Ariane’s POV

“How can I be calm seeing my daughter sick like this?!” I cut Leon off, anger boiling over.

I was angry at Mark, angry because I felt helpless, angry because all this had happened. I tried to take a deep breath to calm myself down, but my chest felt tight.

We both entered my apartment and I offered Leon to sit in the living room. I poured him a glass of water and sat next to him. The silence felt a little awkward, but I tried to stay calm. Leon began to speak, "I'm sorry, Ariane. I'm really sorry for everything that happened between us. I know I've hurt you a lot and I want to apologize in person."

    Ariane’s POV After work, I decided to take a walk alone in the black moon pack that was connected to my world. In that forest, there was a place that always made me feel peaceful and calm. I walked along the path filled with shady trees and lush leaves. The cold and cool breeze made me feel even more fixated on the beauty of this nature. When I was far enough from home, a very familiar aroma suddenly wafted through the forest. The scent of blood and wet soil was familiar to me. It was the scent of someone I could easily recognize, because he was a hidden part of myself. My little heart was pounding and my wolf soul was struggling.
