***Ophelia*** We land just outside the cavern’s entrance, and though the gravity feels heavier here, I feel as though I’m floating — suspended in a cloud of warmth and sunlight. I have never felt happiness like this, not even in the familiar world we had left behind. To feel Ares' joy through our bond, to witness him soaring freely into his true self... it fills me with something I just cannot describe. I glance towards him as my wings dissolve back into me, and a soft smile curves my lips — the kind born not of excitement, but of quiet, absolute contentment. This continues to intrigue me. You feel so deeply for this man, but he is not Lycan. It is perplexing, my wolf comments. You don't remember any interspecies pairings when you were last blended? I ask. I cannot remember too much
