Blake:
I ran my fingers through my hair as I paced around my room. My mind was going wild with thoughts as mixed feelings filled me. I didn’t understand what they were, but all I knew was one thing: I didn’t like them, not one bit.
The feeling I felt when I was around Natalia was all too familiar, that it both pleased and disturbed me.
Pleased because it gave me a sense of peace, which I’ve only felt with one woman before, and disturbed because I knew that I wasn’t supposed to feel it with her. The woman who I felt whole with was gone, and no one on this planet was going to replace her.
“You need to calm down before you end up cutting off your own hair,” Ares said in my mind. My wolf had been silent since my beauty died, and yet, he was now calm, in a good mood even. That wasn’t a common thing when it came to being an Alpha, one who was both shattered and enraged.
“What is happening? Why am I feeling this way?” I asked him.
“For someone who’s been through this process before, I’m surprised that you haven’t understood what was happening,” Ares answered, speaking in a riddle which only seemed to anger me. I couldn’t help but let out a growl before shifting and jumping out the window of my room. I didn’t care that I broke its glass as I headed out, nor did I care that glass now filled the garden’s ground or my bedroom floor.
I could hear Natalia’s racing heart as she heard the crash. She looked out the window, her eyes widening when she saw that it was me who crashed through the window. But I didn’t give her time to process or say anything about it. I simply ran toward the forest, as fast and as far as I could get from the house; however, I made sure to stay within my own territory grounds so as not to invade any other wolf’s.
