Chapter 26- Thea

**Thea**

Atlas had barely spoken to me since I had shifted for the first time. We only talked about my training. The night in the garden seemed like 100 years ago. I hadn’t seen him smile since. I didn’t understand it. He also wouldn’t shift into his wolf form around me, instead instructing Asher through their mind link on how to show me how to fight as a wolf. I could sense even Asher thought this was odd, but because Atlas was his Beta, he said nothing.

When I tried to talk to Bessie about it, she just changed the subject or gave me strange excuses. I knew her well enough now to know she was hiding something from me.

The truth was, I had begun to develop feelings for Atlas. Feelings I couldn’t explain. When I had become angry at training, Atlas had had this strange ability to relax me instantly. Surely that wasn’t normal?
