Chapter 7: Change

Jame's face lit up when he saw me waiting for him. He came up and paused in front of me. I nudged the rabbit towards him and made a toothy grin on my face. He reached out and took the rabbit attaching it to his back pack. "You must be completely healed! Thank you for the gift", he reached a hand toward me slowly as he spoke. I didn't recoil in suspicion. I knew in my heart he wouldn't hurt me this time. If he had wanted to do anything bad he could have done so when I was injured. I leaned my head against his hand and went towards him. He crouched down and began petting behind my ears. His touch felt amazing and I wanted so much more. My wolf came closer to the surface and begged me to claim him. I pushed her back down.

I gave out a little moan and his face flushed. He sat down and I put my head on his lap. If this was the last time I was going to see James then I was going to enjoy it. He kept petting my fur and I could hear his heart rate increasing. Was he nervous? If so, why? What if I had the same effect of him as he did on me?

"I know you are trying to tell me goodbye". He sounded pained and my heart couldn't bear it. I looked up at his face and the pain showed clearly in his eyes. He wasn't trying to hide his emotions now and it shook my resolve. "Little wolf, come back with me, please". My brain told me to ignore him but my heart had other plans. Was I really going to go back with James and meet his brothers? What if they were the bad ones?
