Chapter 174 Square One

• The cool, damp earth beneath my paws was a welcome sensation as I padded through the forest. The first light of dawn was just beginning to filter through the trees, casting long shadows across the underbrush, and a gentle breeze ruffled my pure white fur. Leonard’s wolf form moved silently beside me, his nose to the ground as we searched for any trace of Olivia.
• Shifting like this with my Beta by my side should have felt like an immense relief, a joyous occasion. Finally, after years of barely even being able to drop my fangs properly, I could shift fully with ease. I was home, healthy, and my wolf was happy.
