(LOCKE)
Corrine has to be at the palace in the morning, so I accompany her and Finn there. My son is still distrustful of me, but I can see the curiosity in his eyes whenever he looks at me. I didn't sleep last night.
Corrine set up another bedroom for me, but I spent the night in the hallway outside her door. I wanted to be as close to her as possible because, soon enough, I may have to leave her here.
I catch my mate stealing a glance at me as we leave the house. Since I don't fit in her small car, we decide to make our way to the woods, where we'll shift and run to the palace. When she shifts into her wolf form, I can't help but admire her. She was always beautiful, but her wolf has also matured over the years. Its fur is silkier and healthier; its body fuller.
