Chapter 27-Without A Wolf
Helanie:
Showering in his bathroom was incredibly soothing. After finishing, I felt this sudden urge to sit in the bathtub.
I had never owned a bathtub before, but I had seen people enjoying them in movies. I filled it with warm water and carefully lowered myself in. Taking a deep breath, I clung to the edge of the tub until I felt settled.
The beautiful wall with its blue patterns caught my eye, and I found myself lost in admiration, forgetting everything else. The calmness of the water washed over me.
As I began to close my eyes, a distant memory started to unfold in my mind.
Flashback:
"Helanie, are your parents coming for your first transition?" the girl to my left asked, her question sending a shiver through me at the mere mention of them.
I wanted them to come, but I feared that if I upset them somehow, they would punish me later.
My gaze shifted to my left, noticing all the parents lined up, offering their children reassurance, giving them thumbs up to boost their confidence. On my right, it was the same scene. But among all the faces, there wasn’t a single one there for me. That scared me, and I started to doubt whether I was ready for my first transition.
"Oh, poor Sally is an omega," someone remarked when Sally’s transition revealed her status. I felt sorry for her. She would likely face a beating and perhaps never be loved again.
However, to my surprise, her mother and father stepped forward, pulling her into a warm group hug.
