The Wolf In Me

Jake's POV

Lately, I have noticed how stubborn the alpha was getting, especially after having his son abducted from within the packhouse. I know that he is the alpha king, and he must be the one to decide, but I felt like I was not being listened to as much as I should. Watching him leave from my sight angered me, releasing a low growl, shaking my throat.

"Let's keep going," I said to the pack that was waiting for me to cool down.

We all ran in wolf form, as we noticed the darkness of the forest and the loss of its relaxing scent, being replaced by the heavy fumes that burnt our throats. On our way, a few aminals have been taken down by the fires which meant that now we had less to eat for a while until the wildlife gets back to its original nature. One baby dear that I hardly noticed was badly injured, but still alive and without thinking I picked her up between my teeth and continued to run with it, nearing the packhouse.

"Jake!" Melody yelled as soon as I approached the dungeons.

Placing the dear gently on the ground, I turned into my human form to hug my wife, being relieved that she was ok and everyone else was fine too.

"Oh gosh look at this cutie. It's so sad she has been burnt this badly," Melody said, kneeling to pick the dear up.

Cradling it in her arms, she caressed her gently as she noticed that she also had some broken bones.

"I will take her to the doctors upstairs to see what we can do for her. Don't worry, you are in good hands," she continued, looking down at her.

I smiled as I watched her walk into the packhouse, already imagining Melody cradling our unborn child. I couldn't wait to know what the gender is, but Melody insisted that it should be a surprise.

Snapping myself out of my daydream I decided to pay a short visit to Dr Write whom I despised, yet, I knew he held the answer to what was happening in the forest. After wearing the trousers Melody passed to me I inhaled deeply as I opened the entrance to where the scientist was nf being kept. Reaching his cell as the last few of my steps echoed through the silence, I frowned at Dr Write quietly for a moment, allowing him to understand why I was there.

"Come closer Dr Write. I need to see your face better," I urged, already plotting what I felt I should do to him.

"I thought wolves had a better vision than humans," he replied, still in his original place.

Growling at him, I exposed my wolf nails and fangs, wrapping them around the metal that held us apart.

"You think I am playing jokes?" I growled as it echoed through the whole dungeon.
