Chapter 313: Unleashed Astrid's POV

As I lie there, hopelessness threatens to swallow me whole.

I can't shift, I can't fight. If only I still had my wolf-if only I were strong enough.

I'm so tired of feeling defenseless, of losing everything I care about.

Sobs choke me as I call out to my wolf, the part of me that has been silent for so long.

I haven't seen her nor heard from her since the accident. I'm not sure if I had lost her, but I needed her now. She has to come back.

The darkness pulls at me, a relentless tide that threatens to swallow me whole.

My vision fades, and every muscle feels like it's made of lead as I lie helpless on the sand.

The poison sinks its claws deeper, and for a moment, I think this might be the end.

But somewhere deep inside, I reach out, hoping, praying that my wolf will hear me.

"Please," I whisper, my voice cracking. "I need you. I know... I know I haven't seen you in three years, but

I need you now. Please, come back."

I cling to that hope, the hope that my wolf - my other half-will answer.

But instead of the familiar presence I long for, something else stirs in the depths of my soul.

It thrums with a power so intense, it feels like a storm roaring through my veins.
