Elder Nora walked through the forest, taking in the story that Kate had told her. It was tragic that the poor kit would have drowned if not for the two owl shifters. They were known quite well throughout the shifter world and many shifters thought of them as the Watchers of the Council. It would be befitting since they always managed to show up when someone was in trouble, almost as though they had the magic of the old world.

Nora shook her head at that idea and took note of the trees around her. The brown bark turned to white with black eyes that saw everything. An aspen groove that was hidden by the verdant forest. A true spectacular for those who did not know the forest well.

Nora took in a breath and perked her ears to hear the soft breeze whistling through the leaves. She smelled that of blossoming wild berries and the return of prey, old and new.

She continued her walk until she reached a clearing where a great weeping willow stood in the center. It's bark looked as though it

    The forest was just beginning to awaken as Oli stepped out of the hollow. His sister had left earlier, most likely to hunt, and he had left soon after to meet with Elder Nora. The crisp morning air filled his lungs as he walked upon a trail that he had known since he was a kit.It was trail that his sister had led him on so many times that he had lost count years ago. A trail that in the summer smelt of wild blackberries and wildflowers. A trail that was a memory to never be forgotten.It had been five years. Since their abandonment and three since Oli's bad experience with shifting. Spring had come and left, making way for the heat of summer. From what his sister described to him, the forest was a deep green and prey had returned in plenty. Kate had been training him on how to stalk and no matter how hard he tried to sneak up on his sister, he could never surprise her. She always knew he was there, either by his scent or by the many sounds he'd make. Each time he failed, was another l

    Kate had awoken to the sound of her brother leaving. She said nothing as she listened to him leave their hollow, his pawsteps quiet as he tried not to disturb her sleep. His pawsteps faded and Kate decided to get up but paused as the scent of Ami filled her nose. "Why hello sleepy head." Ami said her gold colored eyes glowing. "What do you want?" Kate asked ignoring the feelings she got if she stared to long into those golden eyes.Ami took a step back startled by Kate's hostility. "Well I wanted to see if you wanted to hunt with me since your brother is clearly doing his own thing." She said and Kate was taken aback. "Sure." Kate said in a monotone voice not lowering her guard at this stranger of a friend....The woods were filled with life as she and Ami stalked through the undergrowth, two rabbits were just up ahead, both her and Ami crouched on instinct, they looked at each other for a moment before silently agreeing on moving forward.They stalked onward till they were foot away

    "So why stay? You also mentioned that you came here for me, why?" Kate asked, she was blunt and although she did feel bad for what Ami had been through, she still felt as though Ami wasn't telling her something. "I don't want to stay forever but I figured I'd come and visit an old friend and I must confess something to you but now isn't the right time. Why don't you meet me here tomorrow night?" Ami said, unfazed by Kate's bluntness. "Fine, I'll meet you here tomorrow. Anyways, why did you leave all those years ago?" Kate asked, finally able to ask the question that has haunted her for years.Ami was surprised by the question and hung her head low, as though guilty of something. "It was because of you." Was all Ami said before turning tail and running, leaving Kate with more questions than answers. "Well that was odd." Kate said to herself....Kate left soon after Ami took off, deciding to take a route that took her along the wolves and hers shared boundary. "Well if it isn't the Vixe

    I let the room of the clinic, Anna and Nemora following close behind me. I listened to the door click and almost felt disappointed for leaving the little fox and pup alone. I watched as Anna whispered to her mate, causing Nemora to blush harshly and run-off. I looked at Anna curiously and she smiled at me calmly. "Nathan I would like to talk to you about our guest and about the two wolves who decided they wanted to play a game of Cat and Mouse with him." Anna said blatantly and I nodded leading the way to my office. I understood her anger, I felt it too but my anger ran on a much deeper level. It was something personal and I hadn't a clue as to why the situation was problematic for me. Of course, the two did something horribly wrong but I'd usually let my beta take care of their punishm

    I awaken from my sleep a while ago and I was enjoying the quiet breaths of the pup beside me. It was calming and something deep within me stirred. I knew all too well what that something was and I couldn't agree more with it. It the feeling of wanting, the feeling of wanting a family, of wanting not to be alone anymore, and in truth, I wanted somebody that I could lean on and tell them all the things that I had been through. What my family did to me but most of all I wanted a family with that person. I couldn't lie to myself that I was jealous of the person I had seen in that reflection. I was jealous of the happiness that person had the family they had as well and I knew all too well that I was jealous of myself or rather that version of me. My fox grunted in agreement and I knew that

    Glass laid shattered on the wooden floor and the arrow that had a note tied to it was still embedded into the wall behind me. The note that contained the warning or rather a pledge to kill my whole pack laid open on my desk as I examined the piece of parchment, trying to figure out who this cocky bastard truly was. Count Faeth Courline, the bastard who wrote the letter, the one who was threatening the things and people I loved.Although the name was useful it also wasn't. The title Count was someone of a high-ranking class. Humans had stopped using the term long ago but creatures such as the Fae, Elf, and Vampiric species still used it. Other species that used the title weren't too picky or cocky about flaunting the title but the person seemed to flaunt it as though it was a prized jeweled. Fae were peaceful creatures and wouldn't hurt anyone, let alone they would leave behind a magical trace and a fragrant scent that couldn't be covered up. The Vampiric species loved using t

    As the thought of a family and my determination to have one filled my mind, Anna was just finishing up checking on my side. The pup had sat next to me, watching as Anna prodded my side and apply some healing ointment along with changing the bandages. After she had applied the ointment and the bandages the pain that was once in my side was now diminishing. I was happy about that because the pain was bothersome and let alone it meant that my wound was finally beginning to heal. It also helped that I was now being fed regularly and my healing abilities as a shifter were once again returning. I was smiling at that fact and although it was small it was, to me, a step in the right direction. In the direction towards the possibility of having a family of my own.I was drawn out of my thoughts by Anna speaking to me. "Okay, so your wound is healing pretty well. Now I know this might bother you but once your wound is completely healed I would like to see you in human form. I'd l

    I let out a sigh as I sat on the terrace that was located just outside my bedroom. Yesterday was full of unexpected events. I was given a death threat, my mother told me the truth about my father's death and the murder that she committed, and I had figured out through a very long grapevine that the pup who I had taken from the care center the day before was beginning to form a bond with the fox. I had also heard that Anna had scolded her mate on the subject of not judging other shifter species. A surprising argument to arise between the two but I barely paid mind to that rumor since it was none of my business to know the arguments that happened between mates. I had been told that the two who had hurt the fox, who was most likely my mate, had been punished. Stevan was pushing their training and reprimanding them for anything they did wrong while Anna had decided to give them a little harsher punishment, which was acceptable for what they did. She gave them the job of killing prisoner

    Hello Dear Readers, First off I'd like to say sorry about last month, I did not stay true to my promise. My reasoning is because I was focusing on finishing off high school, had to deal with graduation and family matters, and most of all I was unmotivated and I have been. Yes, I know it sounds like an excuse but I'd rather write Blinded when I'm motivated rather than write crappy chapters that I don't enjoy writing. So for the month of June, I'm going to take a break from writing, find some sort of motivation, and overall figure out what direction I want Blinded to go. So for right now, it is a goodbye unit next month. Sorry for the delay. -L.N.F

    Once Anna left and my initial embarrassment died down, my mate and I left his room and made our way towards an area within the large house that was unknown to me. My mate sensed my unease and ran his hand down my back in a soothing manner. I eased but only for a moment as two scents, similar to my mates, filled my senses as we continued to approach the area. I became alert as soon as we approached the two scents, who were quietly arguing with one another but each word they said to one another, I heard. "Why did you come back Zaeith?" one of them asked, her voice old with age. "Because I needed help, mother. I didn't mean to..." the person known as Zaeith said but paused and although I couldn't see, I knew she was looking at my mate and I. "Brother." Zaieth said, her voice stern yet thoughtful. "Zaeith, how is your pack adjusting to their situation within the pack?" my mate asked his sister. His question confused me but my confusion was forgotten by Zaieth's answer, "Not as well as I

    I was dreaming. A dream that was a memory of a life that was blurry yet familiar. I was shifted, my fur white with a bit of kit fluff indicating that I was younger than that of a teenage fox shifter, and I was running through a forest, sunlight filtering through the many leaves of the elder oaks then all at once everything slowed as fox let out a loud warning yelp before the glint of silver caught my eye and I slid to a stop but the mud was to slick and soon enough the silver line of a hunter's trap hit my face, digging into my eyes forever blinding me as I fell into the darkness and awoke with a loud yelp. I shakily reached my fingers up to my face and felt the cold touch as I felt the faint scar left by the hunter's trap. I let out a sigh and whimpered in fright as I hugged my knees to my chest and felt warm tears fall from my eyes. I was too caught up in my moment of shock to hear the door open but was drawn out of it as my mate entered the room and approached me. Without

    The meeting room where Stevan had gathered the all too familiar pack was filled to max capacity. "Hello, brother." The voice of their alpha spoke out, her voice tired and the expression she wore matched that of her pack, wary and riddled with guilt. "Hello, sister. What do I owe the pleasure of your visit?" I asked my voice plain and emotionless towards my twin. "I would like to speak with you in private to discuss why my pack and I are here." she said, her voice authoritative yet soft. I wanted to glare at her for her tone of voice but I held back and took a second glance at her pack. Warriors were on alert but were tired while the rest of her people looked tired and worn-out. "Fine but I should warn you that any insult about my pack will lead to consequences." I told her in a stern voice, watching as she nodded and got up to follow me stopping to motion a beta she-wolf to not follow and to keep watch over her pack. I did the same motion towards Stevan and the warriors from my pack

    I walked out of the room, note in hand, and spotted Anna just coming around the corner with a cup of coffee in one hand and a clipboard in the other. I waited next to the door and as she approached and noticed me, her face that was once stern and seemingly uncaring grew worried as she asked, "Nathan what's wrong?" When I didn't answer immediately she immediately assumed the worse and asked, "Did... did he reject you?" I looked at her with widened eyes at that and shook my head no before answering her previous question, "Anna I don't think he can see." I said my voice but a mere whisper. When she gave me a questioning look, I handed her the note that she read slowly before giving me a look of sass. "Nathan, even I could have told you he was blind. Even in fox form, it was obvious, hell even my wife and the two dimwitted kids knew he was blind. I have no clue but I swear the goddess that if you even think about rejecting him because of that. I will castrate you." she said her voice fu

    Everything went black as the golden dust disappeared and suddenly I was thrust back into the reality of my life, back into the blackness that only I could see. As the darkness wrapped around my eyes, I slowly lifted my eyelids and felt my more notable senses return, as I heard the beeping of what I could only guess as a heart monitor. It was an odd sensation as I moved my fingers, feeling the smooth hairless skin that was once fur and feeling the aches that ran up and down my arms as I curled and uncurled my fingers. It was an odd feeling of not being able to hear every sound that was going on around me and an even odder one when I felt the vibrations of something moving on my chest. It was fluffy and soft, reminding me of a tiny pillow filled with memory foam or feathers and as I slowly raised my head to touch it, something slightly wet touched my skin causing goosebumps to rise on my furless arms.As the object of fluff touched my hands, I jumped out of my skin as a hard ob

    For the past hour, Anna and I had been talking. We had been talking about what I should feed the pups and how to keep them separate if they begin to fight with one another. We had also discussed the situation with the fox and what I should be giving him when he and the pups come to stay with me for the next week or so. Our discussion about him was cut short by the loud whining of what I assumed was the pup. Spinning around in my chair I looked at the bed and noticed that the pup was pawing at the foxes nose, whining for him to open his eyes. I looked at Anna with curiosity and she shrugged her shoulders before getting up from her chair and going over to the pup. The pup was still whining and began to squirm when Anna picked her up and walked towards me with her.She handed me the squirming pup before sitting back down in her chair. I looked at the whining pup and asked, "What's wrong little one?" the pup stopped whining to look at me and then to look over at the sleepin

    I raised my paw and swatted at the pup who let go of my tail before attacking it once more and giving me a playful growl. I smiled inwardly at the pup and faked defeat, allowing the pup to openly nip and growl at my tail. I laid on my side and set my head down on top of my paws. I flicked my ears towards the ongoing conversation between Anna and my mate. "Are you absolutely sure that you'll be able to handle two pups and an injured fox shifter?" she asked with a sigh and I could only guess that my mate was nodding before saying, "Yes, I'm absolutely sure but it would be nice if he would at least shift before you left so that way you could check his eyes." he said his voice a bit disappointed and sad. Their conversation went on about the subject of me shifting before I closed out their voices and closed my eyelids, retreating to a part of my mind that I had not visited in a while.It was pitch black but in a single beam of light the form of a white fox laid down. It was

    The fox was asleep, its tail curled over the pup that was nuzzled into its stomach. My wolf was preening with pride as we saw our mate curling up and being gentle with the pup. Holding the plate of food I went over to my mate but stopped when Anna revealed herself from behind a white curtain. "I would like it if you wouldn't disturb my patient." she whispered to me. "Fine but you have to admit that he is cute and adorable with the pup." I whispered back and she gave me a small smile and nodded. "Anyways I brought food for them," I pointed to the sleeping pair "and I wanted to see how the fox was doing." I finished and watched as Anna nodded and motion for me to follow her behind the curtain. "You can set the plate of food on the counter and you might as well take a seat since our guest and the pup won't be waking up for a while." she told me and I nodded.Setting the plate of food on a nearby counter, I sat down on a black stool and watched as Anna typed away at her com
