The ache in my chest didn’t abate so easily. My senses tingled why the various scents and sounds, my awareness wider than usual. My human form, despite its comforts, was severely limited in its strength and power.
I ran through the forest, hearing the pounding of other wolves’ forest had come alive, the heartbeat so audible and the vibrancy
ws against the ground. It beat in a rhythm and felt like the hrilling-
As the wind ran its invisible hands through my fur, I never felt so free in a long time,
How long had it been since I ran through the forest, wild and free like I had wished for in my childhood?
The Wisteria Pack had moved further than I had and I deliberately slowed my pace to a metaphorical crawl.
I wasn’t trying to be among them anymore. They didn’t matter me, their opinions didn’t, not like before,
Stopping by a clearing where the moon shone down eagerly as to welcome me to a private space, I didn’t expect to feel something or rather SOMEONE brushing up against me.
What the hell?
I jerked away, nearly tripping over a large fallen tree trunk. It was a wolf. And not just any wolf.
I gaped briefly at the pair of glowing grey eyes that stared at me and I realized with my heart skipping a beat.
Caleb.
At first I hoped I was simply seeing a mirage in the darkness, despite my senses being so aware and the night not truly being so dark with my supernatural senses lighting up.
But after a few more seconds passed, with no sign of an illusionding away, it gave way to confusion and a little bit of frustration.
Why had he not gone along with the rest of his pack?
What did he want from me this time?
His wolf took a step forward confidently and his eyes were locked onto mine. I tensed up, my hind legs locked as I prepared
to run.
‘Don’t leave, I heard his voice in my head.
Our kind usually shared a telepathic bond that allowed private conversations between close people in this form relatives, children, masters, and of course, mates.
But this was certainly new to me.
This was the first ever time that Caleb had dared to evenook at bond
Perhaps that was why I forgot that it existed

‘You shouldn’t have bothered, I snapped at him, my patience running low. By the goddess, Caleb, can’t you take a damn
hint?’
‘Not this time Love,’ he insisted. ‘Not when it’s between us.’
I couldn’t hold back anymore; anxiety had built up in me and sat like a bomb ready to go off at any second.
I lashed out, slashing at his face with my claws
As expected, Caleb dodged expertly but I was prepared for that lashed out again. And again. And again like a broken damn record. With each charge I took at him and each blow I swung, he moved fluidly, almost like he was toying with me. Like it was too damn easy for him to defeat me.
It angered me even further, up to the point that I loudly growled and charged at him again.
Why the hell wasn’t he fighting back?
Did he not consider me a worthy opponent?
Had I ever been worthy of him in his mind?
The more I tried the more it couldn’t stop. Soon thoughts infiltrated my head and made it spin. I was drawn back to those days that I would beg for him to notice me. Even back to the last day I had spent in the pack, my pregnancy I had lost. Everything I had given up for him like a fool.
Everytime I had given him a chance, practically like a doormat who had no will of her own. Each time I would ask for just one acknowledgement. But none came.
So why?
Why was this Alpha not leaving me alone?
He circled me like a predator about to strike but never did. I took the bait, willingly and helplessly.
The howls of the pack filled the distance, creating background music for our duel. As he would push forward I would jump back, and when he would pull back, I lashed out with my claws. Our movements formed a dangerous dance that surely would look intentional to anyone.
At some point I don’t know how it happened, but it did. I tripped. It was the final blow to set a humiliating loss.
The tree trunk that I had narrowly missed before hit me in the shin and I cried out in a pained howl.
I was falling.
‘Daria!’ Caleb suddenly shouted and spots filled my vision when suddenly the feeling of a large wall supporting me came.
Hooked up to see Caleb bowed over me, towering and strongman a source of comfort. He leaned in and sniffed my legs, as if searching for blood and when he found none, his tense body laxed a bit.
Im sorry, he said. And for the first time I believed him. The pain his voice was too much to be a he

But I couldn’t deny it, how much I hadn’t lost my feelings for him. How much he had hurt me didn’t matter, becaus still foolishly in love with him….
Wasn’t I the biggest fool in the world?
The sound of the bushes rustling made me stiff. Caleb raised his head and looked in the direction of the noise, and as if sensing something, he moved closer.
I saw a small wolf pup, that couldn’t be older than 13, scurry out looking guilty as sin.
Rebelliousness at its finest.
I relaxed a little but Caleb grabbed the pup in his jaws and dropped him right in between the two of us. The little wolf shrank, likely expecting a scolding.
But to me this was my chance to escape. At least for now,
I’ll take him home, I stepped forward and addressed Caleb.
Caleb looked hesitant, while the wolf looked between the two of us with nervous eyes.
