The Lost Wolf

Fourteen ~ A new form

Ayla's POV

Once Benjamin got me out of the house, he stood behind me and covered my eyes.

I could feel his whisper on the tip of my ear, "I want you to keep your eyes closed when I remove my hands."

He moves one of his hands to trail around my ear, "I want you to listen."

He places his hands on my shoulders, rubbing his thumb back and forth, "I will move around in wolf form, and I want you to ketch me with your eyes closed."

He steps back and says, "Change into your wolf form if needed, but keep your eyes closed."

With my eyes closed, I listened as the light wind moved past my body, causing little wooshes in my ears.

I focus on my hearing moving past the wooshes I listened to, trying to hear any movement.

I then began to hear leaves rustling, knowing how frequently the leaves moved in that direction. It must be some animal.

Taking in the air, I transformed into my wolf. Keeping my eyes closed, I raised my wolf ears, taking in my surroundings.

In this form, my hearing is heightened. The wind wooshes became whistles.

I took a deep breath as I continued to focus on my surroundings.

I took a step forward and felt movement to the left of me. I quickly moved in that direction until I bumped into Benjamin.

I opened my eyes as we both returned to our human form.

With a surprised voice, Benjamin says, "You found me quickly."

I nod, "I did, but it wasn't with hearing."

Benjamin looks confused.

I continued, "I felt your presence. I want to continue training."

He nods, and we return to our wolf form.

Stella's POV

Cyrus says, "Yeah, all of the things I've learned over the centuries about control spells are in a storage unit of mine."

I say, "Good, let's go." As I drag Cyrus out the door.

Once we leave the cabin, we see Alya and Benjamin in their wolf forms. Alya walks over to me as she turns into her human form.

She asks, "Hey, what's going on?"

I reply, "We will get my sister and remove the control spell on her."

Alya nods, "Alright, let me know what I can do to help?"

I took a moment to think, then said, "Firstly, I need to do a locate spell to find Alice."

I slap my fingers, and my locator map appears before me, flowing on a pink cloud.

I poke my finger, letting a drop of blood fall onto the map.

I close my eyes as I cast the locator spell.

I began to feel warmth under my hands. When I opened my eyes, I saw the map on fire.

I gasp, jumping back.

A tear falls down my cheek, lost on my next move.
