A Rescue Party

The screeching door shattered the stillness that surrounded Nova and while she closed her eyes against the light, she made no other move to acknowledge it. She had tried to fight the darkness, but with no base, she had crumbled. The sound of breathing filled the space along with footsteps. Something was different and so Nova finally pulled her eyes open and forced herself to sit up.

She didn't really know what she had expected, but this was the last thing on her list. The door stood wide open with Katy standing just inside her cell. All around the woman's feet were wolves, not werewolves but just normal wolves. One approached her and his familiar face brought a sob out of Nova's throat.

Nova had barely blinked before her arms were around Alpha. She didn't understand why he was here instead of Jay, but she was so happy to see him. The other four wolves moved forward and surrounded Nova in a sea of fur. Gone was the darkness. Gone was the emptiness. Her pack had come.
