Islammed Aaron down onto the mat, pinning him into place with a snarl. Agitation coursed through me as I looked at his golden eyes. I didn’t know what was wrong with me, but I needed to get myself under control. I was upset and anxious.

It felt like I needed to shift and run, but I had already done that this morning and the feeling was only growing stronger as the day went on. I leaned back, sitting on my ass as I looked at the brick walls of the training room. The mat was soft beneath me, its flat, dark blue surface giving a little, letting me sink into the thin cushions. Planting my feet onto the ground, I braced my forearms on my knees, gasping for air.

Aaron propped himself up onto his elbow, his tattooed skin was slick with sweat. “You okay, bro?”

“Yeah, sorry. I think I am, I’m just- there are a lot of feelings that I’m not used to.” I said.

“Do you think it’s the bond?” Aaron asked, rolling onto his stomach. He planted his hands on to the ground and pushed up onto his knees. Kneeling beside me. “Charity has been… Worried and I know it’s her and not me. Could that be what you are feeling?”

“I think so. It was worry and a bit of anxiety, but I figured when I got to talk to her later today I could maybe take her out just the two of us to talk about everything that’s happened.” I dragged my fingers through the curly mess of my hair. During training, it had come loose and I hadn’t bothered to pull it back up. Now it was damp with sweat, hanging around my shoulders and sticking to my skin. “I just, I don’t know how to fix it if she’s running away. My wolf wants me to hunt her with the others but that’s not what
