Wildfire

Chapter 6

Present

I open my eyes and find myself lying in the middle of the field alone. It’s beautiful. I couldn’t help but think if this was heaven.

“Not quite my child” said a female voice echoing in my head. I started to look around confused.

“Then where am I?” I asked.

She replied, “ This place is neither death or life. It’s a halfway point. It’s your choice on what path you take my child.”

“My mate and pack are dead. I don’t want to live anymore.”

“Wildfire” I hear his voice. No it’s not possible.

Suddenly a big black wolf appears. It’s Clyde. I dont even give it a second thought, I run to him and as soon as i get to him I wrap my arms around his neck bursting into tears. His fur is so soft. I feel him nuzzling against me.

“ I want to be with you. I love you. I can’t live without you!” I can’t stop crying. I suddenly feel his hands around me.

“Do you remember why I call you wildfire my love?” He asked me softly in my ear. I can’t help but chuckle as I cry. “ Because when I was kid I would try to take on every boy that doubted that I would become the next head warrior.”

“I also recall you yelling ‘I will destroy you!’ Multiple times” he chuckled.

Suddenly it got quiet. “Kierra. I want you to live. You’re a fighter. So strong and beautiful.”

Shocked I looked at him. “I can’t live without you! You’re my mate! I’m weak without you!” I start to cry harder.

“Shhhh my love. I love you to, but because I love you I need you to live. Live for me, live for our pack, live for your friends, and family. Most of all live for yourself. You have so much to live for. I know it won’t be easy, but you’re not weak my love. You are so strong. I promise it won’t be forever. We will be together again someday I promise. Until that day though I want you to be happy. Meet a good man. Have pups. Live your life to its fullest and I’ll be here.”

“ How can you say that?! I'm suppose to have that life with you!” I yell.

“Love, let me ask you something. What would you tell me if we had the roles were reversed?” He asked softly.

“ That’s not fair.” I said.

“Because you know the answer,” he said.

“It’s time Kierra” the female voice echoed.

Suddenly Clyde kisses me one last time with so much passion.

“Live Kierra” he said as his forehead lays his head on mine. The moves away and walks off slowly disappearing.

“Kierra” says a soft voice. I turn to see a beautiful white wolf with yellow eyes. The voice I heard earlier came for the beautiful creature. I then realize the voice has appeared to me in my wolf form.

“This is your decision,” the white wolf tells me.

“ I want to avenge my pack.” The white wolf nods.

“ I choose to live.” I whisper to myself
