When we were clear enough of the forest I felt able to place Wren back upon her feet. She steadied herself momentarily, but the darkened look within her eyes took me by surprise. Having her that close made something I had noticed in the past days harder to deny. Her scent was stronger. It was gripping at my senses and pulling me under. So much more than it had ever done before. There was a change within her, but, was that down to my presence?
