It seemed Rory’s indignation was legitimate. But Ade felt… rejected? Maybe judged. She couldn’t tell exactly. So she got up, walked away.

Rory put a little distance between them, head falling in her hand.
“It’s because of Jacob, isn’t it?”
“How do you know?”
“He talked to me about the ring. I told him not to…”
Ade flinched.

It wasn’t a loud sorrow. More a quiet frustration. Why couldn’t she get on with the program? Everyone else seemed to have.

Rory walked in the bunker and Ade quickly wiped her tears away.
“You okay kiddo?”

And Adelyn was clamping her teeth together, staring at the ring.

“Of course that’s okay!”
Ade kissed him, trying to find the spark she’d once thought she had for him again. Reaching down to dig up any kind of emotion that wasn’t panic.

“Thank you Jake.”
As soon as her fingers were pointing down she felt the ring slip away.
“It’s a bit big so I might just keep it in my bedside drawer for now, if that’s okay with you?”

𝐘𝐄𝐒. Nyle seemed partial to the glinting stone on top of the ring.
So Ade let herself feel the wolf’s excitement and tugged the corners of her mouth up: “I do!”

Yet Ade herself didn’t have any coherent thoughts. Except the realisation, as Jake put the ring on her finger: “It looks like an engagement ring?”
“I think it was!” He smiled. “I figured it would be like a promise we’re making to each other.”

“Wait, Ade, I wanted to ask you something?”
Turning back around, she grabbed one hand with the other, trying not to fidget.
“I found this ring in my dad’s things… And I wanted you to have it.”
Her heart stopped.

He made a non-committal agreeing sound.
Jake had never been a big talker with her. Frustrating, but she guessed there were worst flaws.
And Ade jumped off the desk, her wolf still restless.

But any time Jacob was mentioned, the beast purred, happy.
And in his presence, it was even better.
“They think you’re in a cult!” She told him.

“See you tomorrow!” Adelyn threw the words at her classmate who usually walked home the same way she did.
Then do it all over again the next.
She liked the teachers and the subjects. She just couldn’t focus for long before…
𝐑𝐮𝐧? Nyle asked, gentler today.

𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐲. Adelyn’s wolf growled, from deep inside her.
She forced a normal smile on her face. Kept taking notes. Ignored the beast she called Nyle, who had a habit of trying to distract her from classes.

I'm also taking the opportunity to post in ten minutes intervals instead of 15, so that means I'll be starting the queues an hour later than usual!
See you at 1pm (BST) ✨

“You’re welcome. They were all looking forward to a night together and I think you are too.”
Tenderness and shared laughs carried them through the movies. And they couldn’t bring themselves to go home for the night, falling asleep in a heap. Happy.

Turning to Isi, Rory’s voice was low, unbelieving:“You convinced Cel?”
“I knew it meant a lot to you. Lou’s your best friend. She understood, eventually.”

And most importantly, little Ender Sigge Lopez-Howell. Looking like he was having the best time ever.

Including a few additions to the group: Wolfgang, who Isi had just texted, hoping to get a minute alone with him later. Jacob, who was stuck to Adelyn lately.

As they dried off, Isi gave Rory some comfortable clean clothes to wear. Then, put her dress back on and crinkled her nose at the heels she’d worn with it.
“You can put my trainers on, angel” Rory smiled, knowingly.
“Thank you!”

While they snuggled, a plan formed. She’d ask the stars once again. Enrol some help.
Yet as she pressed a kiss to Rory’s cheek, she wondered how long it would take for Rory’s whole body to lose it’s colour.

Isi didn’t have to ask who 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 were. But she didn’t recognise the woman’s name. “Who?”
“Remember Greg, the crazy old wolf who turned you? She was his wife. Studied stars and the moon…”
“I’ll ask Wolfgang. You, need to relax.”

“Yeah. I guess I didn’t expect it to continue even after I’d left that torture room. It took me by surprise. And I had some kind of flashback.”

The alpha’s face softened as she exhaled: “I was going to give my wolf a groom, today’s been tiring. And I saw my fur in the mirror.”
Isi stopped to listen.

Isi ended her sentence like a question and didn’t have to wait for Rory to smile, taking her hand to pull her into the water.
“Of course I do.” A pause as Isi sat behind her. “It’ll help me stay grounded as I explain, too…”
“You don’t 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 to” Isi offered.
