I came to a sudden stop and lifted my head up high to let out a raging howl. The sound was loud, echoing all around the forest as it pierced through the sky for the world to hear. No more silence. No more mercy. They would hear me loud and clear.
All those who belittled me, the wolves in the Pack House and walking on the streets who mocked me, all of them would hear and see the power I possessed, the force blessed by the Pink Moon, and the inherited powers and knowledge they would beg to have a taste of.
The thought left me gleefully howling before I pounced around in what looked to be a meadow of flowers. They were pink, the color so outstanding to my eyes that I couldn't help but be possessed by their intense delicacy. I ended up sitting for a moment on all fours, my eyes focused on the flowers before me as I sniffed a few times to take in the floral aroma.
The crack of a branch caught my attention, and I looked in that direction to meet a pair of pink eyes with hues of purple and gold. I remained still, assessing the wolf whose name I’d somewhat forgotten. The name was on the tip of my tongue, but not enough for me to pinpoint it.
He wasn't bothering me, which was fine, as I took in his black fur. He was slightly bigger in size, but I felt like my body wasn't just the average size of a typical wolf in the wild. I was slender in frame but taller in height, enough to carry the name of a wolf shifter rather than a common wolf in these parts.
Standing up, I stretched and wondered what to do next. That was when I caught onto a specific scent. It was weird at first, but then it began to grow stronger the more I concentrated on it. There was a hint of metallic compared to the overwhelming scent of Irish soap. It reminded me of the scent of someone who washed their hands a lot because they used their hands far too often, but then I moved past those initial scents and caught the true scent hidden beneath it all.
My whole body sat up like I'd been frightened by something, but I wasn't frightened in the slightest. I was thrilled. The scent was weak at first, but it felt like the aroma doubled - almost as though another with a similar scent joined the first.
The second scent's uniqueness revolved around rich colognes that weren't as bold as the wolf watching me. It was to a lesser degree like the aroma was only applied once in a while and reserved for someone important.
It didn't matter anymore because I knew who those scents belonged to, and my new duty was to find them.
MATES!
I was running before I registered it, my world a blur once more while I panted happily as I got closer and closer. It took me a second to realize a cliff was coming up. The jump to the other side was rather strenuous for a jump, but I wasn't slowing down.
Speed! Speed! MATES!
Something tried to call to me, but I bluntly ignored it because nothing was going to distract me from my goal. Absolutely nothing.
When I pushed off the ground, my eyes were focused on the prize - the other side. I glided through the air like I weighed nothing in this world, but when I began to fall, the will to reach the end only spiked further.
The controlling force in the driver’s seat howled lightly, and energy rushed to my four paws until I crashed upon a massive platform of white. When I pushed off of it, another platform appeared for my landing. This time around, its glowing surface was neon pink.
I pushed off, summoned a platform of glowing energy, and with one final push to reach the other side, I landed. That was when a large white wolf with black ends came out of the woods to greet me.
There was no delay as I somehow knew exactly which mate this was compared to the wolf whose name was on the tip of my tongue. This one was the one to ask to be found.
And I found him.
I ran straight to him, not a single strand of fear within me as I launched myself at him. The two of us crashed and rolled along the ground playfully - happy yelps and playful banter escaping our lips as we rolled and frolicked.
I ended up running around him in circles, to the point that he just sat back to watch my hyper self. I howled while running, so happy to be with my mate, only to notice another wolf literally come out of thin air that was cloaked in black shadows.
Pausing in my running spree, I immediately changed courses and tackled the poor wolf of black with silver highlights. He went down for the count. He was at least double my size and yet he went down almost on purpose as I happily licked his face and began running around him.
He was far calmer than my first mate as he admired my happy, hyper self and reached over to lick my face when I came to a stop. We pressed our foreheads together at that moment, and the way my heart swarmed with love from the gesture that meant so much to me could make me whimper in sadness.
I felt my other mate come from behind to comfort me, licking the side of my face as I pulled back to acknowledge both of them. With a nudge from their snouts, I backed up playfully and lay on all fours while my tail wagged swiftly.
There was far too much energy in me to just stay still for too long, and though it felt like they were trying to say something to me, I brushed it off and ran away.
"Woof!" my white wolf called out to me, but I was gone, searching for what I smelled was other wolves. It only took me a minute to enter a different clearing, and there were three wolves waiting near a set of rocks and a grand waterfall.
My arrival made their gazes turn my way, and I came to a stop to look at them. The silver wolf was immediately familiar to me, and that was the one I decided to tackle first. Clearly, he wasn't expecting it at all - my launch sending us flying off the rocky edge and into the waters.
The lake was calm, so it was easy to swim and get back to the rocky surface. The poor silver wolf was glaring at me while I shook off my drenched fur and abandoned him to run elsewhere.
I paused just to acknowledge the other two. The first one with blue eyes held a mixed coat of white and black, while the other next to him held an orange coat with gold. They admired me for what surely was five seconds before I was running away on another adventure.
I ran as long as my legs would carry me until a voice spoke in my mind.
"Willow."
