Kapitel 82: Chapter 82

　　I'm having trouble sleeping. I slip out of Magnus' embrace and take a seat on the balcony. I can't get my mind off seeing Alec tomorrow. I should be more concerned about Alpha Bennet and the witches' fate. My inner wolf is crying to be let out. Perhaps going for a run will help. Shifting, I try not to wake Reaper. I leap from the balcony and course my way through the woods of Shadow Crest.

　　My mind thinks of both Magnus and Alec. The notion of them both sends warm sparks through my body. Damn mate and blood flame bond! I can't get them out of my head. I can see the lake ahead of me. At this hour of the night, it would be terribly cold. I rush up the slope at lightning speed and plunge into the lake. The ice-cold water overpowers me, but in a good way, as it cleanses my mind of the two men I want to be with.
