I just laughed under my breath, adjusting myself to get more comfortable in his arms. In the middle of all the mess, the old wounds, and the tug-of-war of my life, there was something deeply calming in the way Cal didn’t rush. His fingers traced my back, quiet and steady, grounding me in a way nothing else could.

The sound of the forest calmed me. “Are you calm now?" He asked. And I nodded. “I need you to close your eyes" I did as he said. His voice was soft and calm. Softening my anxiety. “Call on your wolf" I did just that The world softened. The forest sounds faded until there was only quiet, and then, slowly, something else. Warmth.

Kalimia's hands, reaching out with that gentle touch, were like the soft, soothing caress of a summer breeze, trying to comfort me. "Because it brings a bad name to my company," I said, sounding troubled, like the soft, gentle rumble of a summer storm cloud. Like the soft, gentle lapping of waves on a summer shore, Kalmia's words washed over me, and I could feel the calm seep into my frazzled nerves. "Calm yourself, baby, let's think and solve the problem," she said her voice soothing as a balm to my troubled mind. Her words were like a gentle, summer breeze that rustled the leaves of my worries, calming the stormy waters of my thought.

She lay down on the bank, letting the cool water soothe her. As she lay there, she felt her anger start to dissipate. The sound of the water and the rustling of leaves was like a lullaby, and she found herself calming down.

“You need to calm your body first.” “How?” I asked quickly. “How do I stop this?” He looked at Theo. Then back at me. “Herbs,” he said. I blinked. “Herbs?” “Yes,” Theo said, nodding. “We can use calming herbs. They help settle the wolf.” My breathing was still uneven. “But will it work?” I asked. “It will help,” Theo answered gently.
