Capítulo 16: Chapter Sixteen

Ariana woke up with a start, feeling a cold sweat on her forehead. She had a nightmare about the night before, when she witnessed the horrifying transformation of Ethan, he had howled in agony, as if he was being tortured by some invisible force.

She shuddered at the memory and decided to go see him, to check on him and to ask him some questions. She got dressed and left her room, heading towards his chamber. She hoped that he was feeling better, that he had recovered from his ordeal.

Ariana knocked on the door of Ethan's chamber, feeling nervous and anxious. She had not seen him since the night before, she had not slept well, haunted by the image of his beastly form and his agonized howls. She had not spoken to anyone, afraid of revealing his secret. She couldn't stop thinking about him, wondering how he was, what he felt, and what he wanted.

She heard his voice, "Come in" weak and hoarse, inviting her in.
