CHAPTER THREE_THE PAST

He woke up to darkness; it was already dawn. There was no sight of the beast anywhere and no noise. The only sound that could be heard was the rushing of the water as it moved almost violently back and forth from the shore. He couldn't decide if the silence was scarier than the chaos he had witnessed here. He stood up, turned around, and there it was.

Crouched a few feet away from him was a large wolf, almost larger than him, an Alpha wolf. It was a female, that much he could smell. She had shining black fur, so black that she almost blended in with the night. The only thing that didn’t blend in were her eyes, a moon-shaped symbol in the center of her eyes and a streak that ran a straight line on her coat across her back from her head down to the tip of her tail. She had pitch-white, bottomless eyes. The symbol on her head was gold with a white outline, with the same color and outline on her back and her tail. The tip of her tail, however, was the same pitch black as her coat. She was unlike anything he had ever seen before; she was gorgeous.

She was whimpering while shaking feebly; she was in pain, he realized. The pain she was in seemed to be increasing by the moment. Not knowing what to do, he walked towards her cautiously with his eyes not wavering even a bit from her so as not to alarm her. On getting to her, he crouched and tried to carry her to see what was causing her pain. As soon as he touched her, he felt a sense of calm wash over his entire being as his body relaxed.

The same seemed to have happened to the wolf as she crawled into his lap, trying desperately to enter into the man that was bringing her relief. With her head on his lap, she sighed with her tongue out. He chuckled at this, and she lifted her head to watch him. He immediately stopped, not wanting to scare her away; she let out a dog-like scoff and returned her head back into his lap. He gingerly brought his hand up to run it through her fur. The moan of satisfaction she gave encouraged him to continue.

Five minutes later, he was full-on stroking her now while humming underneath his breath. It seemed to calm her more. Not long after that, she was full-on asleep. This continued till morning; he looked around to see it was already morning. He gingerly carried her head off his lap and stood up. He had not walked very far when he heard her growling unsatisfactorily. She trotted over to him, still growling under her breath, and came to a stop directly in front of him.

Seeing her in her full glory once again left him speechless. She was even more stunning in the light. Looking at her tail, he found it was even longer than a normal wolf’s. It was more like that of a lion with the only difference being the color.

He bent down to her height and let his hand run through the fur on her head. “I’ll be back tomorrow, little wolf.” She shook her body and growled indignantly at the little comment. He chuckled, and this time she gave him a doggy smile with her tongue out.

“Alright then, not so little, got it. But on a more serious note, I’ll be back tomorrow. Wait for me?” He questioned.

She just pulled him with her teeth to his trousers back to their original position. She nudged him into sitting back to his original sitting position. She then laid back with her head on his lap. She shifted around uncomfortably for a while before raising her head to pull his hand back to her fur. Nestling her head into his lap, she was soon out like a light. He soon followed suit.

When he woke up, she was no longer on his lap but rather curled up majestically, licking her fur by a corner. She stopped and raised her head up when she saw he was awake. He took that as a sign that he could leave now. He waved his hand at her and promised to be back tonight. She slightly nodded her head before going back to cleaning her fur by licking it. But that was enough for him; he left the palm-front fence with a smile. He had left before he realized the waters had calmed down.
