But I know that as long as I spread my wings, the wind will carry me where I need to be.” “You are not going anywhere.” The tears start to roll like a waterfall down my cheeks that are being drenched, “You need to believe in miracles.” “Jenna, there is no such thing.

The only one that belonged to Ted. ***************************** George was tired of walking. His eyes were red and he couldn't walk straight. He had to lower his body when walking. Everyone he met to ask for help, moved away from him thinking he was cursed. He tried shifting into his wolf to heal but was too weak to make the shift.
