Jerome woke up with a sweaty body, his pupils alternating between red and hazel. His inner wolf groaned and howled in pain as the agony overwhelmed him. A mysterious, soothing voice whispered in his mind, giving him strength.
His agony lasted only a few moments before his body temperature returned to normal and his eyes stabilized to a mesmerizing hazel. Using magic, Jerome removed his sweat and changed his wet clothes to new ones.
No longer feeling sleepy, Jerome decided to go for a walk, only to find his brother waiting for him in front of the bedroom door, smiling broadly.
"Did you meet mother?" Lionel asked.
Jerome remembered what his father had said: 'She should be here, but knowing you are going to the Beast World, I have to meet you.'
"No. I didn't."
