My lungs burned. My legs pounded. My heart ached.

A deer sprinted away, it’s white tail showing, and other small animals rushed towards their homes. Fearing the new white wolf in the woods.

I pushed myself, hard, harder, as far as my long legs would launch through the air. Barely clinging to the mud in between steps. I almost slammed into trees, sprinting so fast that trunks enlarged in my vision the second before I veered around it. The wind whipped my hair. Smells assaulted my senses and then passed a moment later.

Voices filled my head, yet only one mattered.

I shut them all off, flinging myself into the darkness of the forest. The darkness his betrayal threw me into.

A loud crashing sound brought me to my senses and I glanced backwards.

Dragon wings veered and stumbled through the woods, breaking small trees and shredding skin.

Avery was chasing me.

No! No. I lowered my body to decrease the friction of my body, and my steps grew more agile. I pushed myself even faster. Away from him. Away from the truth.

He’d been right all along.

I didn’t want to know the truth. I couldn’t handle it.

I jumped over logs and boulders. I smelled a body of water and headed away from it. The open space would only give Avery the advantage he needed to catch me.

The ground was slippery, wet from the melting snow and water sprayed over my fur as I rushed through it. My feet were wet, my fur was getting muddy and cold was seeping through my bones. I stumbled, tripping over a log. I grunted as I slid across the muddy terrain and then Avery’s arms wrapped around me.

Panicking, I squealed out. Wiggling my hips, I tried to slide out from his hold. Tightening his grip, he lifted me up in the air. I strained against him, pushing at his arms with my paws but his hold was too tight. I growled, angry now, showing my teeth.

“Stop it, Lizzy, just let me explain.”

I shifted into my human form and he had to grapple with me to keep his hold on me.

“You tried to kill me. There’s nothing to talk about.” His arms were around my waist and I pushed against him. “Let me go!”

He crushed me to him, growling. “Just let me land. We’re too high up.” I looked down, just now noticing that we were high over the tree line. I clasped my arms around him, afraid he would drop me. He flew lower, heading for the river.

As soon as he landed, I jumped out of his arms, forcing space between us.

“Please, Lizzy, just let me explain.”

“There’s nothing you can say, Avery.” I couldn’t stop the rage in my voice, the anger that churned my stomach at the violence of his betrayal. “You shot me. That pretty much says it all.” It was so cold and wet, and the wind blew through my hair, biting my exposed skin. I clasped my arms around myself, shivering. I couldn’t stop shaking. He stepped closer but I backed away.
