“Come on gal show me what you’ve got”. Alanna shoved my shoulder.
She had dragged me to the training ground and we had been here since 6am. It was cold, wet and just started to rain again.
“We could be inside drinking coffee and keeping warm right now”. I huffed.
“It’s just a little rain”. She grinned. “Now come on let’s try and bring her out”.
“What’s the point”. I sighed.
“The point is we need to get her to come out and you’re the only one that can do it”.
“How?”.
“That’s what we’re trying to figure out”. She shoved my shoulder again. “Come on”. And again with the shoving.
“Stop that”.
“Why?”. She nipped at my forearms. “Is it annoying?”. Again she nipped.
“Alanna”. I yelled. It wasn’t as much annoying as it was sore.
“What?”. She shoved. “Can’t little Leah handle it?”.
I knew what she was doing and I didn’t like it. They were all desperate for my wolf to come out but forcing her wasn’t the answer.
“You think you’ll be enough for him if you can’t shift?”. She laughed.
I could feel the anger building inside. That was a low blow.
“Poor little Leah. What Luna on this earth can’t shift?”.
I didn’t want for my first shift to be brought out by anger. “Don’t do this”. I begged. I could feel the burning on my skin, the itching heat spreading all over my body.
“Maybe he would be better off with someone else”.
Okay that one hit a nerve. Hands balling into fists I could feel my top lip pulling back into a snarl.
“Someone like-…”.
“Don’t even say it”. I barked through gritted teeth. I could feel the power radiating through my body. The tightness of my skin, the pain building.
Hearing a crack I fell to my knees. “Alanna”. I cried out.
“Someone like Jessica or maybe even Sarah. I mean she’s human but she’s still tougher than you”.
“Leah”. She yelled.
I don’t know what came over me but I took off. Sprinting through the forest, ducking and diving past trees. I was becoming one with the feral animal inside me.
Her voice was nothing but an echo in the back ground.
I felt free, liberated and let me tell you nothing had ever felt better. The soft ground under my paws, the wind rustling through my fur.
I realised now that I had nothing to worry about. My wolf was apart of me, she was me and if anything she wasn’t the one I needed to be afraid of.
..
I don’t know how long my little adventure lasted but when I returned to the training ground Alanna wasn’t there.
But he was.
I could smell him, his scent hitting me like a train. My ears perked up, my head turning to the side, my eyes focused on the double doors in front of me.
I was surprised he didn’t come looking for me.
As the doors opened my stance changed, I was on guard preparing myself for anything coming my way.
