Elaine leaned back in the seat. She was expecting something to happen. Or maybe nothing at all. Or perhaps to feel the immediate effects of Rage and yet…

“Do you feel any different?” Liam asked, leaning forward on the center console.

Elaine shook her head. “I don’t…I don’t think so.”

She took a deep breath, feeling right about ready to cry again. Yet when she took that deep breath, she could smell Liam. That tell–tale Alpha scent stronger than it had been in weeks.

From outside the car, she could scent the coal and grime of the air. The iron of rust on a nearby warehouse door.

Then she felt it.

Deep inside her chest, the spark of her wolf. The wild thing that had once been so known to her, now felt like a stranger she was meeting for the first time. Yet it was there. Actually there.

The beast inside every werewolf. She had hers back.

“Wait…”

Liam studied her expression, seeing the color return to her cheeks. “Yeah?”

“I feel it.” Elaine smiled, sitting up in the seat. “I feel her.”

“Your wolf?” Liam asked.

Elaine nodded, smiling wildly. “I can…I’ve forgotten what this was like.”

Liam leaned over the console and pulled her into a hug, nearly squishing her against him. “Goddess, Elaine, you scared me…”

Elaine laughed, tears welling up in her eyes. She could feel the emotion of her wolf now, the awakening of its long restless hibernation.

It was already warming her skin, it’s senses flooding her own until they were once more connected.

“It worked, Liam, it worked!”

“I’m so glad.” He gave her another squeeze before letting go. He pulled back to look at her.

Her smile began to fade as she looked back down at the bottle. The label advised to take one every day. Though with how little there were in the bottle to begin with, these weren’t exactly meant to last her long. Maybe two weeks.

“These won’t last long.”

“We have a supply.”

“A supply running through Ayla’s father,” Elaine said. She lowered the bottle. “I don’t want to have to rely on him.”

“Then we’ll track down who makes it. We have time now,” Liam said, relief still evident in his

expression. He started up the car.

Elaine couldn’t help but smile at that. “We have time.”

They drove away from the warehouse district, and Elaine felt stronger than she had in months. Not just in body but in mind as well. It was like life had begun a new and her wolf was awakening for that first time.

Coming into her senses again, was nearly overwhelming. All the scents from outside hit her at once as they drove. Slowly, she began to come accustomed to it once more.

She’d forgotten what it felt like. How much of the world she’d been missing with such dulled senses.

Their next stop was the Foundation. Elaine stepped out of the car, able to do it on her own. No wheelchair. No help getting in. No breathing tube.

She stood upright, holding the bottle of pills protectively in her hand. She looked up at Liam as he got out. A faint smile tugged at her lips.

“Alright,” Liam said. “So we plan our next move. We need to find the manufacturer for this drug.”

“You think Dr. Howard knows?” Elaine asked.

“If he did, wouldn’t he have sent us there to begin with?” Liam replied.

“Yes.”
