While Dmitri slept peacefully, Adrianna was worried about the next night she would be spending in the forest. She had tried numerous ways to remember the events that urred during the full moon, but everything had failed. She slept beside him after a long time. Dmitri knew about her anxieties. He curled his arms around her and said, "Don''t worry, I am here."


    He had made a n for her.??


    In the morning when they got up, Dmitri told her that he wanted to take her out to in the forest. He wanted to know her wolf more and perhaps this would be the best time. Adrianna agreed and together, they headed to the forest. They shape shifted and walked together to in many ces. He took her to his favorite cave where he used to y during his childhood. They went to a temple that was old and in a dpidated state. There were nts growing all around it and ivy had spread on its walls. It was considered to be very sacred for the wolves, as there was a myth that the ancestor wolf spirits passed by it every now and then.


    They shape shifted into human forms and entered the temple. Adrianna walked up to the huge stone wolf sculptures that adorned the center of the temple. She was mesmerized by the aura within the temple. Dmitri followed her and said, "I am d we havee here. Let us ask for the blessings of our ancestors before we start our life together."


    Adrianna nodded and they both bent down on their kneels. They prayed for some time before leaving. It was evening by the time they left.


    Adrianna had started feeling restless. She had be irritated. It was as if her whole body was getting heated up and revolting against her sanity. She wanted to run wildly. She caught Dmitri''s arms with a lot of force in an attempt to control herself. Dmitri embraced her immediately. He asked, "Adri, are you okay?"


    She shook her head and said, "No., I feel as if my body is going to explode. Dmitri, stay with me. Don''t leave me, no matter what. For the first time in my life, I am scared of this transition."


    "Why?" he asked her, stroking her back.


    "Because I don''t want to lose you. I want to have a future with you," she replied with difficulty.


    Dmitri felt pained at her situation.


    She had simr symptoms during other full moon nights, but she would immediately run away into the forest in order to avoid anyone seeing them. However, this time Dmitri was there with her. She was bing ashamed of her issue; her body was heating up. She looked at Dmitri with her blurred vision to see how he was reacting to her change. He looked in control, which calmed her a little. She had been through this phase all alone and it pained her every single time. But this time she was pleased that Dmitri was beside her.


    He repeatedly told her one thing, "Adri, when you shape shift, don''t howl. Okay?"


    Adrianna could hardly listen to him as she found herself dealing with immense pain inside. Her vision became blurry.


    He held her for a long time, trying to calm her nerves, but everything was only bing dizzier. She was slowly losing control.


    As the full moon came out, Adrianna lostplete control. She threw him down, ran away from his embrace, and shape shifted into a wolf. She looked at the moon and howled loudly - loud , enough for the hunters to know that the rogue wolf was on the prowl.


    Dmitri knew that the hunters must have heard her. He also shape shifted. That day, he had nned to stay with Adrianna no matter what. He had to distract her so that she wouldn''t fall into the hands of the hunters.


    He ran after her, but Adrianna was beyond his reach. She was running at a speed no ordinary wolf could match. She had be wild, like a mad wolf. Dmitri tried his best to keep up with her.


    Adrianna ran into the open and hunted for deer and other wild animals. She must have killed at least a dozen deer before stopping to eat one. It really looked as though a rogue wolf had really been let loose. She would kill anything and everything that got in her way.


    Dmitri watched her from a distance. Suddenly. he saw a pack of wolves running towards the ce where she was preying on her hunt. They were far away. He knew that it was possible that either she would kill them all or that they would severely injure her. Before they could get to her spot, Dmitri ran to her and tried to divert her attention. He gave a low howl, catching her attention and gaining a growl in response. She left her meat and slowly walked towards him.


    He was prepared for her. As soon as she pounced on him, he ran in the opposite direction so that she would chase him. His n worked. However, it was not long before she caught up with him and pounced on him, bringing him down easily.
