The sound her wolf makes has me shaking at the knees, but I stand my ground. She's fighting it with everything she's got. The wolf starts shifting back into its skin and the painfilled growls turn into screams. As soon as she's back in her skin, I pounce on her. I pin her to "I hate you!" she growls trying to claw at me. Her eyes are bloodshot from all the crying. Her short hair is sticking out in every direction. She looks almost feral.

All that rage and pain are on full display and she can care less who sees it. A testament to how well she holds herself together in spite of everything she's had to endure.

She knew exactly what I was doing as well. She taunted him and he didn't seem all that interested in the easy kill.

Her skin is stained red where I bled on her. I laugh sitting back because I know these marks are here to stay. We will both wear my shame for all
