I woke up on a couch in a room I didn’t recognize. My shoulder throbbed with pain; It was bandaged, and I was in clean, dry clothes. There was a document on the table and a single

I struggled to sit up and nodded. “I’m fine.” 

He scoffed. “You continue to surprise me. Not many could have run so far with a wolfsbane bullet in their shoulder… Seems like the rumors about you are true.”

I picked it up and scanned the pages. 

“You could have led with this,” I remarked softly, my voice strained.
