Chapter Fifty

Fayne's POV 

“The Luna told me to take you to the library. There's no problem with that, but since you're not a werewolf, it can be hard for you to keep your bearing there.”

“Can you tell me what your name is?” I asked her.

“Oh, it's Melissa.” she responded.

I nodded. “Then let's go, Melissa. And, you can call me Fayne.”

“I know, the Luna told me.”

“I see.” I responded.

“Come with me,” she said.

I followed Melissa to the library where several maids passed by. I guess they were in the lowest of the hierarchy but somehow they were still higher than me. After all, they were werewolves.

“Come on in,” Melissa ushered me and I looked around at the multiple scripts on the shelves in the library and sighed.

“I'll be right by the door in case you need me.”

I turned to her. “No, please go and tend to the Luna. I think she needs you more right now.”

“You're in danger more, I'd like to guard you. You don't know how dangerous werewolves can be. You're just a human.”

“I know I'll be fine.” I said and Melissa scoffed.

“I'll be outside, spend as much time as you can solving my Luna's problem.” Melissa said and walked out the door leaving me alone. 

I picked the ladder and searched through the shelf and picked out a book about werewolves. I sat down at a table and started to read through the book. It made me understand about werewolf instincts and all of their supernatural gifts. I felt a bit jealous that I wasn't a werewolf naturally. I loved especially the hearing abilities. They were pretty nice.

I thought about Emily and hoped that I would bDe able to help her. But for obvious reasons, I couldn't. The power dynamic was just too big. So I read more books until I understood a method for Emily to gain back her wolf. I put the books back and walked out the door.

Melissa turned to me, “You're done already?”

“Yes, I have some ideas. Please lead me to the Luna's room.”

“Okay.”

“Did you find out something?” Emily asked, her eyes widened with curiosity. Her eyes were beautiful and it made me want to caress them but I couldn't because it was like reaching for the stars.

I shook my head at the thought. In Emily's eyes, I was probably some docile guy who was inexperienced in certain things. If only she knew how I felt for her. But even if I had some feelings in my heart towards her, it would be unfair to her for me to act towards it so I cleared my throat.

“I have a solution for you, Emily.”

She gasped, “Did you find out how to make me a werewolf again?”

“It’s a gradual process but I think it will help.”

Emily ran her fingers through her hair without even trying to be cute, but in my eyes, she was. Everything she did was beautiful.

“Tell me more about it.”

“A run.”

“A run?” She said with raised eyebrows.

“Yes,” I answered her.

We went outside and Emily looked around. I gently stood behind her and placed a hand on her right shoulder.

“Hold in your breath and run with everything you've got. Maybe you'll feel something.”

Emily nodded, she held in a deep breath and paced forward, her dress dancing around her as she moved.

She kept running forward until I saw her stop and crouch down while breathing heavily.

My heart ached. I rushed towards her and leaned forward.

“Are you okay?” I gave her my hand to hold and she held it while simultaneously getting back up.

I wanted to hold her in my arms but I realised that it was better not to. I didn't have the right.

“What is going on?” I asked as Emily started coughing.

“Well… I felt something in my chest, it felt like my wolf.”

A small smile crossed my face but it was was less than enough. 

“Congratulations, Emily. But you need to take control of your wolf quickly.”

If she didn't, she could be taken advantage of my her husband, Jacob sadly. And I didn't want that to happen. I clenched my fists but I realized that I was useless and that if anything was to really happen, I would be unable to do anything for her.

If only she knew how willing I was but my strength was weak.

“What other ideas have you come up with?”

“It might seem a little cruel.”

I brought Emily to a waterfall and she looked at me with a complicated look on her face.

“Excuse me? What are you trying to do, Fayne.”

“Well, it's not that bad.”

She glared at me.

“Well, this,” I gestured to the waterfall, “Is meant to trigger your survival instincts.”

Emily sighed, turning away from me.

“You don't have to do it if you don't want to.” I said and she giggled slightly.

I turned to her and she said, “I'll do it. I don't have much time.”

I nodded, “I'll go get you in the water in case something happens.”

“I look forward to it…” Emily jumped off and into the water causing my heart to skip a beat. Was she going to be safe in there?

My breath hitched in my throat and I had to remind myself.

“She's a literal werewolf, she's going to survive it. She's far stronger than me.”

After a few moments and she didn't resurface, I jumped into the water without warning and saw her sinking into the water. I held my breath and grabbed her by the waist and lifted her until we were both ashore.

While breathing heavily, I asked, “Are you okay? Why didn't you come ashore.”

My heart was literally pounding and I felt scared as though Emily was going to be snatched away from me.

“My wolf… something happened to her.”

“What?” I asked, my breath heavy.
