Novel & Cerita Animal Speak

If I didn't know any better, I'd say my wolf was quite content with accepting Silas as our new mate. Although many novels — obviously written by humans who didn't know much about our kind — portrayed our wolves to be like another personality in your head, fully capable of speech and feelings, it just wasn't true. Our wolves couldn't speak in the sense of having full on conversations with us but there were key words it did use; mate, kill, attack, danger, etc being amongst the few.

I hear a gasp and look up to see Douglas’s dad staring at us dumbfounded, “you can hear the foetus?” Douglas nods enthusiastically, “yeah! He’s begging for bacon.” Everyone in the room- now filled with my mum, Mrs Knight-Gray, Douglas, his dad, Derrick's dad and Derrick start chuckling at the news. “Sounds like his daddy,” Derrick grins, “give in the damn bacon before he finds a way out to get it himself!” My tears halt and amazement fills its place, “our baby is talking to us? How? Through our minds?” “Exactly that,” Douglas grins, “it’s called mind-linking. We- as wolves, can talk through a form of telepathy. I guess this little guy has it down to a tee already.”

I nodded. "I will explain the rules to you now and afterward you will have a chance to ask questions. However, after that, whenever you are Bella, you cannot speak. Dogs do not speak. They bark, they whimper, they growl, they even yelp sometimes. But they do not speak." He looked at me to ensure I was paying attention. Then he continued:

That lead to me being able to communicate with him more easily. But the change wasn’t drastic so that didn’t mean that Orlaith could suddenly talk or anything as crazy as that. Orlaith could think in ways that we could recognize as words. That wasn’t something that was common in animals. They mostly just thought different from Fae and humans too. It was very amusing to me when Phoenix said he thought we could speak the 'animal' language once. I laughed because of his naïve thought that animals had some sort of language. Language wasn’t something that they had. It wasn’t the only way to communicate.

"Why aren’t you speaking? Are you the same human?" Akshara was soaked in shock to hear the animal talk to her, "Yes, but a ferocious animal can talk?" The animal replied, "I am not a ferocious animal. I am named El Detza. I won’t eat you, I can recognise you." "El Detza?" Akshara jolted, "Why? But I don’t want to live?" El Detza, the animal, told her, "I was ordered to take care of you, not kill you."

The gentle voice talked again, “I’m giving you my spirit animal to be your companion.” And she was too shocked to process that she could understand the axolotl when it said, “Hello!” “What the heck!” “You’re the only person who can understand me, princess.” The small voice of the axolotl said, and it smirked. “Oh, my goddess! I must be out my mind.” Malaika rubbed her eyes with her hand to ensure she was not hallucinating. Every shifter could not talk when they were in their animal form! The axolotl jumped to her shoulder that made her wince.

Let's see how any of you passes. “You're the … the white…” "Yes, I am," I cut off Ciara's stuttering. "And like I said previously, turn back." My voice was thick and frightening. What shocked me more was that they could hear it. My mouth was moving, words spoken aloud. Wolves never spoke verbally, only through mindlink. And yet here I was, speaking. I might be the only wolf who could. Their shock was almost greater than mine. “Ava?" Axton whispered softly, disbelief burning in his eyes.

I nodded my head agreeing with him and entered the car. "What took you so long?" Kiaria asked. "It didn't look like you two were talking. You guys were just standing, looking around." I turned on the ignition of the car, backed out of the parking lot and drove into traffic. "To answer your question, Marcus and I were mind-linking. Wolves of the same pack can speak with each other through their minds because they are linked by one, the Alpha," I explained. "Kind of like telepathy?" Kiaria asked, surprised.

“Sorry! Not you—I was talking to Titi.” Fenrik’s frown deepened. “Wait… what do you mean? You can talk to your wolf? And she talks back?” “Yes.” Agatha nodded, hesitant but honest. “She speaks. All the time. Sometimes too much.” Fenrik stared at her, stunned. He shook his head slowly, as if trying to process. “No wolf… no wolf has ever talked to anyone in the pack. We only feel them. Their emotions, their instincts. Never words.” His voice dropped lower, his eyes widening as the truth settled into him. “Those who talk to their wolves are…”

Zander sat up in his chair, brows furrowed as he looked at her in confusion. " Voice?" "Yeah." She answered, suddenly unsure. He looked surprised and bothered by what she just told him. "Rose, beasts don't come with voices. They communicate with strong emotions and every once in a while take over to use our voice to speak. But they don't have one of their own." "W-What?" She asked. Now she was the surprised one. If beasts didn't have voices then why did mine have one? Great. I'm a freak among freaks.
