Ethan's beast was traumatized by Stone's relentless poking; it could feel its fur thinning from the endless tests.
Ethan's expression was so dark, that one could see icy mist exuding from his body.
He sat and watched Stone and administrator Dean, conversing animatedly in words he didn't understand as they circled his beasts.
His throat was raw from answering their endless questions. Finally, Dean spoke words Ethan had been desperate to hear: "I have to report this to the leader. You can leave—but expect another visit from us."
Without hesitation, he stepped out, his wolf following closely behind.
Stone's reluctant gaze bore into the wolf's back, making it shudder and pick up speed, pressing closer to Ethan.
As they walked through the hallway, the other scientists stopped what they were doing and stared in awe at the majestic beast.
