11

Sam stalks the wolf pack through the woods on Dr. Slade’s property. He knew the girl would lead him to the pack. Once you see the Arctic Moon reflected in the eyes of the wolves, you never forget it. As a child Sam was taught the legend of the Arctic wolves from his grandfather. He was Inuit, some call them Eskimo. He never really believed the stories until he saw it with his own eyes.

Sam was eight when his grandfather captured a wolf in a trap. The wolf pack had been causing problems for the hunters for months. A few of the wolves had attacked some of the women and children. Many wanted to move, but his grandfather refused. It was the night of the Arctic Moon. The big blue moon glowed brilliantly in the sky and reflected off the snow, giving everything a touch of blue.

The trap was dug deep, and layered with grass, twigs, and topped with a powder of snow. No one believed it would work. More traps were laid, some with rope, some dug holes, all for the same reason. If the Alpha was stopped, the pack would move. They caught a wolf, but it was not the one they were hoping for. The female lay in the bottom of the trap howling for her mate, jumping to get out. She was not strong enough. The wolves came to her aid and so did the hunters. Sam followed with some of the other boys, excited to be on their first hunt.

The pack circled the hole trying to figure out how to get her out. When they smelled the hunters they began to growl. They would not leave her. The hunters faced the wolves with the trapped wolf between them and lifted their spears. Now they would take care of this growing problem. His grandfather drew back his arm to throw the spear but a brilliant beam of Arctic moon light touched the Alpha male. He threw back his head and howled, the howl turned into a scream. He fell onto his side and began to change! The pack backed away in fear, their leader was in distress. Not sure what to do they ran away into the woods, yelping. Only the she wolf and her mate remained. He lay twitching on the cold snow and the hunters dropped their spears and fell to the ground in amazement. A tall man stood up from the ground, where the wolf once was.

His silver eyes flashed with anger and he growled low in his throat. No one moved as he reached down into the hole to pull his mate to safety. He placed her gently on the ground never taking his eyes off the hunters. He runs his hand through her fur, checking for wounds. Sam never took his eyes off the pair. The she wolf sniffs the man with the silver eyes and sinks her teeth deep into his arm, biting him. She whines and backs away, while he grabs a handful of snow, rubbing it across the wound and washing it clean.
