Chapter 50

It wasn't working very well. It didn't help that I could feel the mental nudge of someone trying to get through my mental barrier. I did my best to ignore the person. My chest felt heavy. Despite my words to Jason I don't think I could really leave my old family again, let alone my new one.

I squeezed my eyes shut. "Focus Dena," I gasped to myself. "Breathe. In and out. In and out."

I tried rocking back and forth, which actually helped a little. Once I could breathe regularly again my head cleared. My words to Jason were mostly empty. I was just hurt and betrayed. I erected myself and let out a deep breath. I needed a few days away from Jason and everyone else here. I'll go the West Sun pack and handle the situation there. I'd use the time to clear my head and reevaluate everything before I saw Jason again.
