Nikolas POV

I'm looking at the woman next to me on the bed,  she has been sweating nonstop as her body tries to adjust to what's going to be her new normal.

" You were always so innocent, Aviana," I caress her hair softly, her eyes are fixed up on the ceiling, they keep changing from jade to a darker forest green as she shakes vigorously.

Ava is innocent and I hate myself for changing, now if she survives the transition, she will be reborn as a wolf.

It's against the law, I know but my mate will come first, the law the damned.

A small smile makes its way...
