We'll Be Okay

Three teenagers sat with their mouths open, looking at the little wolf cub sitting on the main couch on the lap of Harriet. He sat upright with his chubby legs, ears all risen to the sky, and beaded eyes round like smooth marble.

They couldn't comprehend that that man was the Liam Almandine they knew.

"Woof."

"It's been a while, guys. How are you guys doing?"

Harriet spoke softly, translating the wolf cub's low-toned bark.

Molly's eyes were wide. She didn't know what to say in this situation, seeing how adorable the wolf cub was, yet how terrifying he was.

"We're all right, Duke," Yelan said in a low voice. She immediately swallowed hard after saying that.

"Woof."

"That's a relief."

The three saw the soft smile of Harriet and felt a little at ease. Yet, their sweat dropped down the side of their faces because they still felt confused about all this.
