Chapter 24: Chapter 24

Flora’s P.O.V

Garrick didn’t say anything but he put his hand on the small of my back as he led me deeper into the pack house and down a flight of steps into a large all-white room with several beds inside, some of which were occupied, the white sheets stained red.

The pack house was packed with people tonight, but they weren’t running around in awe or making trouble. Everyone was huddled together with the remaining members of their family that wasn't in the battlefield, giving and receiving strength from the bonds they shared. Some had volunteered to help while others looked too scared to do anything but huddle together in the corners.

“Flora!” There was relief in Jessica’s voice as the older healer came over to me. Her naturally wavy bronze hair was tied up into a tight bun at the top of her head and the teal coloured dress she had on had dark brown patches of dried blood in them. “I’m so glad you’re here! Come on, we need as much help as we can get.”
