(Astrid POV)
"I got another phone call from Kael Anderson."
Oh.
Wow. That was not what I was expecting this meeting to be about. Of all the possibilities that I considered, I never thought that that would be it. I thought maybe Dr. Hyder would want to talk about my schooling, my future in this pack or at Red Rock, or even possibly issues going on with patients that I have worked with. But Kael? No, I never expected Kael to be the topic of conversation.
Just an hour ago, I was laughing and joking around with Brady. We were throwing cookie dough, eggs, flour, and sugar at one another with the innocence of two little kids. And yet now, before Dr. Hyder—at the mere mention of Kael's name—I can feel my heart drop, and I can feel the tears threatening to pour out of my eyes.
