The Wolf In Me

Jake's pov

I was walking quietly at the newly made cemetery, listening to the beautiful music of the forest around our now safe territory. It was so good to feel free and relaxed outside and not worry that you might end up dead. I looked at each memorial stone thinking of how many of us were lost in the process.

"Kent" I read. "I remember you," I said kneeling in front of his memorial stone.

We met when I was going around in search of the packs. He was the beta of the blood pearl pack.

"Gone, but never forgotten," I continued to read.

He helped me convince the alpha to join in. I sighed and stood up, "I'm so sorry," I mumbled.

Leaving the cemetery grounds I decided to take the opportunity to run into the woods in wolf form. I removed my clothes as my brown fur emerged from beneath my skin and Codiac was free to make his first run of the day. Now that the sun rose completely, he could see the beautiful light coming through the trees, hitting the soil.

"Run Codi, run," I told him clasping my top and shorts in his mouth.

We raced further in and reached the ocean. My wolf halted and sniffed the air, inhaling the freshness. The sand beneath us was still a bit cold from last night's wind and it felt good. Suddenly I could faintly breathe in a mesmerising fragrance. I looked around from afar. I could see a group of girls approaching.

"Mate," I mumbled, resting my eyes on a red-headed, tall and slim young lady.

I wasn't sure if she was a wolf or possibly human so I didn't want to approach her in wolf form. I hid and shifted into human form, then realised I was naked. I couldn't lose my opportunity to get to her so I hid my clothes somewhere safe and jumped into the ocean to hide my lower body and swam to her direction. As I got closer I could see her more clearly. She was smiling at the other girls and giggling. She didn't wear any makeup and now I could see that her hair was dyed as it looked like little mermaid's red colour tone. I think I must have been breathing way too loudly as she turned her attention on me. We both fixed our eyes on each other for a moment, feeling my heart beat fast in my chest. Her mouth formed a smile like she recognised who I was to her.

I watched her take off her light blue dress, exposing her matching bikini and jumped into the sea.

"Hey," she said, as she emerged from under the ocean.

"Oh, hey," I said noticing how close she was to me.

Her sweet scent sent shivers down my spine now that she was closer.

"My name is Melody," she said glowingly.

"Jake," I said shyly smiling back.
