I waited for Davina to return the next day, but she didn’t come in the morning like she normally did. My body was healing, albeit slower than I wanted it to. My bones creaked as I moved, and even walking was painful. I forced myself to pace the room, trying to get my legs to cooperate the way I wanted them to.

It made me realize the difference my wolf side actually made. I may not have been as strong of a werewolf as others, but I was still stronger than any human without those wolf senses. Well, I was when my body wasn’t broken.

All I knew was that I couldn’t go back to that room where the council tortured me. I couldn’t go back to them, because I wasn’t sure if I was strong enough to make it out a second time.

There was life as we walked around the village, getting an idea of what Cain had built here. There were families and children. There was life and happiness.
