Mystical Wolves: Enchanted Wonders Series #1 Book #3 [EDITS COMING LATER]

Chapter 7

               "Nice den you got here." Goldenglow murmured, as he settled down into a newly bedded nest. Fire dipped his head in respect, and turned to all of the SkullPack wolves.

"Well, you guys should find bedding for your nests now too." he barked. Bullet's packmates rose on their paws, and trotted out of the cave den to find materials. The she-wolf was about to follow, but a soft tail touched her shoulder.

She turned. "Oh- uh, yeah Fire?"

"Come with me." He waved his tail, taking notice of Goldenglow already falling into a slumber. He was worn out. She padded nervously next to the handsome he-wolf, as they maneuvered through a gap in the cave den.

"Wh-what's this?" Bullet was stuttering, it was the second time her and the he-wolf were actually alone together.

"Where I sleep, it's big enough to fit two wolves though." His purple-smoky eyes were inviting. Bullet's tail poked up mischievously, and she carefully settled down into the gigantic nest. Her tail was trying not to twitch of anxiety.

"Goodnight Bullet, sleep well. See you at dawn." Fire curled up next to her, after giving her head a quick nudge with his nose. Bullet held back a gasp of surprise.

"Goodnight Fire, sleep well..." She put her head on her paws, and closed her eyes, she fell into sleep quick enough.

Katie was sleeplessly watching over Blackfrost for hours now. The black and white he-wolf was on his back, unmoving. Yet, he was alive. The moon was shining brightly through the healer wolf den, soon midnight would fall over the pack. All of SkullPack was sleeping, every wolf was worn out from the battle today. Katie padded outside of the den, she noticed Winston, who was glancing at her from the bushes.

"What are you doing?" she whispered, narrowing her eyes. The tan dog slunk out of the elder bush, and walked towards her.

"I have something to tell you." he murmured, looking down. "I had a vision while I was sleeping, and I woke up because HeavenPack wanted me to tell you. Since you're part healer wolf."

"Make it quick, I'm looking over Blackfrost." Katie ushered him on.

"See, before I became a hunting dog, I was a wolf. I got caught into some spell that made me into a dog. And, since I looked like a dog, the denlivers captured me and took me into hunting dog training. It was horrible there, being a trainee to a denliver. I am a wolf at heart, and I am in the head, I'm just not in the right body right now."

Katie gasped. Her white pelt bristled in shock. "Were you a.. mystical legend wolf?"

"No, in fact, when I first attacked your sister Raven and her mate Snowy... I had no idea they had powers." Winston's eyes glowed with honesty in the dark night.

"Were you part of a pack before at all.. and did you have a previous name before Winston?" the white she-wolf curled her tail around her paws, now intrigued.

"No, I was a rogue, and.. nameless. I don't even know my parents, they abandoned me. This is why I asked to join SkullPack." the tan dog woofed. Katie felt a pang of empathy.

"I'm sorry Winston.. but why did HeavenPack want you to tell me all this?" Her tail rose up again.

"They told me a bit about Goldenglow's journey.. I don't quite remember. Something about crystals beyond the mountains. They told me I have to go back to my wolf form, something the packs aren't ready for is going to happen. They told me I was destined from the start to be a SkullPack wolf. I'm sorry for burdening you Katie, and for the trouble I've put you through.. but you need to believe me.. please."

The white she-wolf sat tall, looking up at the stars and the moon. They sparkled down at her, and she met eyes with Winston, nodding.

"Give me a moment." Katie lowered her head through the lichen entrance, Blackfrost was still knocked out. She gave him more bedding, and sighed. I have to get this done with Winston before sunrise.

Winston backed up as Katie turned around, leading him into the wooded patch with a glowing puddle every healer wolf had on their pack's territory.

"What's this supposed to do?" the tan dog asked.

"Lap at the warm water, and you'll fall asleep. I'll meet you in your dreams." Katie whispered, waving her tail, as both of them dunked their muzzles in and lapped at the warm water.

"We're in HeavenPack." Katie woofed, Winston glanced up, the moon was beaming down on the grass. It was so peaceful; flowers, dens, everything. No harm in sight, no wilted plants.

Katie observed around, a very light gray pelt was visible from the bushes. It rose up, and the wolf looked at her.

"Ah yes, Winston and Katie." the he-wolf padded forward, inhaling their scents.

"Who are you? I spoke to another wolf before in my vision.." Winston questioned, sniffing the light gray he-wolf in front of him.

"I'm Graylight, a former FrostPack wolf. My son is Thunderblood, he hunts with DarkPack now.. he killed me during the Great HowlMeeting Battle almost a moon ago." Graylight introduced. "And, I know you're Winston, and.. I do know why you're here."

"How do you know why I'm here?" the tan dog's eyes were darkened in disbelief.

"HeavenPack has ways, I was one of the stars shining my approval when you were speaking to Katie." the gray wolf nodded.

"Oh.. well.. will I become a wolf again tonight?" Winston stood up tall, his tail pointed to the starry sky of HeavenPack.

"Yes, not only that, you will be a mystical legend wolf of SkullPack. As you were destined since your birth." Graylight trotted over to a tall rock, and stood up proudly on it, dipping his head for Winston to come over. The tan dog ran over, and sat on the flat stone beneath the tall rock.

"As a HeavenPack resident, I, Graylight, announce Winston, as a full SkullPack member, and a mystical legend wolf." The light gray he-wolf put his head on top of Winston's, and the tan dog licked his shoulder respectfully. Howls of approval and congratulations came from the other HeavenPack wolves. Katie joined in, and the vision began to fade away.

Katie stirred awake, and looked at the HealerPool. It wasn't sunrise yet, but it was going to be soon. She saw Winston stretching next to her. He was a muscular, russet-tan colored wolf. He.. he actually looks handsome.

"You.. you look great!" Katie barked. Katie suddenly realized, the trip to HeavenPack granted her powers back. She yipped of excitement.

"Thanks Katie, you do too." Winston was panting. "We better get some sleep at least before dawn." He waved his fluffy tail, padding and entering the wolves' den quietly.

So dreamy... the white she-wolf felt herself spacing out. Katie give up, he'll find another mate. Maybe Fenix. I don't know.. I'm overthinking. Fenix doesn't seem that type of a wolf to be all in having pups and mates.

Katie walked over to the healer den, and she gasped.
