IT was full moon again. Candace was standing behind the window of her room and watching the moon. The moon was beautiful. Parang ang saya rin nito habang nasisinagan siya nito.

Candace smiled. She once dreams of watching the full moon with his parents but they were so busy that she ended up watching the moon by herself.

She sighed.

Kailan kaya uuwi ang mga magulang niya? Miss na niya ang mga ito.

Bigla siyang napatingin sa malayo nang makarinig siya ng mga alulong. Parang nanggagaling ang mga alulong sa mga malalaking nilalang. Hindi alam ni Candace pero dapat nakaramdam na siya ng takot pagkarinig ng mga alulong pero kabaliktaran ang nangyari. She became curious of the howl she had heard.

Candace was about to close the window on her room when she heard rustling sound from the bushes. Tinignan niya ang mga halamanan sa ibaba, malapit sa tapat ng kwarto niya. Napasinghap siya nang may lumabas roon na isang lobo na kulay-kape.

Naalala niya ang lobo na nakita niya noong nakaraan. Tumingin ang lobo sa kinaroroonan niya. Hindi nakaramdam si Candace ng takot nang tumingin sa kaniya ang lobo kaya hindi na siya nagtago. Parang may kung anong mahika ang pumasok sa kaniya at nakipagtitigan siya sa lobo.

Pakiramdam ni Candace, may tumutulak sa kaniya upang lapitan ito. Wala siyang maramdamang takot sa katawan niya. Parang mas gusto pa niyang lapitan ang lobo kaysa ang isiping sasaktan siya nito.

Candace stared at the brown wolf until the wolf suddenly left, jumped off the fence and run into the woods. Parang may sariling isip naman ang mga pa ani Candace at tumakbo siya palabas ng kwarto, bumaba siya ng hagdan at lumabas ng bahay. Hindi na siya nag-abalang nagsuot pa ng tsinelas. Basta na lamang siyang tumakbo sa likuran ng kanilang bahay, binuksan niya ang maliit na gate saka lumabas.

Candace runs into the woods. She wanted to see the brown wolf. She wanted to touch him. She felt like there is something inside her that wanted her to touch that wolf.

But as soon as she entered the woods, Candace felt that there are many eyes watching her. Maliwanag ang loob ng kakahuyan dahil sa liwanag ng buwan kaya nakikita niya ang dinadaanan niya.

"Where are you?" Candace asked herself as she looked around.

Funny thing is she doesn't know why she wanted to see that wolf closely. There was something inside her, telling her that... that wolf is connected to her.

Napailing si Candace. Ano ba 'tong mga pinag-iisip niya?

Napasinghap siya nang makarinig siya ng mabigat na yabag sa likuran niya.

Dahan-dahang humarap si Candace sa kaniyang likuran. Nahigit niya ang hininga nang makita ang kulay-kapeng na lobo. Kumikislap ang balahibo ng lobo na natatamaan ng liwanag ng buwan.

"Ang ganda..." Usal ni Candace.

The wolf wanted to test Candace. The brown wolf is no other than Dale. Dale wanted to see her mate so he went to see her but he didn't expect her to follow her into the woods.

Humakbang si Dale palapit kay Candace, gusto niyang malaman kung matatakot ito sa kaniya pero hindi 'yon nangyari. Candace stayed in her place as if she was rooted and couldn't move.

Napatingin si Candace sa kaliwang palad nang may maramdaman siya doon. The red wolf mark on her palm glowed but the light also disappeared. Napatitig siya sa kaniyang palad saka tumingin sa lobong nasa harapan niya. "I don't know what was happening to me. I know you can hurt me right now but my heart telling me that you wouldn't hurt me."

Dale's wolf sat on the ground.

Candace sighed. "I wanted to touch you. I don't know but I really wanted to touch you."
