Dakota and Tala waited for them by the entrance to the community although they called it a village. It was what the modern youth of his generation had started to call the countryside, as such there was a lot of nature all around for them to enjoy . As the two teens came into sight both wolves started to bark. Tala barked happily with her tail wagging in excitement while Dakota barked more in a tone that said “hurry up would ya” Amani smiled brightly and ran towards the siblings “ hey guys! I missed you “ she hugged the siblings like they were old friends of hers. In all honesty she always felt more at home with them than the kids in school. And she suspected they understood her when she spoke to them , she also wondered if they weren't werewolves although she had grown up side by side with the wolves there were some who felt very human to her for some reason. As the four of them were walking she noticed two more wolves joined them ever so slightly a step behind before 2 more joined at an even further distance. She smiled but said nothing. This kind of thing happened sometimes and unlike some girls from other areas it didn't scare her one bit in fact she felt protected. Ever since that first day Dakota had tried to save her from that furious black bear she had felt extremely safe around wolves after all his father who actually did scare her sometimes had saved her as well. While they walked in silences the wolves were to her obliviousness talking to one another “ I don't smell anything out of the ordinary and the scouts say it looks fine so let's enjoy ourselves but still stay alert” that was Mingan the eldest of the 4 new wolves “ I can't wait to find out what big sister packed for lunch it smells amazing!” Dakota rolled his eyes at his younger sister there was a snicker from one of the other males though “if you keep eating her cooking you won't be able to rollover soon” her teased her she growled and snapped at the wolf walking next to her which made Amani jump in surprise “what's a matter girl ? Is that boy getting too close to my pretty love?” she asked leaning down and petting Tala around the ears much to the young wolf's enjoyment while the male grunted “pretty my butt” he muttered to himself Amani paid attention to him next “if you want to win her heart my friend you must bring her lots of food, the way to her heart is definitely through her stomach “ she laughed and handed Tala a sausage roll which stopped any protest the young wolf had been about to make. She handed a roll to each of the wolves and then said “ now that you have had a treat I expect you to not touch our basket until after we have caught some fish okay “ Tala whimpered, lowering her head and looking up at her with the biggest puppy eyes Amani had ever seen. She laughed and shook her head “not this time girl we have 3 more wolves than usual so we need to share equally with them “ Tala glared at the boys and wished she was alone with Amani instead. But since they were here to keep Amani safe. She had no choice but to sigh and accept a cut in her food rations to feed Mingan and Kiyiya after all she wasn't greedy enough to deprive them of Amani's soul food even if they did tease her over her love of food sometimes .
After an hour of watching the group fishing over the bridge's ledge a scout noticed there was someone walking towards them on the bridge. The man smelled like he was part wolf and he had a strong enough aura to know he was no easy enemy to beat if they had to take him down . He was roughly 6”1 and was about 210 lbs give or take a steak or two . He looked to be at least 40 and had graying black hair with the build of an athlete,calloused hands, long legs and dressed in casual clothes. They kept alert ready to rush to the rescue if they needed to but otherwise stayed silent. Amani had her normal fishing contraption tied to the bars of the bridge and she and Zonta were pulling it up to survey their catch when Tala's ears had perked up “someone is coming brother” being as young as she was she was unusually sensitive to the presence of others “you get ready to run if you have to , I can't have you getting hurt while I am trying to protect Amani” he told his little sister hoping she wouldn't be too upset but as her big brother he had to keep her safe as well . None of them moved as they watched the man approach. The only person oblivious to the approaching man was Amani herself; she was looking over her fish, happy with the haul she transferred them into the cooler on wheels. It was only as she straightened herself up and tossed her trap back over the side of the bridge she noticed him at all and he was already more than half way to their destination he smiled at her as their eyes met and instinctively she moved closer to Zonta a spell at the ready to buy them some time should this stranger be bad news there was something about his eyes that put her on edge. “Hello there ladies, I would like to pass if you could get your ugh friends to clear a path please” there was a cold feeling to that voice that made the attempt at niceties fall flat to their ears the wolves moved and surrounded Amani and Tala next to her she had her hand on Tala's head in an attempt to not betray her discomfort something about this man really made her feel uncomfortable though. The wolves were all tense waiting to see what his next move would be but he just ignored them and kept walking across the bridge as though he had no cares in the world at all. Amani hadn't been able to relax and enjoy fishing after having seen that man and so they had packed up after 15 minutes, the moon goddess had smiled down on them though with the bounty they had caught the wolves had followed them all the way back to the campgrounds and she set about making fish steaks with carrots and a mixture of herbs said to promote good health in wolves helping with digestion , blood circulation and stamina. Amani hadn't failed to notice how an all brown wolf had shared part of his meal with Tala and she smiled petted his head and said “if you come alone on Friday I will give you something really good to share with her I promise you will both love it” she winked at him and he looked away quickly making her chuckle to herself. While they enjoyed the spring night in front of the fire across the water a stranger plotted all the ways he could steal Amani away for himself.
Otaktay had decided on the perfect way to make her his after much consideration the best option would be to lure her in to the park where the non werewolf variety of wolves were currently in the mating process on occasion they come down to the water for a drink the packs border as far as he knew ended at the water he just had to draw her into the park . He figured that as long as she saw him looking like he was injured she might go to him,he had seen the way she treated the pack with care and knew she volunteered at the hospital at least once a week so he would take a chance with that approach. Once she was close enough and started to check him for wounds he would grab her and take her there in the woods surrounded by the wolves she loved so much as they were in their mating season she would mate too no matter how she felt about it. All he could think about was having his knot inside of her and wondering if she would still try to run away from him enjoying the thought of the pain she would be in if he took her before she was turned into a wolf . Thinking of all the ways he could and most definitely would enjoy her torment as he tortured her with her beauty, how much better would she look once she was broken and defiled at his feet answering his every perverted whim. He felt the excitement and lust swimming through his veins and hoped she would fall into his trap sooner rather than later. Her type came at a high price as strawberry blonde and red heads were so rare in these parts , after he had his fun with her, Maybe he would sell her to the highest bidder. He had heard there was a vampire out there collecting those with hair the color of fire maybe he would try to find him even if he heated the smell of the undead he might get some pleasure out of having the vampire watch him as he claims her body by having him meet in his castle he already had the perfect room in mind it had a double mirror and the glass was unbreakable he would lock the vampire in there and force him to watch it until she was broken and then he would go to the room and leave her body by the door and have one of his pups open it for him when he was far enough that the vampire could not try to kill him. Once her beauty was ruined even that vermin wouldn't want to keep her alive and he would win over that filthy waste of existence. With an evil smile he started to collect everything he would need to put his plan into action .
