Episode Four

The bright afternoon sun streams in through the window, alerting me of the time that's passed.

Lifting my head i glance next to me where

Kyle should be, the seat is cold and empty;he must've left a few hours ago,but smile at the fleecy blanket he's placed on top of me.

I sigh why couldn't he be my mate. "Because our mate will be better than Kyle" Jane says

Sure sure, I mutter to myself, noticing how it is only now that she decides to speak up.

Lifting the blanket off, I stretch my relaxed

muscles, now would be the perfect time to go for a run.

Exiting the house I transform into my wolf form,Jane was pure white auite a rare colour,The majority of the wolves had a brown coat, my brothers did so did my Dad, but inherited the beautiful silk white colour from my Mum.

Being in my wolf form all my senses were

enhanced, everything became clearer and

my favourite part was that I was able to see further into the distance.

Where are we heading Jane says excitedly,as I begin to sprint through the forest creating my own path.

Compared to other wolves Jane and I had

a very good relationship but l was beginning to become concerned that the mate issue would place a strain on this relationship.

She didn't care who we had a mate, she just wanted him right now, I just wanted my mate freedom and independence to last for a little longer, another year would be nice, but deep inside i knew that my freedom would be curtailed sooner than i wanted.

The afternoon was always my favourite time to go running, the forrest was devoid of all wolves, my Dad, the Alpha had warned all the female pack members that it was too dangerous and unsafe to go at night; in case there was ever a rogue that slipped through our carefully guarded perimeter.

Naturally everyone listened to him, but it

wasn't an alpha command and the guards

didn't arrive at the perimeter until later so

had the whole forest to myself, this made

Jane and I extremely happy.

Dad, my brothers and Kyle always assumed that I was in the dining hall eating dinner, resulting in most nights sneaking food into my room, but the empty forrest was always worth it.

The setting sun shone brightly through the tree's, in its final attempt to provide light.

Relinquish control over my body, I happily

allow Emma to take control. She darts in

and out of the tree's pushing herself to the maximum speed.

Jane slows down as she nears the small

pond full of water and I use this moment to take back control of my wolf-form.

Drinking from the water, it quickly

replenishes my energy and I'm eager to run again.

Glancing up the sky, I'm shocked at how

much time has passed. The sky is sprinkled with tiny stars scattered across the horizon.

Sighing, as much as I wanted to run, I knew that I needed to head back to the pack, my Dad and over-protective brothers will be fuming if they discovered, i spent my evening's running through the forest.

When my Mum was killed by rogues a few

years ago, Dad fell into a state of depression. The first few months were the worst, he sat frozen in his room blaming himself entirely for her death.

Andrew was fourteen at the moment and

was forced to take on the alpha

responsibilities as Dad slowly recovered,

those months were the worst of my entire

life.

After Dad healed, he promised that he would protect me to the best of his ability, which is why he had guards patrolling the outskirts of the pack every night.

As I slowly head backI come across the

irresistible smell of vanilla and a smell of

fresh rain. Deciding to follow the scent

which leads me away from the pack house and towards a small clearing east of the village The delicious scents become stronger and by the timel enter the clearing its Overpowering.

The moon provides ample light to scout the clearing and my eyes fall upon two pitch black wolves in the distance.
