"You can see...through them? The wolves who are...who shift? How is any of this possible?"
Jade and Lee lay together on a spare bed in the church, while I sat in a chair next to them as a watchful guardian, much like Archer had done to me a little more than a month ago in the cabin. Lee snored softly with his head cradled in his sister's lap, his head wrapped in bandages that were probably due for a change soon. Jade rested her back against the wall while I glided a brush through her damp hair. She'd bathed with one hand clinging to me all the while, and she hadn't yet released me. Not that I minded. Not in the least.
Sasha had fallen asleep on my bed in the room next door. I didn't have the heart to wake her. Baba rested down the hall, and when he'd set his sights on Jade and Lee, he began to weep. It had hurt, but I'd tried not to let it show. I was glad they were back too.
