Caleb

I trotted back to the patio and leapt up before shaking the snow out of my coat and sitting next to one of the fire pits to warm up. Anna was still tearing around in the snow and teasing the other guys. She nipped at Cody to get him to keep chasing her but was able to keep artfully dodging him every time he would get close. The twins joined in on the chase, but Anna was quick and agile enough to avoid being caught by all three of them and was always one step ahead. If I had been in my human form, I would have laughed out loud at the sight of the three of them chasing her around.

It was clear than Anna was in her element right now. Her white coat blended into the couple inches of snow that were covering the ground and she didn’t mind the snow that was still steadily falling from the sky. Her tail was held high and her eyes bright with happiness. I was glad that she could take an hour or so away from the stress and grief that she had been tormenting herself with.

I would have normally retired to the peace and quiet of my room by now, but I couldn’t tell Anna no when she asked me to come out and play in the snow with her. I was glad that she had pushed me tonight, I had more fun than I would have expected.

Once I was warm enough, I decided to leave Anna to her fun and head back inside. Maybe I could surprise her with a new lead on Christmas morning. I ducked into the shadowed alcove where I had left my clothes so that I could shift back into my human form. But the murmured voices coming from the left side of the house made me hesitate. I flicked my ears in their direction when I heard Anna’s name mentioned.

“Must be nice to have a purebred wolf like that to warm your bed at night,” the first voice grumbled.

“What makes you think she’s purebred?” The second man asked.

“The white coat, doesn’t that mean she’s some kind of special wolf?” I recognized this voice as belonging to Derek, one of the guys who had just returned from the Middle East.

I heard a snort. “Maybe she’s special, but that doesn’t make her more of a wolf than the rest of us. I think it means she has a fae ancestor closer than she wants to admit,” I heard Blaze tell them. Now that I recognized Derek and Blaze, I was able to identify the second man as Pete. All three of them were on the same team together.

“Fae?” Pete said in disgust. “Our world would be better off without any of them here. We don’t need that shit.”

“Good luck convincing Austin of that,” Blaze said angrily. “He’s not willing to listen to reason where she’s involved.”

“You think she’s like that Gemma chick the guys were telling us about?” Derek asked.
