No ! Stop, that's too much... Without my realizing it, and without wanting it, a tear rolled down my cheek to end up crashing on the floor in a small thud.. .

Within a few hours, I had just learned that a supernatural world populated by lycantropes existed...

Don't worry Irina...it's probably a bad dream! Yes, that's it...a bad dream I'm going to wake up from soon! Then my awful dull life will return as before...

The wolf... "man"... who so far seemed impassive, gave the impression of being as sad as me, and sharing my pain... and if what he had told me was true . No, no, no... my fate is... sealed?! No !!!

Taken by a kind of rage, against this life which seemed to find it amusing to make me suffer, I ran off at a crazy speed which was not usual for me, in the direction of the forest which is for me a haven of peace.

For what !? Why is all this only happening to me!? What else could I have done, horrible to be so punished!!!

My feet crushed the ground powerfully with each step, and ignoring my difficulty in breathing properly, I redoubled the intensity of my speed. I continued to run like a deranged in this thick forest, as if, by running like this, I could flee my horrible life. As if I could go beyond the truth in order to change it...

I fell, a few meters further on the verge of a heart attack. Not only was I having a lot of trouble breathing, but on top of that, 5 wolves, or rather lycantropes judging by their sizes, were standing in front of me...

They had all their fangs out, ready to jump at my throat at the slightest movement...

A gray and black wolf released its claws scratching the ground... It began to turn the earth like a bull, while moving its shoulder blades from right to left.

No ...

He springs up on his hind legs and rushes through the areas right at me...

Help Derek!!!

It was then that time seemed to stand still. As if he had answered my call, the white wolf that was beginning to be familiar to me, appeared out of nowhere and he narrowly intercepted the gray wolf, which in a second would have killed me.

My savior slaughtered the gray wolf that was in his mouth, and let him fall inert on the ground in a huge pool of blood. Then everything happened very quickly, a brown wolf planted his fangs in the skin of my white wolf's back. This one was so angry that he grabbed with the help of his mouth the right hind leg of his assailant, and he propelled him so hard into a tree that his skull split in two.

At that moment, a desire to vomit came to me at the sight of this macabre vision, but I hold back. The white wolf grabbed another wolf and opened her stomach, revealing her organs.

The other two wolves having become frightened galloped off in the opposite direction of the battlefield... my wolf let out a huge howl and three other wolves set off in pursuit of the runaways...

"The wolf" Derek slowly turned back to me looking very angry. His white coat was dotted with red bloodstains, belonging to his opponents. He stood in front of me and kicked me. His blow was not violent enough to hurt me, but it was enough to make me understand his nervousness...

I was now on the ground and at that moment I noticed the wound on his shoulder. It's... it's because of me that he's hurt?!

- I... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you...

It's not your fault .

I looked around me...

It's me, Derek. I'm talking to you telepathically. Only soul mates and members of the same pack can communicate in this way.

- Are you...in my head?

Somehow... I can only communicate with you I'm not in your mind, however I feel your emotions... I didn't want you to suffer like this...

He... he feels my emotions?! But it's supposed to be my privacy!!! Stop, I want him to leave me!

- I'm going back to boarding school.

He transformed back into a human, naked as a glass, and he held me firmly by the arm.

- Let go of me !!!

- Where are you planning to go!?

- I just told you at boarding school!

- I won't let you!

I turned to him furiously. Am I dreaming or does he think he can give me orders?!

- Let it be clear, I am not an object! I have emotions and I have the right to do whatever I want freely! And above all I take no orders from you! Because I'm not yours and I never will be!!!

He stared at me with wide, surprised and sad eyes, and in the face of that look I couldn't help but regret my harsh, harsh words. I really don't know what's wrong with me...

Then his gaze became as hard and cold as stone.

- I think it's time to show you who's in charge...

His sentence was barely finished when he pulled me violently against his chest, and he slammed me quickly and tightly against the nearest tree.

- Who's in charge now?

My little girl instinct pushed me to answer tit for tat.

- Me !

He took both of my arms and placed them above my head while moving even closer...

- And now ?

- Tou ... always me! I say as red as a peony.

But what an idiot! I should have shut up!!!

So he brought his head close to my collarbone, and he placed a chaste kiss on my throbbing jugular with arousal...I could feel his hurried, hot breath on my skin...his simple little gestures managed to inflame me somewhat. . It was as if the ice erected around my heart melted like snow in the sun in his presence...or in this case upon his touch...

- Are you sure to lead the dance?

- ... not so much ...
