Werewolf Pride

Werewolf Pride5

A/N- I'm sorry that I only uploaded once last week, because I know that I told you I'd try to upload twice a week. High school caught up with me.

I pulled out of my inner world, feeling slightly dizzy. I caught the other world grinning at me. 'Go seek out your mate, youngling. I have a feeling that you just discovered him.'

'Thank you, friend. I owe you a debt of gratitude.' With that, I turned and trotted off, my tail waving and my heart high.

Ethan's POV

I knew by the feeling in my heart that my mate was found, but I didn't know who she was. I delved into myself, and, to my surprise, I discovered Jaeda's bond-soul in my heart. I sensed her coming towards me and sat, waiting. She padded up, looking nervous.

'What do you need? Can I help?'

'Maybe. I discovered who my mate is, and I don't know how to tell him. What do I do?'

'Follow your instincts. Let them guide you. Listen to your heart. It will guide you well.'

Jaeda's POV

I thought about his advice, and tried to open up the chamber where my instincts lived. I felt a rush as my wolf took over. She playfully pounced on Ethan, nipping his fur and darting away. He glanced at me, startled, and let his wolf loose. He darted at me, equally playfully, and we began playing wolf tag. My wolf felt like running, so she took off, and Ethan followed, running at my shoulder. He sped up, taking the lead and directing where we ran. He led us to a clearing deep in the woods, where a small cave occupied the center. He turned to look at me, his tail waving proudly. 'This is home when I'm in wolf form. What do you think?'

'It's beautiful. When did you find it?'

'Several years ago, I was wandering, and I discovered it. I knew that it was the home of my wolf. I'm glad that you like it.' I walked up to him slowly, and, letting my instincts take over, I nuzzled the side of his neck. He hesitated for an instant, and nuzzled me back in the same place. I felt a tingle on my neck, and I watched as a red line snaked up and curled around his neck, looking for the entire world like a red necklace. I felt a click in my soul as the soul-bond was made between us, linking us for eternity. An unexpected noise and smell at the edge of the clearing brought our heads up sharply. A strange-looking wolf stood there, staring at us.

'Who are you?'

'I'm Victor. I'm not a werewolf. I'm a lycan. And I have a message for you.'
