Week six of transformation, and Maya was starting to understand what "losing your mind" actually meant.
Everything was too much. Too loud. Too bright. Too intense.
She could hear conversations happening three floors away. Could smell what everyone in the estate had eaten for breakfast. Could feel the texture of air currents moving across her skin like physical touch.
And the emotions.....god, the emotions were overwhelming.
Pack bonds hummed at the edges of her consciousness like background music she couldn't turn off. She could sense the Alphas' locations without seeing them, could feel the general emotional state of every wolf in a hundred-yard radius.
It was fascinating and terrifying and she was pretty sure she was going insane.
"Breathe," Brynn said from across the training room. "You're not insane. You're just overstimulated. Your wolf senses are coming online before your human brain has learned to filter them."
