Chapter 0451
“R–run?” I must have reached the point of my wild–temptation where I was beginning to hallucinate, because there was no way that Julian had actually just suggested to me that we go for a run, here, now, by the light of the moonlight.
“I’m serious,” he said.
“But… last time…” I didn’t need to remind him that last time I had let free my wolf, I had disappeared for three days. A search party had been sent out to find me. It was Julian himself who had finally caught up with me and convinced me to return to my human form.

I tried to see through my own delirium to assess whether what he was saying made sense or not. It was difficult, but, yes. Yes, that could be true. My wolf and I were bonding slowly, but I almost felt a sense of resentment from it. Too long, I’ve been keeping it locked away inside of me as if in a cage. 2
