Chapter 0450

My wolf was rampaging in my mind, begging me to run, to be free, to give myself over to my natural side and forget myself and my worries for a while.

I was on the edge, so close to giving over. I needed to go to someone, but I didn’t know how. Nicholas had made me promise that I would go to him when I was feeling like this, but that wasn’t possible now.
