Making A Comeback

Alina POV

Last night was the most sleepless night I've experienced in a long while. The bed felt cold and empty without Xavier next to me. I tossed and turned all night, not getting more than an hour worth of sleep, giving up once I heard the chirping of birds outside the window and stared mindlessly at the ceiling.

I wonder if Colton is awake. He’s usually charging into the room by now. A mischievous idea pops into my head. I mind-link Reece, who’s up and about at this time, to check for me. He responds back telling me he’s still in his room, out like a baby. He must have been really wiped out, the poor guy. I mind-link the rest of the pack and let them know training is canceled for the day and call for reinforcements.

Fifteen minutes later, what’s left of 'The A Team' had assembled, along with Jace and Reece, our honorary members. I lay out the plan to them, gathering supplies and setting everything up.
