Chapter 1
It was a quiet, mildly foggy morning. Nothing was going on in particular.
I was in my full wolf form. I was mostly black, with flecks of silver-grey fur throughout and a silver stripe running down my back to my head. I had golden eyes.
I was on the edge of town, sitting down and looking at a house across the road. There was a woman there. She seemed nice enough, friendly to her neighbours.
I decided to move a little closer to her house and sit directly outside her front garden gate.
She stepped outside to water some plants.
She looked up and saw me.
I froze.
She looked me directly in the eyes and said, “Wow, you’re quite something to look at, aren’t you? Beautiful fur. Your mate is lucky, whoever she is.”
I didn’t move.
I stayed perfectly still as she finished and headed back inside.
