Chapter 48 - Giselle
“... Right! I almost forgot. But, in case you or any of the pups feel sick, you can give them the potion that was meant for your Mate initially.” Suddenly saying before I ended the call, Winny kept amazing me about how many things she seemed to know about my life, even if she wasn’t here.
And once more, she made me want to ask her how she knew that, although I was pretty sure she wouldn’t give me an answer I could fully understand.
"Is... Is it okay for them to drink it?" Falling into her words, I didn't even realize how I was mentioning a pup who was far from coming into this world as if they were already here.
"Yes, it is. As basically, it's just a tonic I made for your Human Mate in case the effects on your bond were too much for him."Casually, she finished telling me before I heard what sounded like a child crying while going to her before I heard her speak in what sounded like French. “... Maman est là, mon amour… What I was saying... Oh! About the potion! It has no bad effects on them, nor you. So you can drink it without worries if you need it. But now, go back to bed as it's good for you to sleep a little more. Besides, my son needs me right now, so I can't keep talking to you. Au revoir!”
Before I could say anything else, the only thing I could hear was the beep sound on the other side of the line, which ended up bringing a sigh to my lips as I lay down uselessly again.
... Sleep was the last thing on my mind then, no matter how many times I closed my eyes, trying to get a little extra rest as she had suggested before going to the Pack's house…
Giving up after what should be around fifteen minutes at the most but felt like long hours, I got up after feeling I would get more tired if I stayed there for another minute.
Just putting on the same sweatshirt I wore the other day, I ignored the smell of coffee downstairs while leaving with a simple good morning as if I were already late for my shift.
...I definitely wasn't, yet I doubt my family had any idea about it or my usual routine that wasn't around Edward...
But in any way, it wasn't as if it really bothered me when I left my clothes behind at the Pack's house, soon shifting into my wolf amidst the pretty cold weather.
...Snow started to fall not long after I left toward the forests, almost like a second form of comfort after my talk with the Winter Witch...
I was honestly tired of thinking about it… Tired of thinking about love… Tired of thinking and worrying about it all. It was nice to talk to someone who wouldn't give me any kind of hope and listen to what I had to say, even if it required p*****t for that.
"How are you doing now?" As a whisper, I heard Jiya's voice ask me in my mind, just when I turned around in her direction.
It had been a couple of days since the last time I saw her, so it wasn't strange that she was still treating me like a sick person.
"A lot better as I told you I would be." If we were in our Human forms right now, a simple smile would show on my face as I told her this before Jiya mentioned that she was happy to hear that, and the two of us soon found ourselves in a conversation a little longer than I had imagined it...
... Long enough that I only realized we had lost ourselves to time when I heard the Alpha's howl calling us back for that morning's patrol...
… And honestly…
She could be my Beta, but it had been a while since the last time I had felt this way with anyone besides Eddy... Having a sincere smile on my face while being free of masks that hide my emotions up to the point that made me wonder if what I had told her was true... Everything's fine now.
… Even if time couldn’t heal everything as I used to believe… I’m fine now.
