The room was shrouded in darkness. The only light came from the golden rays of the sun squeezing through the gaps of the heavy curtains. Alyssa laid curled up on the cold floor too tired to make it back to her bed. She hasn't seen anyone in hours. She didn't know if a day had passed. She hadn't eaten for a long time. No one had bothered to check up on her. Her body trembled violently with sickness but she wasn't sick because she hadn't eaten. She knew that Zade and Ronan weren't in the pack because she had overheard some servants saying that but she didn't know if Isla was in her room. She hadn't heard the laughter of Kai for hours. It was something much worse and deep that was blooming in her.
