192 Pounding love

Nate helped Jaden wear his clothes back, and then they both turned to the doctor.

It was a man in his late fifties with white hair and a short, well-trimmed beard. He had checked Jaden's vitals and muscles, as well as his lungs.

«His body is good,» the doctor continued. «Like new! The wounds from last time have healed.»

«All right,» Nate sighed, relieved.

«Now, let's see his wolf shape... Can you release your ears, Jaden?»

Jaden watched the doctor and shook his head.

«Okay. I see... You don't have enough control, do you?»

«I don't know.»

«Do you release your ears and tail when you are with your mother?»

«Yes.»

«And with other kids?»

Jaden shook his head again.

«I've heard about your white ears, though. They're so pretty, aren't they?»

«My mommy likes my ears.»
