Capítulo 456: The Mother Tree

Laz finally made it back to the room. Jill was there, pacing around while waiting along with Ruth and Shelby who were trying to calm her down. The werewolves were over by themselves and everyone else was resting. After the initial incident with Dave attacking Genevieve in disguise and then the departure of Laz, no one else had come to check on them nor tell them what was happening.

That was almost 8 hours ago now and those who weren't idiots were very worried about the situation.

Seeing Laz return safe and sound elicited an excited gasp from Jill who then ran and jumped on him before hugging him, not worried about how much she weighted or knocking him over. While she wouldn't admit it, he was her source of light and the only reason for her to go on living. If he was to be killed, she would follow him as soon as she could.

Laz knew this and it pained him. His hope was that one day he could move on from her being so dependent on him, but he knew she needed time.
