The Red

#8 Nicole

He was beautiful. I had no other words for the magnificent wolf I ride on. My vocabulary was lacking from the lack of education.

His gray eyes danced with a foreign feeling. I felt the sparks when we touched. I didn't know what it was but when I laid on his back.

Sigh.

It was wonderful.

I cursed softly as foxes jumped and leaped from the woods. We were nearing a log cabin. It could have been a mansion for all I cared. Anywhere was better than that putrid cell I was locked in.

My grip tightened as I looked up. I saw Isaac crush a fox's head, with his bare paw. Something in me admired his strength.

I shiver in disgust. I can't fall for the first decent guy I meet. It's morally wrong.

I felt him stop running and I noticed the two figures on the rickety porch. A tall woman with sticking features. And a man that looked older and young at the same time.

Isaac played on the ground and barked. I assume they were orders because the others wolves took the girls inside and the rest ran into the woods.

I slide off and he shifted quickly. He was also naked. I blushed and looked the other way.

He took my hand and laughed. "Your cute when you blush."

I rolled my eyes. "Maybe you should put some clothes on. You seem to have company."

He peeked at his company. They waited impatiently. He turned back to me and frowned.

"Before we go over there, I have to tell you something." He looked trouble. I wanted to hug him.

"Yes? If its about the girls, we'll be gone as soon as possible."

He shook his head. "No, I'm trying to tell you that your my mate. You won't be going anywhere."

I cocked my head. "What the hell is a mate?"

He sighed. Embarrassment tinged his cheeks. "They are natures way of making sure we produce healthy pups. It makes us the most compatible for each other." He scratched his head and looked away.

My eyes got wide. Mate? Pups? Compatible?

"You- we- I-?"

He cringed. "And that's my father over there. And my late brothers mate."

Instead of passing out, I vomited all over Isaac. I heard a giggle and I turned to the female introduced as my "mates" stepsister.

I threw up on her too.
