Even with my considerably fast wolf healing, it took a week for Callum to let me return to the room where I had been staying before. I suspect it was because we were having a good time talking and theorizing, but he would never admit it. He said it was because I needed to heal.
I hadn't seen or heard of Harlan since that night, and when I asked Callum about it, he said, "Harlan left the pack house and hasn't come back. None of us know why. It is extremely like him." This only made me worry more.
Selene had visited me as well, and when I asked her, she said, "He does this sometimes. He often feels overwhelmed and needs some time for himself. He'll come back, he just needs space."
So I decided I would give it to him, the time that he needed.
"Thank you for letting me stay here, Selene," I said as she escorted me back to the room I was using, the one that was close to hers.
