“Are—are you going to be okay?”

I swallow hard. “Yeah, kiddo, I’m gonna be okay. And you’ll be okay too.”

The door creaks open again.

Savannah freezes in the doorway when she sees all of us already in bed, but I beckon her in.

“I can go,” she says. She still pads her way to the bed.

I’m not gonna turn any of my siblings away on the last night I’m going to be living with them.

“Hell no,” I say.

“Is there space?”

“Of course there’s space, we’ve just gotta cuddle,” I say, shifting so Eli and Daisy are under my arms.

Savannah settles in next to Eli, throwing her arm across his back.

“I love you guys,” I say, soaking in their warmth.

Surrounded by all of my siblings, the room feels less cold and foreign.

My next inhale is a little unsteady, despite my best attempts at breathing normally. As I close my eyes, a single tear drifts down.

CHAPTER 15

Reyna

“I’ve gotta go, Daisy,” I murmur, trying to get out of bed.

She lets out a little groan in her sleep, clinging tighter to me. I just flop back into bed. I’ll give her a minute to move on her own before I peel myself out of her hold.

She’s currently clinging to me like a spider monkey. It would be adorable, except for the fact I’ve got to get ready and I’m running out of time.

The blinds are drawn, so the room is still pretty dark, even though the sun rose a few hours ago. I’m used to sleeping through the day, so the light wasn’t what woke me up.

It was remembering that, now that the sun is up, my time with my family has ended.

Most twenty-four years olds would’ve probably already tried moving out by now.

Not me.

Not until now.

I swallow hard, scrubbing a hand over my face and trying to get rid of the lingering exhaustion that seems to have sunk deep into my bones.

Now I’m moving in with a whole pack of Northside alphas.

Daisy sighs in her sleep before rolling over and clinging to Savannah’s back.

I blow out a quick sigh of relief before grabbing my phone and bag before slipping out of the room.

10:07AM.

Hopefully I have enough time to shower and get ready before the Graylock pack comes and picks me up. Like hell am I going to face a pack full of Northside alphas without my armor on.

And by armor I mean makeup.
