lake.
    I finally find my rhythm
as I walk on all four paws. I quicken my steps and then full out
run and head to the little docking platform. I lean over the side
and look into the water.
    The first thing
I see are my eyes. Long gone are my blue y-green ones, in their place are the silver flame like
ones that I have when my magic needs to be freed.
    My coat is pitch black and
shiny.
    My father and
Jax have black coats, but
theirs are not nearly as dark as mine. I’ve never seen anything as
black as the colour of my fur.

    I hear rustling
and immediately a few people walk out of the bushes on my
rig ht near the forest. All
eyes are on me. Amongst the group are Talon, Tyler, their
girlfriends and my parents.
    “Shift! ” Johnny growls
out.
    “They think
you’re a rogue ,” Faith
says.
    “Who are you and why are
you on my land? Where is my daughter?” Johnny growls out again. I
look at the rest of the crowd, they all look uneasy, as if they’re
about to jump me at any second.
    “Speak to
them, tell them who you are ,”
Faith says, sounding nervous.
    “And how am I
supposed to do that? Bark? I haven’t exactly had time to figure out
how this whole wolf thing works Faith.” I saunter cautiously down the wooden dock toward the
shore.
    “Yes right,
s orry . Okay just look at your father and think
about what you want to say to him. Focus.”
    “Do you not hear me
rogue? Speak!” Johnny roars, making me step back afraid.
    I watch as Alex
looks at me, her eyebrows
furrowing.
    “Johnny
wait! ” She whispers, but I
still hear her clearly from where I’m standing. She steps forward
and picks up my torn clothes lying on the ground.
    Johnny looks at
the shredded material then
back at me, his stance relaxing somewhat.
    “Angel?”
H e asks, using a caring and
less domineering tone.
    I watch Tyler and Talon
gasp. Tyler tries to take a step forward, but Talon grabs his arm
quickly.
    The bond that
is between us is making it
hard for me to focus on anyone other than the two of them. I can
almost feel their beating hearts in my own chest, feel every breath
they take as if it’s my own and I can even hear their
thoughts.
    “She’s beautiful…” Tyler thinks
sounding out of breath.
    “Amazing….” Talon thinks.
    Then I look to
the girls on either side of
them and the spell breaks.
    I growl
and force my eyes to look at
my parents.

    Turning fully towards them, I focus all my
attention on Johnny then Alex.
    “Mom? ” I say in my
head, hoping it works.
    Alex and Johnny both take
off running in my direction across the sand.
    They come to a
skidding halt at my side, Alex
immediately stroking my back. “You did it. All on your own sweetie.
I’m so proud of you.” She smiles lovingly at me as she wipes a tear
away.
    Johnny bends down and pulls me
against him nuzzling my neck and scratching my head.
    That
feels really good.
Hmmm….
    “You’re perfect baby girl.
Perfect.”

    “Boys? Aren’t
you going to congratulate our girl?” Johnny lifts his head to the twins. I turn to see them
standing a couple metres away staring at each other.
    They both turn to head in my
direction.
    “No Dad, it’s cool. Leave
them. They’re busy.” Talon and Tyler immediately stop, looking at
me with shock and what seems to look something close to hurt. They
have no reason to feel hurt, especially after how they both treated
me this evening.
    Guess I was
projecting my thoughts to them also.
    “Nope, that
was me projecting your thoughts to those bloody fools,” Faith tsks.
    Johnny looks
down at me confused as if he’s
trying to understand whats going on between the twins and I. I know
he’ll be asking questions later when we’re alone; I just hope he
can wait till then.

    “Race you back
to the house?” I say ,
immediately bolting past the twins and into the woods. I hear
Johnny chuckling behind me. I may not be as big as my father but It
seems that I am super-fast in my wolf form.
    The
w ind in my coat is
exhilarating. My body
