Indistinct voices greet me as I open my eyes and find myself in bed. Emma and Sydney seem to be engaged in an argument until they notice me staring. Sydney quickly rushes to the bedside table and hands me a glass of water, which I eagerly drink.
Wiping my mouth, I look at them. They both wear crestfallen expressions. It's over now. He banished me, so I am left in a pack house that no longer belongs to me.
"Please don't leave us," Emma breaks the tense silence. He looks like a sad puppy, and it brings smile to my face.
"I don't have a choice. How much time has passed?"
"Half an hour. Since you fainted," Sydney answers.
"That means I only have one and a half hours left before the effects of the banishment start to take place." It takes two hours for the effects of the banishment to fully initiate, and once that happens, I will be forcibly thrown out of the pack by Damien's men.
