I was fully in control. My wolf and I  had an understanding when it came to  control. She didn't push my boundaries  unless I needed her to. And yes, it still  felt weird talking about my wolf as if  she wasn't part of me.

"Can you change back?".

I didn't want to. At least if I was like  this then I could hide for a little longer  and I didn't need to talk to anyone. Did I  feel bad for going off on one at Alanna?  A little but I still stand by what I said.

A sigh fell from his lips as he ran a  hand down his face. I still couldn't get  over how good my eyesight was in wolf  form. I could see for miles. I caught their  scent and then I heard them.

I was on my feet baring my teeth  without hesitation."It's okay Leah it's Carter and Rocco".

"Bear". Carter gave me a no d beforeturning his attention towards Jake."I  take it she won't shift back?".

"She won't let me in. I've tried but herwolf is blocking it".

Won't let him in? In where?

"Could always force her". Roccoadded.

A low growl fell from my lips as l  snapped my teeth together.

"Or not". He held his hands up whenhe noticed Jake's glare."Sorry Alpha l  shouldn't have said that. I'll just be over  here out the way".

He didn't lose his temper, didn't snap  and that surprised me. Jake was all  about dominance and submission andyet he was as cool as a cucumber. Was  it because I was pregnant?

Oh.

"She will shift back when she's ready.You maybe want to check in with  Alanna before you start your patrol".

Carter frowned before his eyes  landed on mine. "You don't need to  involve yourself Leah. Everything is  okay, I'm okay".

I whined. I told myself I wasn't getting  involved but I couldn't help it. He  deserved nothing but the best and right  now he was getting nothing. It wasn't  fair and I didn't think it was right.

We sat out in the woods for at least  an hour. I was shattered and hungry  and my first instinct was to go find a  rabbit to eat. Jake was next to merunning his hands through my fur every  so often.

I licked his cheek. I wanted to go  home.

"You can shift back. I've got a t-shirtyou can wear". He disappeared for a  few seconds coming back with a bag.

I shifted and he helped me into his t-shirt pulling it over my head and down  my body. I felt awful with what  happened. I lost control so easily;I  treated Alanna badly.

We walked home in silence. I couldn't  tell what he was thinking. I wasn't sure  if he was angry or not by my actions. As  we reached our backyard, he grabbed a  hold of my hand and we stopped.

"I lost it and I'm sorry but I'm not sorryfor what I said"."Baby, are you okay?". He asked.
