Rhett's pack house.
Stretching, I turned towards the soft glow from the bedside lamp and saw a tray of snacks, slices of banana bread, and a cup of chamomile tea that was now cold. Rising slowly from the bed, I noticed it was completely dark outside and wondered how long I'd been asleep.
The last thing I remembered was curling under the sheets, waiting for Slater to bring me food. I couldn't remember falling asleep at all.
I left my bedroom and stepped into the corridor, noting how quiet the pack house was. Back at Crestborne, on evenings like this, especially with the full moon just a few days away, the atmosphere would be chaotic with preparations for the coming Full Moon celebration everywhere.
