Elena's POV
With Justin's infectious laughter guiding our steps, we continued walking into the woods, the canopy of trees casting dappled shadows on the forest floor. The air hummed with excitement as we sought a secluded spot to revel in the joy of shapeshifting.
Justin's eyes glinted with anticipation as he eagerly transformed into a playful young wolf, darting among the trees with unbridled enthusiasm. His infectious energy was a beacon of pure joy in the tranquil woods.
As I attempted to transform, a stumble led to an unexpected fall, right into Killian's steady embrace. Time seemed to stand still as our eyes met, a silent exchange laden with unspoken emotions.
For a fleeting moment, an unspoken understanding passed between us, a connection that spoke louder than words. But as quickly as the moment unfolded, Killian helped me to my feet, a subtle shift in his demeanor indicating a newfound distance.
