Here is a very short excerpt from Chapter 16 in the 2nd book in the Wolfling Saga. (Due for release late June)
[EXCERPT]
[EXCERPT]
“Do you think you had an affair with your teacher,
Thomas Stone, because he was the only available mate for miles around?”
I shifted uncomfortably. “I think we would have fallen in love, regardless of the affliction.”
Doctor Kent chuckled a little bit.
“What’s so funny?” I asked, feeling a pink flush
creeping up my neck.
“Animals cannot fall in love the same way humans
do, Rose.”
“I beg to
differ,” I said. “Dogs can love. Chimps, cows and penguins; they all form bonds.”
“Instinct
is not the same as love, Rose.”
“To love
is instinct,” I replied.
The psychiatrist gave me a false smile. “Over the coming weeks I’d love to talk to you
more about your life, experiences and thoughts, Rose. I think there is a lot we
can work through together to help you. Many of our patients find therapy
extremely beneficial to their mental health.”
“Do you
think I'm mentally ill?” I asked.
Doctor
Kent pursed his lips. “Early days, Rose. You can’t possibly expect me to
give you a diagnosis after one session, can you?”
I
shrugged. At least he hadn’t deemed me certifiably insane immediately. That was
something.
