Lilith POV
Lilith woke up with no intention of doing anything useful.
She lay there for a while staring at the ceiling. Listening to the estate wake up around her. Distant sounds. Footsteps in the corridor. Somewhere below the familiar clatter of Agnes in the kitchen.
She did not move for a long time.
But eventually she got up.
Not because she wanted to. Just because lying there was starting to feel worse than getting up.
She pulled the blanket around her shoulders and moved to the window.
Sat down on the window seat.
And looked out.
The pack training ground stretched out below her. Already busy even this early. Warriors running drills in two lines.....moving in formation, breaking apart, coming back together. Their breath misting in the cold morning air. A trainer at the far end calling instructions she could not hear through the glass.
