Running my fingers through it, I’m enticed by her beautiful curls. “You know. I used to come here almost every day before you arrived. One day, Arsenal, Grey and I were hunting with the rest of the pack, and I was stalking a deer when it scented me and ran off. I followed it for a while until I stumbled upon the lagoon. It looked so peaceful. And for the first time, I felt free. I swam for hours and laid in the grass, imagining that I was a normal boy. Sometimes, I’d imagine that I had a mother and father. Then, the Institute’s alarm would go off, and reality would invade my fantasies.” I whisper against her silken hair as I hold her tighter and gaze down solemnly.
