before.
    Sighing, I took them and
tried to dress. My newly-formed skin and still-healing wounds
pulled, and I whined like a pathetic she-wolf.
    He took the clothes from me
and helped me slide my shirt on. I refused to stand until my pants
were on enough to cover my nakedness. He rolled his eyes and slid
them over my legs. As he helped me to stand, I struggled to pull my
pants on, exposing as little as I possibly could.
    “ You will get used to your
body and come to see it as we do, without fear or
shame.”
    That I did not agree with.
In my mind, I was still human.
    “ So my options are to die or
flee?” I asked, out of breath and weak.
    “ Sadly, yes. You are not
alone though, my love,” he whispered into my ear, pulling me
closer. I accepted his affection, and even hugged him back. His
strength and faith would pull me through this, along with my
furious vengeance.
    “ You should not leave your
pack for someone as weak as me.” As I said this, a strange feeling
fell over me, which left me almost breathless. My chest hurt, and I
wanted to curl up into a ball and cry.
    I hid my face in his chest.
Deep down, I did not want to leave on my own. I knew I would not
make it.
    He was also starting to grow
on me.
    “ You are my mate, the pack
be damned.” His words filled me with hope and love. What had I done
to win over this glorious and strong man? Why wasn’t he pack
master?
    “ What will we do? Where will
we go, Abel?” I asked sadly. Leaving behind everything I’d ever
known was almost too much for me. I needed my family and I wanted
to win them back.
    Would I get a chance to see
my ma and sisters? Would I get the chance to tell them goodbye?
Would we come back?
    “ We go wherever the trail
leads us, love. We go where our wolves take us.”
    The growing feelings I had
were perplexing and overwhelming. I would follow him and hope the
path he led me on would bring me full circle, back to my
home.
    I did not look forward to
changing into this wolf. I knew it would be painful, and it seemed
so foreign. It was a part of me though, and it was time I accepted
that.
    “ Then tell me how to summon
my wolf,” I replied, looking into his beautiful blue
eyes.
