Prologue ~

 

 

She sat there staring at the starry night sky, the full moon behind her. The moonlight illuminated her silver and black winter coat and made the snow-covered trees glisten in the hours of darkness. The wolf looked behind her at the slowly setting moon. In a few hours the sun would rise, and soon after that the humans would.

 

The wolf yawned and stretched her legs. She stood and walked through the Pine, Sycamore, Chestnut, and Oak trees that made up the forests surrounding her home. The lush woodlands, which she never got tired of and never would, calmed her. The trees, the flowers, the brush, the various wildlife; they mesmerized her, entrancing her. She saw them everyday, saw things no human could ever see, and yet, to her, it always felt like a new experience.

 

It was an 8-mile trek to the wolf's home. With the sun rising, nocturnal animals were finding places to sleep. And tired animals meant bitter animals. With a final glance at the moon and howl to the lightening sky, the wolf changed her leisurely pace to a dead run. The wind whipped through her fur making her feel as though she were flying.

 

Within 30 minutes she was already halfway home. And still she ran; enjoying the freedom the fresh air gave her. Soon other wolves joined her, smaller in size than she. A pack that knew her well and never bothered to chase her out of their territory.

 

After a while the pack left her, catching the scent of humans nearby. Still she ran, her image distorted by the trees that flew by. And then the wolf was gone, replaced by the image of a beautiful young woman.
