    It wasn''t an easy thing to carry, but I kept the thought locked away inside me. The chilly breeze seeped through the window, brushing against my skin with its icy touch and unspoken words. I closed my eyes to savor the sensation when suddenly, the door to my room swung open, jolting me from my reverie. I couldn''t see who had entered, but I could definitely feel someone nearby.


    I let out a heavy sigh, my gaze flitting around the room until something caught my attention-a shadow darting past my door. "Hey, who the heck was that?" I wondered. The full moon illuminated the night, and when I noticed the shadow resembled a werewolf, I wasn''t too startled. But who could have transformed and wanted to frighten me? My thoughts trailed off as I caught sight of it again. "Who are you, and why are you lurking in the shadows?" I growled, frustration bubbling up.


    Just then, I heard footsteps approaching. "Sheh? Why did you transform? You scared the life out of me!"


    "That''s because I miss you, you jerk!" she eximed, rushing toward me and enveloping me in a tight embrace, our lips meeting in a fervent kiss.


    As our lips separated, I pulled Sheh into a tight embrace, feeling her warmth against me. The fear and tension that had gripped us faded away, reced by a deep yearning. "I''ve missed you too," I murmured, my voice barely rising above the rapid beat of my heart.


    Sheh drew back slightly, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "I couldn''t stand being away from you any longer," she confessed, her voice quivering. "The full moon awakened the wolf within me, but it also revealed a truth - I can''t imagine my life without you."


    A smile spread across my face as I gently traced her features with my fingertips. "You don''t have to worry about that. You''re home now."


    Her eyes softened, and she leaned into my caress. "I''ve been trying to find a way to master my transformations," she dered, determinationcing her words. "I won''t let it drive a wedge between us again."


    My heart swelled with affection and pride. "We''ll tackle it together," I vowed.


    As the night unfolded, the cool breeze was reced by the warmth of our reunion. The shadows around us faded, and under the glow of the full moon, our love radiated more brightly than ever.


    Yet, as we stood entwined, an unsettling sensation crept over me, as if something lurked in the darkness.


    I tightened my grip on Sheh. "We''re not alone, are we?" I asked softly.


    Sheh''s gaze darted toward the window, her expression shifting to one of concern. "I''m not sure," she replied quietly, "but I have a feeling our reunion is just the beginning of uncovering a whole new set of mysteries." With that, the shadows seemed to stretch longer, the darkness thrumming with an eerie energy.


    A wave of energy coursed through me, its source a mystery, yet it signaled that someone was nearby. "Sheh, hide behind the wardrobe; I''ll secure the door," I instructed, scanning the room anxiously until I reached the entrance. I quickly shut it and turned back to Sheh with a swift stride.


    "Hey Sheh, you cane out now. I wouldn''t want Alpha Christian to discover that I''m enjoying some time with his wife," I said, a teasingugh escaping my lips, though I was serious. "Let''s make this night ours."


    Sheh slipped out from behind the wardrobe, a mischievous grin lighting up her face. "You''re loving this, aren''t you?" she murmured, her eyes glinting with yful intrigue.


    I nodded, drawing her closer. "Every second with you is a treasure."


    Just then, heavy footsteps resonated outside the door, each step deliberate and menacing. Sheh''s expression shifted to one of panic.


    "Christian," she silently mouthed, her voice barely a whisper.


    Instinctively, I moved quickly, guiding Sheh toward the window and pushing it open. "Go, now," I urged, assisting her as she climbed onto the fire escape.


    As she slipped into the shadows below, my heart raced. The doorknob rattled, and I quickly shut the window, trying to appear casual.


    Alpha Christian filled the doorway, his formidable presence exuding tension. "Where is she?" he growled, his gaze sweeping the room.


    I shrugged, feigning indifference. "Haven''t seen her."


    Christian''s eyes narrowed dangerously. "Don''t act stupid. I can smell her."


    I held my ground, meeting his fierce stare. "Maybe she was here earlier, but she''s gone now."


    Christian''s jaw tightened, fists clenching at his sides. "You''re pushing my limits."


    Suddenly, a distant howl echoed through the night, Sheh''s signal. I fought back a grin.


    "I think your wife is calling for you," I replied, my voice steady.


    Christian''s eyes zed with fury, and with a snarl, he turned and stormed out, leaving me to ponder the lurking dangers of the night.


    As I listened to his retreating footsteps, an unsettling feeling washed over me-our secret was hanging by a thread.


    I have consistently cautioned her. I hurried out of the room because I need to speak with Alpha Christian to ensure he doesn''t misunderstand the situation. I''ll persuade him that his wife only approached me for help.


    I rushed down the hallway, intent on stopping Alpha Christian before he could act on his doubts. His heavy footsteps echoed behind me, prompting me to move faster.


    As I rounded a corner, I spotted his broad shoulders. "Christian, hold on!" I shouted.


    He turned sharply, his eyes filled with a mix of fury and pain. "What do you want?" he snarled.


    I stepped closer, raising my hands in a calming manner. "We need to talk, Christian. I believe there''s been a misunderstanding."


    His face darkened further. "A misunderstanding? I can smell her on you, and you expect me to think it''s just a coincidence?"


    I inhaled deeply. "Sheh came to me for assistance, Christian. That''s the truth. She''s been struggling with her transformations, and I''ve been helping her learn to manage them." "How? Sheh has been transforming for years! You''re lying!"
