helpers. I help them achieve their goals. When I see their faces light up, when they have conquered a task that has been giving them lots of trouble, it confirms why I do what I do. Most of the kids grow up to live a normal, happy life, but there are a few that will always live with their parents. Some can never overcome daily challenges. Their disability is too severe and weighs heavily on their hearts. For these kids, we try to make things as easy as we can for them. We help them overcome the basics and slowly work on the more challenging things. 
    I will never tire of my job. I love waking up each day and going to work. I love the kids I work with so much. I can never let them down; they need me. I also volunteer in the local soup kitchen once a week.  There are so many people that need help everywhere. But here, these people who come to the kitchen, are looking for a hot meal. They are homeless and sleep at the local shelter. The shelter is not able to provide a hot meal every day. So once a week, the soup kitchen does. On holidays, the soup kitchen takes over and provides a holiday meal for the homeless. 
    I could not imagine my life being any different than it is now. Except, I do get tired of going home to be alone each night. I have had several one night stands, but they mean nothing to me and never will. I long for my other half—more since I moved to the bayou. The longing just gets worse every day. Will I ever find my other half? God, I sure as hell hope so. I do not want to be alone anymore. I am tired of being alone. I am the last living in the Boudreaux line. I need to carry on my line. Please God. Let me find him.

Chapter Three
    Deuce
     
    “Deuce, are you decent in there, bro?” asks Pierre.
    “Yeah, man; come on in.”
    “Deuce, I think we may have a new problem to look into. The locals are saying that they have seen the rougarou lately roaming around the woods at night. They say it is in the form of a white wolf this time.”
    “Well, merde ! I guess we will have to keep a lookout to see if we spot the mysterious white wolf.  You know, legend says that the rougarou is around just to keep the Catholics in line, so I do not think that we will have a problem with it.”
    “The locals are also saying that this wolf has killed several criminals in the swamps the past few weeks.  You know the same criminals that we have tried to stop in the past from dumping bodies in the swamp.  Apparently, this wolf can track them better than we can, brother,” he says.
    “Well, then we need to find this wolf and become allies with it. After all, we serve the same purpose it seems. I think having this wolf in our corner will benefit us and the swamp.”
    “You know, Mama could see into the future, Deuce. She told me that one day a white wolf would come and that she would tame you.”
    “Hmm, very interesting. Unless this woman is my soul mate then I do not see how it will tame me. The only person who can tame the beast within me is my mate. We both know that. Each of us has a mate out there somewhere, that will one day help us keep the beast under control.”
    “Yeah, Mom was very smart. She told me that my mate would be a darker shifter, but would never go into any details with me about it. She said that when that day came, I would know immediately that the woman would be my mate,” he says in an almost dream like state.
    “She told me that my mate would be a sacred and legendary creature. She would never elaborate with me either. I think she did not want to give us too much information. So that when we meet our mates, we would not run and hide in the other direction. We have lived a very long time now. I, for one, am tired of being alone. Not that I do not love you and Sebastien and Alexandre, but I want something that is just for me. Something like what Joslyn has with Dean. She is so blissfully in love, and so happy. They both light up the room when they see each other. You can feel the love that they
