The Blue-eyed Wolf In The Woods novel Chapter 23

I was rewarded with a loud bark from him. I chuckled. I thought he must just be in the mood to respond to me, but didn't believe he actally knew what I was saying.

"Hmm okay... how about give me a howl if you acctually understand me." I said cockily, knowing this plan would probably fail.

His eyes bore into mine for a moment, like he was really contemplating his next move, and then; he lifted his muzzle to the sky and let out his deep howl.

I sat on my attic roof in disbelief. My heart started racing and I couldn't think straight. I started breathing heavier.

He looked back at me from his spot on the woods floor as if asking me to keep the questions flowing.

But all of a sudden my mind was blank. I was out of questions. I couldn't think what to ask a wolf who apperently understands what I'm saying.

He barked playfully as if egging me on.

"Okay, okay I'm thinking... Bark if your a boy wolf, and growl if your a girl wolf." He barked.

Well I was almost positive I already knew that answer, and it could have been another lucky response.

So boy. Okay.

"Growl if I'm wrong, bark if I'm right. Are you 17?" Growl. "Okay, 18?" Growl. "Hmm 16?" He replied with a really scary and deep growl, one that I've only heard when he has been protecting me.

Like at the club. That time my car broke down. When I got sick at that party last year. When the other wolves were circling me, tonight when he saved me from Dom's antics.

I guessed that growl meant I was getting further from his age, so I guessed higher. "Okay, so not 16. Are you 19?" Growl. "Dàmn, okay. 20? Are you a 20 year old wolf!?"

He barked loud and playfully as he jumped up and down and spun around in a circle.

"Okay so, 20 years old."

He barked again and sat down.

Wow, okay, so I have a 20 year old boy wolf who has been following me since I was 8? WTH?

So I was 8, he was 10.

And we've had this connection, of watching each other for ten years.

I can't be actually thinking this wolf is understanding me. And answering me!? My wolf.

I shook my head in confusion. All this time he was cogntivley aware of the things I was saying around him, or to him?

I just still was't sure how I felt about that, or if I believed it.

"Okay, 0 year old boy wolf," I began. This was rewarded with a playful yelp from him. I smiled.

"So, how did you know I was in troube tonight? Did you follow me?" I asked? "Wait. Bark for yes, growl for no. Bark if you understand."

Bark.

"Ha. Okay, so did you follow me tonight?"

Bark.

Ahh okay. "What about that night after the club, you were there to take me home. Did you follow me after our fight?"

Bark.

Wait... "So, you follow me a lot. You know, it's kind of creepy. But you're a wolf so I guess it's okay, are you like, protecting me?"

Bark.

So, I see this wolf follows me a lot. I'd be kinda creepy if he were like a guy. HA. No. Wait.... What if.... NO. Can't be. Somthing in me clicked.

"I must sound fùcking crazy, if someone was listening to me talk to a wolf right now, I'd be institutionalized." I lauged out loud.

"Yup. I'm crazy. So, CRAZYYY question Mr. Boy wolf, are you actually a 0 year old human stuck in a wolf's body!?"
