ZeldaThe early morning sunlight streamed through the window, directly into my eyes. I groaned and pulled the blanket over my head, trying to block it out. But I couldn't fall back asleep. A nagging thought kept pulling at the corners of my mind until I could no longer ignore it. I sat up, my heart pounding in my chest.I looked around, but Drake was nowhere to be found. I stood up, my legs feeling shaky beneath me. I put on my slippers and held my nightgown close around me. I walked to his chambers, my heart beating faster with every step. I hesitated outside his door, my hand hovering over the knob. Should I go in? What if he was still asleep?I turned the knob and stepped inside. The room was empty. I stepped outside and saw one of the maids in the hallway.“Where's the Alpha?” I asked, my voice trembling slightly. “He's gone on a journey, my lady,” she replied, her eyes downcast.I was angry at Drake for leaving without saying goodbye. I felt like he should have woken me up, e

ZeldaI closed my mouth and looked around in disbelief. Where did that roar come from? Could it have been me? I opened my mouth again, and let out another roar, this time louder than the last. It was exhilarating, and I felt my heart pounding in my chest. I roared again, feeling the sound reverberate through my body. My senses were heightened, and I could hear and see things that I never had before. I could hear the whispers of the enemies, their frantic discussions about what to do. I could see the gleam of weapons, hidden in the shadows. And I could smell the fear, the sickly sweet scent of it clinging to the air. It was overwhelming.I felt the change begin to take hold of me, my limbs growing longer, my body elongating. My clothing shredded into pieces as I transformed into my wolf form, my fur sprouting and covering my body. It was an uncomfortable sensation like my skin was being stretched and pulled, but I knew it was necessary. When it was over, I stood tall and proud, my f

ZeldaI could hear muffled sounds around me as if someone was talking in the distance. I tried to make sense of the words, but I couldn't. But then, I felt something else. A gentle kiss on my forehead, a familiar scent that filled my nose. I knew who it was. It was Drake. I felt his hand against my cheek, and I heard him whispering to me, but I couldn't make out the words. I struggled to speak, to tell him I was all right, but I couldn't. All I could do was lie there, listening to his voice.I felt like I was trapped in a deep, dark well, unable to move or speak. But then, I felt a tiny flicker of light. It was like a tiny spark of hope, and I knew I had to grasp it. I tried to open my eyes, fighting against the weight that seemed to press down on them. It was like lifting a mountain, but I kept pushing, pushing until I felt my eyelids begin to flutter. And then, with tremendous effort, I opened my eyes. The light was blinding, and I had to blink a few times to adjust.“She's awake

ZeldaAs Drake left the room, I curled up in bed, alone with my thoughts. I tried to be happy about finally getting my wolf, but instead, I felt a heavy sadness settling over me. The familiar ache in my chest returned, making it hard to breathe. The room was cold and dark, the moonlight shining through the window, casting shadows on the floor. I shivered, feeling a chill in the air. I closed my eyes, trying to block out the world, but the sadness remained.I had never thought that not knowing my father would be such an issue. I knew Drake didn't care, but the elders did. They wanted to know my history, to understand where I came from. But I didn't want to. I didn't want to think about the past, about the people who had abandoned me. I just wanted to move forward, to live my life as it is now. I wanted to forget the past and focus on the future, but now it seems the future demands my past.I had never asked my mother about my father. She had never spoken about him, and I would rather

ZeldaI awoke to the morning sun shining through my window, the light falling directly on my eyes. I blinked, trying to adjust to the brightness. I shifted in bed and then realized that I was wrapped in Drake's arms. I felt a moment of panic, but then I remembered what had happened the night before. We had just fallen asleep like that, and I had drifted off to sleep in his embrace. I took a deep breath, feeling a sense of peace wash over me.I rested my head back on his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. My fingers began to draw small circles on his ribs, feeling the softness of his skin beneath my touch. At that moment, I wished that I could stay like this forever. I wanted to stay wrapped in his arms, safe and protected. I would rather not face the day, didn't want to face the problems that awaited me. I just wanted to stay at this moment, wrapped in his embrace.“Why did you stop?” he asked, his voice heavy with sleep. “You were so peaceful,” he said, a hint
