I stared at my reflection in the mirror and cringed. Death warmed over would've been an improvement. The cut on my head had swollen into a nice little black and purple goose egg. I had dark bags under my eyes, and I still had a sickly complexion. I went and got the basics out of my backpack: brush, toothbrush, and some makeup, and tackled the daunting task of trying to make myself appear somewhat like a normal and functioning human being. I was only halfway through with my hair when I heard someone let themselves in.

"Oh yikes," Kara said as she joined me in the bathroom. "Here, let me help." She took the brush out of my hands before I could answer and started working on my hair.

Okay then. "Thanks."

"No problem-o. Misses W wanted to check up on you and talk some more."

"What about?"

"She didn't tell me. Probably doctor stuff." Kara shrugged and started rummaging through my makeup case.

"You know, I can do that myself right?"

"Yeah, well, I don't really have any girlfriends so indulge me, kay?" Again, she didn't wait for an answer before getting started.

When she finished, I wasn't half bad, if you could ignore the black and purple goose egg. "Thanks."

"No problem-o. As I said, I have no girlfriends really."

"Why not?"

"I'm allergic to bullshit and have no fucks to give to all these drama llamas. Come on, let's take you to Misses W."

"Lead the way," I said, not exactly eager. I wasn't going to be leaving anytime soon.

Kara led me to a small office on the ground floor. The alpha and his wife were there waiting for us. Kara showed me inside and left. "How are you feeling?" Emily asked.

"Good. My head doesn't hurt so much, and I'm not sick."

"We spoke to your mother last night. Let her know you were here and being cared for. She's made it abundantly clear that although your condition has improved, you are not allowed to leave this house until she arrives this evening."

Uh-oh, that didn't sound good. "What about Mike and his dad? Do they..."
