God's Chosen Wolf

Our Baby Girl

That baby was you Lex.

When I pick you up and cradled you in my arms I immediately fell in love with you. As I turned to your grandmother,she had the note in her hand with her eyes full of tears. When I handed you to her,the crying stopped and she kept saying "You are no mistake. You are loved. We love you.". I looked at the note and start reading...

"This mistake is one I refuse to entertain with my time. You take it."

I crumpled up the paper and threw it in the trash. Then turned around giving your grandmother the greatest look of determination that I could give and walked over to her. I realized that the note didn't say anything about you having a name. I looked up at your grandmother my beautiful wife and partner in every decision...

"We need to give her a name." I say with a smile.

"I've thought of one already."

"Of course you have. And what name have you thought of my love?"

"Alexis."

"Lex for short."

I put you in my arms and raised you up to look in your eyes. And in that second when you opened your eyes I knew we had the perfect name.

"Hello my darling. I am your papa and this is your grandma..." I turn my head to look at the love of my life and smile,then turn back to you. "...you call her mama."

You gave me a little pot-belly giggle that made my heart melt. Me and mama vowed to forever to protect, love and raise you with the love of God and teach you the way of the wolf. You were and still are our precious baby girl.

And with that knowledge God gave me in that time our eyes met,I said with full confidence.

"You are Lex."

As those words left my lips your eyes change changed from brown to dark blue/violet. I was at a loss for words for what I just witnessed. 

"Nora, you need to look at this."

I walk over to her with you still in my arms and turned so she could see your face. Hoping she will see what I just saw.

"Look at Mama,Lex."

She looked at your face and rubbed your forehead and gave you a kiss saying in her amazing voice that still could make me forget my words.

"Hello my sweet Lexi."

You looked up at her with a toothless smile and with that smile your eyes changed again.

She smiled back at you and looked at me and gave me one of her all knowing looks. We both were thinking the exact same thing.

"Her wolf is awaken already my love."

I nodded in agreement. I have never heard of or seen a newborn with their wolf awakened. But I knew as soon as I picked you up out of that bundle of blankets and held you in my arms, I knew that you were special. So, as I thought about it,it made so much sense. So as we were play-fighting for our turn to hold you, we were also discussing how you were to be raised and trained. Since your wolf was already within you we would have to jumpstart your training. But we both knew in our hearts and hearts of our wolfs that we were blessed with you for a reason. And we would willing give our lives to protect you from any and all things...even Drea. 

We had recently heard from others that she had got into some bad dealings with witchs and taken a potion to stop her hangover pain so she could continue to party but it was a memory erasing potion. so she had no idea that werewolves exist or that she comes from wolves. 

The same witches that took Drea's memories are the same ones that killed Mama. They heard of you having your wolf early so they tried to take you when Mama took you swimming one day in the river when I was fixing up the house for your 3rd birthday party. I had just finished up when I heard howling and more noise. As I got closer I saw Mama running in her wolf form you hold from her mouth. I shifted and ran as fast as I could when they threw a blast of fire that knocked you out of her mouth. I hurried and grabbed you out of the way,hid you in the trees and ran as fast I could to help your mama. But as I was running I heard you scream one of the witches grabbed you from the tree you were in. As I ran towards you, your mama was already half way there pumping her legs faster than I have ever seen run before. When she made to you I was finally catching up. Mama took you out of the witches hands and threw you to me when I got closer. She kissed your head and whispered something I couldn't hear. As I turned to run with you the witch appeared right in front of me. I set you down behind me growling her when out of nowhere Mama jumped in front of me with her holy dagger in her hand. 

"Remember your promise to me George. Take care of Lex, take care of our sweet baby girl." She said through our link.

"Nora? What are you doing?!"

She didn't answer me instead she plunged her dagger into the witches heart and flung them over the riverfalls.

"NORA!!!"

That was the last time I heard my beautiful wifes voice. I found her body and buried her in the place where we first met. Her funeral is when Drea came back and brought Sia. Since then Drea has been here living in the grove but we never talk. But also since then I have kept my promise to your mama,my wife. To keep you safe and to train you the way we dreamed about when we first got you. And I will continue to raise you that way until God sees it fit for me to join your mama in the streets of gold.

"I miss Mama,Papa. I miss her so much."

"I miss her too Lex. But she wouldn't want us to be sad would she?"

"No. I'm going to be a great wolf warrior and rid the world of those demons! I want to train now."

"Okay kiddo. Lets shift run through our territory to see how fast you are."

We shift together and take off running. What Papa doesn't know is that I remember everything of that day. Every bit of that day has been on repeat in my mind for the last 10 years. I remember what Mama said in my ear when she threw me to Papa...

"Be brave my sweet Lexi."
