I rubbed my eyes and my mouth opened in a yawn as 1 stirred and stretched in bed. I had been lying on my side, facing the wall but when I turned, something caught my eye and 1 quickly sat up in bed. My heart began to race as I saw the dark figure of the mutant beast standing at the entrance watching me with red, glowing eyes. "Ryn." It slurred. "No! Stay away from me." I shook my head, as panic seized me.

beast crouched on all fours, baring its sharp teeth, ready to jump on me and that's when I jerked awake in bed. "Ryn, wake up

Someone was touching me and in a blind form of attack, I reached out and scratched the person. He grabbed my hand and held it still and that's when I realized it was Prince Theon. "It's okay. You're safe." He said, and I noticed something on his cheek. "You're bleeding." I stated.

He gently let my hand go and brought out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off. "I'm fine. I healed." He replied, going to the trash can but my focus was now on my hands, they had grown into full blown claws. I blinked in surprise, feeling a mixture of fear, excitement and worry. This . This was the first time in years that my claws were coming out. Was I getting my wolf back?

I remembered my ex-Alpha's words, "Keep your wolf on a leash or you're going to regret it and ever since then, I hadn't been able to shift into my wolf or transform properly. I had no idea what he did to me to stunt my transformation, all I knew was that I couldn't let my wolf take control at all.

Now I wonder if this change was a good thing or not.

"Are you okay?" Theon asked, drawing my attention.

I raised my hands to show him my claws. "I can't seem to retract them." Theon shoved his hands in his pocket, observing my hands. "You're still in fight or flight mode. So whatever you saw in your nightmare triggered your protective response. You need to find a way to tell your nervous system to calm down." "How?

"Take a deep breath. In and out."

I obeyed and let him guide me and soon after my claws retracted. I stared at my normal hands in awe. "Thank you." I smiled, "and sorry about your cheek. I didn't mean to hurt you,

"I know, I'm just glad you're okay." He said. "On behalf of the center, I really apologize for what happened. Coach Dutton will be dealt with accordingly."

I froze at the mention of the man who tried to rape me, and traumatize me in one day. I also remembered how he had. snuck into my room and planted his hand over mouth, threatening me not to say a word about what he did to anyone Apparently, he was related to the King's right hand man and had the power to ruin my life.

"What?" I jerked slightly, then I cleared my throat. "I mean, yes, your Highness."

"I asked if Coach Dutton did something else to you." Theon asked. "I heard he came to see you yesterday evening"

I looked away from his piercing blue gaze. "No. He didn't." I shook my head.

I felt the weight of Prince Theon's stare but I refused to meet his eyes. "Whatever it is, you can trust me."

I forced a smile on my face and looked him in the eye. "Tut involving him in another drama was selfish. Besides, I couldn't get past the fact that I was just some project to the Prince and his interest in me was solely based on his fascination to fix broken girls.

Just then, my eyes landed on something opposite me. "Are those flowers?" I asked.

No one had ever gotten flowers for me in my entire life and now I was angry. First, he's taking me to lunch, stalking me, doing a blood tranfusion, giving me his shirt, and now buying me flowers. I hate that he was becoming my "first" in to him. Still, I collected the flowers politely and brought them close to my nostrils, J "They You're welcome. Are smell really nice" I frowned. "Thank

Are they your favourites."

I swallowed. How do I let him know that I don't have favourites because I have never been in a position to receive flowers? "1 don't have favourites." I replied, truthfully. "I like anything that smells good." "Including ding food." Theon said and when I raised my eyes to meet his, I found a ghost of a smile on his face. "Yea. I
