Chapter 104

'CAT. PAY ATTENTION.'

Loushka's voice in my mind made me jolt awake, and more than one Council member frowned.

'Thanks.' I thought, then struggled to catch up with the conversation until Loushka hissed some points. Once again, I felt supremely grateful that the Council Chambers were next to an external wall. On the other side of the wall sat Loushka, listening to the conversation via my mind; helping me to keep up with it and respond appropriately. I always hated meetings on Earth. Normally Alek and Sabyn would attend these meetings, but the guys left early this morning to go investigate an attack on a village, so I had to step in.

The two weeks after Alek woke had been the busiest of my life, even compared to the month's training prior to the ball.
