All Chapters of The Red Wolf: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Sam POV Through the crowd of people finishing their breakfast, I just catch a glimpse of Erin and Leroy heading out with sombre expressions. Giving Regina a sideways look to see her business face on, meaning our working day has started a little earlier than expected, although, as the leaders of this pack, we are always on duty, I suppose. With a stretch, I get up from the table and collect our mugs to place on the trolly of dirties going around the hall and head to my office with Kay and Regina in tow.Once in my office and behind closed doors, I ask, pulling my chair out behind my desk and dropping down into it, "come on then, what is it?" Like the next generation, we are all extremely close. It's what happens when you've grown up together and lived so close to each other our whole lives. We know each other as well as we know ourselves if not better. "Update from the station, Maria is out on bail," she tells us, taking a seat in front of my desk as Kay sits

Chilli POV Lowering my chest to the ground, sniffing the moist grass and damp leaves, feeling them under my paws as I kneed at the ground. My tail sways in the breeze which carries the chill of the lake nearby, and my pointy ears twitch with every russel, every twig snapping. In the far distance, a bee searches the wildflowers for nectar, as I watch, I am lost in the beautiful movement of its delicate wings, forgetting for a brief moment what I am doing. Regaining my concentration, I welcome my wolf instincts to aid me in finding my prize. The world around me falls silent and still, as I slow my breathing and heart rate to become at one with my surroundings. Ignoring the rippling of the lake's surface as a fish comes up for air, ignoring the flapping of wings in the trees above, ignoring all other scents and just focusing on finding the one, a sound, a ... there! I push off, launching myself forward into a canter and after a large, dark blur to the right of me. In his has

Sam POV "See," Logan smiles, " I was right, everything is fine.""No Logan," I growl at him, "you were wrong! I told you Maria wouldn't listen to you! Of course she wouldn't, if she thought there was even the smallest chance of getting you back, that it would help her get you back, she'd do it.""So she called a few times and sent some texts, okay, yes, she didn't listen but everyone is okay," he shrugs it off like it's not a big deal."Not the point Logan," I snap. "Do you even care?" "Of course I do!" Raising his voice slightly at me, finally showing some other emotion apart from bloody humour."Well then show it!" I stop myself from truly losing my temper as I start to calm myself, "you want back in? To stay with this pack? Continue to be my beta?" The colour drains from his face, I'm guessing he never thought he'd hear these words aimed at him coming from me, I don't think he realised how far he has push it, how much he'd fucked up until right this

"Yes, but the others feared them and what they could do, it was the time of the witch hunts and sadly some were mistaken for being witches. Even some werewolf packs were hesitant of them, whereas others praised and worshipped them. It was a messy, complicated time. The depictions of their wolf forms are incredible in size and colours, of golds, reds etc. my point is if I'm right then you have more strength and power than any of us." We sit in silence, digesting father's words, his crazy words when he pulls out a book, earmarked at a certain page to reveal a hand-sketched picture, surrounded by foreign text."Chilli," I gasp, "it's your wolf form, your colouring of red, golden flecks, it looks so much like your wolf." Chilli stares on, speechless."After that day when I saw your power in person and up close, it got me thinking and reminded me of the old stories my grandfather would tell me about when I was a kid. He'd tell me stories about these fantastic creatures and

"Chilli, It's okay," Sam tries to reassure me, "you really are doing great. Okay, so from what you just said, you focused in on Elias and your bond. Which makes sense and is great, now let's use that.""How?" I question. "How does that make sense?" Elias buts in and Sam pulls a face again as if we are idiots."Think about it you two, when you finally saw each other as mates, Chilli, you had been through and overcome some serious shit. So your bond was like salvation after the storm." "Hu, never thought about it that way before," I ponder aloud, is that what started to unlock this added power he is on about? Did my love, need and want for him and to save his life help this power bloom? "From the reports of that night, you somehow basically healed Elias. If it wasn't for you Chilli, I'd be a childless father, and that's something no parent wants. Thanks to you, my son lives, because of your power and your rare heritage. And I am so thankful and overjoyed to have and call you my daugh
