A Legend Realized

Valerie’s POV

I stared at her.

Was she really asking to see my wolf? Out of the million things she could ask for now?

“Nadine,” I whispered, brushing a strand of hair off her forehead. “You need to rest.”

“I know,” she breathed, “but please… Just once.”

I hesitated.

Everything in me screamed to protect her, not show her something that could scare her or make her worse. But she didn’t look scared.
