Traian's Pov After I put on my shorts, I started to walk back to my house barefooted. The sun was just starting to rise. The sun's rays pierced the gap between the thick leaves of the feast of trees, bathing the forest with its warmth. I close my eyes, inhaling the scent of the forest and reveling in the fleeting noises of the creatures around to calm myself and my wolf. But once I opened my eyes, the anger, confusion, and pain still lingered in my mind. After Jaidyn left, I ended up destroying the surprise I had made and shifted to my wolf form, running for hours in the forest. When I got back home, I drank for hours because sleep didn't come to me at all. I was so damn confused. We were okay before I brought her to the library and I sure as hell didn't do anything wrong that I am aware of for her to be so angry and distant in a snap. Her words stung so much that my wolf whimpered in my head as she uttered how her human fiancee was still the one in his heart. It breaks and pains

Shortly after, I saw the five wolves, stalking toward me. Even though I was ready to be devoured by wolves, I shouldn't have been that afraid and horrified. Perhaps it was the agony numbing in my entire body that caused me to even grin at them and wave my right hand at them. I stammered, "Hey," Because of how dry my throat was, my voice was gruff. The gray wolf that was leading the other four hissed at me and flashed its razor-sharp teeth. Well, I guess my ‘hey’ isn't to her taste. "I'm sorry, how rude of me to greet you like that" I meet the menacing eyes of the gray wolf and spoke, "Hi, Lara" The gray wolf stared at me for a few seconds before its body morphed into human skin. Its furs vanished and were replaced by limbs until the one standing before me was Lara in her naked form. I was completely taken aback and genuinely afraid throughout the entire shifting process. It appears to be agonizing, and seeing how a wolf can change into a person was perplexing and left me speechle

Jaidyn's Pov My arm was gently caressed by a warm hand, and then I heard a muffled voice. My eyes felt heavy, despite my attempts to flutter them open. I gave it another try, but I failed. My pulse quickened. What is happening? What is wrong with me? I attempted to move my fingers, but they seemed stuck to the mattress. I felt a wave of panic, and then I heard a loud beeping of something. When I heard a man yelling, I tried to move my hand again and peeled my eyelids open but I failed again. "OH MY GOD! SHE MOVES HER FINGERS! TRAIAN!" I had trouble clearly recognizing the voice. It became more difficult for me to move or open my eyes, and eventually, I started to feel lightheaded once again. “Why won't she open her eyes now?” "Calm down, Jane. The doctor said she might be anytime," “Goodness, my Jaidyn, oh my god” "She will wake up, Janette. Our daughter will wake up" It was one of the remarks I overheard. Those voices are familiar to me. It belongs to my mom, dad, Jane, and

I turned away from the book I was reading to look at the door as it opened, expecting someone might enter. One week after I woke up, the doctors informed me that my body was recuperating well and that I would be able to resume normal activities in a few days. Also, it has been five days since I discovered Traian spending every night in my room while my parents and sister came to visit in the morning. My sister also informed me about all the events that had happened to her, particularly during her pregnancy. But we never dwell on the day of the incident and the things I discover. I know my parents and older sister want to talk about Traian but they never once speak a word about him. I know they are waiting for me and I am also preparing myself. Jane was the one who came in with the platter. Her beaming countenance just tells me something is going on, so I frowned at her with my lips curled up in a smile. I put down the book I was reading on the side of my bed. I asked her as I took a

I closed my eyes and let myself be enveloped by the sun's warmth and the cool breeze. It was soothing. I was lying on the picnic mat that we laid on the ground. It was big enough for me and my family. It was only the four of us here. I can barely remember how a month went by, but I'm now totally recovered. The doctors allowed me to go back to doing my normal activities. Traian and I have started spending more time at home, doing things like watching movies and having strange conversations. He occasionally taught me how to cook, and I truly loved it. I also have some quality time with my parents. With my sister, Claire, Sally, and Kate, I occasionally go outside to eat. I also spent some time with the boys, Cayden, Evan, and Adam. There has been some development between Adam and Sally also. They started to talk casually to each other but Adam is still distant. I can't hold him responsible for it, though. That's something I cannot blame him for. And I think Sally was aware of that as w
