Lauren cluiched a hand on her shoulder where the Iste had taken place
For some reason, it had been burning since she woke up. She hadn’t just taken much thought of it since her attention went to Damon’s recovery
“Are you okay, my dear? Anything painful?“
She turned to Harry who immediately came when the news of Dainon waking up got to him.
When the doors opened earlier. Lauren was frustratingly disappointed that it wasn’t w
whom she expected to come.
She was annoyed at herself that she still craved his presence, and that she was still expecting him to be there for them. For Damon’s welfare to be his priority
“Yan and Declan are traveling to the South for a mening with the leaders. Alpha Jasper had just informed them of their consent for a discussion about the united training and safeguarding of our lands against these vampires
Harry suddenly explained even when she wasn’t asking. She constantly watched the doors of the hospital room. She hadn’t even realized she was doing it, until she saw Harry staring
Lauren just nodded at the man as if that information didn’t just lift a huge boulder in her chest.
She just thought that Declan would not rush off towards Damon and wait until he finished his work during the afternoon even when he was just here in the pack. But it turned out, he wasn’t. Which was a relief to Lauren.
It meant he didn’t have a choice not to be here.
She looked at her ring finger, where a subtle light difference in color was around it. She wore her ring every single day for a year when they were married
She gave all of her rings back to Harry. It was Theresa’s, Declan’s mother. She wanted to give it back, feeling like she wasn’t the one Declan wanted
But seeing him still wear his wedding band, and the idea of what Glory told her. That he hadn’t really approved their divorce papers as Alpha, made her hope for something, no matter how much she tried not to.

It was the reason why he kept on insisting she was his wife. That’s why he kept on wearing

Harry nodded. “Then let me feed your little ones and rest here on the couch for a little while
Lauren was forced to stand up when Harry gently pushed her out of the chair she was sitting on as she spoonfed Damon. Clory said he was okay now, and even Damon said he could now eat by himself, but Lauren wanted to baby his son. She didn’t want him to get tired or anything at all

“Hi von Are you feeling well!
“Yes, Grandpa Harry.

he interaction. She could see how flustered Damon still was of his grandfather. He was more like Declan in that sense. He didn’t rasily warm up to new people around him, unlike lier, when she was still a child, just like her little Dalilia who was grunting widely at her grandfather as if she’s known him since forever.
Lauren took her seat on the couch and massaged her shoulder. There was still a patch there, even when the wound had already closed.
She took it out and felt the poncture scars underneath her fingers. She had just remembered that she wasn’t just bitten once. She had been bitten a couple of tipe around the same area. She could feel in through the scars it created.

Lauren heard Harry gently speaking to Damon and Dahlia, still spoons feeding them with the focal she cooked. There was a small kitchen Inside the

infirmary and Glory allowed her to use it.
“What about our Dada Jasper? Is he coming too?” She heard Dahlia asked.
Harry paused, surprised at Dahlia’s innocent question. She opened her mouth to indicate she was ready to eat more, so Harry give her a spoonful
Lauren was seeing and hearing all of these, but her mind was still reeling. She couldn’t seem to focus as something was trying to enter her mind. And the burning on her shoulder was intensifying
“What is happening to me?” She closed her eyes and rested her neck on the couch. She inhaled deeply, trying to remember the things she was taught for whenever she’s had panic attacks.
She just wasn’t sure this was one
Inhaling deeply, she counted one to five. She released her breath slowly and did it again. But no m voices louder in her ears. And something an image was occupying her mind.

A house in the middle of a clearing-
A couple of men inside a room, talking-
Trees and people were around there was a beach nearby.
Lauren clutched a hand on her forehead, feeling like she was becoming crazy.
She was already seeing things inside her head.
“Maybe I’m really going insane.” She mumbled to herself. But her shoulder suddenly burned hotter, making her moan.
“Lauren
She gasped and closed her eyes. She felt hands on her body as images after images came inside her head.
Declan was with the men in the huge house.
There were people behind the trees.. no, not people.
And the beach, there were emerging enemies that were coming from the seaside borders of what looked like a pack.
Lauren gasped and opened her eyes.
“What happened! Are you okay!” Clory was now with Harry, watching her with worried eyes as she stared wide–eyed at them.
“T–They’re in danger..” she mumbled, not sure about what she saw.
“What do you mean, dear? Who’s in trouble?” She turned to Harry, and as it
