---- Then David appeared -shirtless, his chest covered in hickeys and scratch marks. "Amy's wolf was still emotionally unstable," he said. "T thought it'd be best if she stayed here for a while. I changed the lock so she wouldn't forget the password -it's her birthday now." I nodded, walked past him, and began packing my things. David's smile faltered. Panic flashed across his face. "Where are you going?" It seemed he'd already forgotten- I'd ended it with him just ten minutes ago. Still, he wrapped his arms around me from behind as if nothing had changed. "Let's go see the haunting this Moonlight Festival, okay?" But before I could respond, Amy let out a soft moan from the doorway. "amy, what's wrong?" ---- His attention shifted instantly. He looked into Amy's delicate face, filled with concern. "David, my wolf isn't feeling well. Maybe it's the scent on this gown... I think I'm having an allergic reaction." Without hesitation, David scooped her up and disappeared into the bedroom. He didn't look back. Not once. As the door closed, Amy cast me a triumphant glance. I let out a quiet laugh. She didn't have to go that far. Minutes later, the inevitable sounds of pleasure came from behind that door. I let out a long, slow sigh. But instead of agony, my wolf felt... relieved. They finally got what they wanted. Now, it was finally my turn-to fulfill a promise I'd ---- made five years ago.
