Kane's POV
I grabbed my horse from the men stationed to handle her. I ran my hand over her mane, feeling her heart pound beneath my touch.
"Don't give up on me just yet," I whispered, exhaling heavily to release the pressure building in my chest.
"She'll flee at the first chance she gets," Rod said as he walked up to us with my weapons.
"Are you sure I can't talk you out of going—or talk you into letting me come with you?"
"You can't," I replied, taking the weapons and strapping them to either side of the horse. I saddled her properly, tying my belongings to her back.
"When are you leaving for Pack City?"
"We leave the moment she wakes," he answered. "We don't have any time to waste. Arden went ahead of us to grab supplies and bring them back to his people. He's in charge during your absence as well."
