“its free for both of us if we don’t tell on each other.” Sly boy.“Done,” I felt elated. A job. I had a job! Sure, Michael seemed a bit creepy and the benefits were a bit too sketchy to be honest I had nothing better to do.“Michael Thunks,” he smiled holding out his hand.“Echo,” I shook his hand back.“Just Echo?” Michael didn’t release my hand.“Just Echo,” I nodded.“Neat name. Uniform shirt is in the back. Maybe you should grab some jeans too,” he looked down at my sport shorts. "There's some in stock in the back I haven't hung on the rack yet."I nodded and walked behind the counter to the back room. The space wasn't very big but that was to be expected. Looking around, it was hard to find the uniforms he was talking about. Below the counter of paperwork and locked drawers, there was a rubber maid full of black polo shirts of different with the store’s name in the upper left corner. There were some merchandise in boxes and on a table, one had a pair of skinny jeans that were my

“Our fries are now free to refill and we have a new burger called Fire Burger. Also, our shakes are on sale for our jumbo size. Would you like any water to start you off?”“Um,” I examined the menu. “No thanks. I’ll go ahead and order my drink which will be a large coke and small sweet tea.”“Alright,” the girl unnecessarily wrote my order down. “I’ll be right back with that.” As the girl walked away, I could tell something was off about her but decided not to think about it. She may have been ready to leave work.I scanned the menu and chose a steak burger with fries with a side of corn along with a dessert of a hot fudge sunday. I relayed my order and dug into my food minutes later. It was delicious. I finished everything. Not one scrap on my plate nor drop in my drink. I placed three dollars on the table as a tip and went to pay for my food. Afterwards, I only had thirty five dollars and thirty six cents left over.I pocketed the money and walked down the sidewalk until I was hidden

“Graphic design.” He answered after a long pause. I assessed him. He worked in a store like this, dressed like a punk and was interested in graphic design? Sounded like a gamer. I had two second cousins who were twins and they were somewhat like Michael now that I thought about it. “Do you want to create video games?” I watched him carefully hoping he wouldn’t get mad at me again.“Something like that,” was all he said before cursing at his laptop.“I’m gonna go change.” I pointed out the door and left without waiting for a response.As I got dressed, I went over the store inventory and what my job entailed as well as self-loathing the fact that I didn't do that on the way here. I hoped there wasn't a test. Today would hopefully be a good day and I could keep myself in high spirits as I worked knowing that each day I was closer to my freedom. The very thought got my blood pumping and I quickly forgot about the incident this morning as well as any thought of being completely exiled fro

“How do you dry off? Don’t you get cold at night? How do you get food?” Michael was very into this topic.“Customer,” I answered seeing two girls walking into the store on the camera, their arrival also announced by the ‘ding dong’ sound at the shop entrance.“Hey!” Michael frowned. He wasn’t done with the conversation, but I was. Who the heck wanted to learn how a girl dries off after emerging from a freezing stream? Shaking my head, I moved to greet the customers.Michael and I slowly grew closer day by day. He was less tense and smiled more. I hated that this budding friendship was going to end soon. I even bought a one-piece swimsuit and brought Michael to the wood’s for a swim on our day off-turns out there are two other employees, Drake and Hailey. We had a blast but we were shivering really bad afterwards. After he left, I let my fur warm me as a wolf while I sunbathed.Besides being with Michael, I watched the motel when I could to pass the time. The hairs on the back of my nec

“Uh , this is Riverdale, yes?” I nodded to confirm the girl’s question. “I’m looking for a city hall that looks like this. It says the photo was taken in Riverdale but I can't seem to find it.” She pushed a printed copy of a court house at me.I leaned over to examine the picture and froze. That was my hometown’s court house! I wasn’t about to let a pack enter my alpha’s territory. I snapped my attention back up to the girl and she shied away at the sudden movement.“That’s in Horsedale,” I lied as convincingly as I could. Horsedale was three hours away. To me that was still too close.“No it’s not,” the boy with purple eyes joined the girl at the counter. He had to be six feet tall. I didn’t let his stern glare intimidate me. My protectiveness of my pack overruled any fear I did or should feel.“Then I can’t help you,” I returned to working on the hangers angry that the boy and girl still stood there.“Oh, yes you can. I know what you are.” I glanced sideways at the boy seeing the sil

I jiggled the handle. It was unlocked. Removing my hand, I contemplated my next move. If I left, who knows what I may not learn. If I entered, maybe I could see if they’d truly left and search for anything suspicious. Another part of me was warning me that it was all a trap. I was playing into their hand but as a lower ranking pack member, I could take the blows. If I could fight a rabid wolf almost twice my size then I could handle this, right? Deciding, I cracked open the door. It wasn’t empty. Suitcases were piled against a wall and a cup of four toothbrushes sat on the sink.The two beds were messy and the lamp in between them was still on. Walmart plastic bags were strewn across a circular table with candy wrappers practically hiding the bags from sight.I wrinkled my nose at the sight. I didn’t even want to look in the bathroom.Quickly, I searched the room. Under the bed, covers and mattresses, behind the tv, VCR and DVD slots and amongst the garbage around the table. I wasn’t

There! A lynx. It stood on a rock almost completely blending in. It was staring at me in challenge. I twitched my right ear. There were lynx here? I waited for it to make its exit and it vanished up the mountain side.My hackles lowered and I sat, realizing how numb my paws were. I lifted one to examine it. A tad sore and red but thankfully not cut. I cleaned each paw as best as I could and rested under a tree-which didn’t really help keep me dry. Before I knew it, my head was on my paws and my eyes drooped shut.A bird chirped, awaking me. I yawned, extending my front legs. While it felt like I’d slept for hours I could tell by the position of the sun that I’d only slept thirty minutes.“Dang it,” I stood, all my joints stiff. I lost precious time. I should rest in my den, not here. Still a bit tired, I decided to walk instead of run. My thoughts slowly turned to Alpha, Draugluin and Lyall. Oh, what would they think? My steps slowed but I made them move faster. Was I scared? That was

Draugluin , the next alpha, was trusting me to keep silent which was a strange mixed of terrifying and exciting. I nodded slowly and solemnly.He led me behind the first, big boulder and wedged behind were two other boulders with a steel door. With great expertise, Draugluin used something in his hand to pick the lock and opened the door with ease. I searched behind me before being ushered inside, just now realizing that he'd picked neutral colored clothes to better camouflage us from any unwanted attention.It was damp inside and I could hear water dripping somewhere within. My eyes quickly adjusted to the dark and I saw crates come into view along with an unlit lamp and large, wooden chest.Draugluin sat on a crate before lighting the lamp. The flame gave the place a soft glow but cast foreboding shadows. I hurried and sat on the crate across from Draugluin . Not even a creak from the wood.“I’ve been doing research for a long time now,” Draugluin whispered. “There’s been something d

Draugluin strapped my clothes tightly around me. We'd have to go the speed of sound in order to get back on track. The two of us stretched some before charging at full speed. The ground rose and dipped. While running, I got a to see a flash of police car lights. Two nice looking cars had had a head on collision. Out of three police officers, two were separating the two angry drivers who were shouting violently at one another. One gentleman was in a suit while the other was in casual clothing. The man in the suit looked up but I doubted he saw anything but the dim outline of wolves darting away.Soon, the landscape changed drastically. The forest turned into fields. We kept moving at a fast pace but made sure no one would see us. Draugluin and I reached the edge of Paris by sunset. We quickly morphed and dressed before trying to casually walk through the mass of bodies. The traffic wasn't too busy but the sidewalks were congested. Young couples smiled and chatted, a mother and daughte

We both dug in, yanking away the outer skin to tear into the meaty flesh. I barely chewed. All the energy I had exerted in running and the adrenaline pumping through me to keep me going had slowly made me hungry. Though I could have made it to America without eating, I was glad that this small feast allowed some rejuvenation."We'll have to bury this as discreetly as we can," Draugluin paused after getting a drink from the stream. "It will be evidence for Alpha Jon about our location if he passes through this area.""Won't he see a giant mound of dirt with poorly placed grass lumps covering it?""Not if we bury it in the slope. That's where I caught it. There's actually a little outcropping not too far from here. I was above the deer and dropped on him before he saw. It was an easy kill. We can dig into the dirt towards the bottom of the slope which will look more natural.""We'll drag blood through the grass." I felt like Miss Negative."It's the best we can do for right now. Our onl

"But-""Keep watch," Draugluin interjected. He poked his head into the dandelion-yellow lit sidewalk. I watched the back of his head swivel side to side, his muzzle peeking out from behind the thick furs of his side. Though it was spring, Draugluin still had his winter coat and it was thick and bushy like a beard but soft as bunny's fur. I wanted to snuggle my face into it. If only my fur was the same.When Draugluin crossed the street, I leaned my head out and sniffed the air while glaring intensely in every direction. My fur wasn't beautiful. At least I didn't think so. It was rough and striped with a bright, neon rainbow that didn't lay even on me at all. My green stripe was usually thicker than my pink and purple while the blue looked like a fading hair coloring. They red and yellow strips were the only consistent colors that weren't too thick or thin or too bright. I never outwardly complained because I had it easy. My curse was so tame compared to others' like Freki. My eyes dr

I walked up and pressed my body against his. Touch was very important for wolves and I felt that, despite our rank difference, Draugluin needed some sort of comforting. I could feel Mozzy's muscles tense then relax before tensing again. "It's okay," I reassured him. "Let's go but using our heads.""Alright." He stepped onto the road for a couple seconds. "We go straight for half a mile then turn right, continuing on for another two miles."After he returned to the cover of the trees, we took off. Now that I had calmed Mozzy, I mulled over what he said to me. What was bugging me wasn't the deadly poison that could be released on us. Draugluin had been taking poison over the years for immunity? Did Jun and Maengun also do it? Did Alpha Mother? What were the effects of starting to take poisons over time as children into adults?'I don't know anything about Alpha or his mate and sons. What's really going on within the pack?' I peeked at Draugluin before dodging a tree that I nearly kissed

“What do we do,” I whispered to Mozzy. With him practically covering me, I couldn’t see what was going on behind me. I almost whined in fear.Why was I acting like a frightened pup? Perhaps I didn’t want all the hard work Draugluin and I had done in Paris ruined in an instant. Maybe I didn’t want to lose the taste of freedom.There was a crunch of boots against gravel and dragging steps. One pair was getting closer to us. I trembled. I couldn’t move! The steps were coming closer!“Je peux les sentir,” it was Bayard and I hoped he wouldn’t call Alpha Jon over. The steps slowed then stopped. There was a shuffling of denim before I heard the pant of a wolf. I felt the urge to see what Bayard looked like as a wolf but I couldn’t turn. “Alpha Jon, avez-vous trouvé quelque chose?”“Non,” the alpha called back.“Merde!” Bayard snarled and...stepped down into the bushes!I shut my eyes and focused on taking deep, slow breathes. In. Out. I tried to swallow but the book was pressed against my th

than expected, Alpha had to bribe the few construction workers and carpenters of the pack that, if they could create a new, large extension of the house in the back left side before the pups were six months old, the workers wouldn't have to pay their monthly pack contribution for an entire year. The men were already planning what they would do with the extra money they'd have left over. One said he'd take his mate on a long needed vacation for the both of them. If only an alpha could take a vacation every once in a while.Alpha Mother came in with Alpha's hot mug of coffee accompanied with a side of cheese, crackers and sliced salami. Her quick barefoot steps were silent on the red, velvet carpet. After setting the tray down, she sighed. "Have you heard anything from Alpha Jon?""Not yet," Alpha took a swig of the coffee while his mate sat in one of the chairs before his desk, fiddling with the tray she'd brought all the goods on. The tapping against the bronze made Alpha's ears itch

I didn't retaliate. Now wasn't the time to squabble, playfully or no. When we reached the first level, there were two, very familiar faces standing in our path: Julias and Bayard. "Hi," Bayard sneered and tried to jump me, but Draugluin was already in his wolf form, sending the boy flying against a wall. Bayard rubbed his head but was ready to fight once more. Julias was already leaping at Mozzy, trying to tear into him but he wasn't big enough to take Draugluin down. Bayard was about to go into wolf form when I punched him down again. "Aw, did the wittle baby get a booboo? Poor baby." I taunted him to keep him distracted. Draugluin needed to take down battle experienced Julias. "You American rat. Why don't you go rot in sewers where not even the scavengers will feed on your flesh?!""What's that reference," I ducked a punch, readying my arms to block a knee. I winced as I blocked, but not from the impact. The corner of the book dug into my stomach when I ducked so low."Out of sha

It was no longer common for new wolves to integrate into the Grey pack, but so many wolves had entered in the past that mating within the pack was safe. Most of the wolves weren’t related by blood. But if Lyall’s parents met and married for love, why were they pushing him to be with Marigold?Lyall slowed and laughed, enjoying the rain that slithered down his body. How had his mind changed from Lucian to his parents trying to force him into an arranged marriage? Could it have been a distraction his mind set up?“You might get sick.”Lyall peered upwards to see Marigold holding a striped black, blue and white umbrella. She looked irritated.“I’m sorry. Did Alpha send you out here? How'd you get in this school with the gate closed?” Lyall shook his hair, hands on his hips. Why hadn't he heard her coming? He would have at least heard the rain bouncing off the umbrella.“I was looking for you and peeked out the window. I thought to myself that you were an idiot, running in the rain, but

Draugluin was shaking his head. I couldn’t tell if it was disapproval or disbelief. Whichever it was, he didn’t hesitate to break up the conversation by stepping on the treadmill and changing the setting. Julianna quickly restarted her stopwatch as Draugluin started running.The show-off didn’t follow my plan at all. Instead he ran at a steady jog for fifteen minutes. Then he ran fast for ten minutes before slowing and stopping.“Twenty-five minutes and fifty-nine seconds,” Julianna lifted the watch to Alpha Jon’s eye level. He didn’t look happy at the results but didn't complain like he did with me. Hopefully he did consider the possibility that we were slightly out of shape; or doubting the Grey pack's ability.Draugluin sent me a grin. He was looking down on my tactic! His didn't seem to be much better. I balled my fists, feeling my nails dig impressions into my skin but I wouldn’t squeeze so hard as to draw blood. That would be annoying to explain and take care of. Draugluin gentl
