It didn’t take me long to notice the shift in the atmosphere when they entered the clearing. Wherever they went, the rank of bleakness, treachery, and old cheese fallowed them.There were only three titles on the Fox Council. These foxes earned their position through trickery, murder, and deceit. They were the best of the worst.I knew they would come, but I didn’t expect it so soon. Right when I was getting a good sleep too.I thought I hated them before, now I was down right livid.I had slipped into jeans and a tank top, my scars clearly visible. A reminder to the Foxes of what they had put me through, and what I was capable of.I lounged on top of the railing on Cassar’s balcony. One leg stretched on the thin bar, while the other draped off the side. Waiting for the perfect time to make my presence known.All I could do was hope that Cassar wouldn’t do something stupid. Begging him telepathically not to attack. Apparently I was better then I thought because every time something go

I was pissed. Unbelievably pissed.Wolves stared at me. None of them willing to look me in the eyes. Either because I was the Silver Fox or because I was craving blood. Probably both.“Vienna.” A deep voice called my name. “Where did they go?”I shrugged. “I don’t know.”“Why could we not attack?”“Because they would have killed you.” I told him honestly.“How did they disappear?”“No clue.”“Was it all an illusion?”“I can’t see how, but I have no idea.”“Are they gone for good?”“Doesn’t matter, they’ll be back.”“What do you know?”I stopped moving, turning to face Cassar, my eyes glowed a bright silver. “All I know is that they are capable of anything. They use an old dark power that no mortal should have heard about, and they just put a target on the Viribus Pack.”Cassar’s eyes were black with rage, his body shaking. It would not be easy to see creatures come and go on his territory, and he couldn’t even do anything about it.I tuned around heading towards the North. To the one

He reached for my arm but I pulled it away from his grasp before we could touch.I didn’t bother turning around to face him, I just kept walking. “Those foxes found me. It’s only a matter of time before they come again. I don’t plan on being around for that.”I had to get away. Not just from the foxes, but from him.I was in too deep, and I was just now learning that I didn’t know how to swim.Cassar shouted at me, trying to pull me back.I avoided his touch and jumped away from him. I don’t know what would happen if I felt that heat one more time.With those final words I shifted.Now that he knew I was the Silver Fox, I didn’t hide her. Any of her.Silver and white fur sprouted from skin. My bones snapping into a new form. Claws and canines sharpening.Most foxes’ fur changed colour depending on the season, but I never let my own.I wanted creatures to know who I was. I wanted them to know who was coming for them. Hence the nickname, Silver Fox.So when I shifted, I proved that what

Teddy was bigger and younger then her, but he was still new. They were both trained fighters, but Teddy was not as experienced. His movements weren’t sure. His attacks were not powerful enough. The older wolf used that to her advantage.I lunged my broken body forward, reaching for a piece of metal. It was jagged, thin and long. I didn’t know what part of the car it came from, but it would do.It was the only source of weapon I could find on such short notice. I cursed myself for not grabbing my gun earlier. I never learned.I almost cried in pain as I rolled to my hurt shoulder. Freeing my good arm, I took aim.The female pushed Teddy off of her. She scratched at his underbelly. Fur flew all over the place as they wrestled.“Teddy, down.” I screamed at him.In one fluid motion he dropped to the ground. The female was shocked as I sent the metal flying towards her rib cage.This time, it didn’t go through the target. The piece of metal lodged itself between two of her ribs.She howled

In no time Cassar entered the pack village.Wolves lived throughout the whole territory, but the majority of the wolf families lived in the small town. Every pack had one, though Viribus’s town was bigger than others.The village looked like a normal cluster of homes. Though it was designed to give wolves privacy away from prying human eyes.If any wolf needed something they would have to travel to the closest human town for food, schooling, and more. Though every pack had a doctor who specialized in shifters.Cassar neared an old house in the pack village, not far from the pack house. It was well taken care of with white siding and blue shutters.The front door swung open, the wolves inside waiting for our arrival.A male with grey curly hair rushed forward.Cassar knelt down so the doctor could carefully pull me off of his back.His hands were solid, yet gentle. He smelt like disinfectant and evergreen. Signs of a true wolf doctor.The doctor held me up as we walked towards the pack
