POV: Daina
Dason departed days ago.
It seemed like a gloomy fog had descended over the group, particularly Jeric.
He looked to have aged quickly.
I texted Dason, hoping for a response about my uncle.
"Dason! When you see this, text me. "
"Alice is a cunning she-wolf. Whatever occurred was part of her strategy to drive you away. Please return soon. We're concerned."
"Dason?"
"What's wrong?"
I reread all my mails to Dason.
Had Dason died? She'd been gone for days.
She was female.
Dason's whereabouts were unknown.
Restless, I asked Jeric if we could do more.
I rang his study's doorbell.
Enter.
Internally, Jeric spoke.
When I opened the door, he was brooding about pack issues.
Jeric has been in his studies since Dason departed.
From the dark bags under his eyes, I could tell he hadn't slept in a while.
We knew he was doing this to stave off melancholy.
"Dason contacted you, Jeric?
"He sighed.
Maybe she answered when she calmed down.
