A Different Shape
Preface—A Chance Encounter
Chad's POV
I sensed that the pride were unnerved by this overwhelming scent that had arrived. Relax, I told them, it's just a wolf. No need to turn tail like little pussycats.
That cannot be just one wolf, one of the others said. Tom, I thought.
We stand our ground. If need be, we fight.
I'm going to have to overrule you on that one. Jamie, the Alpha. He had appointed me his Beta because of my tactical abilities, but I was by no means a leader, and I deferred. As the wolf came closer, I saw why I'd been overruled. That thing was huge! Lest you take that for granted, take a good look at me, and at the claws and teeth that could rip you apart. We're kind of large for our "species", too. We ran off, but as we did, I couldn't help but think that there was another, even stranger scent…
CCX: Hi. Yeah, I'm not really sure how this is going to work out...I'm going to give this a shot. I'm really insecure about this type of thing. Read and review if you want to boost my confidence! ...Wait, did I just pull the old "reviews will make me write faster" trick? Damnit, I hate when people do that! Still not even sure what to rate this, either...I usually go high just to be safe, so we'll put "T" even though I might be able to get away with K+.
