Jasmin's POV
I took a slow breath and allowed my body to transform into my white wolf form.
Max's wolf remained motionless, watching me with an intensity that made my pulse quicken. His gaze held something almost worshipful. My heartbeat thundered in my ears. He had witnessed my wolf before, yet the way he studied me now felt entirely different.
Why is he staring like that?
"Come on," he indicated with a slight movement of his head, allowing me to take the lead.
We moved as one through the forest. What began as a casual jog quickly escalated into a fierce sprint, our bodies weaving between towering trees as we raced toward the Academy grounds.
The distinctive aroma of the Academy reached my senses long before the buildings came into view.
