I ced my hand over my lips and reyed the kiss over and over again in my mind. What I felt back then couldn’t bepared to anything I’ve ever felt in my entire life. I’ve never felt so… alive.
And if it was already like that, just a small touch of the lips, then I couldn’t even begin to imagine if we<i>… </i>
I shook my head before that thought entered my mind. Again, he had someone else he loved, and they were in a loving rtionship!
With that, I made the decision to head out for a run. It had been some time since I had let my wolf roam free, and after that kiss with Rowan, my inner beast had been fussier than usual.
Fortunately, Zaria was back in Elite, so I didn’t have anyone breathing down my car. Still, I took care to slip. out of my room quietly, not wanting to alert those in the house.
I grabbed my robe and shifted in the enveloping embrace of the forest, sighing in relief as my limbs began to transform, slowly bing covered in soft, thick fur. I was just an ordinary wolf–nothing remarkable. One that would easily blend into a crowd of wolves,cking any special traits that stood out.
During my childhood, my rtives even questioned whether I truly had their Beta blood flowing my veins. Thankfully, my parents were always there to dismiss their unnecessary and hurtful However, once they passed away, I was left knowing their true feelings.
But, honestly, I couldn’t care less.
There were times, especiallyte at night, when I found myself pondering whether my life would have turned out better if I were just a normal wolf–blessed with a normal mate and an ordinary disposition in life. Perhaps then, just maybe, I wouldn’t have to endure all this turmoil.
Nheless, I had thought long enough to understand that wishing for things you weren’t born with was ultimately futile. Such desires would not alter my circumstances. What we can do instead is ept our reality and make the most of what we have–though, of course, that is often far easier said than done.
As I ran through the forest, I reveled in the aroma of pine that surrounded me. It was reminiscent of Rowan’s scent, yet his was undeniably fresher and more intoxicating.
I scolded myself again for allowing my thoughts to drift back to him. I leaped over branches and quickened my pace, trying to distract myself from my spiraling thoughts. Just as I rounded a corner, however, an unusual presence caught my attention near the border between the East and the South.
Huh? Who would be here at thiste hour? No one typically patrolled the borders of the factions since we were all free <i>to </i>explore the othernds after the Breaking. So, another presence here was indeed strange. Unless… they were detoxing like I was.
I slowed down my steps and sniffed the air, frowning even deeper when I smelled a familiar scent mingling with an unfamiliar one. However, that wasn’t the only case. Along with the mingling of these scents, there was the unmistakable scent of desire.
I stopped in my tracks when I saw <b>two </b>silhouettes leaning against a tree. Then, my hunch was proven right when moans echoed through the still night.

Grap. Did I just walk in on two people having sex with each other? They’re pretty freaky for doing it in <b>the </b>forest. <b>I </b>knew we were animals, but the forest floor was dirty!
I was about to leave, wanting to mind my business, when the moonlight suddenly caught bright strands, making me stop once more. My brows furrowed, and I found myself stepping forward without even thinking about it.
That… that couldn’t be.
She wouldn’t be here. Out of all people, she was one who wouldn’t do this to him.
However, as I inched closer and closer to the couple, there was no denying it even more. I stepped on a twig, causing them to part their lips and turn to me with wide eyes.
Ena turned to me with a gasp, while a man, a little bit shorter than she was but with a toned body and one that wasn’t familiar, looked at me with wide.
eyes.
“What are you doing?” she eximed. “You can’t barge in like that!”
I didn’t say anything. She must not recognize me in my wolf form. Honestly, I should have ran at that very moment. However, my curiosity got the best of me.
“Who are you?” she asked.
I stepped behind the wide trees and shifted back, pulling my robe closer to my body. As I walked trees, I could sense the dread in the air.
“Why are you still here?” the man asked, but Ena was frozen in her spot. I looked at her with a pained expression, one that asked the question-“Why?”
She had the man I yearned for, but she was with another man? I was feeling bad for thinking about Rowan for even a sliver of a moment, but she was locking lips and moaning in the forest with another?
“Tessa,” she whispered.
“You know each other?” the unfamiliar man asked. I bit my lip and only focused my gaze on her. I could see the horror in her eyes, one that told me not to tell this to Rowan. Even if she didn’t say anything, I could feel her desperation.
“Is everything alright, babe?” he continued to ask. “Who is she?”
My eyes widened slightly. Babe? They were already on such terms?
Ena closed her eyes. “Dustin, I’ll exinter. You have to go back for now.”
Dustin. So that was his name.
“What do you mean?”
“Dustin, please,” Ena muttered, and his expression softened before he nodded in response.
“Okay. I’ll call you, okay?” he softly said.
She nodded. Dustin shifted to his wolf form, his gaze lingering just for a second before leaving the area.

<b>That </b>left the two of us there on the dark forest floor, unable to speak for minutes.
After a while, she finally spoke, breaking the silence. “I can exin,” she muttered.
“Exin what?” I asked, unable to hide the shock in my tone. “That you’re cheating on Rowan?”

<b>“</b>No,” she whispered, and my frown deepened. I always thought Ena was perfect with no edges to her personality. I could still see her kindness, but right now, she was so, so vulnerable and hard to believe.
<b>“</b>Dustin,” she started off, “is my mate.”
