Chapter One

She awoke to a horrid nightmare. She then looked around for her family, but figured that they were out hunting. She then walked back to her bedroom and studied the sign on the door. It read, 'Jazabell', with a small heart on each end. Jazabell smiled softly with a small sigh of relief. Jazabell softly jumped out of her window and phased, while she was still in the air. She landed on the ground, without a sound, in wolf form. Her fur was all black, except for a blue crescent around her right eye and a blue streak down her muzzle. Her eyes were also both, different colors. Her right eye was blue, as for her left eye was violet. Her eyes lit up with a passionate fury as she began to run through the woods that surrounded her home. She lunged over fallen trees and dodged other trees, like a bullet. Jazabell closed her eyes and let out a small huff of happiness, for a brief second, until she rain into something. She fell back, but caught herself before she hit the ground. Jazabell steadied herself and opened her eyes. "Jazzy! Watch where your going, dammit!" The deep voice said. "Sorry... I got too much of a thrill, with running and all..." Jazabell said as she let her voice trail off. She shook her head, then soon realized who it was. "Zane!" She chimed out as she nuzzled his muzzle against hers. "Man, I'll never miss that Jaz." He said as he smiled his old wolfy grin. Jaz smiled back and looked at him.

"It's been so long..." She spoke softly, letting her voice trail off again. "Yes... It has been..." Zane said as he also let his voice trail off. Jaz nodded as they walked side by side, through the woods. Zane and Jazabell grew up together. They were best friends until Zane got caught up in a bad crowd. Not much longer after that, he hurt Jazabell, both physically and emotionally. It practically scarred her for her whole life. "So, how have you been?" He asked her curiously. She sighed. "What's it matter to you?" Jaz asked firmly, yet curiously. She then looked over at him through the corner of her eyes. "Jaz, I'm sorry..." He said as he stopped and looked at her, wanting her to realize that he truly was sorry, for what he did to her so many years ago. A tear fell from Jazabell's eye. "You really hurt me though, Zane." She said softly and looked back at him, as he wiped her tear away with his muzzle. "I know Jaz, but I really am sorry." He spoke softly, yet firmly, but his voice was filled with the truth. He just hoped that Jazabell would forgive him. She started to walk again. He followed her slowly, keeping his distance, and giving her enough space to think. "My father's coming." She said softly as she phased back into her pajamas. "I don't really care, Jaz." He spoke firmly and phased back into his skinny's.

Jaz looked at his body, it was built perfectly, yet it had a large scar across his chest. "Zane! What happened to you?" She yelled out in a protective, curiosity, as she put her hand on the scar. "Nothing..." He replied, removing her hand, and letting it drop to her side. Jazabell clenched her hand in a fist a little bit. She slowly unclenched it and softly ran the back of her hand against Zane's. Her hand slowly intertwined with his. She then slowly turned to him and smiled as she leaned up to kiss him. Jazabell's eyes slowly closed at the touch of their lips, which sent warmth though out both of there bodies. Zane automatically knew, that they would be mates for life.
