KAEL SHADOWBORN Aria is still sitting across from my desk when I start talking. I don’t even know how or when I start. I just start. I don't pace or stand at the window like I usually do. I just sit, and she notices, I can tell by the way her eyes track me, because I never just sit. I'm always moving, always doing something with my hands and staying three steps ahead of whatever conversation is happening. My wolf is always so restless. But not tonight. Everything just slowed in my head. Especially everything she told me about her past, and parents. Something in me just settles and I feel a need to share mine too. My wolf is also surprisingly so calm. It’s almost like he’s purring. He’s just so calm and relaxed. Since that day Aria told me about the witch, he’s just been really calm. H
