Alexander May sprinted into the night, through the vastly dense forest, he started to shift into his wolf form. The air was fresh and crisp with a strong wind ruffling his tan fur. He stopped to sniff the air, trying to gather any scent that may give him direction. He looked into the darkness with his sea blue eyes, trying to find any clues to the mystery.

Alexander May sniffed the snow, but there were no traces of who could have left Edith at his doorstep. He walked further into the forest, slowly, still sniffing the air. A gust of wind carried Edith's scent, along with a foul smell that made his stomach lurch. It was another wolf's scent, one that is unpure.

He stood still in the forest, trying to gather his thoughts. Alexander May finally decided to venture on and confront the beast. Although his human form said return home, his wolf form overpowered him to keep on going. The anger and fury inside of him led him further into the forest, following the scent.

After fifteen minutes of trampling through the snow, Alexander May reached the spot where the smell was overpowering. Both Edith's and a wolf. The smell of dried blood filled his nostrils.

He bent his neck, sniffing the ground, taking in nostrils full of scent. There was a trail for the wolf. There were two wolves. But no scent for Edith in the direction of home. Alexander May was baffled for a short moment.

He thought about his wife's vision. A wolf and an angel." Could it be possible that she was saved by an angel", Alexander thought curiously. But that wasn't the matter at hand, he didn't care at this moment who had saved her, he wanted to deal with the wolf that hurt her.

He followed the scent of the wolves, deeper into the forest. He knew at the end of the forest was the town which he had smelt the scent of Edith.

But Alexander was now walking in the opposite direction of home and the town. He had heard of rumors of a wolf kingdom but never did he go to explore. His job was to protect Edith, not explore new places.

At the end of the forest, Alexander stood wide-eyed at the huge castle that stood before him.

It was a few hundred feet away but the detail in the architecture could be seen, it was breathtaking. The ancient grey stone walls stood out in the snow.

Alexander instantly regretted not exploring this earlier. He would have known that it was dangerous for Edith. He shook his head in guilt. He could have taken her to some place safer,left this town to begin a new beginning.

Alexander crept along the wall of the castle looking for a way to get in. There was none. He could see guards posted all around and did not want to risk getting caught.

"Hey you", Alexander turned around to the voice. It was a guard. Alexander had already turned into his human form,taking out the mixture Mrs May had given him,he rubbed his cheeks,eliminating his wolf scent. He had to play a lost human to gather information on what he is up against.

The guards were also in their human forms but he could smell them.

They grabbed him by the collar and dragged him inside,throwing him at the feet of the prince.

Alexander cowered," Please sir, have mercy upon me, I am lost".

Alistair looked at him curled up like a ball on the floor as he roared,"get up".

Alexander rose up on his feet and his blue eyes met the prince's green eyes. They stared at each other for what felt like eternity.

" Forgive me if I have trespassed. I was trying to find my way into town, but the blizzard had become unbearable and I was just looking for shelter until the storm clears",Alexander said in his most pathetic voice. He knew he had to put up this pathetic act or the beast in front of him would not let him live to see another day. Alexander could feel the darkness radiating off Alistair.

Alistair looked directly at Alexander, inhaling deeply, he motioned to his guards. They understood him immediately and came with a bucket of ice water throwing it onto Alexander.

" Do you think im a fool? No human would make it in a blizzard", Alistair growled.

"So...... you are clever",Alexander chuckled.Alistair took a step forward and grabbed Alexander by the hair, titling his face towards him."Clever?", his question came out sarcastically as he grinned from ear to ear,pulling Alexanders hair harder.Alexander smiled in return showing his sharp teeth. He felt a sharp pain on his scalp as if the hair was being torn off. "What do we owe the pleasure to? A lone wolf venturing into my castle", Alistair said as he threw Alexander back onto the floor."You are no match for me! let alone all my guards".Alexander knew this was true. He now regretted even coming this close. He should have waited for the council. This wolf was not ordinary. He possessed many other powers."You have raped my daughter. You left her for dead",Alexander screamed out bitterly trying to free himself. As the words rolled off his

Her visions never lie. She had seen him before but could not join the dots. Curiousity was eating away at her last nerve.Connor picked up a cookie and dipped it in his tea," Make yourselves comfortable. It is going to be a long, adventurous night.

    " Get off me. Let me go", Edith screamed. The tears streamed down her pink plump cheeks. It was just after five o clock and the sun was setting rapidly on this cold winters day. The wind blew gently and the smell of snow lingered in the air. Edith stayed late at the school park with Connor, her best friend because she didn't want to go home to her misfit family. Although she loved her family dearly, they were indifferent towards her. Everyone was, always calling her a weirdo. Edith never understood why. Maybe it was because things that cannot be explained, happened when she was angry or upset. But it could always be a coincidence. She regretted staying late instantly when darkness crept in and the few streetlights that worked were dim, making it hard to see clearly. As she walked down the street, wondering in her own thoughts , a man called from the narrow alley at the end of the street. She could not see clearly but he called out for help. Edith ran towards the stranger without think

    The loud knocking on the door rang through the small cottage. " Honey get the door", Mr May, Edith's father yelled as he sat on the sofa with his legs up reading the newspaper and smoking his pipe," I wonder who it could be at this hour?" Mrs May wiped her hands on her blue and green apron and walked out of the kitchen. She walked hurriedly to the door and peeped through the little crack. She saw her husband's rain coat laying on the ground and opened the door with one big swing. She gasped at the sight that lay before her. She screamed in panic kneeling down, clutching Edith in her arms. "Oh, my poor baby", she cooed as the tears streamed down her small face.
