[Serenity’s POV]
“Do you think Uncle William is okay?”
I stare up into Maverick’s dark eyes while his arms tighten around me, pulling me closer to try to comfort the anxiety that I’m feeling.
Two days had already passed since Uncle William went back to Crystal Fang, and even though there was no word on how he was, there was also no word that something happened, which in the end was a good sign, but I just couldn’t seem to calm down no matter how many times I told myself that everything was going to be okay.
Was this feeling of foreboding only because of Uncle William, or did it also include the battle that we would be heading out for tomorrow?
Of course, I have full faith in my pack, my family, and my family’s packs, but I was still nervous because the thought of losing even a single person was eating away at me, especially since I was the reason all of this was happening.
“Hey,” Maverick murmurs, gently grabbing my chin and making me look at him. “Listen to me.”
