Edith was sitting cross-legged on the floor of the room. In front of her, Emma was muttering, and their hands were intertwined with each other. Gradually, Edith felt the flow of energy channelled by Emma for her.
“Take a deep breath and exhale slowly. I want you to concentrate on the beautiful memory of your parents.”
Edith followed Emma’s direction. She recalled the moment when she was with her parents. Her memory goes back to when she was five years old. Little Edith was running on the playground with her father.
“Edith, look, there is a butterfly flying over your head, honey.”
“Where is it, Daddy? Wow, it’s so beautiful. Hey, where are you going? Don’t go!”
With her small steps, Edith ran to follow the butterfly flying away. She just kept running until she didn’t see any stones blocking her steps.
“Edith, watch out!” her father shouted.
But too late, little Edith had already fallen and hit her head on the iron bar with a pointed tip. The side of his head hit the pointed end and caused a wound. Little Edith felt a pain in her head. She cried, and the father rushed to lift her body to leave the playground immediately.
There was the sound of the door pounding open. A woman with long white hair greeted them. Her smile instantly vanished after seeing a child who was being held by a man, crying and bleeding from the side of her head. Her blonde hair had turned red due to the blood flowing from the wound.
“Edith fell down; her head hit the garden fence. I’m sorry, Jova! It’s my fault,” said Oliver.
“Please lay her down on the sofa and leave this to me. Don’t worry, Oliver; you’re freaking me out. Edith, look at me. Everything will be fine. Mummy will treat your injury, okay.” Edith nodded, her little fingers clasping her father’s hand tightly.
“Okay, Mummy.”
Her mother touched the wound on Edith’s head. She closed her eyes and murmured. Instantly, her body was shrouded in a bluish aura that transmitted her energy into Edith’s head. Her mother’s hand closed the wound slowly. A few seconds later, the wound had been completely closed. Her mother opened her eyes and smiled at her little daughter as she held her body in her arms.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore, doesn’t it?” said Edith’s mother.
“Yes, you’re a great doctor, Mummy!” Little Edith squeezed her sweet smile at her mother.
“Now, let’s wash your hair. Mummy will help you.”
“Okay, Mummy. I love you so much.”
“We all love you so much. You should say it to Daddy too.”
“I love you so much, Daddy.”
Edith remembered that incident. Her mother healed her wound in just a few a few minutes. Maybe at that time she didn’t understand how that could happen. But now she understands that it happened because her mother is one of the supernatural beings with healing abilities.
“Do you understand now? It was inherited from your mother. I just don’t know what creature your mother is yet,” Emma said after she finished their session.
“Am I a witch?”
“It can be yes, and it can be no. Witches can create objects or change them. Some witches have the ability to heal, but they need a medium, whereas your mother used her healing energy without any medium at all. Like us, werewolves can heal themselves, but it does take time to do it.”
“Then what am I? Will it harm myself and my baby, Emma?”
“Calm down. Supernatural beings like ours have amazing defence mechanisms, so you’re sure to find answers as time goes by. After all, the Moon Goddess has already ordained you to be Seth’s mate. He will definitely take care of you because you are his mate. If you are in danger, then Seth will be able to sense it and will fight for your safety. A wolf without a mate will suffer so much, he may even die,” Emma explained.
“Is it that bad? I just found out.”
“Indeed. Trust me, you’ll find out when Seth wants you. You can’t refuse it.”
Emma spoke with a mischievous smile as she blinked her eyes. She seemed to understand the problem of the co-indipendent relationship between them and inserted implicit clues through her narration. Emma rose from the floor after being helped by Edith.
“Is your session over?” Seth had already stepped into the room and hurried to help Edith stand up.
“Isn’t it? Ashley is coming too.” asked Emma.
“She suddenly had to operate on the patient, who had an accident. What did we get, Emma?”
Emma explained the results of Edith’s past insight. She couldn’t come to a definite conclusion about her. She was only certain that Edith was one of the beings who had inherited her mother’s healing power.
Edith could clearly see that She-Wolf was exhausted. In her old age, performing insight into the past must be quite tiring. She felt bad for her.

“Fucking shit!”
Edith is surprised to hear Seth suddenly swear beside her. Seth walks to the sofa and lays himself down there. Edith saw that Seth was already sweating and curled up on the sofa. He looked agitated, as if he were holding something inside his body. Of course, this attracted the attention of Edith, who was reading a book about pregnancy.
“What’s wrong with you, Seth? Are you sick?”
“I’m holding back. Please stay where you are.”
“What are you holding back?”
“Heating…aargghh!
“Does it hurt so much?”
“Yes.”
Seth’s moans made Edith realise that the man was in extreme pain. Edith would put aside all sorts of thoughts, even the defences she had built about her limits with Seth. Seeing Seth’s state of suffering so much made her want to help him.
“How do I help you?”
Edith saw Seth’s eye colour change from brown to yellow. She remembered what Emma had said about his wish. Maybe it’s time for Seth to do it.
“Oh my God, please help me. I can’t bear to look at it like this. We were acquainted at that time, weren’t we? Show me the way. Seth, tell me, What should I do so that you don’t have to be in pain like this?”
“I want to fuck you right now.”
Edith took a deep breath as she closed her eyes. After collecting the courage, the high wall she built has begun to slowly collapse. Edith stepped up to the man and said, “I allow you, Seth. Please, do it slowly so that the baby and I feel at ease too.”
Seth looked at Edith, who was kneeling before him. Edith’s face is now level with his. His desire was bubbling, and his eyes looked at Edith deeply. It didn’t take long for them to gain the passion that led both of them to kiss each other.
His arms came around Edith, and his lips came down onto Edith. Seth’s hands ran over Edith’s hip before curling around to rest on her rear. His hands groped and felt before he picked her up. They made their way to bed, hands groping, feeling, and exploring as they moved. Edith barely felt her back touch the bed as her hands knitted into Seth’s brown hair. Every part of her body was on fire.
It didn’t take long for Seth to undress Edith. Edith skin glistened make Seth more desire. Edith was beautiful, and every part of her body made Seth marvel even more.
“Thank you for opening up your heart to me.”
“You’re so intimidating, but in the right way. Like I said, do it slowly.”
“Of course. Julian, your dad came to see you.”
