RAFAEL
The meeting with the Pack elders was scheduled for today. This morning, precisely.
Last night had been brutal. I was back to those sleepless nights, tossing and turning in bed, unable to find rest. It felt like I was losing it again. My thoughts kept narrowing to one thing. No, one f*****g person.
Lila. That name.
That night with her was unlike any other in my life. I had slept, really slept, for the first time in years. It was a deep, peaceful kind of rest. The kind I hadn't known I was craving until I found it.
But last night, all I had were restless thoughts of her. My mind would not quiet. So, I did what I always did when I needed to escape, took a walk around the pack. The rhythmic sound of my boots against the ground was the only thing that kept me grounded.
A knock on
