Turn it off!

NALEDI’S POV

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

As I prepared for my day, I couldn’t help the unease and outright irritation that lived within me. It seemed like I was overly sensitive, and for some reason, everything was heightened.

For instance, I could hear the men fighting in the field, as well as the clash of plates from multiple buildings. My senses were having a field day. Every one of them were out to play.

And boy did it make me antsy.

I headed out of my quarters, already irritated at Korah for being late. Not that it was that late, seeing we still had a solid fifty minutes before we had to take off, but I just wasn’t in the mood.

Just while I was about to cross the door, Korah appeared, looking wide eyed. “My lady!” She said in a very enthusiastic voice.

She was loud. Too loud.

“I think we should take the other way. House maintenance is ongoing and the Alpha demanded we go the other way.”
