"If you want to rule the darkness, you must first rule the light..."
She is his light. The only one who is able to see through his dark exterior and bring out his hidden emotions. He hasn't genuinely felt in ages and he doesn't plan to anytime soon...
I skipped the rest of the afternoon, not in the mood to deal with anyone or anything. It's only history and weaponry/advanced fighting which I'm pretty sure I excel at already. To be honest, I needed to calm myself down from earlier events and right now I'd love to be alone and shift to let off some steam.
I jogged home which took me 30 min, enjoying the peace amongst the trees while the sun rays hit my face. As I neared the pack house I began to hum my favorite song called Wicked Game:
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you It's strange what desire will make foolish people do I'd never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you And I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't want to fall in love No, I don't want to fall in love With you
What a wicked game you played to make me feel this way What a wicked thing to do to let me dream of you What a wicked thing to say you never felt this way What a wicked thing to do to make me dream of you
No-o I-I- don't wanna fa-a-ll in lo-o-v-e-e-
My singing got interrupted by a small girl from my pack who stopped me in my tracks and sobbed, "Lexi, I can-n't fi-find m-my br-brother." She looked horrible. Her brown hair was a mess and dried blood could be seen down the side of her face.
"Mia what's wrong? Take a deep breath and explain to me what happened." I said with concern filling my voice. She stopped crying but lightly hiccuped as she spoke, "Jay-Jay is missing.....we were playing with our toys over there in that field and then.....and then he lost his favorite teddy bear and went to look for it in the bushes. I told him not to go far but I got distracted by some butterflies and chased them. I wasn't looking and I tripped and hit my head. I think I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up it was 2h later and Jay-Jay still wasn't there. I looked everywhere Lexi but I couldn't find him."
"Get back in the pack house Mia, I will go look for him and bring him back to you. Don't worry I'm sure he's okay, he probably got distracted by something and lost track of time." I said just as I began heading into the forest. I stripped off my white blouse and black pants to get ready for my transformation. I wouldn't want to wreck my clothes in my wolf form or let a stranger see me naked even though I'm not shy to show off my body. As wolves we are very connected to nature so being naked is something we are all used to but as an unmated wolf, I don't want to grab the attention of anyone who is not my mate. Although that doesn't matter anymore......
I felt my bones breaking as I welcomed the transformation. After our first shift at 16, our bodies get used to the pain and every subsequent shift is less and less painful and much quicker. The speed of transformation is very effective when you're against an enemy because the one who transforms faster has the upper hand of cutting off the other's shift and ultimately killing their opponent.
I got down on all fours as my smooth skin became covered in light grey hair. To describe my wolf, well I was not the average sized wolf but slightly bigger due to my alpha blood. My fur was a light grey color with streaks of white. What made me special was that under the effects of the moon, my fur gives off a turquoise/teal coloration for reasons I don't know. I guess it's something encoded in my wolf genes from my father's side because his father, or my grandfather, had the same teal coloration on his fur. Yet this trait skipped my brother and I was the "lucky" one to inherit such a mutation.
