Chapter 27
Kaeleen’s POV
I said my goodbyes to Annabelle and the others. It was a bit surprising when I found out that this pack had other buildings which housed some other representatives. Which made me think that perhaps they had other houses too that could shelter Astrid but they just didn’t want her to have it. Well, soon enough, this would all be in the past and she could have a peaceful life once again. One in which she was accepted. And not one in which she was treated like the scum of the earth.
I was walking with both Alex and Rebecca when I remembered the way my sister had behaved when I had been looking for a first aid kit for Astrid.
"I need a word with you," I said, slowing my pace.
Rebecca turned, her brow furrowed in confusion. "What’s up? Can’t it wait?"
I shook my head, my gaze fixed on her. "It’s about you. And something I noticed earlier."
Alex, ever the perceptive one, stopped walking as well, his eyes shifting between Rebecca and me. A flicker of concern crossed his face.
"What do you want to talk about, Kaeleen?" Rebecca asked, her voice guarded.
I hesitated, searching for the right words. "Are you okay? Really?"
Her expression softened slightly, but she still seemed hesitant. "Of course, I’m okay. Why wouldn’t I be?"
