Chapter 18

Speed. The wind in my fur. The haze of the woods. My heart pounding with fatigue. My legs shaking under the weight. There was nothing in the world better than running. Well, I hated to run in my human form because it was excruciatingly boring, but as a wolf… There were no limits to the pleasure I felt running at top speed amongst the trees, leaping over the obstacles, landing into the poodles… I could clear my head freely and as my mind was emptied out of its thoughts, I filled it with air and peace. It was blissful. No more witches, no more Johan, no more Ryan. Only me and the woods, me and the wind, me and speed.

The sun had set long ago, it had to be like 10 p.m. What a day… I’d woken up alone at sunrise and I’d go to bed alone at sundown. I’d spent my day with the sun, holding it close by its rays, happily strolling by its side, feeding from its warmth. He was a good friend. Just like the rain, he had amazing powers. He warmed up people’s hearts in a second, just by showing up, and so smiles showed up on their faces too. He’d swirl around in the sky, bringing light in the middle of the darkness of humankind. From time to time, he was upset, and so he’d shine brighter and brighter, and burn everything, the skin, the land, the sea. His commitment was endless: there was not a day when he did not get up, and he was always on time. He was a loyal friend, who gladly let the moon shine too, as he went away to brighten up other places. He had the power to give nature life, but he could also take it away. He was vital but dangerous. There was no better oxymoron than the sun.

I transformed back into my human form at the fringe of the woods. My body seemed to be fond of sore muscles. I may have run a bit too long, but so much the better: I needed to do exercise and stay fit. I wouldn't be able to stop my enemies by rolling over them like a giant ball of chocolate. I didn’t want to lose weight, I only needed to be in good shape and keep strengthening my muscles. And I also wanted to learn how to fight properly, but that's another kettle of fish.

When I arrived at the witches’ house, it was empty. A smidge of concern entered my mind, but I suddenly remembered that I could find out where the members of my pack were through the bond that united us all. I followed Lola’s bright orange thread, Milo’s brown one, and Clemencia and Colin which were green, and I spotted them. They were at the festival in the neighboring town, with the witches. They were safe, not in the claws of Ryan. I took advantage of the quietness of the house to take a long hot shower.
