perfectly imperfect

He sprinted through the dark forest with me on his back having the time of my life. He ran so fast we practically flew to the packhouse. I buried my face in the crook of his neck because I was finding it hard to breathe at the speed he was going in.

When we came to a stop, we were stood in front of this large structure making my father's mansion look like one of the miniature dollhouses I used to have as a child.

It stretched out as about ten New York blocks and looked like a mix between modern structures and a classic fairy-tale castle. It was surrounded by thick forestry as far as the eye could see it no wonder we got lost once or twice.

The middle of the huge driveway was a beautifully crafted 35 feet marble statue of a woman only covered her lower half in a stone sheet perfectly detailed to look as if it were falling off. The rest of her body completely bare as she knelt with her head down. Below her water flowed down like a miniature waterfall onto the pond bellow illuminated by dark blue lights submerged in it making the appearance of it practically mesmerizing. I nearly forgot how big this place was.

I got off Connors back only so I could take a closer look at the pond. He tried to stop me, but I was too fast for him. I used my wolf speed to get across the huge gap between the water and the statues' base and climbed up onto its shoulder like I used to do before although it was harder back then without my wolf.

I used to love sneaking away and climbing up here to watch the stars at night, listening to the calming water clash together. It was already dark, and the millions of stars already light up the darkness with the help of the crescent moonlight shining bright trough the thick tree branches huddled close together

"Ari get off the statue you're going to get me in trouble" I heard Connor yell from the ground.

I shook my head no smiling down at him cheekily. His frown turned to an amused smirk before he jumped across the pond landing gracefully on the base of the statue.

"well see about that princess" he chuckled cracking his neck before using his limited climbing skills, slipping more than once and making me laugh, to try and join me on her shoulder. It was fun watching him struggle to get up here since it was such a breeze for me but when he finally did, I knew I was in trouble.

As soon as I was within reach, he started mercilessly tickling the life out of me. If I didn't know better, I'd think he had a tickling fetish. When he felt I had been punished enough he let me go causing me to fall off, but he caught me just in time.

"Are you going to go down willingly now sis" he asked all smug dangling my body with one of my hands. I went from laughter to complete terror. I nodded furiously as he pulled me up. He jumped off first again landing gracefully then I jumped into his open arms, instinctively wrapping my legs around his torso and my hands around his neck and his went around my body. I felt him chuckle as he jumped back to the other side.

"Common let's go find your father munchkin" we were about to start walking when I smelt the most amazing scent in existence that got my wolf all excited up causing my body to tense up. I felt Connor tense up too. We looked at each other before it hit us where the smell was coming from. Or should I say whom?

We heard three growls behind me, and I recognized one of them as my father. "put her down" daddy growled angrily.

I realized Connor was still holding me until he dropped me on my butt. I looked up at him shocked and a little mad to see that his eyes were fixed on someone behind me. I didn't dare look back I just sat on the dirt frozen looking the other way. I landed on my butt and just so you know that really hurt.

I heard my dad come closer picking me up of the ground and smacking Connor on the back of his head causing him to snap out of his trance. "I didn't mean drop her you imbecile" he growled putting me on his hip like a child before walking over towards the other wolves. i am 5'0 in comparison to my father who stands at a proud 6 feet i might as well have been a fetus
