-What will they call her? -Laura asked.
-We don't know yet.
I arrived about an hour ago, she can't stand my presence at all, it's almost palpable in the atmosphere, but her daughter wants me by her side, that's the only reason she puts up with me. The big problem is that I can't get close enough to my little girl, she won't let me and if I force her everything will go against me.
My heart longs for her, my instinct longs for her.
-My husband will be late," she says, leaving her cell phone on the table.
My little girl calls out to me, she wants me to come closer, but I can't. She wants me to come closer.
-Is she listening to me?
I look up and look at her.
-I need... -He pointed to her belly, just for a second.
-My daughter is only in danger being by your side, I haven't left these territories because I don't know what harm I would do to her, but you, you should take less risks -she comes closer to me- I swear we won't leave, so you mustn't come anymore, we must protect her, every time she's here, every minute, we risk to be discovered -she says with a plea.
-I can't.
-You must have willpower, it's for her sake! -He raises his voice.
-It is she who calls me here! -I reply in kind, "I can stay away," I flip my hair in frustration, "but she's.... She's the one who keeps me away, I don't sleep at night, because she's in my dreams, when I run through the woods, her scent is everywhere, in the daytime it's like I hear her and she's calling me.
She walks to the couch and sits on it, she looks exhausted and nervous.
-We'll make it work, if the Moon Goddess brings us together now, there must be a purpose.
-Let's wait.
I sit next to her and caress my little girl.
I'm waiting for you little wolf, I'll wait for you always.
Tomorrow is my mother's birthday, that means my sister is coming, along with Noh and Edrien. I miss them and want to see them, but Noah knows me better than most and is more curious and insistent than most, that scares me. During his stay here, I can't visit my little wolf, the risk is too great.
-I made an agreement with my parents," Jasmine tells me.
-What?
-I can live here for a year, then I have to come back and marry whoever they want.
-Did you accept?
-No," she says sure, "but they don't care about that, what I will do, I think, is to visit them, I still have to see how I will do it, if I go and they "imprison" me, I won't be able to come back.
I can't help laughing, he'll find a way to do it, just like he did months ago. He's a free spirit, of that I'm more than sure.
-I had a strange dream," he twines his arm in mine.
We like to walk in the woods, everything is more relaxed. The breeze and the sound of the belly in the trees, nothing can compare to that.
-About what?
And most of all I like the forest, because in the wind is the scent of my little she-wolf.
-I was in the garden, taking care of the flowers -that made it her favorite hobby- when my heart began to beat strongly, it was something I had never felt before, I looked at the Moon Goddess, when I heard a voice.
-What did it say?
I had heard about similar dreams before, she doesn't know what it means, but I do.
-It's time, she said, I heard it only once and I woke up.
-I see," he smiled happily.
-Something you want to tell me?
-I know what it means.
-Tell me," she stops suddenly and looks at me anxiously.
-The Moon Goddess is forewarning you of her arrival.
-From whom?
-We have to go back now, I have to see how the preparations for tomorrow are going.
I walk back with a faster pace.
-Don't go, tell me," I ignore her laughing as she tries to stop me, "Tell me!
