His cheeks were flushed a light shade of red from the alcohol he had been drinking, and his eyes had that look in them that screamed that he wantedagain. "Oh, I will," he murmured, pressing a soft kiss to my temple before I wove my way out of the room.
As I made my way to the stairs, the sounds of the party began to fade. I just needed five minutes alone to gather myself and take sdeep breaths, and then I would be right as rain.

I nodded, forcing a smile. "Just overwhelmed. It's been a long night.' She squeezed my arm gently. "I get it. But if you ever need to talk..." "Thanks, Jess," I whispered, touched by her genuine concern. "I think I just need a moment alone." The festive noise from the party grew fainter as I made my way upstairs. When I finally reached our bedroom, I gently closed the door behind me, taking a deep, shuddering breath.
Our room was dominated by an enormous glass wall, giving us an unhindered view of the vast expanse of the ocean below. The gentle waves, reflecting the luminescence of the full moon, crashed rhythmically against the cliff, each crest and trough echoing my tumultuous emotions.
Drawn to the sight, I made my way over and sat on the edge of our bed. The moon was full, its radiant glow casting shimmering silver pathways across the water.
For someone like me, with a wolf living inside, the pull of the full moon was undeniable. On any other night, I would have been eagerly anticipating the chance to let my wolf run free, to feel the power and freedom of the transformation.
But tonight was different. The sadness, the impending void Enzo's absence would create, was too much, and the last thing I wanted was to surrender to my wolf.

I sighed, running my fingers through my hair, struggling to find words. "I'm just... I don't know how to handle being away from him for so long. Six months feels like an eternity." My wolf remained silent for a moment, and then she spoke, her voice gentle yet firm. "Life is full of challenges, and distance is just one of them. Maybe this separation, as painful as it might seem now, will be good for both of you. Tapart can help you grow, see things differently." I scoffed, although there was no real bitterness in it. "You always have a way of finding the silver lining, don't you?"
My wolf chuckled, a deep resonant sound that reverberated in my mind. "It's not about finding the silver lining. It's about understanding that love isn't always about being together. Sometimes, it's about letting go for a little while, trusting that the bond you share will pull you back together."
Taking a deep breath, I whispered, "I know you're right. But knowing and feeling are two different things. It doesn't make it hurt any less. We've been through so much together; the idea of facing challenges without him by my side is... daunting."
My wolf, ever the comforting presence, responded, "I know, Nina. But remember, you won't be entirely alone. You have me. And while it's not the same, we will face every hurdle together. Let Enzo chase his dreams while you chase yours. When the tis right, your paths will converge again." Tears glistened in my eyes as I looked out at the moonlit ocean once more.
The rhythmic ebb and flow of the waves, coupled with the reassuring words of my wolf, began to soothe my aching heart.
