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.

The transition from one realm to another hadn't made me this sick since my very first time doing it. I had to take deep breaths in through my nose and out through my mouth just to keep myself from vomiting right where I was.

After a few moments, the dizziness finally began to ebb away, and I opened my eyes to find myself sitting on a moss-covered rock that Enzo had moved me to. Enzo was kneeling beside me, his gaze filled with worry as he rubbed my back in circles.

"You gonna be okay?" he asked softly.

I nodded, my voice barely more than a whisper. "Yeah," I said. "I'll be okay."
