CASSIE'S POVI received an alert from the nurse minutes before Felice arrived at the clinic. Knowing that she was coming made me very anxious, as I knew that the officers would soon be there as well. I still didn't have a concrete plan, if I had a plan at all.No one knew about my current condition except the nurse. I didn't even know his name, but I was truly grateful for what little he did for me. With each minute of waiting, I became even more anxious. It had been a long time since I had spoken to her, I just listened. I wondered why I had never dared to talk to her during all the visits I made. Maybe I was the problem. Maybe I didn't trust people the way I should have. Both Jack and Felice deserved my trust. If I were Jack, I would have kept a secret like that too, for that, I couldn't blame him, although every time I remembered the dialogues with Susan I felt more and more that there was nothing to forgive in Jack. He was a good person.Felice opened my bedroom door in the most d
JACK'S POVWolves communicate through images. As wolves, Kurt and I would just show images to each other, and most of the time we could only do this with what was around or near us. In the beginning, we were even able to share thoughts of humans, like memories. Kurt had already shown me things about Felice, and I had shown him things about Cassie. As the days went by, the tendency of human thoughts faded away. Like the rest of the situation, I didn't know if Kurt was going through the same changes. I was worried by the day.When Evan's visits stopped, Kurt and I began to migrate more territory. We even crossed a few avenues into other woods. When we realized that we were close to places we knew, we moved away. We had to forget our past. Cassie had never left my mind. Whatever happened, she always appeared again. I knew that even in that animal form, I would still remember her. I had forgotten the flavors of everything I consumed, like pizza and coffee, but her, I couldn't forget. Occa
CASSIE'S POVFelice was still processing the information when I told her about Kurt. I didn't expect her to believe or accept it right away. I expected her to believe me because I needed her, as did Kurt.“Are you saying that Kurt is a wolf? That doesn't make sense,” she said. “Are you okay? Don't get me wrong, I want to believe you, Cassie,” she told me. I felt the sincerity in her words.“I can't prove it to you yet, Felice. I doubt what I know and what I've seen, but I can't deny it anymore. There is a witch in the story, and she came to see me and showed me some things that confirmed this,” I told her. “Yes, there is a witch too, excuse the confusion. I've been dreaming too, and all this has not let me live in a vacuum anymore. I want to go after Jack.”“He's an outlaw, Cassie,” she told me. “I understand you're worried, but he's a wanted man, and he's missing, no one knows where he is.”“Kurt is missing, Felice. Don't you want to know where he is?”, I asked her, trying to convinc
JACK'S POVKurt still hadn't returned. It had been a while, so I began to think that he wouldn't show up anymore. At least that's what I assumed. Although he disappeared that night, sometimes I would wake up again and regain control. It only lasted for a very short time. I didn't have that much control. I was always well-fed. At least I made sure I at least had a sense of where I was. Still far from humans, I mean, far enough.I used to show up only in the morning. During the night, I didn't come back. My fears were still about killing someone. As I already knew, my wolf was quite capable of this, I didn't doubt anything.Once I smelled a wolf approaching. I was invisible inside my wolf, feeling and observing everything, but not making any decisions. The smell came closer and closer to me, until finally, it appeared in front of me. Evan was in front of me. I watched the gray wolf take Evan's human form. His hair had grown long and his physique remained the same. He didn't look so happ
CASSIE'S POVFelice had more stamina than I did. We ran through the woods for so long that we reached an area that had no signal. I was thinking that maybe this was not such a good idea, but my thoughts were on Jack, and I was certain that Felice's were on Kurt.We didn't know what we were looking for, we just knew that we were. I didn't know that area, and neither did Felice. We just kept walking for a while longer, eating the foods that we knew were not harmful to our health. We spotted some wild animals, but still harmless. In the background, we were waiting for Susan, so we could know where to go, although Susan didn't have a clear view of where they should be.“Do you think we'll be able to save them?”, Felice asked me, while we were still walking.“I hope there's still time to do that, to be honest. I feel like something is wrong, I can't explain it very well, but I feel like something is happening,” I replied to her.“So you feel it too?” she told me. “I was worried that I was
The truck had arrived in a sort of warehouse. There were a few gray, empty rooms. The place was quiet and there were some men already waiting for the truck. The rangers were present, the same ones who had taken care of the incidents involving wolves. This was not a good sign. When the truck arrived, one of the guys got down and went to meet the rangers.“How many did you guys get?” one of the guards asked. “Hopefully more than the other times.”“We found three gray wolves, boss,” he replied, showing respect to the man in front of him. “They're back there, sedated. Would you like to see them?” he asked. Two guards then approached the truck, where the other boys got off and opened the back, revealing the wolves, unconscious.“Do you think they're too wild?” the guard asked, taking a closer look.“This one here seemed more aggressive than the others,” the boy replied, pointing at Jack. “That one seems more docile. That other one showed up later,” he continued saying, pointing to Evan and
The guys from the second division of the New Shadow advertising company could not stay more than two weeks away from appearing in the CEO's office. Whether it was for a failure to deliver a job, or something similar. The fact was that there was always something to be solved, especially since they had a rival company called Lightning. Both companies were always competing with each other since they were in the same department and the same building. Unfortunately, something happened that drastically changed the future of both companies. It was at a get-together between the two, that a crime changed everything.When everyone at NS learned about the party to unite the companies, they decided that it would not be just any party, but an opportunity to put hatred aside and create strong and successful alliances.Cassie was able to convince her boss to have the party, although no one knew how she had done it, and they ruled out any sexual way since she had one of the most beautiful faces in th
Adding the two companies, New Shadow and Lightning, there were 1200 active employees in total. It was impossible not to have something to advertise in that place, and it was impossible for the two companies not to be known throughout the city. Cassie was one of the people that everyone tried to recruit, and she refused everyone because she didn't have time to deal with many problems, and the work she had was already taking up too much of her time.The theme of the party was still open. There was a poll among the employees to decide what would be the best theme.While arranging his work material in his briefcase, Kurt was talking to his partner, Jack. "Which option and theme did you vote for?" he asked."I didn't vote, we won't, you know that you know why," Jack replied, also tidying up his material. "I know we should participate, it's important and all, but we can't," he commented, as he closed his work case. "We're not in the condition to break the camera or anything else that can be
