CHAPTER 98.   The Point (MR – 23)

  ~ CARA ~

  I woke to my phone buzzing and sat bolt upright. The room was mostly dim because the curtains were pulled. But there was a thin line of bright sunlight glaring through where Rig hadn’t been able to close them properly after himself.

  Right? That was real… right?

  I breathed for a minute, scanning back through my memories of the past two days. It was all so surreal still. But it was true… wasn’t it?

  I picked up my phone and frowned.

  BABE, SOMETHING’S WRONG WITH YOUR CAT.

  YOU NEED TO COME OVER. NOW.

  Rig had added all the pack’s numbers to my phone the other night after it had all come out. This message arrived from Mack’s phone, but it sounded like Rig.

  Or did they all just sound the same?

  Why would Mack call me babe?

  But Rig would have called Purrkins ‘Beans’, wouldn’t he?

  My head spun and my heart was beating too fast. I had class in thirty minutes, but I didn’t care.
