Arielle looked up quickly. Her eyes met with sharp red eyes in the reflection of the surface of the lake water. She paused for a moment to process what she saw.
Arielle was afraid that what she saw was another hallucination. But gently, the big wolf rested its head on Arielle's shoulder. The girl smiled widely.
"I thought I was just hallucinating," Arielle said quietly.
The girl turned around and then cupped the face of the wolf in front of her. Arielle took off her blanket and draped it over the animal's body. Slowly the wolf's size decreased, and its black fur began to fade slowly.
Arielle continued to pay attention to Ronan's transformation back into the human form. Fortunately, she brought a blanket with her to cover the man's body, who was not wearing any clothes.
Ronan took a deep breath. He Arielle's forehead with his. The tips of their noses touched each other. Ronan grabbed Arielle's face to get closer to him.
