She held a tight grip on her brush as she carefully picked the right colors; remembering every detail like it was yesterday, she dipped the paintbrush in the brown paint and continued to stroke on the canvas.

It was summer and she only had a few months left until graduation. She's going back to the forest and hoped to see it again. She shrugged the thought on where she would get a job off and her door opened and her mother went inside.

"Beth, have you packed your things?" Her mother, Laura, asked.

She smiled and placed her brush beside the canvas, "Yes Mama, all set and ready to go." She looked down and began to rub her arm. Her arm, where it attacked her, had a long and deep scar and she can still feel it, the way it clawed her when shs was little.

"I know you're still scared, baby," her mother said and sat down beside her bed.

"I'm not," she chuckled, "Mama, we own two huskies, and I love them both so much; but I was just trying to help him," Bethany sighed and held her mother's hand. "It's a little hard to shake the thought off when his mother gave me a reminder."

Her mother smiled at her attempt to lighten up the mood. "Well then, go fresh up and I'll meet you downstairs. Your father and I will be waiting for, I'll bring your bags down."

"Okay mama, I'll bring my painting down too. I want to finish it and I'm looking forward to visit Aunt Kate there." Bethany said and gathered some fresh clothes as she headed to the bathroom.

Turning the shower on and stepping in, she began to contemplate.

She and her family will go back the place where she saw the wolves. Her aunt will start questioning why she's still single and what job will she land after college. She began to think about her academics instead, she's about to graduate college at the age of twenty and she has to find a house or an apartment of her own soon; but at least she gets to spend some time with her family during her break.

As she finished bathing, she wore some shorts and a tank top and grabbed her stuff, along with her painting materials and her gadgets. When she walked downstairs she saw her parents making out and she began to fake a cough.

"Oh. Sweetie," her father, Erick, laughed. "Let's go. We can continue later babe," he winked at Laura.

"Ew dad, not when I'm here," she groaned and roll her eyes.

"He's just teasing, love. Now come on, it's a long drive to Kate's." Her mother said, and they went outside the house.

"Iris! Ivy!" Erick called out as the two huskies came and went inside the car.

"Thank you for agreeing to bring them with us, dad," Beth smiled as she pat Ivy's head.

Putting the now dry painting at the back of the car, her father smiled, "Well, Kate loves dogs and wouldn't mind having these two for a visit, besides, I don't trust those dog sitters."

Finally putting their things in the car, the three of them were all set for the long drive. Iris and Ivy began to close their eyes and Bethany did too with Dua Lipa playing on the background.

"Are you sure about this, love?" Laura asked.

Erick looked at his sleeping daughter at the rear view mirror and and intertwined his fingers with his wife. "It's been sixteen years, we'll be fine." He smiled and kissed his wife's hand.

Christian Pines stared the flower in his hand and twirled it around and closed his eyes.

Sixteen years. Every detail was still clear sixteen years ago.

A male wolf's first shift is when he turns six, it was believed that males tend to mature faster than females for female wolves first shift when they turn ten. He was six-year-old when he first shifted.

Running in four legs made him so ecstatic that he didn't realize he passed by the border of the pack. Traps scattered the area and his leg was caught in those painful things, howling and crying for help, it was when he saw her. He stared at her as if she was most beautiful girl in the world. She helped him get out of the trap and patted his head and that was when his mother clawed the little girl. He tried to understand why his mother did it because she thought the human was going to hurt him.

The door opened as his Beta, Miguel Louis, entered the room. "I'm sorry to barge in—"

"No shit, you could have knocked." Christian rolled his eyes and placed the daisy down on the table. "What do you want? You interrupted me with something."

"Forgive me Alpha, but I am here to report to you that the King's are on the road to visit Laura Mills." His Beta said and bowed his head in respect.

"Finally," Christian sighed and smiled. "It's been sixteen years since I last saw her. Thank you, Miguel."

Miguel bowed his and left the room. Christian toyed with the daisy again and hoped shit won't happen when they arrive.
