“I'm having a breakdown. Madness runs in my family; my Great Aunt Liza was committed to a mental institution in her twenties—that's what's happening to me. I need a doctor.”
The wolf sits back and licks its paws, clearly dismissing my words.
Is this really Calix?
The wind whistles through the trees, and I shiver despite the warm glow of the sun slowly rising. I can't take my eyes away from him, it—whatever you call these things.
Werewolves.
I jolt at the sound of Calix's voice in my head and let out a squeak of utter disbelief.
“Why can I hear you in my head?” I question, my voice trembling. “I'm losing it. Oh God, I'm really losing it.”
More tears sting my eyes, and fear crushes my chest. Who will take care of Leon if I'm carted off to a mental hospital? Because, let's face it, I clearly need to go.
You're not going crazy, Blair.
“I am, because I'm talking to a wolf in my head,” I hiss out, checking around us to make sure we're alone.
Of course we are.We're in the woods by the road at stupid o’clock in the morning.Who else is going to be here?
It's okay. Get back in the truck.
It's really happening. I can hear Calix in my head. Wait, if I can hear him in my head, can he read my mind?
Oh, fuck no.
Heat rises through my body, starting at the tips of my toes before making its way to my cheeks.
He can’t hear my thoughts, can he?
I can. But Blair, please get in the truck.
I stare at the wolf, or Calix, whatever the hell it is, and scramble to my feet.
He can hear me.I try to restrain my thoughts immediately, but all I can think of is how I need to escape this craziness.
Blair.
I’m going insane.
You’re not. This is an entirely normal reaction.
I glare at him, bunching my fists at my side. “Get out of my head!” I hiss as he backs away.
Sorry, it’s a habit.
He apologised. The dickhead actually apologised…
Calix growls, and I jump back.
“Out!” I demand, tapping my head.
How fucking dare he?!
My head throbs, and I feel nauseous, but the only person who knows why I feel this way is Calix, and right now, I need proof I'm not going insane.
“Change into a human.”
