— I asked the Great Wolf God, I asked all the gods in the pack, for you to return! — she moans, crying. - What happened? What happened?Arina squeezes my hand in hers.— We went for a walk in the forest and… we got lost — he says. — Tahi found his way back.I'm flabbergasted.I think it's the first lie I've heard coming out of my Sister's mouth.I'm so shocked that it takes me a while to speak when I realize that silence settles in and they are both looking at me.— We were foolish — I giggle at Reeina, trying to minimize the facts. — We don't know the garden. We shouldn't have gone into the forest. Did we make her worry?— Oh, lyn… — fen bites her lip. — They shouldn't have done that...Arina and I exchanged an alert look.We don't have time to react before our bedroom door bursts open and hits the wall.A gust of cold wind comes in along with it.I don't even have to turn around to see who's standing there, and I still do it.Miguel stares at me with the most furious grimace I've ev

I keep my legs open, my dress bunched up around my waist, half naked, while he looks at me and undresses.The belt falls to the floor with a loud, hard thump. The boots kick out. When he's just wearing his pants, he hesitates. It's brief, but I understand, then he undoes the buttons, the zipper, and finally he's naked before me, like before in the pools.The surrounding candles give his scarred skin a statuesque illumination, full of hard, perfect contours. A body worked to the limit by exercise and war.I see the scar on his left side.The one I helped heal when I found him on the beach. On the right flank there is another. From when our carriage fell in the forest and a tree crossed it...His life was threatened a thousand times and Miguel survived.He will never die.Without clothes the wolf appears even taller than normal. And this part… this part between your legs… is simply too big…"I'm going to hurt you. And you're going to like it."I go? Because all I can think about is pain

Arina and I debated at length, but came to no conclusion. In the old books in the library on Goddess Island there was no mention of anything even like what happened to Miguel and me. Has nothing like this ever happened before?I remember Reeina mentioned something about ancient books talking about oracles on the continent. Archives that the tribes tried to destroy when they realized they would be taken over by the wolves, but that they were able to save.It's just a guess, but I think it's worth a try.Reeina won't be back tonight, so I hope to talk to her the next day.I refresh myself in the adjoining room with the scented water and decide that that's enough for me for the moment. For some reason I don't want to completely get rid of Miguel's scent yet. Then Arina and I have some tea and go to sleep. And "sleep" is just a word, because I stay awake for most of the night, reliving in my mind what the Wolf King and I did in that room a few hours ago.Now he must be with his future que

There is nothing in the files, which are actually very few.It is an almost rudimentary text. It talks about women who are brought from the sea and can see the future. Talk about one of them, to be very specific; It's called Heria. Whoever recorded her life didn't go into great detail. It mentions that the leader of this tribe went to the sea and came back with a girl. The author describes her as small and scared. He says she made great predictions that helped the tribe prosper over others.And that's it.This Heria died of a fever on a very cold night and the leader of the tribe traveled to look for another like her.At this point the text stops.— It was all my father could save — Reeina apologizes.— So we have nothing? — Arina holds my arm.Less than nothing. We only have questions. Many of them.I respond with a negative wave, and that dictates the mood of returning to our room.I feel defeated.I hoped I could get some answers about the vision I had with Mig. In fact, I was sett

I'm crazy, I decide as I look at the bedroom ceiling.A wolf came earlier and lit half a dozen braziers to keep Arina and I warm, however I know that the heat I feel inside me is not due to that.My sister is sleeping.I can hear her deep, calm breathing right next to me on the big fur-covered bed.I can not sleep.I have a feeling in my chest that feels like a big itch that doesn't want to go away.I change positions several times carefully so as not to disturb my sister's sleep, but I know I won't sleep.I do not want to sleep...I push any rational thoughts to the back of my mind and get out of bed.When several "whys" and "ifs" start to arise I push them away too.It's like I'm in heat again, because I just can't stay still where I am. Not with Miguel right next door. Not with this stupid and intense need messing up my chest.I open the door and look down the hallway.I think it's late.The lights were turned off.I stand still for a moment, feeling the movement of the sea on my f
