Happy 50 chapters! I'm really happy to have made it this far. There's a lot more to come!

___________________________________

The first day of spring came faster than anyone anticipated. There wasn't anything more exciting to wake up in the morning to a warm breeze and a beating sun. It was relieving for the snow to have finally melted and for the warmth to have returned.

No one wanted it to go away ever again.

Not to mention, it was the day Liam was returning from a business trip and the day to get back into routine.

Winter had been a train wreck. It was fine when it started in north with Liam's family. It was perfect, actually. When I returned, the first week or two had been a little rocky, but after that, it eased up nicely.

I had spent most of the winter cuddled up with Liam in bed or on a couch in front of the fire. If I wasn't with Liam, I was with the girls. I felt like I was changing, becoming a different person.

I felt like I was getting stronger, evolving and becoming a better wolf. I hadn't trained in months but I was stronger, mostly mentally. Ezra even mentioned to me often that my veins hummed louder than ever.

I was more than proud and relieved that it was finally spring time.

"Good morning!" I beamed at Lila and Brayleigh as I left the cabin. The two girls groaned at me and shook their heads.

"Why so happy for? It's five in the morning," Brayleigh groaned at me. Lila scoffed and nudged Bryaleigh's arm.

"Liam comes back today. She's probably looking forward to dragging him straight into the bedroom," Lila teased, and I rolled my eyes at her. The girls both giggled at me as we took off down a trail.

I felt amazing to be running again. It was different to be out in the open air without shivering and almost freezing to death, but it was good. We sprinted hard and fast along the trail, each of us eager for the day.

It was finally spring and it was already showing.

We shifted into our beasts and tore through the woods. We weaved in and out of trees and in no time, we finally came up to the fork in the path. We skipped the river, as it was still partly frozen over. We ran straight back to the pack.

Our run was too quick and I contemplated going for another. I had too much energy and I had to release it somehow.

Lila, Brayleigh and I shifted back into our skin and pulled on clothes. I lifted the leggings over my butt and then glanced down at the baggy shirt I was wearing. It was damp from the cold night but I didn't mind. I would warm up quickly in the sun.

"Good morning, lovely. Looking particularly good this morning," Anthony appeared next to me as I walked in the direction of the sparring rings. I turned my head to him and arched my eyebrow.

Liam had been gone for a week. Since he left, Anthony hadn't left my side. He was taking advantage of the fact that Liam wasn't around, thinking that he'd get away with it.

Not only would I kick his ass, but Liam already said he'd do it as soon as he got back. Which would be soon.

"I know," I said bluntly as I looked away. I focused on the story that Brayleigh was telling about her nurse training and listened carefully until I felt Anthony's hand on my shoulder.

It burned.

I pulled away from him quickly and snapped my eyes to him. "You better back off real quick or we will have a problem."
