you care even a little bit for me, you would cwith me,' she had said. What she didn't realize was that I cared for her far more than a 'little bit.' Transforming into my wolf form was as painful as it was the first tI'd shifted. I tried reining in my wolf, at least until I got out of my building and far from anyone's sight. But he wanted to be free-l could feel his desperation.
I pushed past the guards, heading for the exit.
"Sir..." one of the human guards called to me, but I didn't look back. If I did, he'd notice my not-so-naturally glowing eyes. I didn't want to scare the poor guy.
Taking the stairs or the elevator would have been the normal choice, but my wolf was getting restless. So, without a second thought, I leaped over the railing-and somehow, I landed on my feet.

I hurried toward the main exit, but it was too late-my clothes were already in shreds as my wolf took over.
The human guards I had employed fled; I couldn't blthem. It's not every day you see a man turn into a massive black-grey wolf.
For the next few days, I spent my tin the woods like skind of wild animal- which, in all fairness, I was. My wolf had taken full control, lockingaway.
I knew there was something I needed to do-something urgent-but I couldn't quite grasp what had been weighing onbefore. Every part ofwanted to stay in the woods, to be free, yet the throbbing worry returned every so often.
I had no idea how long I'd stayed in the woods, chasing after smaller animals and living like a wildling. But then, her face flashed in my mind.
Kaida.
That was where I was supposed to be.
I tried once again to take the reins and control my wolf, but he was too damn stubborn. Kaida could be in danger- that thought alone gavethe strength I needed. Somehow, I managed to shift back into my human form.
I was practically in the middle of nowhere. I had no idea how long it would take to reach her, but I had to hurry. For sreason, I felt like I was running out of time.

I felt selfish and unworthy of his sacrifice. All these years, I never once stopped to think about what he wanted; it was always about me, and I'd believed he enjoyed what I did, but what if he didn't? What if he had his own dreams, his own hopes, many of which never cto pass, all because he had to stick to my side every step I took? I heard voices outside, then the door to my room swung open, and Alexander walked in.
"I don't want you here. I want to be m alone; can't you respect that? M asked, suddenly emotional. "I had to see you." "Well now you have, can you leave?" "Kaida..." "No. I don't want to hear anything you have to say." "I know I hurt your feelings; I'm sorry.
