His sharp green eyes studied her, calm yet observant.

You’re out alone?” he asked casually.

Sarah hesitated before nodding. “Yeah. Just taking a walk.”

Cole didn’t pry. Instead, he glanced at Abby. “She’s been talking about you ever since that day.”

Abby nodded enthusiastically. “I told Uncle that you’re my hero! You saved me!”

Sarah’s heart softened. She crouched down, ruffling Abby’s hair. “You’re very brave yourself.”

Cole watched them, his expression unreadable.

Did you bring Alex with you?” he asked after a moment.

Sarah shook her head. “No. He’s with his father.”

Something flickered in Cole’s eyes, but he said nothing.

Abby tugged on Sarah’s sleeve. “Play with me?”

Sarah hesitated.

She barely knew Cole. Staying longer wasn’t necessary.

Sensing her hesitation, Cole spoke.

“She doesn’t have many friends,” he said quietly, lowering his gaze. “She’s shy. But for some reason, she really likes you.”

He paused, then added, “If you’re free, would you mind keeping her company for a little while?”

Sarah looked at Abby, who gazed at her with hopeful eyes.

And then she realized-

She didn’t want to be alone either.

“Alright,” she said softly.

Abby squealed in delight as they ran into the park.

They shifted into their wolf forms–Sarah’s sleek silver fur standing in contrast to Abby’s smaller, lighter

coat.

“We’re playing werewolf and hunter!” Abby declared. “I’ll be the werewolf, and you’ll be the hunter!”

Sarah smiled. “Deal.”

The game began.

Sarah gave Abby a small head start before chasing her across the field. The little girl was quick, but Sarah was faster.

A few times, she deliberately let Abby escape.

Abby laughed, her tail wagging happily as she managed to evade capture.

Then, she suddenly stopped and looked toward Cole.

“Uncle! Help me catch Sarah!”

Sarah blinked in surprise.

Cole raised an eyebrow. “You want me to join?”

Abby nodded eagerly.

Cole turned to Sarah, as if seeking her approval.

Sarah hesitated for only a second before nodding. “Why not?”

A small smirk tugged at Cole’s lips. “Alright then.”

Sarah bolted the moment the game restarted.

Cole was fast–far faster than she had anticipated.

His presence was overwhelming, his movements smooth and effortless.
