Clare POV
The last of the rogue wolves disappeared behind the trees, so I shifted back into my human form. Adrenaline was still coursing through my body and I felt a shiver pass over me as the fur disappeared.
There was a noise behind me and I turned to see Leonel in his human form now as well. A smile spread across my face as I stared at him. I tried to convince myself that it must be due to the adrenaline coursing through my body, but it clearly wasn
t.
Leonel looked taken aback at my reaction to him, but after a moment, a smile spread slowly over his face as well. A warmth started to fill my chest.
Then it went cold. I stepped forward and grabbed his arm… that was covered in blood.
"Oh no, are you alright?" I asked in a voice that was at least an octave higher.
Leonel didn't say anything. He just stood there in silence, staring down at me. I locked eyes with him and struggled to keep my breathing regular.
