I’m busy by the time I wake up. I have to take over watch from Cain because Clara is ill, and he had been running since midnight. After a quick breakfast of oatmeal, I shift into my wolf form when I’m in the safety of the trees. The moment my paws hit the ground, I take off in a run. It feels good to stretch my animal muscles even though it’s just the boring circle we make around the house when we keep watch.
The morning is my favorite time of day to run. I love watching the world wake up. Other animals peek out and see what kind of creature is making that much noise. When they see a big wolf, they pop straight back into their hole. Ever since my father fell ill, I usually don’t have to take a shift to keep watch because I’m training to be our future Alpha, but sometimes I miss running. I miss being on the lookout for our pack.
