Little Wolf

Little Wolf: Chapter 1

Hellos, loves. As most of you know, I'm Cierra. This is a new book that I've been writing. It's the sequel to "One Whisper at a Time". It continues five years after Whisper comes home, and five years after the last chapter. I hope you who enjoyed going with Whisper through her struggles, will enjoy traveling with Whisper and Sebastian as well. :)

*Little Wolf: Chapter 1*

I ran through the woods quickly. If I was in my human form, I'd be grinning from ear to ear. Instead, a smirk landed on the lips of my mussel. I heard the titter tatter of his tiny paws, thundering against the ground. I knew he was close behind me. He wouldn't go anywhere without me, I wasn't concerned.

I dashed behind the nearest tree, testing his senses, making sure he knew my scent. I held my breath so I wouldn't give myself away. His hearing was great, but his nose needed some work. I had been urging him to use his nose for a while now.

Hearing him approach, I stayed silent. He howled for me, and when I didn't come, he knew it was a test. He was smart for his age. I watched him press his black nose to the ground and sniff.

He inched closer progressively. Finally, he sniffled my fur, bumping straight into me. He looked up at me with his dark, black eyes, then pounced on me. In human form, I would have laughed and hugged him. Now, I nuzzled him closer.

He wanted to play, but it was time to get back. I nodded towards the edge of the woods, where our house lay. He whimpered, looking up at me with tearing eyes. I shook my head and began to walk back, nudging him along. When we got back, I'd promise him to play tomorrow.

We raced back to the house – of course, I let him win. It excited him to win against a larger wolf. When we got to the edge of the woods, I changed back, pulling on the clothes that were on one of the tree trunks. My brown hair was messy, but that was normal after a morning run.

“Okay, Sebastian. You can do it.” I said to the small, black wolf.

He whimpered in response. He had always had trouble changing back. I smiled and knelt down beside him. “On the count of three,” I whispered. “One...two...three.” And he changed back.

I handed Sebastian his clothes and helped him put them on. In human form, he had black hair and black eyes. It scared me how much he looked like someone I once knew, but I knew there was no way I could change it.

I held my hand out to him. “Come on big boy, it's time for lunch.” He slipped his small hand into my own and followed me to the house, in which I lived in with my Mother, Father, and Teddy.

“What's for lunch, Grammy?” Sebastian asked my Mother as the two of us walked into the kitchen. He hopped into the nearest chair and swung his legs back and forth, grinning. I pecked his forehead.

“Grilled Cheese, my little love,” she responded. He crossed his small arms, poking his lip out.

“No meat?”

“No meat until dinner, bubby,” my Mom told him. Sebastian poked his lip out. He was truly a little wolf.

Five years ago to the day, I found out I was five months pregnant with Sebastian. Five years ago to the day, the love of my life left. I could remember everything that happened that day like it was yesterday.

It was only a few hours after I came home, when I realized I felt horrible. We couldn't go to a doctor. I was a werewolf now, what would he say if something happened? My mom knew when I told her how I felt, that I was pregnant.

I had Sebastian four months later. I felt so stupid for not noticing that I was growing fatter, that I was going to have a baby. But, when he came out, he was my new life. All I would think about was him. Not my former lover, or my former...Master. I shivered at just the thought.

I may have missed Caleb uncontrollably, but now, I had someone else to devote my life to. My son.

I snapped out of my thoughts and sat down beside my son. I pressed my lips to his forehead, running fingers through his short, black hair. “I love you, Seb.”

“Love you, too, momma.”

I was thankful for everything that happened to me. Why? Because if I hadn't gone through all of this hell, I wouldn't have Sebastian. I couldn't have gotten through all of this without my family – including Craymer.

We ate grilled cheeses for lunch that day. My dad was at work, and Teddy was at school. It was his last year at school. I had gone back and finished, but I didn't plan on going to college for a while, considering every full moon I changed into a wolf. And so did my son.

Unlike me, Sebastian was a full wolf. I was bitten – he was born. I knew that he would one day be more powerful than me. It scared me in more than one way.

I didn't want anyone to hurt my son, but if Félix found out that I had him, I was after he would come after Sebastian. But maybe, just maybe, he had forgotten all about me. Or maybe he was even dead.

No one would find my Little Wolf.
