Ella's POV In the room, I sat at the desk, holding a pen and circling a date on a calendar. Just one more week, and Kevin and his Beta would leave the Blue River Pack. Kevin's recent unusual behavior made me uneasy. The longer he stayed in the Blue River Pack, the more vulnerable my identity became. I tried talking to my wolf, Lucy. Me: Lucy, are you there? Lucy: Yes, I'm here. Me: I feel uneasy. Have you noticed that Kevin has been acting strangely lately? Lucy: Hmm, in what way? My wolf seemed puzzled, just like me, not typically attuned to people's emotions. Me: I don't know if it's just my perception, but he's become considerate and gentle. These days, he's always eager to help me with tasks like cleaning the clinic, moving herbs, attending to patients, and... Lucy: And what?
