My True Mate

As I watch Lucas and Sarah run off on their mysterious date, I can’t help but smile. It’s so nice to see our pack leaders getting along again. It feels like we’re growing, we’re powerful. We’re being led into the future and I can’t wait.


I think of my little one at home with Dustin. My mate is so good with out daughter. I know they’re having the time of their lives together.


Of course, I always want to be with them. And I promise myself that I’ll return home soon. But first, I need some time to enjoy the moonlight.


I run, the wind curling through my thick, chestnut fur. I feel alive. I feel like I can escape the troubled past that haunts me.


I remind myself I’m safe here. I’m safe within this pack. I’m safe with Dustin. And I love my life. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted.


As I come across a stream, I stop. I see the image of myself reflected upon the water. I see a powerful wolf. I see a strong warrior.
