Breaking the Ice

Chapter Three

It's been two days since we've been running. We sleep during the day using each other for body heat then at night, we all start running again. Luckily for our night vision or else, we wouldn't be so lucky as we have been so far. We only shift when we absolutely have to. And it's a good thing that we are still children or else our clothes would rip to shreds if we were adults. You see once a werewolf reaches the age of twenty that's when our wolf becomes fully grown and our clothes won't hold onto our human bodies anymore so that's why they rip.

Although, because Reina isn't old enough to shift just yet she has to cling to me because her night vision isn't that great just yet. And when we shift she has to ride my back like when we use to play together or when I get too tired she has to ride Mark's back. Although, I don't like her riding his back or showing any weaknesses so that doesn't happen often because I power through it. Mark may very well be the leader, but I am the princess so, in other words, I am the alpha not him.

We were running in wolf form and Raina's riding my back with her head hiding in my fur to protect her face from the biting cold when I felt her hands starting to go slack. I quickly stopped not wanting her fall off my back into the snow. I listened to her slow breathing for a minute knowing she was fast asleep. I smiled to myself I guess I must be quite warm to her small and frail body. The others stopped noticing I'm not with them anymore. Mark's large gray fluffy wolf turned around training his hypnotic brown eyes on me. He spoke through the mind link that only we share now since we left the pack "What's wrong?" His large adult like booming voice rang out into my mind.

I tilted my head, not like the air of authority he's trying to put out. "Nothing." He narrowed his eyes at me "Then what's the holdup?" I growled not liking his tone of voice "Reina needs to rest and by looking at the others so do they." He growled, "Didn't I ask for your opinion?" I noticed Erik's jet black wolf with his even brighter golden eyes trained on me. Then I turned my focus back on Mark and growled "Did I stutter? I said they need to rest and it wasn't a request it was an order!"

Erik's POV:

I watched as Evelyn challenged my big brother. He growled at her "Did I ask for your opinion?" I watched as her little white wolf ears flicked backward challenging as her sweet little voice took on that of a powerful one that rang softly and dangerously as she spoke clearly through the mind link we all shared. "Did I stutter? I said they all need to rest and it wasn't a request it was an order!" He growled at her and then started crouching low to the ground. I know that stance instantly it's he's about to attack her to show her who the dominant by jumping on top of her. She growled her bright emerald green eyes flickering to a bright violet color. Just as I took a step forward my brother took off into the air about to land on her.

With a lighting fast step, she dodged out of the way causing him to land on the soft white snow. But it was so quick her sister woke up almost falling off of her. Evelyn gently nudged her sister signaling for her to get down. Evelyn crouched low to the ground to let her sister down just as my brother jumped her. They both were rolling in the ground snarling and nipping at each other. Just as I was about to intervene in their snarling match thinking Evelyn had no chance of winning I saw the most incredible and beautiful thing I've ever seen before.

Her pure white wolf's fur turns into silver right before my eyes. Suddenly Mark jumped back as he turns back into a human instantly with burn marks on his skin from where his body touched her. She growled at her violet eyes turning a dark shade of red. Her ears were flat against her head with a snarl on her face. Everyone watched as a drop of drool fell from her jaw and fall against the snow. As the droplet lay there on the snow a pure droplet of silver against the snow. 

She was challenging him to look her in the eye. He did for a split second before lowering his graze in submission. If he was in wolf form right now he would have licked her jaw as a sign of submission and a way of pleasing the alpha wolf. She snorted then her ears went back up as she turned around and trotted back over to her sister. You could see her eyes changing back to their original color violet. And as she walked over to her silver fur turned back to its normal pure white color starting from her head to the top of her tail. It was absolutely incredible and I really couldn't believe my eyes. 

I watched as Reina her little sister began to pet her with a pout on her. "Mommy and daddy said you weren't supposed to do that again." She whined and spoke through the mind link "But I had to protect you and everyone else they were all exhausted." She said pleading with her little sister. I felt completely shocked "They knew she could do that. Do they know why?" I doubt they do because I never heard of anything like this ever happening in the history of werewolves. And I read the whole entire book because the father would force me to recite it from the heart, it was quite a pain, all honesty.

Evelyn nudged her sister with her nose causing Rina to smiled "Okay I guess it's alright." Evelyn smiles a wolfish grin as she started to lick her face causing Reina to giggled. Then she stopped and turned to Mark who just stood up holding his wounds. Then she shifted back into her human form. A bit of her jet black hair had come out from her hat, and her emerald green eyes shined even in the dead of the night, her cheeks were a rosy pink from the cold.

She nodded to Mark then turned to us "Okay everyone we're going to set up camp here for the rest of the night. So will three of you go out into the woods to fetch some firewood?" Just as she said that three people left our group heading into the woods. She nodded "Okay now can two people search the area for any potential threats. And can another try to search around and see if there's a source of water even if it's a frozen stream because we can cook it over the fire until it's water again." And just as she said that four other people left to go do their chores they have decided to do themselves. "Okay, now Kyle do you think you and Erik can go out and find something that we might be able to eat." He nodded and I shifted "But what about you and Mark it's not fair that everyone else has a chore, but you guys." She smiled sadly causing my heart sink a bit at her sad expression. Just as quickly as it appeared it disappeared just as quickly. "Mark and I will have first watch tonight." I nodded before heading out with Kyle to hopefully find some food.
