Chapter 33

1 sometimes caught him staring at me, and I had this feeling he felt the same, but that des I thought he barely noticed my existenze, I’ve never had a boyfriend. Neves even been kissed. Anything I’ve learned about that kind of stuff has come from books and I’m not sure how we those things really are.

My mind wandered to his family. I’ve been working for the Westin Foundation for nearly torn years now. It’s gone by fast, and yet it also felt like I’d been there forever, like life before I moved to San Marco was nothing more than a dream. I’ve never been happier and a lot of that was due to the Westins, I loved Lily and Elise like sisters. We ate lunch most days together, occasionally Kyle even invited himself along. We’ve gone out several times, but I’m not much for partying and hanging out in bars. I preferred my quiet life.

I remember once, shortly after I started working for Kyle, he took me to meet his father. Kyle’s dad was quite intimidating, even more so than Kyle himself, yet he had the same carefree spirit of his daughters. I liked him immensely. He had asked me a lot of questions about my past that I hadn’t been prepared for, but something about him set me at ease and I was able to answer them honestly. He was surprised and a little disgusted to hear I was an orphan with no family to care for me. But like I told him that day, that’s just how life rolls sometimes and all you can do is pick yourself up and move on the best you can.

It hadn’t been easy losing my parents at such an early age, and while I had told him they were murdered, I still couldn’t bring myself to mention the details about the wolves who attacked us. Subconsciously, I caught myself rubbing my upper right thigh where I knew the ugly purple scars would forever be. It had taken the doctors eight rounds of skin grafts to close it back up and the skin around that area was still thin and ugly, I had to be careful not to nick it or it would bleed easily. A constant ugly reminder of that terrible night and the terrible monster they had turned me in to. I had lost more than my parents that night. I had lost my childhood and innocence, and I had lost my

future all in one.

I could be very off about Kyle’s feelings for me. Heck, I probably was. But it didn’t really matter because no matter what, I could never ever let him know my secret, and we could never ever be together with that between us. Still, I longed for him to wrap his arms around me and hold me close. My body shivered just at the memory of the brush of his arm or him rubbing my shoulders after a long hard day. My body craved those little moments, but what did it matter when I could never let it go any further than that?

I looked back out towards the woods. Still no sign of the wolf. I couldn’t help but worry about where he was. It wasn’t like him to go missing like this. I sighed and stood up to let myself in. The familiar comfort and smell of my home washed over me in happy greeting, but my wolf was agitated more

than usual. I couldn’t remember the last time I had let her out for a good run, and thought maybe it

was time I did.

In my mind, I could see her prancing for joy at the thought. So, I cracked the back door and quickly stripped, leaving my clothes in a pile on the floor and gave myself over to the change. I had barely hit the floor on all four paws when she was nosing the door open further and out, running at full speed towards the woods where the brown wolf usually stood.
