I start with vitals; lung sounds, heart beat, eye check. Nothing out of the ordinary for a wolf. She seems underweight. "Could you go grab the portable scale for me?""Of course" Leo stalks off to the shed.Next up are teeth and claws. Teeth look normal, perfect even. Claws are a bit long, odd. Ears are fine. Next I run my hands along her legs to check for joint swelling, injury, or parasites; ticks, fleas, etc. Nothing. So far she's seems the picture of health, although a bit on the larger side.Leo comes back with the scale and helps me shimmy her onto it. 103.94 lbs. Not bad for an ordinary female, but she's large, she should be closer to 120-130lbs."She's definitely underweight, but otherwise healthy. She probably collapsed from hunger and exhaustion." Leo writes my assessment on my clipboard. You'd think he's a vet tech and not a carpenter. "We'll tag her, let her rest a few days, get her weight back up and let her back out."I go to stand back up and he's instantly got one hand under my elbow and the other on my back. I roll my eyes again. This is our fifth try at having a child. I'm 37 years old now so this one is even more high risk than the others, "geriatric" as my OB called it, eye roll. But I'm fine, as I keep telling Leo. He's just worried, understandable."Time for you to put your feet up." Tells me as he leads me back to the house. "I'll get started on dinner and then check on our guest.""What should we call her? I'll put it in the log book for the tag.""I'm sure it'll come to us."He leads me back inside our, not so little, farm house we inherited from my father. Most of the land was sectioned off and sold to the state for nature preservation as per his wishes. He always made it his mission to preserve this land and protect the creatures that lived on it. Very little of his land was actually used for farming.The outside is yellow, just as he kept it for my mother. The color of sunshine, her favorite. I've renovated the inside though. Modernized everything with greys, greens, white, and dark wood accents. The original hardwood has been repaired, stained, and sealed. Leo walks me to the large grey sectional in the open living area, his hands never leaving me. The way he pampers me you'd think I was close to delivering, but no. We haven't even reached the second trimester yet. He makes sure I have a million pillows and a blanket before he pulls one of the macrame ottomans over to prop my feet up.He pecks my lips before heading for the kitchen. He askes "What does Momma want for dinner?" I humm in response. "We've got frozen pizza, stuff to make spaghetti and meatballs, and…" I hear him opening the pantry and freezer as he looks through the food. "...Ice cream." He heaves a sigh. "I need to go shopping.""I am perfectly capable of going to the grocery store.""I know, and I would let you…""LET me?""Ok, wrong words.""Please, little preggzilla. Let me do things for you." How can I say no when he asks so nicely? Wait, what did he call me?"Preggzilla?" I keep my tone calm but cold as I glare at him from my nest in the couch. He just grins at me over his shoulder as her stands at the pantry."Ice cream it is."He comes back to the couch with a tub of ice cream, a bottles of wine, two glasses and spoons. We eat and chat while the TV plays some TNT marathon in the background before retreating to our bed for the night only to be awoken in the early morning hours by an earth shattering howl from the back yardRelated chapters

Hetty I'm sitting in the passenger seat if a lime green open back jeep holding a chocolate vanilla swirl ice cream cone, laughing as Eric sings in falsetto along with TSwift. He looks back at me grinning as he pulls the jeep into gear and pulls out of the parking lot."So how was school, kiddles?" he grins at me. My smile falls."Alright, I guess" he wrinkles his brow."Just alright? What's going on?""Just normal school stuff, ya know how it goes." He hums."Do I need to kick some adolescent butts? Let me know now before I'm a legal adult and can get in serious trouble for assaulting 13 year olds" always so protective."It's not that. It's the occupation preparation classes at school. Everyone's already got these big careers planned with their dream jobs. I find it hard to think about a career when all I want is to find my mate and have a few pups. Is that so pathetic?" He just laughs."Those are humans. All they want is money, you want more. You want love, a family, and community.

HettyI wake up to the sun in my face. I enjoy the peace. Not being poked, prodded, or tested. I can't remember the last time I was actually alone like this. Although,it feels extra lonely without Honour to talk to.Eventually Leo brings out a raw chicken breast and steamed carrots. Still better than plain oatmeal all day everyday. He doesn't really say anything and shortly after I hear the jeep's engine turn over. He must be headed to work, I wonder what he does. Dad was Beta so he didn't really have another 9 to 5 job, I can't really think of what jobs a human would have other than the ones I've seen on TV. Jess is obviously some sort of veterinarian, and with these large enclosures, chances are she's a wildlife vet.Not long after Leo is gone does Jess come out to check me again. She rubs a hand over our spine, our legs, and around our head and neck. Probably to check for parasites. I'd honestly be surprised if I didn't have a tick somewhere under all Honour's fur. Her hand stops o

LeoI didn't sleep. I stared at the ceiling while my mind raced. What kind of wolf is this? She is docile, yet intelligent. She can write her freaking name! She has a tag already. Is she some kind of hybrid? Not fully wolf, not fully dog? She is big. She could be a wolf crossed with one of those giant dog breeds. Who put that tag in her, and what roll have they played in her past? There's no droughts, plenty of prey, why is she so emaciated? That's the question that scares me the most. What kind of situation was she in and how did she get in it? Did someone cause this? Why?My alarm goes off and I get out of bed to get ready. My mind continues to race as I shower, get dressed, and start the Keurig. As I finish my coffee I move to the fridge to pull out some food for our guest, Hetty. My mind doesn't stop, it just keeps going in the same circle. Who? What? Why? How? I don't even remember taking the food out, or getting in my car to go to work.Work goes by normally until it comes to lu

JessSomeone obviously has had Hetty in their care. The quality of the tag and the encryption on it. She's been in someone's possession, but then why has she been starving? Why is she emaciated, why hasn't she been able to care for herself as she should? She seems scared that someone may be coming for her. I sit, stroking her fur while thinking about all of this until I hear a car pull up. It doesn't sound like Leo's jeep. I get up from my seat and Hetty whines. "It's alright sweetheart, it's probably just a friend or a patient." She continues to whine as I head towards the side yard to see who's here. "Can I help you?" I call out as I see a woman and two men walking from a black van to my front door. They all turn to me and the woman smiles."Hi! I'm Dr. Kaharu Carla Gainess. You can call me Carla." She smiles but there's fear in her eyes. I glance at the two men behind her. It's quite comical the juxtaposition between Dr. Gainess and the two men. She is a short, petite woman with

HonourI became aware again when I heard her voice."She told you her name?"Carla. She's found us. I caught glimpses of what was going on this time. Bits and pieces of conversation. I still couldn't talk to Hetty, but I could observe.I watch as the two men with Carla, they smell strange, come to drag me away. Jess, being the kind and decent human being she is, tried to get them off of me. I had to fight back to protect her.I feel the tingle start, of course, our shifting is all sorts of a mess. I get free and am able to separate Jess from the one holding her back. I feel the pain in my bones as they prepare to change.I manage to get Jess into the shed and block her in while Carla begs me to calm down saying they can fix this, whatever this is. As if I am some wild animal that will destroy anyone around me. Eye roll. I feel the shift take over and find myself standing in Hetty's form before a confused and embarrassed Carla."You fix this by undoing it Carla. I can't contact Hetty.

HonourEvonleigh sniffs before she starts talking again. "Honour, it's gotten bad. Krauft got really angry after you left. He took it out mostly on Eli. He's been asleep for a couple days now. Whatever they've been doing has made his healing slow down. Wilder hasn't been out, he's been so down, really not himself. He's usually so happy and light you know?" She rambles on as she tries to think of details about what's been happening. "Honour? Where's Hetty?""She's here. I just can't talk to her for some reason. If her experience is like mine has been lately then she is present, just blocked from me.""That's not good. Krauft is getting closer isn't he?" She sounds scared. Evie still has 3 years before she can start to connect with her wolf."Seems that way." If Krauft is able to suppress a wolf before they become present Evie may never get to meet hers. When our human halfs turn 13, us wolves become what we call present. We can access our human's memories and start to share their mind

HonourI hold the pill cup in the palm of our hand and stare at them for a moment. One is a light purple color, one is black, and the third is white with a shimmer to it. "What are they supposed to do?" I shoot a glance at Carla."I don't know what all they have, but I know the white has silver in it. One of them probably has wolfsbane." She shifts her weight between her feet as she holds the bottle of water out for me.I tip the cup back before grabbing the bottle and taking a swallow."I know this isn't easy, Honour. Hopefully we can find a solution for Hetty.""Don't pretend this is for her good." I hiss at her, careful to not move my tongue too much. I'm so sick of these people and their self righteous beliefs. Carla just averts her eyes as she takes a deep breath before turning to leave."I'll see you tonight for your next dose." She leaves.I wait a few more moments for the coast to be clear before I slide the pills out from under our tongue. I glance at the camera in the corne

EvieI cried myself to sleep for the umpteenth night in a row. I've been here longer than Hetty and Eli. I barely remember a time before being here. Sometimes I dream of my mother. Her soft green eyes, framed by her light brown curls. The same eyes I see in the mirror. Her voice, a melody, she calls to me. I don't even remember her name. If it wasn't for Carla insisting we be called by our given names, I probably wouldn't even remember my own.I wake in a curled heap by my door as I blink the crust from my eyes. There's a knock on the door, that's Beck, one of the lab hands. He's learned to knock before bringing my breakfast since I tend to sleep against it. I roll over and whisper for him that I'm clear. He cracks the door and pokes his head in before pushing the door all the way open."Morning Eve. Brought your 'blek'fast for you." He has a warm smile. He's the only one that calls me Eve instead of Evie or Evonleigh. I chuckle at his play on words and his smile widens. "We've got th
