Enzo and I stumbled out of the swirling vortex of colors into the quiet forest of

Mountainview. The moonlit sky and the familiar scent of pine trees should have been a relief, but it wasn't. Instead, my stomach roiled inside of me and my head spun, threatening to send the contents of my stomach sprawling across the forest floor.

I wavered where I stood, gripping my head. Stepping through portals while pregnant was no joke, and at that moment, I almost wondered if I had made a mistake by leaving the werewolf realm. But I couldn't stay, not after what I had learned. I wanted to go home.

Enzo, noticing my struggle, wrapped his strong arm around my waist and steadied me. "Easy there, my love," I heard his voice say gently through the storm of sickness. "I've got you."

I clung to him, my head spinning. I felt him guiding me somewhere, but I was too out of it to notice where he was taking me.
