Chapter 22

             It was two weeks, Mac was out running in wolf form again. She barely showed up for school, at the most she has been there four times since that one day. Not even staying the whole day. She’s surprised she hasn’t received a letter from the school yet, saying she is in trouble for ditching. But in all reality, they think she is a human so they probably don’t care that much.

She was doing her daily gallop around her territory. It was a beautiful day and War was enjoying the day, running after deer, chasing around butterflies, and exploring the unknown. Mac was surprised when she ran across a waterfall. She didn’t notice how far she strayed, she was guessing she was in Gage’s territory. Brett would have had all his guards on her if it was his territory. Mac loves the water and doesn’t hesitate to jump in, paddling around. She was still in wolf form, finding it soothing when the water rushes through her fur. She dove chasing after a fish, missing it by a long shot, when she reemerged she knew she wasn’t alone. She could smell the minty freshness coming from the side of the water.

Gage was standing there in wolf form, looking down at her. He barks, jumping in the water as well. Mac just keeps floating in the water wondering what he was doing. It takes her by surprise when he comes up next to her grabbing her by the fur of her neck. He starts to pull her back to the shore, Mac just goes with it, confused by the whole situation.

When they make it to land, he pushes Mac up before him, running his tongue along her muzzle. Tingles erupting when they touch. Did he think I was drowning or something? Mac thinks. He barks when Mac doesn’t respond. She nudges her head into his neck, giving off the feeling that she is okay. His eyes light up, making Mac’s as well. He barks again nudging her to follow him. They start to play chase with one and another, nipping at each other’s tail. Mac had never been so happy. Here was Gage accepting her. They ending up playing until night fell, she licked his muzzle before heading back to her territory. Maybe there was a chance between them she thought.

“You coming to school today, or you just going to be playing wolf all day?” Jason asks.

“I’m coming.” Mac says, Katie looks up surprised, she knew how hard of time Mac has been having sense the Gage incident. Today was the first time she had a smile playing at her lips. “I’m taking my bike though.” Mac jumps up leaving the house.

“What got into her?” Jason asks.

“Hopefully Gage,” Katie said under her breath so that nobody would here.

Mac arrived at school, getting there earlier than most. It felt weird being at school again, it was almost three weeks of barely being here and even when she was here she was more like a zombie not paying attention.

“You look weirdly perky.” Chloe says coming up behind her.

“Just had a good day that’s all.” Mac says.

“I’m glad, you have been walking around like a zombie for the last couple of times you have been here. It is good to see you happy.” Chloe says. “Plus to add to the new happy you, guess who’s gay.” Mac looks down at her. “Well he thinks he’s gay, oh but I’m not supposed to know. He was talking to Collin about it and I overheard.”

“Gage thinks he’s gay?” Mac says a bit confused and offended, how could he not tell that she was a girl even in wolf form.

“I never said Gage, but ya it’s him. Apparently he ran around with a giant black wolf yesterday and he thinks the wolf is his mate.” Chloe says. All Mac was thinking was that maybe Gage is that stupid. “On the count the only female werewolf recorded around the land is Sandy, he assumes it’s a guy. So he is kind of freaking out.”
