Chương 13: Chapter 13

Cal

Cal was afraid to face Derek.He’d accepted that fact after a while.The cat was relaxing and letting Cal be more conscious now,and he had some hope that it would let him out soon.

He realized he wanted to keep shifting back and forth again,like he once had.He wasn’t sure how…sustainable that idea would be,because he knew that the morphine was now gone from his system and the things he’d been hiding from would return into his mind as soon as he was in full control.

The cat had been a buffer.When Cal used morphine to keep the cat at bay,the cat was also a weird sort of barrier between the destructive thoughts about what had happened.Now that the cat was active again,Cal knew that once he shifted back,those memories and thoughts would be back,too.

He didn’t know if this was how all shifters’brains worked,but it was his truth,and…yeah.
