Chapter 20: The Checkup

Serena made it back to her clothes and shifted into her human form before anyone saw her. She was glad that Logan hadn‘t tried to pursue her. It was too complicated to face him alone when in her wolf form. She went straight home and straight to bed, thoroughly tired from her run, as wonderful as it had been!
