As they stepped through onto the other side of the portal, the cool air was a welcome feeling as a wave of nausea washed over both Ann and Adam.
Lexi steadied Ann as her legs wobbled unsteadily and as her father stepped through the portal he chuckled at Adam's suddenly pale face.
He clapped him on the back warmly and grinned, revealing a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth.
"You get used to the sensation after a while... although I really wasn't sure how badly it would affect you wolves." He added thoughtfully before snorting. "It could be worse, at least you came through in one piece."

Steven has been with you for centuries now hasn't he? Sounds like you're questioning his abilities." Lexi giggled as Steven raised an eyebrow.
