"They're cinnamon with apple Jam. I do promise they are to die for." The taller mans eyes narrowed, "did you give the poor fool dead on the road a cookie?" My lips parted, "a dead man? Oh my..do you think it is safe?" "..depends on who you are miss, why did you say you were in the woods again?" I smiled gently, "I didn't." He rose a brow. "I'm delivering these," I shook the basket a bit, "to my dearest grandmama." He hesitated for only a slight second, "oh. well. be careful then. These woods can be dangerous." I nodded once still holding out the basket, "so would you?" "Would we what?" I giggle a bit, "like a cookie silly." "Ah.." he scratched the back of his head, "sorry, I'm not too fond of apples." Damn it. I sighed softly, "strawberry next time then." "Right..." As I turned to go I looked up at the two tall men, "you be careful now too gentleman. There are wolves in these woods." They nodded rigidly as I spun and began to skip off, giggling to myself. He asked the wrong question. I didn't give the dead fool a cookie. I gave him two.

"Du kannst versuchen es zu leugnen, dich zu widersetzen und mich von dir fern zu halten. Ich werde aber nicht aufgeben, Ella.", knurrte er leise und kam langsamen Schrittes auf mich zu.

Die siebzehnjährige Marie hatte sich so sehr auf die Kursfahrt mit ihrem Englisch-Leistungskurs gefreut, der sie dieses Jahr in die USA führen würde. Wie hätte sie auch ahnen können, dass sich während einer Höhlenbesichtigung in den Schwarzen Bergen von South Dakota ihr ganzes Leben auf einen Schlag ändern würde: Die Berührung eines Kristalls versetzt sie ins neunzehnte Jahrhundert zurück - in die Zeit der Indianerkriege.

Being in the army was difficult, to begin with. Being an army medic and surgeon was even harder. Being the only human where I am stationed is probably the hardest thing in the world. Most of the people there didn't like me because I was human. The werewolf, vampires, witches, and warlocks didn't take me seriously at all at first. Until they realized I would do anything for them. Humans weren't very happy about the takeover, but when only 30% of the population is actually human you don't get a lot of say. I didn't want a mate for that reason I got rid of my scent, but touch would break that. If my mate touched me even if it was just to brush past me he would notice. I was crossing my fingers that I didn't have a mate, unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Highest Rank: #2 in Werewolf 12/23/17
