Nicole sprinted through the dense forest, her heart pounding in her chest, matching the rhythm of her footfalls. Each stride carried her farther away from the familiar into the depths of the unknown. The cool breeze brushed against her skin, the sounds of nature surrounding her like a comforting embrace.
As she ran, her thoughts raced alongside her. The encounter with Liam had left her reeling, emotions swirling within her like a tempest. She couldn’t deny the undeniable pull she felt toward him, the way her body responded to his touch. But at the same time, the memory gaps and the fear of the unknown clouded her mind.
Breathing heavily, Nicole slowed her pace and found herself in a clearing bathed in the soft glow of the moonlight. She looked up at the celestial body, its ethereal beauty casting a serene ambiance upon her.
She pleaded with the moon goddess for guidance, her voice a whisper carried away by the wind. “Moon Goddess, grant me clarity. Help me understand the depths of this connection. Show me the path I should take.”
She hadn’t prayed to the moon goddess in a long time. She believed that it was useless. She believed that the moon goddess didn’t care for slaves like her.
The moon shone down upon her, casting a soft glow on her as she continued to run. In the solitude of the forest, she sought solace and answers. Every stride brought her closer to a sense of clarity, though it remained elusive.
Her wolf, restless and eager, howled within her, echoing the turmoil in her heart. It longed for the bond with Liam, recognizing him as its rightful mate. The primal instincts tugged at her, aching to reunite with him, to embrace the love they once shared.
Nicole, finally coming to a stop in a small clearing bathed in moonlight, gazed up at the luminous orb above, her eyes filled with a mix of hope and uncertainty. The moon seemed to hold the answers she sought, its serene presence offering a glimmer of reassurance.
