(A/N: What's this? Another update? Heck yeah it is! I'm on a role)

Previously on The Wolf Shifter's Love:

"Can I..." I start, looking down. "Can I see them?"

He is silent for a minute, before he takes my hand in his. I look up at him and he smiles, removing his mask in the process. I stare at his golden eyes in awe. Nothing could compare to to their beauty.

"They're beautiful" I breathe.

"Not as beautiful as yours" he replies confidently.

He links his fingers with my own, leaning closer. I follow his lead, leaning in. We're so close now that our breath mingles. Just as our lips are about to meet, we hear chatter coming in our direction. We quickly separate and he puts his mask back in its place.

Yona walks up to us, unaware of the previous events.

"Shin-ah. It means 'light of the moon'. So your name is... Shin-ah. Do you like it?" She says.

He nods and she smiles.

'For once I agree with you Yona. You did good, I like it'

 You did good, I like it'

Y/N POV

~Dream~

I speed through the forest as fast as I can in my wolf form. A vicious growl bellows behind me, as I continue to push forward. The more I run, the more I feel as if I'm not getting anywhere.

Then the unthinkable happens, I trip on a raised root. Tumbling to the ground, I whimper as pain shoots up my spine. I try to get up, but fail. Another growl rips through the forest, but this time it's right next to me.

I turn in time to see a leopard pounce towards my downed form. I scream at myself to move, but I'm frozen on the ground. The leopard comes at me full force.

~End of Dream~

"NOOOOOO!" I shoot up from where I lay in complete panic. I start to hyperventilate, unable to calm down.

The group surround me full of concern, but I'm too panicked to notice their presence. My eyes unwilling turn to (W/E/C), due to my lack of control.

"(Y/N)!" I hear the muffled shouts of my companions, but it's no use.

I suddenly feel a familiar presence wrap their arms around my trembling form... Shin-ah.

I start to calm down, my breathing becoming more even and controlled. My eyes return to their usual shade of (E/C), as I relax into his embrace. My focus returns and I am able to register my surroundings.

Yona is crying while Hak, Yoon and Kija have faces full of worry. I rest my head on Shin-ah's shoulder and breathe out.

"Thank you... Shin-ah. I'm ok now" I thank him, but he doesn't loosen his grip around me. I hug him back to reassure him that I'm ok. He loosens his grip and sits next to me, but he doesn't let go completely. He still has an arm around me for comfort.
