Eu procurava em minhas memórias pela noite anterior, tentando entender como havia parado aqui enquanto tentava enrolar o lençol em meu corpo. Parei quando percebi que deixaria meu parceiro de cama totalmente nu. Eu me recordava de ter dito repetidamente: 'Sou sua companheira!' Com cuidado, saí da cama para procurar roupas. Tentei ser tão silenciosa quanto possível para não acordar o estranho. Seu cheiro estava impregnado em mim, em tudo na verdade. Rico e masculino, cada vez que eu respirava, sentia como se estivesse sendo envolvida pela floresta, com toques de madeira e uma especiaria quente que eu não conseguia identificar. Eu queria voltar para a cama ao lado dele e nunca mais sair. Minha loba, Rayne, resmungava em minha mente: 'Não deveríamos partir! Ele é o nosso companheiro!'

"Siapa kamu?" Saya terbangun dengan terkejut, bingung dan sakit di seluruh tubuh. Tubuh laki-laki berat terbaring di samping saya---kami berdua telanjang kecuali seprai yang menutupi tubuh kami. Saya mencari ingatan malam sebelumnya, mencoba memahami bagaimana saya bisa berakhir di sini sambil mencoba membungkus seprai di sekitar tubuh saya. Saya berhenti ketika saya menyadari bahwa saya akan meninggalkan pasangan tidur saya telanjang total. Saya mengingat diri saya berkata berulang kali, "Aku pasanganmu!" Saya perlahan-lahan turun dari tempat tidur untuk mencari pakaian. Saya mencoba sebisanya agar tidak membangunkan orang asing itu. Aromanya menyelimuti saya, menyelimuti segala sesuatu sebenarnya. Kaya dan maskulin, setiap kali saya bernapas saya merasa seakan sedang dikelilingi oleh hutan dengan sentuhan kayu dan rempah hangat yang tidak bisa saya namai. Saya ingin merangkak kembali ke tempat tidur di sampingnya dan tidak pernah pergi. Serigala saya, Rayne, bergumam di kepala saya, "Kita tidak seharusnya pergi! Dia adalah pasangan kita!"

"¿Quién eres?" Desperté de repente, desorientada y con dolor por todas partes. Un cuerpo masculino pesado yacía junto a mí, ambos estábamos desnudos excepto por la sábana que cubría nuestros cuerpos. Busqué en mis recuerdos de la noche anterior, intentando averiguar cómo había llegado aquí mientras trataba de envolverme en la sábana. Me detuve cuando me di cuenta de que dejaría totalmente desnudo a mi compañero de cama. Me recordé a mí misma diciendo una y otra vez, "¡Soy tu compañera!" Me levanté con cuidado de la cama para buscar ropa. Intenté ser lo más silenciosa posible para no despertar al extraño. Su aroma estaba por todo mí, en realidad por todo. Rico y masculino, cada vez que respiraba sentía como si estuviera rodeada por el bosque con matices de madera y una especia cálida que no podía nombrar. Quería volver a la cama a su lado y nunca salir. Mi loba, Rayne, gruñó en mi cabeza, "¡No deberíamos irnos! ¡Él es nuestro compañero!"

« Qui es-tu ? » Je me suis réveillée d'un sursaut, désorientée et endolorie de partout. Un corps masculin lourd était allongé à côté de moi --- nous étions tous les deux nus, à l'exception d'un drap couvrant nos corps. Je recherchais dans ma mémoire les événements de la nuit précédente, essayant de comprendre comment j'avais atterri ici tout en tentant d'enrouler le drap autour de mon corps. Je me suis arrêtée en me rendant compte que je laisserais mon compagnon de lit totalement dénudé. Je me suis souvenue m'être répétée sans cesse : « Je suis ta compagne ! » Je me suis dégagée doucement du lit à la recherche de vêtements. J'ai essayé d'être aussi silencieuse que possible pour ne pas réveiller l'étranger. Son parfum était partout sur moi, sur tout en fait. Riche et masculin, chaque fois que je respirais, j'avais l'impression d'être enveloppée par la forêt avec des notes de bois et une épice chaude que je ne pouvais nommer. Je voulais ramper à nouveau dans le lit à côté de lui et ne jamais partir. Ma louve, Rayne, grognait dans ma tête : « Nous ne devrions pas partir ! C'est notre compagnon ! »
