Chapter 149

• The storm was already fading, and the light of a new day began breaking through the clouds as I felt myself slipping into unconsciousness. That’s when I heard footsteps behind me. Someone was getting closer, but I couldn’t move any faster to escape whoever was chasing me.
• Too fast, I thought to myself. No regular wolf could be that fast. A sudden spark went off in my mind—I just knew it had to be him. And it was, confirmed the moment I sensed his presence and caught his scent just a few feet behind me.
• He stayed close, giving me the strength and encouragement I needed to stay conscious until I finally caught sight of my house. As soon as I reached the door, the command—now broken—let my body relax, and I collapsed, breathing so fast it felt like my heart was about to give out.
