Chapter 160: After She Woke

(Piper POV)

When I next woke, I was completely disoriented. I had no idea where I was or how long I had been out.

I was, however, vaguely aware of voices in the background. Those voices became clearer as the grogginess cleared from my mind. I decided to keep my eyes closed and listen.

As they talked, I began to remember coming to Nick and Jenny’s room and finding out that my engagement ring had more than one spell on it. Wanting to avoid panicking again, I reached up and grabbed my mother’s locket. I rubbed it, hoping it would bring me a little bit of comfort.

“Is she awake yet?” a voice I now recognized as Dr. Hyder asked.

I did not know if the phone was on speaker phone, but given my werewolf hearing and Dr. Hyder’s strong voice, it did not really make a difference.

“No, not yet.”

“Make sure she eats something when she does. She is going to need her strength.”

“Yes, Sir.”

“I have been doing some digging, and there are three potential ways to get the ring off.”

“That’s great!”
