Chapter 42
Astrid's POV
I stirred in my sleep. The bed felt like a cloud. It was soft and fluffy, like sinking into a pile of feathers. I stretched, my muscles relaxing into the comfortable mattress. It was the best bed I had ever slept in. My old bed in the Moonshade pack was hard and lumpy. I always woke up with aches and pains. But this bed… this bed was heaven.
I snuggled deeper under the covers, wanting to stay in this cozy world forever. But something pulled me from my peaceful slumber. Voices.
They were whispering, but I could hear them clearly. My hearing had become very sharp since I shifted into my wolf form. I could pick up sounds that normal people couldn't.
"Is she still sleeping?" a female voice asked. It was a voice I didn't know. It was soft and gentle, like a warm breeze.
"She needs the rest," another voice replied. This one I knew. It was Kaeleen. His voice was deep and soothing, like a gentle rumble. It always made me feel safe.
