Wolf Endangered (Willow's Forbidden Pack #2) - Avery Song Page 0,89

to carry the name of a wolf shifter rather than a common wolf in these parts.

Standing up, I stretched and wondered what to do next. That was when I caught onto a specific scent. It was weird at first, but then it began to grow stronger the more I concentrated on it. There was a hint of metallic compared to the overwhelming scent of Irish soap. It reminded me of the scent of someone who washed their hands a lot because they used their hands far too often, but then I moved past those initial scents and caught the true scent hidden beneath it all.

My whole body sat up like I'd been frightened by something, but I wasn't frightened in the slightest. I was thrilled. The scent was weak at first, but it felt like the aroma doubled - almost as though another with a similar scent joined the first.

The second scent's uniqueness revolved around rich colognes that weren't as bold as the wolf watching me. It was to a lesser degree like the aroma was only applied once in a while and reserved for someone important.

It didn't matter anymore because I knew who those scents belonged to, and my new duty was to find them.

MATES!

I was running before I registered it, my world a blur once more while I panted happily as I got closer and closer. It took me a second to realize a cliff was coming up. The jump to the other side was rather strenuous for a jump, but I wasn't slowing down.

Speed! Speed! MATES!

Something tried to call to me, but I bluntly ignored it because nothing was going to distract me from my goal. Absolutely nothing.

When I pushed off the ground, my eyes were focused on the prize - the other side. I glided through the air like I weighed nothing in this world, but when I began to fall, the will to reach the end only spiked further.

The controlling force in the driver’s seat howled lightly, and energy rushed to my four paws until I crashed upon a massive platform of white. When I pushed off of it, another platform appeared for my landing. This time around, its glowing surface was neon pink.

I pushed off, summoned a platform of glowing energy, and with one final push to reach the other side, I landed. That was when a large white wolf with black ends came out of the woods to greet me.

There was no delay as I somehow knew exactly which mate this was compared to the wolf whose name was on the tip of my tongue. This one was the one to ask to be found.

And I found him.

I ran straight to him, not a single strand of fear within me as I launched myself at him. The two of us crashed and rolled along the ground playfully - happy yelps and playful banter escaping our lips as we rolled and frolicked.

I ended up running around him in circles, to the point that he just sat back to watch my hyper self. I howled while running, so happy to be with my mate, only to notice another wolf literally come out of thin air that was cloaked in black shadows.

Pausing in my running spree, I immediately changed courses and tackled the poor wolf of black with silver highlights. He went down for the count. He was at least double my size and yet he went down almost on purpose as I happily licked his face and began running around him.

He was far calmer than my first mate as he admired my happy, hyper self and reached over to lick my face when I came to a stop. We pressed our foreheads together at that moment, and the way my heart swarmed with love from the gesture that meant so much to me could make me whimper in sadness.

I felt my other mate come from behind to comfort me, licking the side of my face as I pulled back to acknowledge both of them. With a nudge from their snouts, I backed up playfully and lay on all fours while my tail wagged swiftly.

There was far too much energy in me to just stay still for too long, and though it felt like they were trying to say something to me, I brushed it off and ran away.

"Woof!" my white wolf called out to me, but I was gone, searching for what I smelled was other wolves. It only took me a minute to enter
