Azura woke up sweating and panting.  Her dream felt so real.  She couldn’t understand what the dreams meant.  She was startled by a knock at the door.  She threw on a robe and went to see who was there.  When she opened it, Regina stood in the hall smiling.  “I’m sorry if I woke you Azura,” she said seeing Azura’s hair a mess and still in pajamas.  “Oh not at all, Alpha Regina.  What can I do for you?” she asked, surprised by her visit.  “Azura, please, call me Regina and I wanted to ask if you would accompany o

The sunlight flooded Ty’s room and he woke, suffocating a pillow.  His arms had been wrapped so tight around it that it hurt as he pried them apart.  He looked on either side of him, but he lay alone in his king size bed.  His heart ached and his body felt weak.  He wondered if he had only dreamed of Azura sleeping beside him last night.  As he got out of bed, he noticed that his body was aching and he thought maybe he was coming down with a cold.  He washed up and went downstairs for some orange juice to boost his immune system.  When he entered the dining room, his mother sat alone, enjoying a boiled egg and he realized it must already be noon.

“You said it was…a silver-back wolf?” Regina said hesitantly.  Ty sat on a chair next to Azura, grasping her paw.  He looked at his mother, “Yes, a silver-back, he looked seasoned…I was almost too late Mom.  A minute later and he would’ve ripped her throat out,” Ty swallowed hard, the words almost hurting as he said them, “She put up a great fight.  He looked pretty banged up, missing an eye and gashes on his throat, but she was outnumbered, even in her wolf form.”  “And you didn’t know she was wolf?” Regina asked anxiously.  “I mean I guess I sensed it, but after I saw what she could do I figured she was something else,

Azura could see her mother’s face clearly and she was so beautiful.  Her hair and skin were just like hers, blonde and ivory.  She had big green eyes and was covered in light freckles.  She remembered the night they watched Nyx’s Shower from the rooftop.  Looking from her mother’s beautiful smile to her father’s laughing expressions.  He was ruggedly handsome, his beard long and bushy, his eyes were cerulean blue and his hair a deep black.  They kept laughing and pointing at the sky.  Then her mind brought her to the last time she saw her mother.  She was standing alone in the woods

“Enough!” Ty spoke and his voice shook the ground.  Azura immediately became submissive to him and walked to his side with her head down.  Kiara flipped right side up keeping her head to the ground.  Ty turned to his mother who quickly explained what happened.  Ty’s rage was building, “Kiara! You dare disobey your Alpha?” he took a step forward to the now whimpering she-wolf on the ground, when her parents threw themselves on top of her.  “We will deal with her Alpha Ty, I promise you we will,” they pleaded, but Ty was not convinced.  “Ty, I think it’s best to let them,” Regina spoke, pulling his arm a little, clearly worried for her friend’s sake.  Kia
