Her Freezing Heart novel Chapter 10

I woke up in the morning to find my bags packed and so were Cassidy and Grayson’s. Aaron gave me a hug and left for his classes. He seems a little distant lately. He didn’t even looked lightly concerned about me or was it just me being overly dramatic. I hope it’s the later. He must be really busy. Our plane leaves at ten so we left the apartment at eight. I slept through the entire journey. I still felt a little weak. Our plane landed at the Airport at half past eight. From here it’s a half an hour ride to Greycoast. We boarded a taxi and carried on with our journey.

As soon as we started the taxi ride, I could feel the pack link getting stronger. There is this other sinking feeling as well but I ignore it now and focus on more pressing matters first. It must be my nerves messing with my head. I need to ask papa if I am allowed to bring Cassidy and Grayson to the cabin. I am not sure I should though. They helped me a lot but they are strangers after all. Besides they are super naturals and I am one hundred percent sure they are not supposed to know about papa and Ryder. I should just drive them over to Alec’s. I can sneak off to the cabin in the middle of the night to meet papa and Ryder. I have already told him about us coming.

“I think it will be better to head to Alec’s now. It’s kind of getting really late now.” I voiced my thoughts.

Not the complete thoughts though. The mind link was back on by now. I should contact papa or maybe I should just go there in person.

“I think we should go there directly.” Cassidy said.

Please cut me some slack. I can’t take them there. Papa will hand me my ass. Besides I need to talk to my family in private. My father is dying after all.

“Sorry. I can’t take you to the cabin. It’s kind of a person home for me. We will stay at Alec’s for now. I will ask the pack alpha if I can bring you there. Then and after then only I will take you there. I know I am coming out quite rude but I just can’t.” I told her with finality in my voice. “I am already breaching the pack law by bringing a witch and a warlock in the pack lands. I don’t want to get in anymore trouble. I hope you can understand where I am coming from.”

I need to tell Leo about them as well. I can do that tomorrow when I will go meet Asher. His name made the sinking feeling in my stomach more pronounced. I hope he is not mad at me anymore. Maybe he will kiss the living day lights out of me when he sees me at his doorsteps. We haven’t seen each other for a while now.

“Okay.” Cassidy replied.

Well that was easy. I gave the cab driver Alec’s address. After we arrived at the apartment and unloaded our bags, I called Alec to take us inside the front door which was obviously locked. A few seconds later, I heard the front door slam open and I was engulfed in my brother’s arms. I missed him so much.

“Whoa!” he said letting go of me and holding me at the arms. He gave me a once over but his eyes lingered more on my face. “What happened to you?”

“What do you mean?” I asked confused.

Do I have something on my face?

“Have you looked at your face in the mirror lately? You look really pale and you have large dark circles around your eyes. If I didn’t knew better, I would have thought you were suffering from some serious disease or something.” He said chuckling. “You aren’t right?” This time he looked possibly terrified.

“Off course not.” I replied. “I had no idea I am looking that terrible. I just got out of a high fever yesterday. Maybe that’s why I am looking like this.” I lied.
