***MiaTwo days ago I sat on the cliff’s edge, overlooking the creek bed. It was our favorite hideaway, nestled between aged boulders, blanketed by foliage. The sound of a rippling brook ran below as I dangled my bare feet. My wolf and I preferred the quiet, away from the town gossip and bustling traffic. Lily was always with me... from as early as I could remember.See ordinary wolves didn’t appear until one’s 18th birthday, but not Lily. She was special... When I was just seven years old, my precarious self decided to slip away one winter night. My family followed my scent to a nearby frozen lake, only to find cracks above the surface, leading to a lone hole.The icy depths sat eerily silent below, no child in sight. Panicked, they crawled on the top layer of ice in search, praying to the Goddess to find me alive. But as the minutes passed by, despair began to set in.Just then, a beautiful white pup burst through the frozen cover. She shook the frigid water from her coat and fell i

***GodricAnother day of this shit. Finally, we had made it to the last town after two weeks of courting.

The battle took place years before. If the beast had been an inch higher, I would have lost my right eye. My dark obsidian eyes... The Goddess gave me these eyes to match my stoic face and furrowed brows. My hair was wild and unkept. I cared little wh

It did nothing to dull the ever present headache still lurching, but the scent of lavender and jasmine was enough to calm my hazy thoughts. I felt myself drifting in and out when someone lightly grabbed my arm. Immediately, my eyes fluttered open, jerking my arms inward. A warm face met my gaze, round and inviting. The old woman knelt beside the marble tub; her large bosom sat easily perched on the basin. She looked at me with cheery glow and said soothingly, “I won’t hurt you, darling. I’m only to clean you as instructed.”The tension in my shoulders eased slightly. A thin layer of filmy bubbles remained floating on the tub, giving me some minor privacy in this foreign place.Noticing the collar had been removed, I massaged my neck and could feel some slight bruising where the metal pushed against my collarbone.I looked back at the woman and shook my head. “Thank you but I can wash myself,” I said, reaching out t
