I almost couldn't see where I was going I was having that much fun. My paws slide though snow silently, my breaths leaving me in fast pants. Mikki's yaps happily, her tail high as she dashes though the snow. It was hard following her because she was white, invisible in the frosty world. Mikki turns sharply and I see the rabbit flying off to the left. We tear after it again, full of unused energy and excitement.
I duck under a tree branch before skidding around a tree. Mikki's ear flickers to me and back as we run, snow flying up behind us.The rabbit darts left again but then turns right, as if it couldn't make up its mind in which direction to go. I jump forward to grab the rabbit my paws sink into soft snow as the rabbit scurries away from me.As second later I hear a squeal and turn my head to see Mikki's paws on the rabbit. It was dusted a light grey, its face white as its eyes were wide as it squirmed under Mikki's paws. Mikki yaps and looks downI curl into a ball on the bed, sighing as I sank onto the comfortable matrass. I pull my blankets to my neck in one quick, covering myself in there embrace. I was nearly asleep when the door swings open silently and light floods into the room. Groaning I push my face into the pillow, annoyed with whoever had opened the door.I open my mouth to tell the person off but door clicks closed and darkness falls over the room again. Removing my head from the blankets I settle back down, ready for the darkness to take me but I startle as the bed bounces. "What the hell?!" I hiss towards whoever had sat down on the edge of my bed.The blankets lifted up causing cool air to assault my legs. I let out a hiss of annoyance as my stomach clenches and my skin prickles. I claw for the blankets as the bed sways and shifts under me. The blanket falls onto me again and a second later is accompanied by someone's arms. "What are you doing?" I snap, feeling Ash's breath on my face

"Get up!" Mikki shouts throwing open door. I jump slightly but otherwise don't move-but that might have been because Ah's arm was pinning me down. I was surprised to find him still dead to the world- boy can he sleep. "Oh...... my bad," Mikki grins and closes the door slowly.Carefully I roll over til I could catch a glimpse of the alarm o'clock which informed me it was nearly 12. "Ugh, two more hours...." I mutter rolling back over til I was nestled into Ash chest again. He makes a sound between a grunt and a moan before rolling onto his side and slinging his arm across my body. I groan as Ash squeezes my waist tightly and a second later releases me enough so I could breathe. "That wasn't nice," I huff softly but rest my forehead against his chest anyway."Wasn't it?" he says pushing my head back so I could see his playful, lazy grin. "Then I better improve my game. Maybe starting with....this" he pushes his lips onto mine gently, seizing me senseless. He ki
"I'm hungry" I complain as I walk into the kitchen. Mikki cocks her head and me, her eyes tied."Your one to talk" she sighs."What are you talking about?" I ask wondering over the toaster to put some bread in when Carson suddenly hits my hand."I'm making porridge. And you're going to eat it, sit down" she tisks like I was a naughty kid. I turn around and slump into the chair beside Mikki."I didn't eat last night" she replies as she folds her arms onto the table and rests her head on them."Why didn't you eat?" I ask. Casually casting a glance towards Ember, who sat at the dining table, made me feel sad. Ally was paying no attention to her, and Ally was the type of person to talk to everyone. Guilt coils inside me and I look away. I saw the reason everyone was avoiding her. I should have kept my stupid mouth shut."Are you listening?" Mikki waves a hand in my face, her voice brisk."Yeah, I am now."Mikki stares at
I fade into the forest, welcoming the shadows as they consoled me. Scents washed over me, first the animals that were close, trees and dirt then something different. I pause where I stood, one paw raised as I smell the air."Shana!" The shout startles me into nearly dropping to the ground. Recognizing the voice I follow it, winding my way through the trees slowly, and my heart in my ears and my breathing uneven. "Shana! Came here, girl!" called another voice.I spot my dad as I creep between the bushes. His hands cupped his mouth as he shouted out the family dog's name. A few feet away was Max, his hand identical to my fathers as he shouted out Shana's name. My dad whistles loudly, causing my ears to flatten at the high frequency.I hear Shana before I saw her. Her paws made soft thuds over the ground and a second later she squeezed out from a bush and greeted my dad by barrelling him over, her yaps of a greeting making him laugh. They feel into the sn
"Are feeling okay?" I ask Ember worriedly. She was leaning her shoulder against the wall and a faint look of queasiness had washed her face out. She turned her tanned face towards me, her eyes vulnerable."Fine" she says calmly as Sky pads down the hall. One he's out of ear shot she shakes her head. "I feel sick" she says softly and guides herself along the wall towards her bedroom door."Are you going to be sick...?" I ask sheepishly.Ember wags her head, a weak smile on her face. "No...I just...need to sleep"Glancing down the hallway I find we were the only one's upstairs. "Is it the....you know...." I suggest quietly, not really wanting to ask if it was from her being pregnant. People in this house had the hearing of wolves- literally. Some mornings I could hear Carson and Bray talking in bed and knew that if I tried hard enough I would know what they said, word for word.Ember shrugs and pushes open her bedroom door. "Might be" she s
I was still in Ash's room when I woke up, he was still beside me breathing softly as he slept. The room was dark and my cheeks were sticky from tears but I pulled myself of Ash carefully and padded over to the door. I glance back to make sure he was still sleeping before heading down stairs. It was just past midnight but that didn't stop me from wondering into the kitchen.The table was empty from all the plates which had disappeared-most likely to the dishwasher- and the chairs were all tucked under the table. There was no evidence from my outburst.I change my mind of the evidence thing when I walk over to the table. In the edge of the table was a pair of scratches from my claws. I run my finger over the grooves and look around for the shattered plate but don't find one.The chair creeks slightly as I sit down heavily. I was surprised to find everything clean and neat. I thought everyone would have left everything out for Carson to clean up in the mo
I don't know what I expected. Screams? But instead the screaming was growls, and the house became a riot of lights and sound. Lights burned through curtains, feet pounded on the floor as people moved to see what was happening.I stood, frozen in the cold air outside. Images flashed in front of my eyes, of half people half wolves barrelling down the stairs. The image wasn't to warn me, I know, but it didn't stop me from flinching like I was going to feel the impact as the wolf jumped over the stairs and onto the waiting wolves below.The world shifted back to normal just in time for me to see the front door bang on its hinges. I turn to Mikki, wanting to ask her what we should do by her hazel eyes were fixed on the house were wolf shadows danced over the walls and the sound of wolves fighting was emitted.Part of me wanted to join in, to fight with the pack, but the other half wanted flight, to flee from the conflict and destruction.Sadly, neith
"Bray" Sky says in a shaky voice. "I think you need to see this"I glance up from the floor, curious as to why Sky sounds so timorous. He was staring at the newspaper, anxiousness clear on his face. Mikki looks up too, cocking her head. I could smell curiosity radiate off her; it filled the air with a musky odour, one which made my nose wrinkle."What?" Bray asks taking the newspaper from Sky's hands. His eyes scan over that paper but his face stays blank. Bray lifts his head after a minute and looks at Mikki. "Go get the rest of the pack, hurry"Mikki bolts from the room, leaving me sitting in front of the scrabble board alone. I glance towards her letters, debating whether or not too look at them, I mean it's not like knowing her letters will help me, but it'd waste time while she rounded up the others. I reach for them, a cheeky smile on my face but I hear Vic chuckle. "Cheater" he comments but says nothing more.
Darkness falls over the mountain, shadows form over the snow and around trees, stretching towards us as we all lay huddled in the snow. We'd been wresting for over an hour -I'd decided that it looked too fun not to join so I'd shifted and tackled Christian when his back was turn. Despite the night settling in, I could see everyone easily, my wolf eyes sharp as a normal wolves would be. Wind blew against my side but I barely noticed with my think pelt keeping me warm. Ally and Tori lye in the pile, still toying with each other like puppy's too awake to sleep but too tied to run around. Christian lay on his back, pawing the air as if could catch the thousands of stars dotting the sky. Mikki rests next to Christian; her eyes closed but awake as she listened to the forest sigh and shiver in the wind. Ember lay a few meters away, watching the forest with restless eyes, she shifted every few minutes, unable to get comfortable. Ash's shoulder burns against mine, his skin searing as it tou
"Just do it" Ash says in voice that is a bit static-y and gruff. I glance at Ash, seeing his sly grin. "Just watch" He tells me and casts a glance toward Christian who was grumbling in the doorway. Christian was pouting and glaring at the floor like it had done something to offend him."This is humiliating" Christian complains and turns around. His face controls in surprise then disbelief. "You're recording this!" Christian then accuses."Yeah, I got to show everyone. Now hurry up," Ash laughs, the edge of impatient lacing his words.Christian glares at the camera then I see him step onto the table, his shoulder slump in defeat. "Is there anything else I can do? Please?" Christian begs glancing around at the curious faces looking at him from around the busy food court. Behind him a lady scowls at Christians back before stalking away."No way" The camera shakes slightly then zooms into Christian's hum
My muscles tense, and my claws dig into the ice. The smell of male wolf fills my nose as I watch the dark grey wolf in front of me slowly stalking. I snarl, my blood running hot and fast in my veins. The wolf lunges forward but I jump aside, my muscles working smoothly so that I was well out of the way by the time the wolf lands.Fast and agile, I turn on the wolf, pouncing onto his shoulder. He stumbles, ankles tripping in the cold snow. Christian's muscles tense under my paws and he turns to snap at me with sharp bark. I bite mockingly at his face before jumping away from him, my weight shifting on my legs like a dancer with ballet moves.Ice clings to my fur, tickling my skin as I move around Christian slowly, stalking him like he was prey. My ear flick towards the sound of something approaching but I don't remove my eyes from the grey wolf.Christian growls, hair raising alone his back and shoulders. His paws sank into the snow silently as we move around each other, his muscles bu
Suddenly the door swings open and light floods over us, exposing us to its harsh glare. We look up startled, Ash growling slightly at the person, still pinning me to the bed with a hand on my stomach. "I'm stealing your girl for 10 minutes, Ash. Irana, I need you" Ember says unfazed despite what was obviously about to happen. I wanted to tell her to go away -using less kind words though. Instead I remove Ash's hand (which he doesn't reject to ....much....) and slide off the bed. I swipe one of Ash's shirts from the floor, ignoring Ash dejected growls. In the hallway I pull the shirt over my head, hoping the shirt wasn't dirty. "Yeah?" I mutter, still irritated that we'd been distracted. "I don't know what I should do" she whispers, making her way to her bedroom. Once inside she looks at me, something haunting her expression. "I want to stay but....You don't know what happened to my sister, do you?" I shake my head, not wanting to talk in case I started yelling at her for annoying me

I pad in, looking at the snow which had come into the house from the wolves' paws. I look up startled as Ember starts shouting, back in her human form, naked on the ground as the wolves shift around her. Somehow it reminded me of when I was attacked, powerless against the wolves with blood on their muzzles.But the wolves weren't going to attack her. They shifted back, fur melting away to reveal skin and flesh. Within seconds bloody, naked bodies were moving towards the stairs silently."What the hell was that Bray! You didn't need to barge in!" Ember screams. She pushed off the floor, immune to her nakedness as she marched over to Bray with fire in her eyes."You're in my pack Ember! You'd do well to remember that" Bray snarls in her face, his face filled with hatred."So?! I'm not a kid! I can do what I like!"I startle as a hand rests on the small of my back, gently guiding me towards the stairs. I look back at Ash but he was too b
