~Darcy's POV~"Any time, Mani!" » I was in a fog. It was certain. Instead of blocking everything like I had done for years, I finally let everything in. My senses were painful and my movements became faster and more precise. They weren't as good as Mani's, but they were better than they would have been two weeks ago. Soon, the wolves around us began to shrink, leaving an even more panicked crowd behind. “They’re almost there!” I circled around just as Mani smashed the heads of two wolves, leaving them dazed enough to dig into their necks and part of their spines with each hand. Howls rang out as Dion's pack crossed the forest clearing. Mani's smile transformed into one of wild victory as Dion emerged from behind the trees. She jumped on a wolf that was in front of me, managing to eliminate it with a single swipe of her claws. "You're losing contact, hunter, aren't you?"

"Win...", "Don't call me that", I could see the anger and despair seeping out of her in the middle of a paper...a memory here. An all-consuming emotion there. The chase is one of the careers you can't get out of easily. If you don't stay busy...it can destroy you quickly." "I won't let it destroy you Lucie. We're supposed to share our pain or our memories. This is how we cope. This is how we deal with a past we're not so proud of. .That's why we're so good to each other, don't you see? You help me forget the darkness inside me... the pain that has surrounded me since the moment I lost my parents, since I took on the responsibility of Alpha so young You help me make better decisions for my pack, our pack” “Casey-”, “Lucie, it’s time” “Casey think about this-. », “You have three days. Make your choice. If it's me, you know where to find me. " " Choice ? What do you mean by choice? » “Accept me or reject me.”
