The fur trails up my neck. My bones crack under my muscles as blood drops down my nostrils.
As the foreign force takes over me, I find strength filling every pore of me.
“Layla. ” A familiar voice whispers inside my head.
Then, I am running towards the rundown building. I will find my Alex. A growl leaves my mouth.
The world fades into a meaningless background. I just want him. Or I will die with him.
“Luna! It’s collapsing! Don’t go there.”
I can’t wait to hear. I barge straight under the part of the building that’s falling. At the last moment, when the pillar keeping the whole roof gives in, I look up and find everything lowering towards me at the speed of light.
A sense of peace washes over me. If I can’t have him, I will go with him. Wherever he is, I will be with him.
My eyes close, as I accept my fate. This life has never let me be happy. It’s better to end it here now, than to live on and regret not being able to save him for the rest of my life.
In what I consider my last moments, my mind is still filled with his thoughts. He made me happy, even if shortly, he did. I was genuinely happy and it felt like someone was there for me.
It felt like I could rest without fearing any pain. It felt like I could breathe without feeling the weight of abuse over my lungs. Even if for a few days, I was truly alive.
The creak grows closer.
Suddenly, sparks rush down my spine. I am pushed away from under the falling roof.
It happens fast. I find myself far away from the building. It collapses with an explosive sound, leaving ashes flying everywhere again.
The sparks intensity. I breathe, and forget how to repeat it.
“Layla.” His hands are touching my arms.
My-arms? Why do they feel so different, and fur-filled?
I blink my eyes open. I am much shorter than the tall man standing in front of me.
It feels like I am dreaming. Maybe, I died and reunited with the one man I loved more than life.
“Layla. ” His eyes scream worry as he runs his knuckles down my-
Everything in me freezes when my eyes focus on the nose-or more like the snout.
“It’s you.” Alex whispers in awe. ” You are a white wolf.”
My heart threatens to beat out of my chest as I move around. It feels weird. I feel like my legs are jelly and I don’t know how to walk anymore, but some other force is helping me adjust to this change.
However, I can’t focus on that. Alex is right in front of me.
I throw myself into his arms, not caring how my new face hits him in the chest. He groans, but still rubs my head as if petting a cute animal.
Tears continue to fall. I am still so shocked, unable to believe that so many things happened in mere moments.
But, he is alive.
That’s all that matters to me.
I try to speak but a howl comes out of my mouth instead.
“Easy.” The voice whispers inside my head again. ” everything is new for us right now, so please be easy on yourself.”
The voice is sweet and wise. My heartbeat escalates some more.
Alex keeps petting my head, a look of amusement in his eyes.
“I knew you were strong. But you exceeded my expectations. With or without a wolf, you are a remarkable woman.” He whispers.
Relief fills me, and I find my muscles relaxing.
Out of nowhere, a few cars pull up behind Alex. My heart misses a beat as I step back and let him rise.
Instantly, several men step out of the car and start shooting at us. My eyes widen, as Alex uses some extraordinary speed and pulls us both away from the scene and behind a fallen part of the building.
Men emerge from the other side. I recognize Levi in the lead and the warriors behind him. Both parties start shooting each other and in moments-
The place becomes a scene of a gang war.
“Stay here, Layla. ” Alex orders and rushes away before I can stop him.
LAYLA
From behind the fallen wall, I observe the view. The shooting continues. My eyes flicker to the enemy side where I notice the familiar face.
Cleodore.
My heart misses a beat. He is rushing towards a car to escape this scene because Alex’s men are dominating the war.
‘Alex. He is getting away.’ I scream but the voice only resonates inside my head.
‘I know, Layla.’ He grunts, surprisingly answering me.
Surprise flashes across my nerves. Did he just talk inside my head? Is this what it feels like to mindlink?
Getting over the initial shock, I notice Alex shifting into a big black wolf and chasing down the racing black car. My heartbeat speeds up as I emerge from behind the rumble, ready to run behind him if necessary.
In the distance, before Cleodore’s car can turn right, several other cars block his path after rounding the curve.
Instantly, I recognize the cars. They belong to Theo’s Pack. He is here.
Confirming my doubt, Theo steps out as soon as the cars stop and block Cleodore’s path. With a screeching noise, Cleodore presses the brake.
It looks like a scene from a movie as they all surround Cleodore, closing on him from all sides.
Adrenaline pumps into my veins. The shooting around me stops as Levi overpowers the other men, kills the most, and makes the surrendering ones kneel on the ground.
Taking this chance, I make my way towards Alex. But he is already walking towards Cleodore’s car, just like Theo.
Pulling the door open, Theo grabs Cleodore’s collar and drags him out.
