Chapter 0206
Swimming in the pool feels really good. Clint takes it slow with me, helpingto stretch muscles that haven’t been used in too many years. Cara lapsover and over. I’m reminded of one of those Avengers movies Dad was able to get for us when we were in the cabin, the guy on the track saying “on your left*. | have a whole new appreciation and aggravation for that phrase now.
When we're done, my muscles are sore but it’s a good sore. ‘Clint was right, | feel stronger.’ Alessia says to me.
| hop out of the pool, Cara bringinga towel. I’m glad Alessia feels stronger because I’m exhausted. Cara sits down next to me as Clint rolls his wheelchair
over. “How are you feeling?” He asks me.
“Alessia says she’s feeling stronger, but I’m exhausted.” | say honestly. Cara nods her head. “Yep, that sounds familiar. It definitely takes a toll on you for her to get stronger, but it’s worth it.”
Clint is looking atthoughtfully. “Why don’t we make sandwiches around here. today and you can see the packhouse tomorrow. | promised Liam | wouldn’t overdo it with you and | keep my promises.” That sounds wonderful to me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOver lunch, Cara tellsabout her conversation with Ailduin and that he is coming to visit next weekend. He’s excited to see me and will be bringing his son, Aolis, with him to begin recording my story for their Guardian Chronicles.
Clint tellsabout the strengths of the Bellona line, including enhanced healing. “It explains how Alessia was able to heal you for so long and why your scars aren’t more prevalent.” He says.
“They seem pretty prevalent to me.” | say, looking down at my arms and all the old wounds that are on them. “But imagine what you would look like if you didn’t have Alessia’s healing power.”
“Dad's right.” Cara jump’s in. “Your wounds could be much worse, could have gotten infected, and who knows what else, given the frequency you were being fed on.”
| hadn't given it much consideration. | was so worried about how awful they looked that | didn’t think about how lucky | was to have gotten away with only scarring and nothing worse.
TIS ROHOS ‘Im sorry | couldn’t do more.” Alessia says to me. “You did so much. I’m thankful for what you did do.”
‘| think there is more that | can do once we shift. | don’t think I'll be able to take them away, but | think | might be able to make them less noticeable.’
‘Don’t overdo it either. I’m just glad we’re both getting stronger and healthier.’
“So, Angel, when’s the last tyou ran?” Clint asks me.
“Ran, like for fun or exercise, or for fear of being caught?” | ask.
“Exercise.” Clint clarifies.
“Uh, well, never. That wasn’t something that dad did for training. We mostly just sparred, and he taughthow to fight.”
He nods. “Fighting is important but so is endurance. | think tomorrow I’ll have you run. Cara can still run for another month or so, but she has a higher endurance than you, at least for now. We'll still take it slow with you.”
After lunch, | help clean up. I’m tired and ready to lay down before going shopping with Liam this afternoon. Cara offers to drive me hand we have an easy conversation about being a Luna, her pregnancy, due date and general preparations around the baby.
“Do you wantto cin with you?” She asks when we arrive.
“No, | know where I’m going. Thanks. I'll see you tomorrow.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Can't wait!” She says. | wave as she pulls away.
As | turn to the packhouse, the overwhelming scent of the forest hits my nose. MATE, MATE, MATE! Alessia says, jumping up and down excitedly in my head.
“Our mate is here?’ | ask her.
‘Yes! Hurry, | want to see him.’ She says and | rush inside.
It's the scent of blood that hasstopping short. It’s mixed with my mate’s scent. Is my mate injured? | take a hesitant step into the kitchen and that’s when | see him. Liam. Liam is my mate, but he’s covered in blood. Blood that isn’t his.
Every horrific memory of the feeding room comes crashing down on me. Alessia is whining in my head, not understanding why our mate would be covered in blood.
| can’t breathe. I'm trying to take in air, but my lungs won’t work. | duck behind a wall, staying out of sight as | watch Liam head upstairs to his room. ‘He’s a
+15 BONDS monster Alessia. | told you. | told you we shouldn't trust him.*
She’s whimpering, wanting her mate, but also afraid of what she saw. ‘We have. to get out of here. | can’t do it again Alessia. | can't live like that again.”
