His eyes pulled me in, encasing me in their icy depths.
I could hear him audibly sigh. It sounded like a big rush of air leaving his lungs.
He closed his eyes when he did this.
I breathed in big gulp of the brisk winter air.
His eyes and presence did unexplainable things to me.
Now I closed mine and kept them closed. I couldn't bear to watch him any longer.
We always watched eachother every night. The whole night. Until dawn. Or until I drifted to sleep uncontrollably.
But tonight, I couldn't keep my eyes on him.
Tonight they confused me and made me question my entire being. Tonight they made me weary and uncofortable.
I woke to the sound of his mournful howl, right before dawn broke through the night sky.
I got up from my chair and looked at him one more time before I walked into my house.
His eyes held mine for a moment, making me go crazy with something dark and unspeakable, but something that has always been there, and always would.
I woke her up with my howl in the early morning. I held her gaze for a while before I turned to go back into the thick woods.
I spent my day as far from my pack as I could manage.
I was still completly pìssed at them.
How dare they defy me like that yesterday.
I should banish all of them for that.
If we didn't need the extra pack members and fighters as bad as we did I would have, or maybe I would have killed them.
They were young and dumb, but we needed them, to train them to fight, protect and obey. So I couldn't get rid of them...
Yet.
I roamed the woods, trying to find somehing to eat. I walked quietly to the small stream running through the forest knowing I'd find something there.
To my luck there was no other pack memebers wandering around nearby. I must have scared them off yesterday.
I found a little plump rabbit nibbling on some frozen branches low to the ground.
The perfect prey. And the perfect meal on this cold morning.
"Ugh. I'm still so mad. I hate him, he's so gross and absolutely degrading to all women. I mean serisouly? I'd first swing the other way before actually going for that peice of scum. Ew. He said that? He actually said he like me? I don't believe you Mia. Nah, no thanks..." She scoffed. "...Yeah I know you're both just looking out for me, and want me to be happy but still... If I want a guy, I'm very capable of geting him for myself."
She started laughing at what was being said on the other end.
"Okay. Yeah I'll see you guys later. But stop playing the part of Cupid. I'm good. Yeah, I love you guys too. Bye."
She was quiet now. I wondered what she was thinking about now.
Damñ these dàmned winters.
If I could only just knock on her door and tell her she's mine and hold her and never let go.
Then it'd all be okay.
But I was stuck as a wolf until it got warm, and maybe I could finally tell her how I felt.
I decided this was the year to tell her. she was finally 18, and it seemed like the right time.
Plus I couldn't wait ANY longer!!
I was pacing pack and forth and must have been making a considerable amount of noise due to my grumbling and growling while contemplating our future, because her window opened and she popped her head out.
She laughed lightly. "What are you doing Wolf? You're not acting too happy."
