These powerful men from various backgrounds of trauma and darkness were together and here in this grand forest to welcome me into this world I'd craved so desperately to be a part of.
This is my moment to obtain freedom. My chance to show Mother Moon that she made no mistake in giving me this second chance at life.
"Okay," I quietly stated.
He let go of me and gave an encouraging nod, stepping back to give me space. I took a few deep inhales, and closed my eyes.
I allowed the darkness to surround me while my breathing continued to be slow and steady until I stood in the middle of the darkness and could open my eyes within my subconscious.
Those large eyes of wisdom opened slowly, acknowledging my standing figure before my wolf walked out of the shadows so I could see her wonderful beauty. Mother Moon had surely blessed me with a wolf as phenomenal as her.
She was wolf of power, grace, and wisdom that continued to reflect in her eyes that danced with pink and gold. Those tinsel strands began to glow brilliantly while her pure white fur looked like snow in the rays of light that shone upon us.
She stepped forward until she was hovering way above me, and it amazed me how she looked so big here while I was but a small fragment of her world. For how long had she remained in this desolate darkness?
Days, months, years?
It made my heart ache just thinking about it as tears of joy sprouted in the ducts of my eyes.
"Thank you," I whispered to her. "For choosing me. For...sticking around. For enduring everything just to give me this sacred moment. For helping me find a pack that acknowledges our strength and worthiness. I'm sure it's been a lonely road of solitude, but no more. You are me, just like I am you. My body is yours."
Her large head lowered until she was lightly pressing her forehead against my body. I smiled and wrapped my arms around her and took the moment to appreciate her entirety.
The coursing energy around her, the softness of her fur, and the love she already carried for me, all wrapped around me in a comforting embrace, and that was when I felt the shift.
Let's be free.
The loud cracking of bones echoed around me, and though the pain made me want to scream, I fought against it as I only centered on the end result of this transformation.
One moment I was standing there in the darkness, and the next, I was on all fours with my eyes opening wide to take in the spectacular world that consumed me. Nothing had changed in my surroundings, and yet everything felt like it had morphed into another dimension of absolute perfection.
My vision was heightened to see the pure hues of every shade of color, from the intense variation of the dark leaves to the miraculous-looking sky that was decorated with twinkling stars, the grass of various shades of green, and the drenched soil of brown and black.
The colors reminded me of watching television in 4k HD, but that was merely one aspect of this new horizon.
My sense of smell had heightened profoundly, and to smell the rawness this forest carried was beyond exciting. The smell of the trees, hidden flowers, soil, and scents of various creatures that have come and passed through these lands was extraordinary.
I immediately caught onto Dimitris's cologne, the aroma entwined with his wolf scent that was coming from my right. As much as I wanted to acknowledge him, he became a figment of my worries as I took a step forward.
It was weird how my thought process connected with my brain. It felt like a part of me was in control, while the other was in the passenger seat and watching everything occur before me like a television screen was before my eyes.
All of it was overwhelming and trippy, and yet the exhilaration it delivered was indescribable.
To think that I'd lived upon this world that I could only vouch was darker than the villains in television shows and movies, and yet it looked like a fairytale in the eyes of a wolf. I had no idea that these lands could be this outstanding.
It all reminded me of my meeting with Mother Moon in the field of flowers. I'd get emotional if I thought about it too long, but the part of me in the driver's spot - my wolf - was tired of standing still. We had to move, to explore, to discover what we'd missed for all these years.
I took a few more steps, the sound of me panting only making me even more excited before I dashed forward and began to run. I was impressed at the stillness of the world around me, but the movement was absolutely phenomenal.
The speed of my legs, the thrill of running at a blurring pace, and the constant hits and shifts in the environment and aromas all around were beyond pleasant. It felt like I was on a rollercoaster that was racing through various stimulations all in one ride, and it merely made me want to do this forever as I picked up the pace.
My speed was fast, faster than I could mentally grasp, as the world was literally a blur of neon bright colors, but I didn't care.
I was free. I was alive. I was present.
The acknowledgment made me realize that soon, the world would see me. See my majestic wolf that was now free to claim her rights. No one could talk quietly anymore. No longer would I put my head down or wish to be invisible.
I'm right here! A wolf of power! A wolf of royalty! A Forbidden Fruit!
