The Beautiful Wolf
A staircase within the middle of the library spirals above for the unreachable books.
The former alpha noticed the sad look on my face and that I wasn't as excited as he was about starting homeschooling.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"Can I speak to you privately?" I responded.
"Hector, give us a minute," the former alpha tells his friend.
"Okay, I will be searching for some books while you both are gone that I can work with," says Hector.
The former alpha then takes me by the hand, leading me outside.
I looked at Hector as we were leaving, taking books from the shelf in preparation for me, knowing that I wouldn't be returning.
