Exiting the car, I stepped onto the uneven ground, the crunch of leaves and twigs beneath my boots echoing in the stillness of the forest. I walked in however I couldn't shake the strange sensations that seemed to prick at my skin, my senses heightening with every step.

My sense of smell, in particular, was now keenly attuned to the slightest hint of human scent, lingering in the air like a haunting melody. It was a sensation I hadn't felt in years, not since I was a young teenager discovering the depths of my wolf heritage.

The college was always quiet on Mondays, a stark contrast to the bustling energy of the rest of the week.

    NickAs I stood in the hallway, watching Isabel busy herself in the kitchen, a sense of concern gnawed at me. It had been weeks since she started acting strangely, avoiding conversations about her health and brushing off my attempts to schedule a doctor's appointment."Isabel, can we talk for a moment?" I called out, my voice tinged with worry.She turned to face me, her expression strained. "Not now, Nick. I have things to do," she replied curtly, avoiding my gaze.My heart sank at her dismissive tone. "Isabel, please," I persisted, stepping closer to her. "Your health is important.

    Isabel As I awaken to the soft morning light filtering through the curtains, a sense of dread settles in the pit of my stomach. Today is the day I must confront a truth I've been desperately trying to avoid. I sit up slowly, my mind already swirling with thoughts of what I must face. It's not an easy realization to come to, but I can no longer deny the truth that has been staring me in the face for months now. I am not carrying Nick's child. The words echo in my mind, a painful reminder of the lie I've been living, the deception I've been weaving in a desperate attempt to hold onto a love that was never truly mine. I close my eyes, trying to push back the tears threatening to spill over. I had hoped and prayed that I would be pregnant, that this child would be the key to securing Nick's affections once and for all.
