Avery’s POV
The greenhouse was warm and quiet and full of everything I needed to be productive, and yet, for some reason that morning, I couldn’t seem to concentrate to save my life. I kept losing focus, messing up my calculations and even overwatering a plant to the point of nearly killing it as my mind wandered off to distant horizons.
Each time my mind wandered, it went to the same place.
It had been three days since Melissa came to the pack, and with each day that passed, her words grew stronger in my mind.
Sebastian. In the forest. By himself. Grieving.
For some reason, it made me think back to the face I thought I’d seen the other day, which had nearly haunted my nightmares since then. I didn’t know why I made a connection between the two. Maybe the “face” I thought I saw that day was some kind of way of my mind telling me to check on Sebastian out there. Some kind of omen. It wouldn’t have been the first time I’d had a vision. It wouldn’t be the last.
When I lost track of my calculation for the fourth time, I’d finally had enough. Deciding that today wasn’t going to be fruitful until I checked on him, I closed the notebook, pulled off my gloves, and went to get my jacket.
I didn’t bother telling anyone where I was going. I just left, driving with the windows down along the stretches of highway before I could think twice about it. The drive felt like it flew by, and before I knew it, I had arrived.
Evergreen looked the same as it always had: beautiful, idyllic, with the wind rustling through the tall grass and the distant sound of birds.
I pulled up to the front gate and got out to show them my ID, but the guard let me through without saying anything.
