The Way of the Wolves

1- Elora

The sun was bright and the day was almost done. Winter was melting into spring and the werewolves were having their pups. The time had now come for the Ash-bridge pack alpha female to birth her very first pup. The alpha female, Reliha, and the alpha male, Folan, stood side by side as their pup took her first steps and opened her big blue eyes. "She is gorgeous" Reliha said with a large smile on her grey muzzle. Reliha was a gorgeous wolf herself with a grey face and a black body with white spots on it.

"She will grow up to be a strong Alpha female one day" Folan said lying down on a patch of snow that still remained from the harsh winter, his black coat looked striking against the white. Folan was a very attractive, pure black wolf except for his eyes which were white and very intimidating. "Maybe she will grow up to be as beautiful as her mother" He said as Reliha laid down next to him. Reliha laughed and nipped his ear.

The rest of the spring Folan taught his daughter how to fight in wolf form. While Reliha taught her how to cook and look after the pack.

in the next 5 summers, Folan taught her how to fight in human form with a sword and continued showing her how to fight in wolf form. Now it was time to learn about the humans.

"Why can't we see the humans?" Elora asked one evening. Elora had turned out to have long chocolate brown hair with bright blue eyes. In wolf form she had a beautiful structure with long legs and her fur was sorrel with blended colours of grey and a black on her face. She had four tan paws that ran up her feet like a vine, ending just below her knee.

"The humans are very dangerous" Reliha told Elora with a very serious face.

The 3 wolves were in a cave that was half filled with water from the giant river that flowed through it and a hole in the roof that let the wolves get in and out by jumping- it was a very good child lock for when Elora was younger. The only problem was that Elora was terrified by water.

"They are selfish and have killed very many of us," Folan spoke with a voice that would make every wolf less dominant then him fall to his knees in submission to their alpha. Elora stayed standing, knowing the way if the wolves.

"Why would they want to kill us?" Elora asked very curious of these creatures called humans.

" You must stay as far away as possible from them, do you understand?" Reliha said not wanting her first and only daughter to get hurt. If any human ever touched her she would rip their limbs off one by one. She smiled at the thought of what Folan, being a male and more protective, might do to anyone who touched Elora.

"Yes, mother" Elora replied her head hung low in submission. She wanted to know more about the humans, but something inside her told her she wouldn't like it.

So Elora grew and so did her curiosity for humans, But she obeyed her mother and never went near, until she was old enough.

When Elora turned 16 she and her best friend started hunting for humans, she loved a good fight and often won

one year no one came into the forest, for they had heard that anyone who enters never comes back except for the king.
