The Mate Legacy

Euphoria

Seth's POV

It was dark and the air was moist. It had only just stopped raining moments ago as I watched the droplets of rain fall from leaf to soil. I looked up to the crescent moon, and the gleaming stars. The details that I could see with my enhanced eyes were amazing, I stared into space memorized.

It's crazy how fast your life can change. I looked down to my large paws. I could see each strand of fur blowing with the wind; everything was so clear even in this darkness.

All my other pack members had gone out to a bonfire. The bonfires were great. The bright, lively fire rose high into the sky as elders told past stories to the pack members and their imprints. The La Push community would slowly gather around throughout the night listening to the legendary stories. There would be lots of food and drinks, lots of laughter and joy, it was always a great atmosphere.

Although tonight here I was in wolf form, alone and in the woods. I wanted to be alone in my thoughts so I took the shift tonight. I also knew how much my pack brothers wanted a break, we have been on the hunt nonstop for this new vampire called Victoria. We hadn't caught her scent in months but we always had someone on duty in case she decided to make an appearance again.

Suddenly, I hear a twig snap. I immediately perk up, my body facing the direction of the noise.

What was that? I raise my black nose towards the sky, smelling the air. There was no scent of vampire but I could smell something in the air that was unfamiliar. I curiously walk towards the sound, my paws lightly touching the moist soil as I stayed low to the ground.

I could feel the air tightening with tension, something was there but I don't know who or what. I didn't feel afraid, more curious and I felt a desire to continue on to see what was there. I could feel them become still, they were looking at me far beyond in the woods. I knew what they were thinking. In this moment, I could literally feel the air between us. Nothing made a sound except the howling of the wind. I could not see whoever was there but I could feel them.

We were still and then we were running.

I chased the unknown, darting between trees and leaping over logs. My claws shredded the earth behind me. I was gaining up on them as the scent became stronger. It wasn't long before I broke into the large meadow and there she stood.

A beautiful, petite brown wolf. She stood elegantly crouched to the ground, baring her teeth at me.
Her structure was very feminine and I have never seen a wolf so small, my pack brothers, even Leah would all tower over her small frame.

I stood there, curious, showing no aggression. I found myself immediately drawn to her. All I could see was her, and I couldn't take my eyes off of her. I have never seen anything so beautiful; I have never felt like this before.

I didn't realize I had transformed, completely naked to her as I walked closer and closer completely memorized. I could see her dark eyes widen, as she stepped back tentatively still in wolf form.

I immediately froze, "No," I whispered. "I don't want to hurt you." I ensured her softly, as I knelt to the wet ground, exposing my vulnerability. "I'm Seth" I pointed to myself, stating slowly. I could see that she was nervous, but there was this look in her eyes and the way her body moved that made me realize that she was just as curious as I was. I knew she could feel what I felt, it was so strong. The air between felt pulling, felt tempting. The more I watched her, the more I wanted her, needed her. The wolf in me felt overpowering, mind consuming. This desire within me felt so unknown but the instincts seemed to drive me in, towards her.

A white light shined around her wolf form and she illuminated this bright glowing light transforming into her human form. She softly landed on the ground crouched and slowly rising, to look back into my eyes. She stood before me bare; her lightly tanned skin glowed in the lush dark space. Her long chocolate brown hair danced around her body, moving with the chilled breeze. Her large brown eyes stared at me. Was that desire in her eyes? Did she want me as much as I wanted her? She slowly walked towards me, looking as captivated as I felt.
