Game of Destiny – A Thrilling Tale of Power, Love & Fate

The playful mood stayed with us into the next day. Sam suggested we all go for a run in the woods and since none of us,

except Amie, had shifted since we got here, we all agreed. As I shifted to my blond wolf, I felt the joy he felt at being free

to run. The fifteen of us stretched our legs in the woods and after an hour of exploring, we found a large meadow with

grass and wildflowers. A brook ran across it and it made me think of our pack land. Amie started a game of tags with Sam

and soon most of the others had joined in. My aunt came to sit next to me as we watched the other wolves zoom across

the meadow.

‘They are having fun,’ she remarked.

‘Yes. It will do them good,’ I agreed. After a while, they seemed to have had enough of playing and went in search of a

good place to rest or went off to hunt a rabbit or two. Amie came walking over to us and sat down next to me. Her

tongue was hanging out and her eyes glowed with happiness.

‘You should have joined us,’ she told me.

‘I had more fun watching,’ I said.

‘Coward, afraid that I would beat you,’ she corrected me. My wolf snorted.

‘In your dreams.’ I could swear she was laughing at me. My aunt rolled her eyes and walked away. Amie found a

comfortable spot in the grass and lay down. I lay next to her and we both looked out over the brook.

‘Take a nap,’ Amie told me in our private link.

‘I don’t do that,’ I said.

‘Nap? Because I have seen you do it.’

‘Nap on unknown land,’ I clarified. She rolled her eyes at me.

‘I will stay awake and keep an eye on things,’ she promised.

‘Why don’t you take a nap and I will keep watch?’

‘Because you always keep watch, you make sure the rest of us can play while you keep us safe. But you need to relax as well. We don’t know what is coming in the next few days. So take this opportunity to relax,’ she insisted.

‘I can relax when we get home.’

‘And you say I am stubborn. Just take a nap, or I will ask Sam to knock you out,’ she said. I was mostly objecting because

I liked our banter. I could see she was serious, so I put my head down on my paws and focused on the sound of the wind

in the grass, the warm summer sun and Amie’s scent. I was drifting off before I knew it.

Amie woke me up by gently buffing me with her nose.

‘Time to wake up. I need to get back and help Matilda with dinner,’ she told me. I was trying to shake the sleep from my

brain.
