Chapter 35

　　Tess

　　The world is spinning after I’ve given up my wolf to save Lucas’life.I feel weaker,heavier.My movements are sluggish,and it feels like I’m deaf.No longer can I hear or smell things from a distance.I feel like a puppy and almost stumble over my own two feet before Jenny catches me.

　　“You okay?”she asks me,her cool eyes boring into mine.Her nostrils flare,and I count the seconds it takes her to realize something is wrong with me:six before worry overtakes her features.“Why do you smell so strange?”

　　“Strange?”I ask.

　　Her eyes keep staring blankly down into mine as if she is hesitating before she finally whispers,“Like a human.”

　　I swallow thickly and drag my arm out of her hold.Jenny allows me to create some distance,but she still studies me.She must be trying to figure out what is so different about me.
