Wolf at the Camping

Consequences

He put his hand on her shoulder, she didn't react but he could feel the wolf readying herself to take over, "Lisa! Stay human! I'm here! Nothing happened! You're not there, we're at the camping!" he told her trying to make her return to him, to make her regain control of her wolf. He stopped and removed his hand, thinking that would help her. It didn't.

"Talk to me!" she almost growled, the wolf was almost there.

"About what?" he asked only to punch himself internally, she needed help, his help, right now!

"Anything! Just talk to me!" she yelled growling the wolf was upon her, if her wolf took over he would have to fight her.

He never wanted to fight her, he wouldn't bear it if he ever hurt her. So he talked. He told her about his childhood, how he used to spend his winters by a frozen lake, next to an ancient forest. And about his summers, when he would explore the forest and then swim in the lake. He told her about his childhood dreams and his old friends. he almost told her about seeing her the previous night, he almost told her that his wolf wanted her as his mate, that his human half was falling for her. That both his halves wanted her to agree to be his for the rest of his life... He almost....

"Thank you!" she wispered and he felt his face burning.

His next words would be 'You are my mate!' and that would most probably have her running away from him.He just smiled apologetically back at her, "I am sorry for bringing it up." he said and she stood.

"Nothing to apologize for. Anyway it's in the past, and he got what he deserved. He can no longer run under a full moon.:" she said, her eyes sparkling and he smile so radiant it could light his whole world.

"Was he, executed?" he asked, it wouldn't surprise him if he were. To some packs a wolf carrying silver was a death sentence on its own.

"No! Off Course not! That would be too cruel." she exclaimed, sounding insulted. A heartbeat later she was smiling again, "And he woulldn't learn anything from dying. He will be spending every fullmoon in a silver cage in the pack's house. He isn't allowed to shift into his wolf outside the cage. He is the newest example on what will happen to anyone who cannot control their wolf or urges." she said and started walking back to the camping.

Jake followed her, a dozen questions circling his mind. "And, what happened to you?" he asked softly.

She looked at him, still smiling sweetly as she thought exactly what had happened to her, "It wasn't that bad. After all... I'm but a cub to them. I still needed to learn how to control my wolf. The, The Alpha helped me and.. here i am." she said. Though she couldn't help but worry about the girls. What if she ever lost control in front of them? They wouldn't know what to do about her. And Sara... She would relive that horrible afternoon....No, she could never allow herself to lose control in front of the girls. Never!"

"What are you thinking about? You seem terribly serious for someone who's on vacation!" he said and she looked at him smiling, trying to make it look real.

"It;s nothing. I was, wondering how the girls are doing. They won't expect to have a guest on our very first day here." she tried to cover up, knowing he had caught her lie and hoping he wouldn't pursue the truth behind it. Not now at least, they were almost at the cabin and she could tell the girls were at the porch watching them as the approached the cabin.

Lunch was ready, everything was in place, but the guest of honour was nowhere to be seen. Sarah started pacing again on the porch.

"Worrying won't make her come back earlier." Anna, always the wise one said.

"I just wish she had told me whos she was going to meet!" Sarah stated and sighed, "Who could she have met here? And when? She was a wolf for goodness' sake!"

Anna smiled gently but didn't answer to her friend's questions. Her answers and theories would make Sarah even more anxious. Anna knew what had happened on Christmas, everyone in the pack knew, but noone wanted to be the one to give Sarah the news. She had been through enough, no need to scratch those almost healed wounds.

Sarah turned once again to her friend and was ready to ask her what had brought that sceptic look on her face when Anna jumped up and ran off, on the same way that Lisa had taken this morning. Sarah turned and looked but could only be sure of Anna running towards a couple of people. Could it be that Lisa was finally returning? And if so, who was with her? A cold sweat ran down her spine as her mind revisited the memories of that morning's dream. 'Had Lisa met the black wolf last night? And if so, why would she bring him to their cabin?' She felt her knees weakening and sat on the chair a step behind her. She felt nauseous all of a sudden.

He put his hand on her shoulder, she didn't react but he could feel the wolf readying herself to take over, "Lisa! Stay human! I'm here! Nothing happened! You're not there, we're at the camping!" he told her trying to make her return to him, to make her regain control of her wolf. He stopped and removed his hand, thinking that would help her.
