chapter fifteen: silent reverie

Aria's POV

The withdrawal process was nothing as I imagined. Healer Lucas, along with another named Rose, prepared a detoxifying tonic. From the smell, I knew it wouldn't taste like candies or fruits.

Xander had left for something urgent, I told him to go. Despite wishing he stayed, being an alpha, he had pack duties.

I hesitated before taking a sip; it tasted worse than any herbal tonic I've ever had.

"It doesn't have the best taste, but if you take three big gulps, it's quite manageable," Healer Rose advised.

I nodded and downed the remnants of the tonic with my eyes closed, following her suggestion.

When I finished, I passed Lucas's empty cup to him. Our eyes met; concern etched on his face. "Aria, you need to take a walk, let the detoxification tonic work its magic. Move around a bit," he urged.
