Page 480 of His Hungry Wolf

“I love you too. I always will,” I told him meaning it more than I had meant anything in my life.

Everything felt perfect. That was until I left Titus’s eyes and looked back at the crowd gathered. They were stunned. They had just seen a man turn into a wolf and back again, and whatever it was that happened to me.

The crowd murmured.

“This is not good,” Titus said looking back at everyone.

“It’s not,” Dr. Tom said as he approached us at the alter.

“What can we do, Doc,” Titus asked.

“Well, you can start by putting on some pants. That’s half of what they’re staring at.”

Titus looked down seeing his healthy endowment swinging in the breeze.

“Right,” he said before jogging to where he had left his clothes.

“And, as for this crowd,” Dr. Tom said before turning to look at them.

“What about them?”

“We can’t allow them to leave here remembering what they saw. Our kind aren’t ready for that type of exposure yet.”

“What are you suggesting we do?” I asked wondering how cold-hearted he was.

He turned to me. “I don’t have the power to do this, but I think you might.”

“To do what?”

“To make them forget.”

“What?”

“Your power, it’s more than I have ever seen. I think you can make them all forget.”

“What if I can’t?”

“Then, your life and the lives of everyone you care about, including Titus, will suffer. Is that really the way you want your life with him to begin? With suffering?”

I considered that. I didn’t have to think about it long.

“What do I do?” I asked him.

“Just wish it.”

“That’s it?”

“Be clear about what you want. But, yeah. I think you can do it.”

I turned my attention to the crowd. I was about to do what Dr. Tom had told me to do, but I stopped.

“What’s wrong?” he asked me.

I turned to him.

“Were you planning on releasing the protective barrier that surrounds your town? You said that you would. But were you actually going to?”

Dr. Tom looked at me stunned.
