{Third Person}
Alexander woke up this morning feeling lighter than usual.
It was not the first time he had experienced the strange sensation. In fact, he had been noticing it for several weeks now.
Some mornings, he would wake up and realise that the heaviness that had followed him for years was not as pronounced as it normally was.
His breathing became easier, his body felt less exhausted, and his mind seemed clearer. However, he had never known why.
He had tried not to think too deeply about it. There was no point getting his hopes up over something he could not understand.
After dressing for his morning run, Alexander left the house and headed into the woods surrounding the estate. The early morning air was cool, and a thin mist still lingered between the trees.
Once he was far enough from the house, he shifted. His wolf emerged with unusual ease.
The moment his paws touched the ground, he felt a rush of excitement. His wolf wanted to run, so he did.
