• The Red Tailed Fox   Chapter 60 Another ritual to protect her

  "Gabby had another dream, about the red forest and the burning moon," Steve explained."What!" Stooper was surprised to hear that.Steve sighed deeply. “It’s worse than we thought buddy. Gabby really is the chosen one from the prophecy. She is the moon child.”Stooper’s eyes widened. “Are you serious about this ?”Steve nodded slowly. “Yes, and the danger is already close. If we don’t act fast, we could lose her.”Stooper leaned forward. “What do we need to do?”Steve looked around the room to make sure no one was listening, then whispered, “I need to do the old protection ritual for her.”Stooper’s eyes grew wide. “The old protection ritual? But Steve, that takes time. Two full days.”“I know buddy, ” Steve said firmly. “But it is the only way to keep her safe before I take her back to the elder.”Stooper thought for a moment, then nodded. “Alright, but we will need the others to help. You can’t do it alone.”“I already planned for that and that's why I came here right after leavin

• The Red Tailed Fox   Chapter 59 I will do anything to protect her

  Steve took a deep breath to calm himself down then walked through the gate. He followed the path until he reached a small clearing and in the middle of it was an old wooden house. Smoke rose from its chimney, and the air around the place smelled of burning herbs.He walked up to the house and knocked gently on the door.“Come in,” a deep voice answered from inside.Steve gently pushed the door open and stepped in. The room was dim, lit by candles placed everywhere. There were old books, strange stones, and wooden carvings on every shelf. Elder Leon, the oldest and wisest of their kind was seated beside the fireplace. His hair was long and white, and his face was full of deep lines."Elder Leon," Steve bowed his head in respect and he greeted him.“Steve, I have been waiting for you," the elder said calmly.Steve walked closer and sat down across from him. “I rushed over as soon as I could."The elder nodded. “Now, tell me everything. I can't believe that we finally found the moon chi

• The Red Tailed Fox   Chapter 58 She was the moon child

  Steve sat down in the chair beside the table and kept reading. The book spoke about how those who dreamed of the burning moon were not just any werewolves. They were linked to a powerful bloodline, one that was nearly wiped out in a war hundreds of years ago.'The Chosen ones will feel the bond before the truth. They will be pulled to their mate. They will fight with the heart before the mind understands."He closed the book slowly, which explained everything. Gabby wasn’t just any wolf, she was one of the Chosen. That dream she had was just the beginning. The red forest was calling her and the burning moon was a sign that her true powers had started to wake up.Steve rubbed his face with both hands. He felt tired but also full of worry. Gabby had already started changing. She was strong, yes, but she didn’t know the whole truth.He stood up and walked over to a locked drawer under the shelves. He pulled out another small key from the chain around his neck and opened it. Inside were

• The Red Tailed Fox   Chapter 57 Another scary dream

  That day, they stayed at the company and concentrated on their work but Gabby's mind kept thinking about the information she heard that morning. It was still overwhelming to her and still, she could fully believe that she was what Steve and Stooper said.Finally, the day came to an end and they went home. They had dinner with Mr Hawkins then she went to bed early.That night, Gabby tossed and turned in her sleep, her body covered in sweat despite the cold air weather. Her heart beat fast as if she was running, even though she was lying still. Her breathing was heavy, and her fingers gripped the sheets tightly.She was dreaming again, the same dream that she had that day. It all began the same way. She found herself standing alone in a very big and strange forest. The trees around her were tall and red, not like the brown or green trees she knew. Their trunks were dark, almost black, and their leaves looked like flames. The air around her smelled like something burning, the scent was

  “There are ways,” Stooper said, sitting forward. “You can train your mind to fight the pull. It’s not easy, but it works.”“Tell me how to do it,” Gabby said quickly.Stooper looked at Steve, who nodded.“First, you need to recognize when the bond is pulling you. You will feel warmth, maybe a fast heartbeat, or like your chest is full of emotions you can’t explain.”Gabby nodded. “Yes, that is exactly how it feels.”Stooper nodded then continued.“When that happens, breathe deeply. Remind yourself who you are and what you want. Say it out loud if you must. That helps to ground you.”“Like saying, ‘This isn’t real. I don’t want him. I’m not his,’” Gabby repeated, trying to understand.“Exactly,” Stooper smiled. “You take control. Your voice and thoughts are powerful. The bond can confuse your body, but your mind and heart can push it away.”Gabby turned to Steve. “Will it work for me?”Steve nodded. “Yes. You’re strong, Gabby. You’ve already done more than most people would and we will

• The Red Tailed Fox   Chapter 55 What about Simon?

  There she went, the question that Steve had avoided as plaque. He knew that she would finally ask about him and why she felt that way toward him the day they met at the cafe.Steve slowly lifted his head and looked up at Stooper. He wanted him to explain everything to her.Steve froze for a second but he quickly relaxed and looked into her eyes. He had been waiting for this question. He knew it would come, and now, there was no turning back.Gabby’s voice was trembling now. “Why do I feel like that when I see him? Why does my body feel like it knows him even though my mind doesn’t?”Stooper sighed deeply. “ Gabby, you feel that way because you are connected to him,” he said. “You two are mates.”Gabby blinked. “Mates? What do you mean?”Steve held her hands gently. “In our world, I mean the world of wolves, when two people are born for each other, the moon chooses them as mates. It’s not like human love. It’s something deeper than that. It connects your soul, your heart, your mind and
