"Matilda, would you care to go hunting with me" the deep husky voice of my father resonates in the morning Rays, I felt overwhelmed and excited, by the slight thought of going hunting with him.
my deep blue eyes bored Into his before I stretched a smile on my face, I felt oddly overwhelmed, as my eyes wandered to a ferocious yet calm look. his look was quite compelling yet soothing at the same time.
"yes Father, I'd love to go hunting with you," I said, and then I started running through the wild shrubs, there was that unknown thrill that I had never felt before, it was almost like I was alive and I wanted to explore the night.
I felt free, I felt that blood rush that I can't deny, my heart palpated rapidly, and I was speeding up at an insane speed.
"I know this is the day" he voiced out gently before he howled to the open scenery of the canopied trees, his furs sprung up in his bare body, and he groaned at the excruciating pain, it only lasted for a millisecond before he transforms into a full wolf.
he is an ash wolf, the wolf that screams of power and resilience, I felt so proud to be called his daughter.
I was looking at him in a daze before he nuzzled closer to me, and then he purred a light moan to my face, making me feel better than I already was.
"run Matilda, don't stop, just focus" His mind linked me, and I stretched a welcoming smile on my face before I started running aimlessly into the clearing, my heart was beating erratically against my rib cage.
I let out an unusually loud howl. " you can do it, Matilda, I believe in you" the voice of my father encouraged, I felt so much blood rush, my eyes enclosed in the warmth of the forest clearing, the river Banks was almost echoing to my unsettled mind, I tried to focus only to hear a familiar voice.
"I want to be out"
"uh?" I asked confused, to the unknown voice.
"don't be confused, let your wolf take charge" my father advised, I closed my eyes, before I stared at the bright rising sun, I know many wolves receive their energy from the moon, but there was that unknown intensity as the lukewarm heat, radiated on my body.
I felt so much energy radiating from me, " I'm your wolf " a sweet voice, oozed from me before evident furs sprung on my bare silky white skin.
my eyes turned to a darker shade of crimson hollow red, I bent down on all fours, feeling so much pain, the pain was so excruciating that I groaned so loudly, I couldn't take it anymore, I just wanted something to stop the pain.
time went by and no form of rescue, I was in so much pain, that I bet I could pass out at any given second, after countless minutes, I succumbed to the ground on all fours, my breathing was even, and my heartbeat was gentle yet faster than it's normal speed.
I gently opened my eyes, only to notice my ethereal white skin had now turned to furs, I grimaced while trying to stand up.
I then noticed that my furs were in a very rare colour, it was a deep shade of silver.
my father walked up to me still on all fours, before he nuzzled closer to me, " I know you have always been special because you receive energy from the sun instead of the moon like a normal wolf" he said gently, I closed my eyes while trying to digest the information.
I couldn't bring myself to say a word, but there was that unknown thrill of ecstasy that I couldn't hide, even though I wanted to.
" We have to keep you safe, because your type of wolf, only arises, once in thousands of years, and you are known for many things, you can do things that no ordinary wolf could do," he said, before he transformed into his human form, he was left with a pair of boxers.
I allowed myself to dive into the excruciating pain before I then transformed into my human self, but unfortunately, I was stagnant naked, with nothing to cover my bare body. I was shy under his gaze, but he rather did the unexpected when he stretched a smile on his face.
"Don't be ashamed of me, because I'm your father," he said, before he handed me a pair of jeans with a blank tank top, I gladly accepted before I wore the clothes that were being handed to me by my father.
when I was done, we sat close to each other, while looking at the overflowing water of the river, I felt so much Peace, by just being so close to him. My father is the best person in my life, I don't think I can ask for anything else other than what he has done to me, the place was eerily silent, as my heartbeat spoke out the unspoken words. My father cupped my cheeks, making me look at him, which I did.
"for your safety, it's advised that you don't transform unless you are with me, because you do so, many people will start a predatory hunt for a young life," he said to me, which made me nod my head, before I went closer to him, feeling so warmth, I couldn't bring myself to another word, but I was glad to have someone like him in my life.
"let's go" he urged, I nodded before we stood up to leave, only to hear a deafening scream, not just any screams, but the scream of both pain and agony, and it was coming from our pack.
"did you hear that?" I asked with a panic-etched voice, unable to control fear any longer, I rushed towards the pack with the little strength I had in me, but my father tried to stop me, but my petrified state was saying the latter.
"wait" my father urged, but I was not listening.
I kept on running, I only noticed a very heart-wrenching scene, all displayed in sight.
