Life After the Storm

IVAN'S POV

As I am laying on the floor, I'm not sure how I got here or what the fuck is going on. I'm not sure what room I'm in. It doesn't look familiar at all. My head is pounding I go to touch my neck, fuck as I touch it I feel pain. Then a smell begins to overpower my nostrils and almost makes me weak in my knees. I go to look up, and that's when I see the most beautiful she-wolf that I have ever seen in my entire life.

She looks so beautiful with her green eyes and her long brown hair as she is looking at me. I see instant fear, not sure why she is so afraid of me. I look down at her body, loving her naked body.

I don't know what I'm going to do, fuck. How am I going to win her over? I guess I will be mateless if she doesn't come around damn it. I'm not sure

mate. Who has been hurting my mate? Was it really me that hurt her? I only smell me and her, and another smell of a child. What if all that she has said is true?
