Chapter 26: (Don’t) Hold Your Breath

“I thought all shifters knew how to spar?” sighed Jamie, dodging another punch while Valerie snarled and tried to kick her in the ribs, only for Jamie to catch her leg then hold it, making her wobble.

“We get—busy! It’s been a while, alright?!”

With a growl, Valerie tore her leg free, Jamie letting her stumble a few steps away before getting back into a stance. Jamie held her palms out and then started to catch her punches.

Telling Valerie everything she had discovered about Andy and the Burroughs had been freeing and relieving. There was someone in the pack who believed her and someone who was willing to help her.

The unfortunate side effect of that was that Valerie was now also filled with a need for murder and just about to have a conniption, hence the sparring.

Hopefully, they could burn out some of that rage she was feeling before Andy passed by and she tried to shank him.
