Chapter 38. Powers and Prestige

Layla’s POV

“Keep your head low,” Nathaniel advised.

“Why?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Because you don’t need to react to anything, but your wolf does. Keep your face away from anything that may disturb your focus, and then deep breaths.” No idea why that was revilement at all but decided to trust him. I closed my eyes, shook out my arms, and before lowering my head, focusing on my breathing.

Deep breaths, in and out. My chest expanded as the scent of the water and the forest filled my lungs.

I jumped and opened my eyes when Nathaniel’s hand suddenly rested against my stomach. He stood behind me, I looked over my shoulder and saw his eyes were closed.

“Close your eyes.” He ordered. How did he know?

I listened, taking a deep breath, and exhaling slowly. His hand remained there softly pressing against my stomach, following my movements.

“Do you remember the waterfall?” He asked me. His voice took on a much nicer and calmer note
