#Chapter44

'/"Do you believe in soul mates, Zara?/"'

I think I was in denial and being so close to Harper didn't help at all. I think my mind rejected the idea of the existence of werewolves right on the spot, even though I conversed with Harper about them like I would, maybe, discuss a fantasy novel.

When I got into the safe confines of my own home and the soft sheets of my bed did I realise the gravity of the situation.

My throat was parched and scratchy due to screaming, my body felt heavy and I couldn't even lift my head up. My head pounded and my body felt like it was on fire. I was so exhausted that I felt like I had been hit by a freight train.

I didn't know when I fell asleep due to exhaustion but I do know when I woke up, my mom was hovering over me, her eyebrows furrowed in concern.

/"You're burning up!/" My mom said while gently touching the back of her hand with my forehead.
