Chapter 0408 Nina "I was talking about running in our wolf forms, silly," Enzo said, ruffling my hair.
My face turned a slightly deeper shade of red.
"Oh," I replied, smiling a bit. "Sure. That would be fun." Enzo had just been angry withand we had had a bit of an argument. But now, after he disappeared for a little while, he seemed to be in better spirits. I wasn't sure exactly why he suddenly seemed to be feeling better, but it madehappy to see it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWe walked over to the treeline at the back of the athletic field, where there was an entrance to a hiking trail between the trees. There, once we stepped into the dim forest and the sound of the wind blowing across the athletic field becdampened by the thick pine trees, Enzo shifted in front of me.
I couldn't help but smile up at him. I always loved seeing him in his wolf form. Before I shifted, I walked up to him and ran my fingers through his fur. He pressed his head up againstas a low, happy growl rumbled quietly in his throat. Finally, I stepped back and shifted myself.
Shifting this twas much faster and easier than the first time. When I had first shifted, I had felt as though my body was tearing in two; but now, it was over in the blink of an eye. I simply closed my eyes and gave my wolf full control, and then I was in my wolf form when I opened my eyes again.
And, now that we were both in our wolf forms, we were able to talk freely. No one else would have been able to hear us since we were speaking telepathically, but to us it felt just like normal conversation.
"Follow me," Enzo said. He leaped off into the woods. I followed closely behind, feeling the sensation of the wind blowing through my fur. We ran through the forest and wove ourselves between the trees, picking up speed as we went. Running like this felt so natural now, even more natural than running on two legs. I loved the feeling of freedom coursing through my body when I raced through the forest, leaping over small ravines, fallen trees, and large moss-covered boulders as though it was in my blood to be so agile. And it was in my blood, I supposed, although it was strange to think of it like that. I had spent my entire life up until recently thinking that I was human, but it turned out that I couldn't have been more wrong.
We cto a stop by a large ravine that dipped down into a small stream. The water below was frozen now, leaving little icicles where the tiny waterfalls used to cascade over the rocks in the warmer weather. As we stood there, I looked up at the sky and squinted against the grayness. It had begun to snow.
I always preferred the colder weather, although up until recently I most preferred the spring and autumn, when it was chilly but not too cold. But now that my wolf had emerged, and especially when I was in my wolf form, I loved the frigid cold more than ever. I hardly felt it through my thick fur, and wouldn't have minded if it was a little colder.
Suddenly, we both heard the sound of a twig snapping across the ravine. We looked at each other, but it wasn't out of panic; it was excitement, because we could smell what the intruder was, and it wasn't another werewolf. It was a deer.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Do you want to hunt?" Enzo asked. Even in his wolf state, he looked as though he was smiling.
I nodded excitedly. Without another word, we both leaped over the ravine in pursuit of the deer, who was now alerted to our presence. We crashed through the underbrush as we followed its scent. Up ahead, I could see its fluffy white tail as it ran from us. We chased it around the trees and plants, gaining speed, until we were within reaching distance of it.
But I wasn't planning on killing it, and neither was Enzo.
Just before the deer ran out into an empty road, Enzo and I veered off and left it alone. We turned back and ckand ran in the direction that we cthe direction from, and now, he was chasing me. I felt his teeth snap at my tail and I yelped excitedly, picking up speed as I tried to evade him. But Enzo was fast, and before long, he had tackled me. We
