Chapter 1
Annie POV
Feeling the wind in my fur is one of the best feelings in the world. The freedom. I know it would look weird to a human to see a 6 foot, red wolf with a backpack hanging from its jaws. But in the werewolf world it's more common.
But I have to be careful andavoid the pack borders around me or I'll be in deep shit. If a pack heard about a huge red wolf running around they would come after me, not to mention try and kill me.
Red wolves aren't common, actually they are pretty rare. Last I heard there were only around 1,000 in the states. That's real low.
My wolf form is pretty different from my human form, in human form I'm 5'5, have an attractive body and wavy mid-back length brown hair.
Not to mention my eyes, in human form they are a forest green, but in wolf form they are a piercing yellow. It scares some people. My size isnt normal, usually she-wolves are around 5'7 to 5'9 in wolf form. Almost everything about me isn't normal. Most people think I'm a guy, but hey I'm bigger and stronger so I ain't complaining.
Running is amazing, it makes me feel free. I don't like being in a pack. They tie you down and you have to listen to people above you, being a rogue is amazing you can't be told what to do. There is no one above you. You're free...
I stopped running when I heard a twig snap. It could just be a dear but I like to be sure so I crouch down and crawl to the sound. I peek around a bush and see a little boy around 7 huddled in a ball against a tree.
"Look at the little shit. He hit me!" A guy around 30 said said.
"I say we kill him." Another guy said.
"Yeah, let's dump his body at the edge of the territory" Oh hell no. I know that I won't be able to leave without doing something, so I put down my bag and wait for a good time.
It didn't take long for one of them to move towards him, so I pounced.
I jump on the first guy and start tearing at his throat "Shit! He-" he is cut off when I finally get to his jugular and tare it out. The other guy starts backing away while I go to the kid and put him behind a bush so he can't see what I'm about to do. "Hey dude, I'm sure we can work this out!" Pathetic. He doesn't even fight. Fucking pussy.
He doesn't even have time before I pounce and his screams are cut short. Looking at him he had blood dripping from his throat. Well, what used to be his throat.
I quickly run over to a small river and rinse off the blood so I don't scare the kid. Walking slowly to the bush I hear a quiet sob.
Shit. I hope I didn't scare him to much, I mean I did kill a guy in front of him. How dumb am I? He's probably terrified.
Still walking slowly I stick my head through the bush but I get a smack on my nose and pull away. Did he really just slap my nose? I whine to get his attention. About 3 seconds later he puts his head through and looks at me with fear in his eyes. "D-did I hurt you?"
I shake my head.
"Did y-you get rid of those mean guys?"
I nod.
"Thank you mister."
I huff. It's probably better if he thinks I'm a guy. 'Doesn't mean I like it' Olive, my wolf speaks up. 'Get over it, it's not for long. We just need to get him back to his pack.'
Snapping me out of the conversation with my wolf he speaks up "I like your eyes." I tilt my head in confusion because no one has ever liked them before, usually they are afraid. This kid is weird but not in a bad way.
Right, I need to know what to call this kid so I stop just calling him "kid".
I use my claws to try and write 'name?' in the mud. "Na- oh you wanna know my name?"
Now I actually look at him he is pretty cute. He has messy dark hair, a fair complection and light blue eyes that look like they're full of wonder.
I nod. "I'm Ethan" He puts out his hand to shake. I put my paw in his hand and it's double the size of his.
It's like something out of a kids movie.
Now I actually look at him he is pretty cute. He has messy dark hair, a fair complection and light blue eyes that look like they're full of wonder.
Anyway, I need to take him back to his pack. His parents are probably worried sick.
I try to write in the mud again 'Pack?'
"Pack? Oh I'm from the Blood Moon Pack. Are you gonna help me get home mister?" I nod.
"Thank you!" He hugs my leg and I flinch. "I think I'm gonna call you Sunny" I tilt my head. " Well your eyes are shiny and yellow, like the sun!"
I let out a laugh, which probably sounds weird as a wolf.
Right then, Blood Moon Pack is about 12 miles north and it's getting dark so we probably should walk a little and then we can rest for the night and then I can take him home in the morning. I bark and lie down so he can get on my back, it will be easier instead of his tiny legs getting tired.
I grab my backpack and hold it in my mouth as he climbes onto my back.
Blood Moon Pack here we come...
