***Vanessa***

 

The forest comes alive with shadows dancing between the trees as I rush through, the sounds of howling wolves echoing all around me.  I can do this… I can do this… I repeat to myself as I put weight on my injured foot. It doesn‘t hurt as much, but I can‘t tell if it‘s the adrenaline or my wolf healing it. Both, the little voice whispers.  I stop dead in my tracks when I feel a presence nearby and listen to the rustling of the trees  Danger… my wolf murmurs. Duck!

I don‘t question her and drop to my knees, a large wolf pouncing over me and narrowly missing me. scramble to my feet and face my attacker, recognizing the wolf as he shifts into his human.  “Brody…”I gasp, stumbling back against a tree.

“Luna,” he snickers. “Or should I still call you that?” he scoffs, looking behind me. “Where are your friends? I woke up all alone.”

“You must be used to that by now,” I mutter, Brody‘s smirk morphing into a snarl.

He doesn‘t seem to notice my own shadow shifting into sharpened tendrils but a group of wolves emerge from the trees behind him, and I stop moving them to get a better sense of what I am dealing with.

“You know, I was going to go easy on you as a courtesy for being Luna all these years…but now?” he shrugs. “I think I‘ll have some fun. Let‘s see how good that p***y really is.”

My wolf growls with disgust as the men circle me and I feel her anger coursing through my veins.

No more games, she snarls. Our sister needs us!

Pain suddenly radiates from my temples, slowly spreading across my face and down my neck. The agonizing tingle shivers down my spine and I collapse on my hands and knees, my back arching as I let out a painful howl.

My skin burns and itches as tufts of soft brown fur sprout across my body and my fingertips sting as claws and paws take the place of my hands. I shake with fear as I hear the cracking and shifting of my bones and once again howl in agony.

“She‘s shifting!” Brody shouts, rushing at me.

At the sign of danger, my wolf takes over completely, and I feel myself drift back as she pounces on Brody.

Her paws pin him to the ground and she buries her canines into his throat. Before the other wolves can strike, my shadow tendrils take form and attack, the wolves howling in shock as wounds appear on their bodies.

One by one, they all fall at the hands of the shadows, leaving my lone wolf standing in the wake of their destruction. I stare down at my furry body, in awe of my new form.

Do you like what you see? My wolf giggles sheepishly. I am sorry I am a little small. I am a runt.

You‘re perfect, I whisper, climbing off of Brody‘s corpse, the feeling of walking on all fours both strange and exciting. I can’t believe it! I‘m a wolf!

T–thank you, my wolf says timidly, her giddiness and relief contagious. My name is Paloma, my wolf adds quietly, shaking the blood from her fur. It‘s so nice to finally meet you.

A distant howl brings me back to reality and a feeling of dread washes over me.

I have to help

Natalia.

Then there‘s no time waste,  Paloma murmurs, taking off in the direction of the pack house.

“Have you acquired the pup!?” I snarl at my patrol men.
