#Chapter77
My feet halt. I steadily spin, taking in all of my surroundings.
/"Adam?/"
Shadows move around me like the ghosts of past girls that wandered into the woods at night. I swallow, knowing that if I stand still, my father may appear.
/"Adam?/" I call again, louder.
I step and turn and he's there. Those yellow eyes that once haunted me are here again, and behind them is the large, black body of a wolf. My chest falls as all air draws out from my lungs. /"Adam?/" I ask again. /"W-What are you—where have you been?/"
It doesn't feel like I'm talking to him. I never felt close to this side of him, not like I do to his human form. Something about the wolf has always unsettled me.
/"Come home,/" I say, my voice smaller. /"Please./"
The wolf steps then steps again, and I watch as it circles me.
