MARGERY “Well, since Zaire didn’t accept to join us, why don’t we go with Leonard?” Ximena said as I looked at Zaire and Connor walking away.
ZAIRE The sound of the owls hooting and the paws of our wolves on the dirt were soothing. Louve and Amoux were enjoying themselves and we just let them be for a bit longer. Ruelle and Lowell were not far behind, and they were enjoying each other’s company as well. We reached a cliff and just sat there, admiring the horizon. The full moon was bright in the sky, and the stars were as beautiful as ever. Amoux stood straight, and let out a big, powerful howl to the moon, followed by the others. It felt so freeing, so… magical. As soon as they all stopped, Louve nuzzled her head against Amoux’s fur, showing how much she was loving his company. His blue eyes glowed as he let out a low growl before licking her snout playfully. He suddenly turned around, growling at the shadows. I wondered what had him feeling so uneasy? Then Lowell did the same, making Ruelle stand behind him. But not Louve, she was next to Amoux, ready to jump into action if needed. My wolf was no

I’m sure you have a lot of questions for us,” she asked. Zaire tensed next to me as I sat down, grabbing her hand to squeeze it in reassurance. “It’s okay,” I whispered.

ZAIRE Margery never made it back to school after she left the classroom. Ximena was not able to get anything out of her except that she needed fresh air, and I was concerned. It was lunch hour, I picked up my food tray and sat down on my usual spot in the cafeteria.
CONNOR Louve was inside the clinic, trying to heal from the attack earlier. Every nurse and doctor were at her disposal and even my mom offered to help them. I was outside of the room, pacing back and forth. The pack maids offered me food, but I had lost my appetite.
ZAIRE “Yes, you did it princess,” mom cheered as I walked for the first time. Dad recorded everything, and I could see myself, that tiny baby, clapping my hands. One minute, they turned their backs on me and I looked out the glass sliding door, a tall figure.
