Ruby's POV
"I couldn't watch those training sessions the last time," Carrick said to Ruby as they both walked towards the field. "I want to watch you showcase your strength now."
"Who told you the cure worked?"
"Do I need anyone to tell me that? I can feel your wolf, Ruby. I can sniff the strong scent in your nostrils," Carrick said and inhaled near her face, shutting his eyes in pleasure. "Your wolf is back, Ruby. Totally back."
That reminded Ruby of what had made her wolf crumble to that state. She'd been finding ways to adapt to her new life: living with a weak wolf, avoiding strenuous tasks that could require her to shift, and sleeping most of the day instead of training as the warrior she was. But now, she would have to return to the life she once lived.
Training hard. Shifting.
