Chapter Thirteen

The morning sun greeted me as soon as I crested the hill outside the manor. A thick mist lay close to the ground, distorting my surroundings as I made my way toward the trees.

As promised, Fallen visited whenever she could, which wasn’t nearly as often as my wolf would’ve liked. I could feel her pacing in the back of my mind, impatiently waiting to run with Fallen again. Restless and not wanting to bring more attention to myself, I slipped out of the shed and decided to take a long run before stopping by the manor to check on Ash and my sister.

The other wolves kept a wary eye, always watching me from afar and never willing to get close enough to ask me about my day.

In the days following my wolf’s attack, Ash reinstated my place within the pack. She even invited me inside the house as well, but I quickly declined. Considering how restless my wolf was staying on the same property as Fallen, I had a good idea what she’d do if Fallen and I ever happened to walk into the same room together.

The thought of sharing the same living space with her sent a thrill down my spine, one of which had my wolf howling for joy even though it wasn’t our reality.

Not yet, but soon, I could almost hear my wolf say, her claws digging at the back of my mind until I finally let her out.

Away from the other wolves, I could come and go as I pleased. No one would ask why I was on my fifth run of the morning, and I’m sure no one would care. Still, the less suspicion I caused, the better. So I ran.

I ran as though my life depended on it, every beat of my heart mimicking my paws as soon as they hit the ground. Under the trees and out of their line of sight, the other wolves back at the manor became a distant memory. Surrounded by pine and the smell of rain, I let my mind wander, returning to the time I’d spent with Fallen days prior.

A sadness tightened in my chest, a deep longing for the one wolf I wanted at my side but may never have. She’d never say as much, but considering her standing within the pack, getting her alone now that I’d made my first kill was more difficult than ever before.

Aside from the rest of the pack and their uneasy glares, I didn’t need a mentor anymore. No guards stood by to accompany me and no one watched my cell. Ash’s word was law, so once she invited me back inside the house, the other wolves didn’t challenge me. At this point, I wasn’t even sure if they ever did.

Fallen did. She tested me along with my feelings toward her, and as much as I knew the admission pleased her, she hadn’t spoken a word of it since. I rarely saw her, and when I did, it was in passing with no more than a gentle nod thrown in my direction.
