“I actually think that we need to get back to meditating.” Megan nodded towards my planter.
“Why?”
“Because since we stopped, your plant stopped growing as fast, and I think when we spent so much time together looking for your power, we were closer. We spent more than a passing minute in each other’s presence. Talking to each other is great, but spending time together, having our souls bond and connect with each other and our power. It did more for us. I felt stronger than.”
I looked to Nix, and I saw her debating it. “What do you think?”
She looked back to the planter, and then to Megan. “She’s right.” She got up and walked over to the plant. “It stopped growing.” She looked at me. “I think we should listen to our Gamma. She is smarter than both of us.”
Megan looked proud, and I smiled. “Then we do it. Every day we will spend an hour together here.”
The bathroom door flew open. “I smelled blood.” The curtain flew back. “Why aren’t you healing?”
Chapter Fifty
Ilooked up at Toya in the doorway, confused. “What?”
She pointed to my leg. “You’re bleeding, and it hasn’t healed yet. Why aren’t you healing?” I looked down at my leg and saw the blood pouring from a minor cut.
I furrowed my brow. “I don’t know.” I looked back at her and shrugged. “I was talking to my wolves and got distracted.”
Now it was her turn to furrow her brow. “Get out so I can stop the bleeding.”
I waved her off. “Give me a few minutes to finish and then I will come out.”
“Amy, just come out now.”
“Okay mom.” I rolled my eyes. “Out.” I pointed, and she shook her head as she closed the door. Pushy woman.
I finished my shower, including finishing my shaving, and I got out. It was bleeding faster than I thought possible and I didn’t know why. I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my leg and walked out, leaving a bloody footprint with every step.
At least you have wood floors in here. Could you imagine the damage if it was carpet? Megan sighed as Nix choked out a laugh.
“Do you guys know why I’m not healing?”
Both wolves shook their heads.No. There is no reason for you not to be healing.Nix came closer.We are weak, but not so weak that our healing is stunted.
I made it to the living room and hovered at the edge. “I really like my carpet here, guys. Can you come treat this in the dining room?” Toya and Wendy both jumped up and followed me back around the wall. I sat down and propped my leg up on a second chair.
“So…healing?” Toya crouched next to me and unwrapped the towel.
“Nix and Megan both said there is no reason I shouldn’t be healing.”
Toya cursed under her breath. “I was really hoping it would be something simple, like your wolves were too tired.”
Wendy laughed as she handed Toya gauze to clean up my cut. “Is it ever that simple with Amy?”
Toya snapped her head up, sending her braids flying. “Is it magic?”
I thought about it and decided to check. I opened to my magic and I could feel both my wolves sigh as magic rushed through us. I could feel our magic actually feeding them.Sometimes we give to nature, and sometimes it gives back.My father’s words came back to me and I sat in the chair. Tears sprang to my eyes. I missed him. I missed Ronnie and Cass. I haven’t contacted them in months.
Focus.Nix’s voice made me jump. Her soft chuckle settled me.Focus on the wound, see if there is any magic that is blocking our healing. Then we can think about our family.
She was right. So I focused my magic on the cut on my leg. But there was nothing. No magic, no chains, no ill intent coming from the wound. It was clean. I opened my eyes and shook my head. “It’s clear.”
“What’s wrong?” Wendy handed me a tissue. I looked up in surprise. “You’re crying.”
I wiped my eyes. “Thanks. I was just thinking about my dad. We haven’t talked in a long time and I just miss him. Them. I usually spend the summer there, but now…”
