Chapter 104
Cameron
I feel like a human again after chewing on some root Nana gave me. Never ever am I going through that again.
"Better?" Lenora asks, rubbing my back.
"Yes. Fuck. It tasted rotten, like a fucking corpse. I never want to experience that ever again." I lean my head back against the log and stare at the canvas ceiling of the tent. My stomach is still doing slow flips.
"Hmmmn." She keeps rubbing my back, her palm warm through my shirt.
Then I hear it. Drums. And voices. Cheering. Celebrating.
"What's going on out there?" I ask.
"They're happy, you know." She moves, settling onto my lap like she belongs there. Like she's always belonged there.
"Are they?" I wrap my arms around her waist. She's warm. Solid. Real.
"Yeah. Their alpha is a strong leader." She loops her arms around my shoulders, her fingers playing with the hair at the nape of my neck. "You should head out soon."
"You do realize I haven't slept, right?"
