All Chapters of Unwanted Wolf: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I left Celly Bug in the kitchen. She needed time to think. Although it was Saturday, I planned to go to my office. I needed to do some more work in figuring out these incursions to our packlands. So far, it was only a few humans, but they had gotten farther than they should. We had caught nearly a dozen humans. All had similar stories, just hikers looking for an adventure. But they were all a little off somehow. One told us he had been hiking for months and didn't know where he was. Another said he had bought a map but lost his backpack when a giant wolf chased him. The map was in his backpack. I had sent two young pack members into Grayson with some information. I wanted them to find the map seller. The last human was caught at the lake, probably only because he saw Celly and decided to swim with her. Thank Goddess she had not been harmed. He gave us the map he had purchased, 'Hike the Unhikeable Map 1'. It was a detailed map with five routes that ran through packlands. The guy had

I rang the bell at Celly's house. I couldn't stop smiling. Eckley was laughing in my head, 'You look like the cat that ate the canary with that stupid grin on your face.' He chuckled. 'Sorry Eck, I'm excited to be going on a date with Celly. I can't help but smile.' I rang the bell again. I didn't hear any movement in the house. Was Celly ignoring me? Had she decided not to go and didn't even want to tell me? I knocked on the door. I was a little early, it was 11:20, but still I was afraid she might not open the door. I walked around to the side door. I knocked. No answer. I called, "Celly, please open the door." I walked to the back door. I knocked. I could smell the faint hint of her scent here in the back yard. I put the basket down. I walked around the backyard sniffing, trying to find her scent. It was hours old. She must have been outside earlier today, after I left. I returned to the back door and knocked again. I went to the side door and tried the handle, it opened. I walk

"Celia, does Moonless Night know about the trail maps?" Jerk asked."What?" I asked, confused. "What maps?""She doesn't know anything." Twit said. "We don't need to ask anymore." "Did you call Stan? We can still sell her." Jerk asked. "Stan said he isn't coming all this way for one female that doesn't even have a wolf." Twit answered. He looked at me, "The boys can have their fun with her."Jerk laughed, "Yeah, I bet she'll be a lot of fun. I want to go first."I felt tears on my cheek. I did not want to know what kind of fun they were thinking about.Another rogue ran into the room. "We've got trouble. Moonless Night Warriors are on the main road. The pack must have noticed she's missing." Jerk and Twit looked at each other. "It hasn't even been a day. Usually it takes a couple of days before a pack mounts a search." Twit said. Jerk grabbed me by my hair and pulled me up. I screamed loudly. "Why would they start looking for you so fast?" He growled, his reeking breath was hot on

My head was throbbing. The pain means I'm alive, I told myself. I tried to move. I couldn't. I opened my eyes, it was dark. I was cold. I felt wind, I was definitely outside. I looked around. I was bound at my wrists and ankles again. I listened but didn't hear anything. 'Are you there?' I asked my wolf. 'Are you alive?' She asked back sarcastically. Yes, I'm alive for now at least. I need to get out of these ropes, I need to figure out where I am. 'Want to help me get free?' I asked. 'I can't Celly.' I wiggled my wrists, this was going to hurt. I wiggled my wrists back and forth, loosening the rope a little. The rope and friction were cutting into my wrists, there was blood. But I needed to get free. I wiggled back and forth, hissing at the sting and burn of the rope cutting my skin. The rope loosened a little more. I stopped wiggling, I tried to get all the slack near one wrist, it was almost enough. I wiggled a little more, moving my wrists back and forth, back and forth. The sl

I had the weirdest dream. At least I thought it was a dream. Carson was carrying me. He was holding me close to his chest. I was trying to tell him to put me down, but he ignored my request. He kept whispering to me, but I couldn't make out what he was saying. Then Carson was gone, I was cold. I was poked and prodded. My mouth was dry. I didn't know what was happening. My whole body hurt. I felt like I was no longer in my body. I heard beeping and people speaking around me. They were cataloging injuries. I stopped listening. I wasn't feeling pain any more, I didn't feel anything.I tried to talk to my wolf. She didn't answer. I wasn't sure if she was ignoring me or if she was also just floating like me. I didn't have a concept of day or time. I was just floating. Occasionally, I'd feel something in my body, a pain from my head, a pull on my skin, the pinch of a needle. Then I started feeling more. I could move my fingers and toes. I could hear people talking. I heard my Mom reading
