Wolves of a different Pelt by Aurora Kryan (interesting books to read txt) 📖

was large enough for both of us.

“Indura.” He whispered.

“Humm?”

I asked loving how comfortable his arms were but really I was thinking,

shh sleep time.

His smell was like a drug making me sleepy and all fuzzy feeling. I felt his lips press against my hair then he mumbled something in it I couldn’t understand.

I think he understood I didn’t hear him because he shifted so I had to pull my head out of his chest. I made a cranky moan and reached out for his chest again like a child wanting something. He denied me access to his loveliness and I opened my eyes to give him a droopy glare. He chuckled at me brushing his thumb over my cheek.

“I said I love you.”

“Mmmm I love you too.” I told him.

I sounded almost drunk or high making him smile wider and reveal flawless teeth. I ran my fingers thought his hair and met him halfway for a kiss. I don’t know how long it lasted but I broke it off and dove into his chest again. His warm gentle arms held me to him as I fell back asleep. That night for the first time instead of having nightmares about Royal wolves or car accidents killing my first foster family I dreamed about Spirit

Return

When I woke up the next time sun was streaming down into my face and Spirit was gone. I sat up stretching and then fell back on my back to yawn and look at the dust partials in the sunlight dance around. I figured Spirit was out doing something and it was a new day so I got out of bed and grabbed my pack hiking up the stairs to the second bed.

I pulled out my wolf outfit that my mother gave to me when I was three for when I was a teenager. I hung up my bed sheet to create a curtain then took one last look down the landing to make sure the coast was clear.

I hope he doesn’t walk in on me changing

, I felt a fierce blush creep over my face,

head out of the gutter Indura!

I pulled the fur leg warmers over my feet and into place then hooked the white fur skirt on over the shorts.

I looked down at myself a small snow white fur top cover just enough of my chest to hide my boobs then looking down farther at the pelt skirt that was more like a front and back cloth. Under it I had a pair of white shorts and then finally I had fur leg warmer and fingerless gloves. I used the white ribbon to tie back my brown hair after I brushed it.

“Indura you still here?” Spirit called out panicked.

“Yeah I am, what you think I ran away from you the first chance I got?”

“Maybe.” He called back up.

I laughed,

no faith what so ever.

“I’m your girlfriend I would never leave!”

I swung down from the landing onto the ground floor. Spirits eyes bugged out when he saw my outfit. I twirled to give him a better view.

“Like what you see?”

“No.”

I frowned at him he shook his head then snaked his arm around my waist to pull me closer.

“I love what I see.”

He kissed down my cheek to the corner of my lips then pulled away. I was wired from the string of kisses. I gave him a puzzled look because I knew he wanted to kiss my lips as much as I wanted him to.

Flirt

.

“Let’s go back to your mom.”

“NO!” I shot back instantly.

I pulled out of his embrace spinning to face away.

He’s nuts! It’s been two days that’s too soon they probably haven’t even left!

I balled my fists at the memory of my first foster parents. I was only six so I didn’t know a whole lot but I wanted to show them my “stories” were facts. When I changed in the car to show them out of frustration they wrecked and got killed.

I survived because I was a werewolf.

It was my fault they got killed, my fault my mom got killed, I won’t let another parent die.

Spirit touched my shoulder but when I didn’t respond he wrapped his arms around my waist again and rested his head on top of mine. I leaned my head back on his shoulder to look at his eyes. I could see he knew that it caused me pain and I could see flickers of determination behind the sadness.

“I’ll protect your mother and you. I swear I won’t fail you this time my love.” He said as his voice broke some.

I blinked at him unable to respond.

That’s a first he never called me his love before. I like it.

I turned in his arms to face him this time. I played whit his red sleeveless shirt debating what to do (and just to touch him). Finally I looked into his smoldering hazel eyes brushing back his red hair that fell in front of them. I nodded a yes to him that earned me a smile.

“Let’s go back then. So I can properly introduce myself as your boyfriend.”

“Is that why you wanted to go back?”

“It’s part of it but I know you miss her. You said so in your sleep last night.”

I looked horrified.

Crap I talk in my sleep! Oh dear god please let me not have embarrassed myself.

“You sound like Edward Cullen right now.” I blurted out.

“Then you know I’m gona say you said you loved me.”
“But you already knew that.”

“It’s nice to hear you say it.”

“I love you.” I said as I kissed him.

After the quick make out session (Woho!) I took down my blanket and threw it back in my backpack to leave. We retraced our way back through the walkway, down my bridge, and out the maze to the barbed fence. It was just past dusk when we reached the town I took it as a good sign since my outfit wasn’t exactly city worthy.

“Come forth and let my true self be known, let the blood of my ancestors run free once again.” I said out loud unleashing my soul.

To my surprise Spirit said the same incantation like sentence and turned into the giant white wolf I first met two days ago. We raced back to the town where my little forest encased house was. When we reached my house I instantly knew something was wrong. The scent of that woman was there.

I felt panicked and burst into the house dropping my backpack after I slipped the knife into my leg warmer. Inhaling I searched for my mother’s scent but didn’t find it so I burst back outside where Spirit stood with a gun to his head.

Kina

I let a furious growl escape my chest when I looked at Prof. D’s friend holding the gun to Spirit’s head. My heart was in my throat and all I heard was my pulse quickening to the point I thought I would die. Professor Dennis stepped out from behind a tree tugging a rope that was wrapped around my mother. I balled my claws into a fist drawing blood to distract myself from killing her. She flipped her blonde hair over a shoulder and laughed.

“Looks like your coming with us or someone’s dying.”

“Fine.” I spat at her.

I’m going to kill you, you, you, urg if only there was a word.

I forced my soul back from my body and to my center till I almost put it out. Normally I would have but I wanted the extra strength just in case. My small white black flecked wolf soul swayed like it was trying to stay lighten in a wind storm. I took a step forward toward the professor hating it because to took me one step away from Spirit every time. I stopped about five foot away from her glaring.

“Let my mother and Spirit go.”

“So you learned his name huh. Fine, Keith let the boy go!”

She shoved my mom forward past me and I heard her bump into Spirit who had started to rush toward me. I watched as Professor Dennis pulled out a gun from behind her aimed and let it ring out right past me. I knew where she aimed before I looked and I felt the tear tread down my face as he cried out in pain.

NO! NO! NO! NO!

I couldn’t look back even as mom screamed out his name. I couldn’t look as I heard him struggle with the pain. All I could do was watch the Professor and yell ad her.

“What are you!”

“Your aunt Kina.” She said dryly.

“What? You’re my aunt?! No you’re an asshole!”

I charged at her hands out to choke her and she fired again catching my shoulder. The impact from such close range jerked me back to the ground. I screamed out,

this is the second time she’s fucking shot me in a week!

The way I landed forced me to look at Spirit’s limp body in my mother’s lap.

The End

My chest constricted painfully and I felt my heart physically breaking when I seen his still chest. My wolf soul I had held back pulsed and burned pitch black as it swallowed the white whole. My body had its own pulse separate from my heart as it pounded harder and harder the more I watched Spirit die. I ground my teeth as it became painful and my vision went black as I stared out ahead.

I felt my blood pool around my head on the ground. Even thou I was blind I could see Spirit in my mother’s lap as his arm twitched and she called out to him to stay with her to stay with me. My chest crushed in on its self when I saw him die.

My own body became lifeless as my soul pulled out of it and into the sky. My white black flecked soul glowed taking on my naked form. I was pulled into a ball eyes closed floating there in the darkness. Slowly I opened my eyes to a faint blue glow that tugged at my very being,

Spirit’s soul is so small,

I noted.

I straightened out floating over to it; it was no bigger than half my palm. A black tear leaked from my face and landed on his soul. It sucked it in like it was dehydrated. As I held it in my hands I remembered why I was here, I had remembered I had powers from Sheiesh. My real mother told me that so long ago.

“When you truly care for him he will awake in you your true self my dear.”

I released Spirit’s soul letting it fade into the darkness till it was just a
