I stared at Zale as he raged against himself, throwing himself against the cave walls. He was fighting himself, to keep me safe. Every once in a while, he would pull himself away from the cave walls, and I knew that the wolf had control in that moment.
A part of me wanted to know what he was going to do, what the wolf was going to do. He wouldn’t kill me. But then what did he want from me?
Zale turned from the cave wall, and my eyes locked on his.
Was I staring at Zale, or the wolf? I had no idea. I still released my pheromones, I still tried to calm him. Even though I knew that it wasn’t doing anything, I still gave everything that I had in me to give.
Zale stalked towards me then, and I knew that it was the wolf coming to me. I braced myself, though I had no idea what to expect. But before Zale could reach me, before anything could get to me, he jumped all of a sudden.
I watched in helpless fear as Zale threw himself into the lake.
