Chapter 192

Jessa’s POV

It’s been a month since I last saw Cole. As much as I want to be near him, the pull isn’t nearly as strong for me as it is for him. While his wolf has been given the opportunity to heal, now that the silver that was slowly poisoning his body was successfully removed two months ago, my wolf hasn’t been so lucky.

For the first time in years my wolf is awake and searching for him. I can actually feel her inside me, hear her whimper for the mate she longs for but this new activity with her comes at a price for me.

While it’s mild, I recognize the classic symptoms of silver withdrawal and the cold-like symptoms I came down with the day he arrived has slowly morphed into flu-like aches plaguing my entire body.

 I’ve gone through repeated withdrawals from silver poisoning over the three and a half years that I was a rogue, bouncing in and out of packs like the pinball inside an arcade game until Dr. Pierce found me three years ago.
