2 Running With The Alphas

JULY

The tent sides opened slowly. The Alphas howled rather loudly from the forest facing them. Mika's heart jumped to her throat, and her breathing increased rapidly.

" Let The Run begin! " The voice boomed through the tent. She could feel it reverberate in her chest. Everything started to slow down around her. Girls passed her, shifting in the process, and bound out towards the woods determined to try to find their mate in the Alphas.

She was so nervous.. She took off running eventually like the other girls, and watched as they all shifted around her. She found herself stunned for a moment wondering why they had shifted so early? Then she realized she was supposed to as well, and cursed under her breath.

Her nerves were going to embarrass the living hell out of her! Not to mention in front of a bunch of rowdy ass alpha wolves. "This isn't the time girl. Get ahold of yourself!" She snapped in her mind.

Nina cheered her on from the sidelines of her mind. " He's waiting. Get going! I know he is out there somewhere. He smells amazing~ "

As she ran by them, Mika thought many of the girls had beautiful wolves, but she questioned her own.. She was a whiteish brown, creamy mixed wolf. Other girls had what she considered beautiful, sleek, single colored coats. Brown, Light brown, some were pure white, and some were red. . All so pretty. Of course a few girls had multicolored fur like herself. But, it was more defined, and the patterns showed better. Her colors blended. All of her thoughts turned to doubts; normally resulting in her putting herself down considerably.

"You are hesitating. Shift!" Nina barked in the back of her mind.

She cleared her mind, and tried to stop hesitating. Tried not to focus on anything else except shifting. Within minutes she burst out into her wolf. Her tattered clothes fluttered to the ground behind her. Her shift was always quick, and she always did it gracefully.

Okay, Almost always.

Her speed picked up, and she took off quickly catching up to the end of the girls. She started passing them, and pushed harder. The freedom of being a wolf was quickly consuming her very essence. Was she this fast? Or were they catching a big old case of nerves now as well?

Sure she'd grown up running and playing with the hunters but surely she wasn't that fast.. Then again they were able to catch deer, and sometimes even wild cats within seconds once spotted. Or maybe the speed was genetic? Crystalleaf was known for having fast and agile wolves.

She kept going, pushing any lingering thoughts out of her mind, breaking into the forest at the head of the pack. It was beautiful tonight, the dew fell off of branches and leaves. The wind felt wonderful against her muzzle. The smell of fresh water and dirt mixed together invaded her senses. The fresh rainfall had done the woods good, and sent a sense of ease through her. She felt a buzz of delight as she dug her paws down harder propelling her faster.

" Go Mika, go!"

A giant stony colored wolf bounded out in front of her, and she tried to skid to a stop. The pull wasn't there at all. He stared her down as she approached. That was one way to find a Luna.. Be the first thing the girls see when they break the tree line. Or one was to scare them into being your Luna..

"Screw this...No pull, no stay. "

He was scary looking, and he had a strong scent. Though, it didn't smell right, or feel right. Not at all. She leaned down low, and went through his legs happily evading his body or being stopped by him. The girl kept going just happy to be running. This wasn't so bad so far. Though she wondered if any alpha ever got mad from stunts like the one she just pulled?
