was a joke, but Sterl didn’t seem to find the humor in it. As he lay back down, this time on his side so they could look at each other, Elijah told the others that he was awake.
Is he okay? I mean, does he need anything? Elijah told their mom that he was weak but looked okay. He was building his strength to take a shower. You tell him that we can come there now if he needs us. You take care of him.
“Are they coming over? I’d rather they didn’t right now.” Elijah told Sterl that they would if he needed them. “Not right now. I just need to think. How long have I been out?”
“Five days. And it’s mostly been rest, not recuperating. And so you know, I had to ask what the difference was. You were hurt by what they did, but you healed from that quickly with the blood of Noah and Joe. You’ve been sleeping—resting, I guess—the bulk of it because your body needed it.” Elijah helped him stand and held him while he stood there. “Alta, she’s your cook now. She has been fussing around in your kitchen for days now. I think she wants to fatten you up.”
“I don’t really need a cook.” Elijah thought for sure that he did. He had lost a great deal of weight. “Can you help me? I hate to ask you to help me shower, but I really don’t think I can stand on my own.”
It took them nearly an hour to get Sterl in and out of the shower. Twice Elijah thought he was going to have to call in some help as Sterl would just go weak on him. By the time he was dressed and sitting on the chair, Elijah felt like he’d run a marathon. But Sterl told him that he felt better, and he looked it as well. Getting him to the kitchen was much easier too.
When he ate what Elijah was sure was the first good meal he’d had in a while, Sterl decided after he was full that he wanted a nap. But after making him shift and run with him for a little while, he lay down by the pond that ran behind all of their properties and closed his eyes. Elijah asked him if he was all right.
Yes. I really think I am. I mean, I’m exhausted, but I feel like I could go to sleep now and not dream. I have been terrified of falling to sleep for a few years now. Elijah said nothing. He’d been there when they’d pulled that thing, a memory of her, and he wasn’t sure that he’d sleep well for a while after seeing what Sterl had gone through. I’m guessing that I’m in trouble. I remember hurting Trent.
He is fine. I think you frightened us more than you hurt him. Elijah knew that Trent wanted to talk to Sterl right away, but Elijah asked him to wait a little while. You had a part of her in your mind. She was there controlling you. Myra said it was a part of your brain that you use for emotions. She had attached herself to you so that you’d kill for her.
I didn’t feel her. Never. She never spoke to me either, so far as I.... She did when Myra held me. It was like her touch made it so I could hear her. Elijah knew that was exactly what had happened. She’s gone though, right? I mean, she’s gone for good.
Yes. Noah said that he felt badly for not checking your mind for her when he took her poison out of your body. Myra told him that he more than likely wouldn’t have found her there, but Noah still feels like he let you down. And Joe has been by at least ten times a day to check on you for him. That bitch was there, in your head, to make you do things that would bring your beast out. Not the wolf in you, but something stronger. Something you don’t have.
You mean the alpha. Elijah told him that was it. She thinks I’m the alpha of our pack. That’s why she fucked with me. Well, I got news for her, alpha or not, she has messed with the wrong person. I’m going to take care of her once and for all.
We all are. We saw it too, what she did to you, and we’re all going to take care of this bitch.
As they made their way back to Sterl’s house, Elijah watched him carefully. He’d have to give a full report to everyone, and he was glad
