Your Fault

[Denali’s POV]

I wake to find Naomi sitting beside me, my hand in hers. She looks exhausted, and I immediately feel a flare of guilt. Of course she would be after everything Rosco and I recently went through. Even if she wasn’t directly involved, she was still affected, as were Hamilton and the rest of Crystal Fang.

Slowly, I move my fingers in hopes of not startling her, as she looks deep in thought, and the minute I do, her eyes come to rest on me.

“Denali!” She gasps, relief flooding her beautiful features. “You’re awake! How are you feeling, darling?”

How was I feeling? Of course, I was fine. If anyone was in pain or suffering, it would be Rosco, since he took the brunt of the attack back at the warehouse.

“Rosco,” I whisper, beginning to look around only to find that he is nowhere to be seen. “Where…”

“He had some business to attend to,” Naomi explains. “He should be returning shortly.”
