Helanie:
Norman kept glaring at me, barely turning in his seat.
I knew he was watching me, waiting for me to say something.
"I only heard a howl," I replied, curious about how I got out of the restraints. "Now tell me, what happened there?"
He seemed to space out for a moment before sighing and answering my question. "You snapped the belt off your wrist."
I did?
I might have been suspicious if the other brothers had said that because they always tried to make me feel good. But Norman wouldn’t do that.
So I took it as the truth.
"Oh!" I shrugged, acting like it was nothing—only because I wanted to hide what I had heard in my head.
My wolf woke up. She spoke to me. And then she sang a song!
That song really confused me. I was sure I had heard it before, but where?
"Helanie! Are you sure you only heard a howl?" he asked, looking doubtful.
"Yeah, I only heard a howl and then passed out. It’s weird because I don’t even remember getting myself out of that belt." That part wasn’t a lie. I honestly didn’t remember any of it.
"Hm!" Norman still didn’t seem convinced. "At least your annoying wolf isn’t dead."
I groaned and frowned at his back for taunting my wolf, who wasn’t even fully awake yet. Norman seemed to have an issue with me for no reason.
"Let’s drop you home. You have work in the morning," he said as he sat up straight and started the engine. He handed me the food bag, and I couldn’t help but keep munching on the nuggets.
He kept extending his hand back without looking, wiggling his fingers impatiently. I rolled my eyes every time I placed a nugget or fries between his fingers.
After he dropped me home, I ran straight to my room and called Lamar, asking about Gavin.
"He’s much better. I think he’ll transition tomorrow. His mom came today—she was so happy and sent you her love too," Lamar said all in one breath. I could hear a movie playing in the background, so the boys were doing great together. fгeewebnovёl.com
The thing about Lamar was that he never really took things seriously, especially when it was about him. He always told me to stand up for myself, but he didn’t really do it for himself. He was also a really good friend to everyone. When someone was in need—and I don’t just mean needing a dick—he would be there.
"That’s great. I’m really glad we found him in time," I sighed, sinking into my bed.
"Helanie, Sage said the Lycan must have seen the cameras. Does that mean he knows we put them there? What if he comes after us?" There was a hint of worry in Lamar’s voice. And I knew why.
He had been worried about me the whole day since I stayed in the rogue community, and I was closer to the Lycan than anyone else.
"Don’t worry about it. The Lycan doesn’t know. I’m pretty sure some other monster did it," I said, but I could tell Lamar had groaned on the other side—he didn’t believe me.
