Chapter 25. Vulnerability in Strength

Kailani’s POV

He followed behind me, saying no word, but I could feel his heated gaze on my every move.

We stepped into the open space to see the full moon almost setting. The night was peaceful and its mild weather comforting. The calm wind of the night blew over my face, swaying my hair from side to side and making me giggle. It was perfect and I hope it’ll continue thus.

“We would shift any moment from now,” I announced, my voice coming out eagerly.

He nodded. “Yes, you will, but I don’t have to shift if I don’t want to.”

His answer left me in a puzzled state. “Is that because you are the prince, then?”

He shook his head. “No, every werewolf shifts when, where, and how they want to unless they have taken human life.”

“I have always shifted on the full moon,” I revealed, a little confused at where he was going with his words.

“You shifted because you wanted to, not because you had to.”

I never thought about it that way.
