Jen knew that what she felt was irrational. She got it. She totally, intellectually, understood that what she was feeling was not reality. Did that stop her from going full Bellatrix Lestrange on her man? Absolutely not. She could no more have stopped the words from coming out of her mouth than she could have stopped a hurricane.
“I just feel like my life is frozen. Like I’m going to be stuck here while everyone is getting to go do stuff.” Dec opened his mouth to say something, but Jen held up her hand to stop him. “Yes, fur butt, I do know how irrational that sounds. I do not need a Canis lupus Neanderthal telling me what a nut job I am. Regardless of the fact that I know it’s irrational, it doesn’t change that it’s how I feel.” Jen paused and took a deep breath. She’d begun to pace again and pulled her hair down out of a ponytail and twisted it up into a messy bun on top of her head. “Haven’t you ever felt something that you knew wasn’t reality but still couldn’t stop the fact that it felt real to you? It’s infuriating.” She stared at him, unsure of what else she could say to make him understand.
Decebel ran both hands over his face and let out a deep breath. His glowing, amber eyes met hers, and his wolf was the one who responded to her. “Why haven’t you let your wolf help you? You know she doesn’t experience the same emotions with which the human contends. She is better equipped to deal with some things.”
He sounded so matter-of-fact that it was hard to be irritated by his words. Jen knew he wasn’t trying to be condescending. That wasn’t how the wolf thought. Everything with their wolves was about survival, protecting, providing, meeting the needs of the pack. It made sense, and yet her human half wanted to be able to do it on her own. Prideful, yes, but asking her wolf for help at being a mom made her feel incapable. What is the wolf part of her was better at being a mother than the human part? Did that make her a terrible mother? Would that mean she was incapable of being a mom? Would it make her a failure?
“You are making the issue more complicated than it needs to be,” Decebel’s wolf said. “It doesn’t matter what would be if you didn’t have a wolf. You are Canis lupus. That is all that matters. You cannot remove that part of your soul. There is no reason to not utilize that part of yourself when it is the reason the Great Luna created our kind in the first place.”
“I hear what you’re saying,” Jen said. “And I agree. But the hormone stuff will still be there. I may be Canis lupus, but I am human too.”
Decebel looked as if he was going to say something else, but he stopped, and the eyes that had begun to return to their normal color suddenly glowed like the sun in their brightness.
