Saving Windfall (MXM)

Chapter Twelve: A New Wolf

~Daxera's POV~

I wake up a couple of hours after having the breakfast that Russ made for me and look at the clock which says 'twelve fifteen,' in bright red numbers then I sigh, wishing that I had slept for most of the twenty four hour headache. I slowly push Russell's arms off me but he grabs me, pulling me closer to him.

"How did you sleep? And how is your head?" Russ asks quietly in a sleepily husky voice. I giggle then turn around and kiss him.

"I slept well, but I wish I slept through the headache more then I did. I can't wait to be able to talk to Dahlia and be a Wolf like you," I say back. Russ chuckles then stops when his eyes light up like he is remembering something.

'Hey, I forgot to tell you about this. It is a mind link between us and only us,' I look at Russ shocked while his voice rings through my mind.

"What the fuck- that is badass. How do I do it?" I ask him excitedly. Russ smiles then, as I assume, thinks about how to explain it.

"Well, you'll see what I mean when you become a Wolf, but when I do it, I have to open a channel to that person. A mate mind link is similar except its just between you and I. Look at me, open your mind, then try to think something to me in," Russ prompts me.

I take a deep breath then look at Russ. 'Did it work?' I ask in my head but Russ just looks at me. "I don't think it worked," I say a little sadly.

"Hold on I have an Idea, plus I can show you something that us Wolves are able to do at the same time," Russ smiles as he lets me go then gets off the bed. I watch his muscles move under his skin as he walks into the living room until he heads to a part of the room I can't see. In a matter of seconds a huge black Wolf head appears from around the corner looking at me through his shining purple eyes. I sit up then and raise an eyebrow.

'I needed a bigger space to shift. Now watch,' Russ says in my head. I continue to watch him, then to my amazement, he starts to shrink down to the size of a normal wolf. My mouth falls open as the smaller version of Russell and Whitefang trots through the door and hops up onto the bed.

"You can alter your size?" I say, less as a question and more as a statement, feeling bewildered. Russ gives me a wolfish grin.

'Yes, and once you change, I will be able to teach you how to do that yourself. Now though, put your forehead to mine. It'll help you be able to talk to me,' Russ says to me.

"Ok, but why are you able to push what you are saying into my head?" I ask as I sit forward and put my head to Russell's. I feel a small shock following my actions but I don't pull away from the contact.

'Being the soon-to-be Alpha, I am able to push past anyones blocks, including yours, to communicate. Try to talk to me again,' Russell instructs.

'Hello..?' I ask as I try to push my thoughts toward Russ.

'Hey, there you are sweetheart. I am going to pull away and you try it again,' Russ says to me and I nod when he removes his head from mine.

'How is this?' I feel my eyes sightly blur a little when I push my thoughts out to Russ.

'Perfect,' Russ says happily. I reach out and pull Russ to me, laying him in my lap, then proceed to pet him from his head down to his tail.

'You are as much of a beautiful Wolf as you are a beautiful Human,' I say through the link which is much easier this time. Russ doesn't say anything, he just pants happily. I smile and rest my still aching head against the wall. Suddenly the pain dulls a little.
