Chapter 201: Never-Ending Darkness

[Maverick’s POV]

I don’t remember anything aside from pain and suffering. Day in and day out, I lived in an all-consuming darkness until the day I saw the light. It was so beautiful, and it was accompanied by such a sweet scent that I was immediately drawn to it. That was when I saw her, the small girl, making her way through the forest.

It was in that moment that I felt something awaken me, and I was moving, determined to get what it was that the girl had to offer me. I don’t know how I knew that she would be the one to save me from the pain and suffering I was enduring, but I just knew—my soul knew.

Before I could even realize what I was doing, I was biting her, and a delicious liquid exploded in my mouth. It set me off and made me go even more feral than I was due to wanting even more.

Everything after that was a blur, and when the world finally came to me, I found that I was no longer a rabid wolf; instead, I was a human, but I didn’t remember a thing.
