>>Adam
I waited for Esra near the Dryad in my wolf form since I went for a run before coming here. She came to see me in her raven form, shifting back as she neared.
“Adam.” An expression of worry filled her as she came near, “What happened to you?” Perhaps this is what I fell for. Her genuine concern? Or Perhaps her voice? So soothing it calmed my entire being?
“Nothing unusual.” I could tell she didn’t like my answer, but gladly she decided not to hit me since I was already in a poor condition.
“I’ll call the nymphs.” She stood up.
“Don’t.” I stopped her. My purpose for visiting her this time was different. I shifted back into my human form.
“Why not!?” She was getting more and more anxious as she kept her eyes on me and I didn’t want that, it made me happy but I couldn’t have that. It was wrong.
“It’s just, I came to say goodbye.”
That’s right. This has to end. Esra’s not my mate, I really wish she was but she isn’t.
“Why? What do you mean by that?”
