I would watch them; they were fascinating. They would raise their ears when they heard noise. Or their bodies would hum with joy and content. They played and interacted with one another, jumping, tugging, biting, pulling and chasing each other. Their eyes would shine when they experienced an overwhelming emotion. They were always together eating, cleaning, talking and helping one another. It was nice to see what a big united family they were. It also made me feel a little sad that I didn’t get to grow up in this environment. I also noticed the hierarchy in the pack. Even the Omega’s played a part in the welfare of the pack. Everyone worked together, serving one another. They also seemed to resemble their human in wolf form. The eye color, hair color could be shades different but they all had their own distinct smell. I know there is still so much to learn. This morning after I woke up I went for a run; I was up to three miles now. At first all I could do was walk. It was difficult but was getting easier. After my shower I got dressed in my sunshine yellow sundress. I wanted to wear it because I was happy and yellow was definitely a happy color. I paired it with some gold sandals and gold earrings. Of course I left my necklace on. I headed down the trail to the main cabin to have breakfast with my dad. It had become a daily routine for us. He would tell me more about the pack and we would share stories about the years we missed together. I always met the others at the main cabin because they were usually taking care of their pack duties. My dad wanted to make sure I had healed completely before he put me to work. I enjoyed the way my dress danced around my knees. It made me feel giddy and I was hoping the way it hugged my body might impress Enoc. The feel of the gravel, dirt and twigs crunching underneath my feet was satisfying. Thinking about Enoc started making me feel a little anxious. He was so sweet and kind the first day I was here and since then he has rarely spoken to me. It was very confusing. I wasn’t sure if I had imagined the connection between us. I wasn’t even sure he had any real feelings for me. The last thing I was thinking of was Enoc. The picture of Enoc in my head, as my body crashed into the gravel. I didn’t even get a chance to put my hands out to protect my body. I felt the gravel grate against my knees and forearms. It stung and blood dripped down my knees. Rolling over quickly to sit up, I brushed my hair away from my face with the back of my hand to see what or who had knocked me down. Looking around with panic on my face I saw him. The gray wolf. “Jerem y,” I said under my breath. His gray ears lift ed at the mention of his name. It almost seems like he smiled but all I saw were his sharp teeth dripping with saliva. A deep growl came from his chest. I knew he was warning me. He moved towards me and I saw a bright light shimmer around him and the wolf was gone. The human Jeremy stood in front of me. “Hello Olivi a,” he said with his wicked smile. Before I ha d a chance to defend myself his closed fist connects with my face. The force of it made me fall back. My head rang and my eyes went blurry. I reached up and touched my swollen cheek. He had already spun me into his body. My back was pressed into his chest. His hand covered my mouth. I remembered the smell of cloves before he suffocated me making me pass out. I hated that smell. Disoriented I awaken to the smell of a campfire. It must be early evening because the moon had started to make an appearance. The stars were starting to occupy and sparkle in the sky. My mind was still fuzzy and my head hurt. I opened my eyes and looked around but I don’t see anyone. I did know I was still in the forest because all I could see were trees, bushes and shrubbery. Warmth from the fire seeped into my back and started to
