Chapter 60

Anna

It'd been a week since Spencer had woken up. Once that had happened, his recovery time went by extremely fast, but he still wasn't completely healed. The Healers said it'd be at least a month from the time he woke up until he was at a hundred percent again.

Dom, Spencer, Elsa, and I were chilling in the courtyard with the first two sleeping and soaking up the sun while my twin and I were reading a book in the Nancy Drew series. We were interrupted when Josilyn and Hunter came sprinting over to us, both flushed in the face.

"Guys! Caleb is awake!" Hunter exclaimed excitedly.

"What?!" we exclaimed simultaneously, scrambling up.

"Can we go see him?" Spencer asked, obviously elated at the news his alpha was awake.

"Not yet. The only ones allowed in are the alphas, so me, mom, dad, and Lily. But the others should be able to see him soon," Hunter explained.

"Trust me, I've been going crazy not being able to see him," Josilyn sympathized.

"When can we see him? Like as an exact time?" Spencer prodded.

"Within the next couple of hours. You're welcome to wait outside his room like the rest of us are."

Spencer was always running towards the infirmary with the rest of us hot at his heels. Upon arriving at his room, I found the entirety of my pack, both adults and kids, waiting outside his room. Even Ember was there which was surprising since she hadn't exactly been on speaking terms with Caleb before the war.

We all waited impatiently, wondering when the Healer or our alphas would come out telling us we could go in and see him. At one point Lily poked her head out and told Spencer to come in. He shot up pretty fast for someone whose stomach still had a hole in it.

About thirty minutes after that, mom announced we could come in. Trying to fit thirty-four people into the room was a challenge and basically impossible so the kids were allowed in first. Lily let me, Elsa, and Dom stay since we'd all been the closest to Caleb. One by one the pack members came to say hi to Caleb. He could barely speak and he could barely keep his eyes open, so mom and dad made sure that visitation was quick.

Once everyone was done, we were allowed to talk to him privately.

"How you feeling, man?" Spencer asked, visibly relieved to see his alpha alive and talking.

"I don't recommend falling off a two hundred foot cliff unless absolutely necessary," he groaned. "Especially with a guy that has a knife and is repeatedly stabbing you with it while you're falling."

"Yeah that sounds painful," Spencer laughed.

"How'd you fare?"

"I was fine."

"Liar."

"I'll tell you when you're better. For now you get some rest."

"Elsa, what happened to him?"

"I agree with him. Best to tell you everything that happened to everyone when you're feeling better," Elsa stated.

"Who all died?"
