Im also doing some occupational therapy , and Im hoping the combination will help me recover my wolf more quickly .
Her eyes softened with genuine curiosity .
Do you feel its making a difference ? Have you noticed anything yet ? I hesitated , my face heating as I remembered the way I had growled at Alexander the other day an unintentional slip I hadnt quite managed to explain .
I shrugged , attempting to downplay my frustration .
Ive noticed a few small things , I admitted , but I still dont feel like Ive truly reconnected with my wolf yet .

My pulse quickened , and before I could stop myself , I plunged my hands into the water and splashed him .
