Chapter one: Scared Furless

Love Comes with a Howl

I stop, raise my snout, and sniff. Wolf. My predator. I back up in to a small cubby in a hallow of an Oak tree. I curl my tail over my nose. I hear the paws hitting the ground. I move my eyes to look up, only to see a horse sized wolf right next to my hollow. I raise my head. He is a rusty brown color.

When I finally realized I was staring he turned to stair right back at me. I ducked my head back down. His eyes are like a bowl of melted milk chocolate.

I held my breath when he seen me. My heart skipped a beat. I heard a howl in the nearby woods, and when he turned his head to look, I bolted right under him and headed toward my den.

My full name is Roxlyn Kit Cheyenne. I am three- fourths Indiana (Cheyenne, Cherokee, and black foot), one-eighth French, and one-eighth German. My tribe kicked me out when they found that I got my French and German from my grandfather.

Then, after they did that they found out that I changed in to a fox kit since I was eight. Turning into a fox means you have been blessed very greatly. They tried to keep my confined. They kept me in a cage the whole time. I finally escaped and came here. I started to live like a typical fox when I saw lost posters with my face on them.

I was getting close to my den when the same wolf stopped in front of me. I tried to stop before running into him, but I failed miserably. I skidded right into his left front paw.

I know I am small to original wolves, but come on! I am like a pup to this thing. I laid my ears back, tucked my tail, groveled low to the ground, and started to back away while whimpering.

He growled. I don't understand why he followed me and now growling at me. I went submissive, I ran away, I didn't threaten him, and I just wanted to go home.

He stalked closer. I closed my eyes and tried to think of a happy place.

I mean, what did I ever do to deserve this? I felt a hand petting me.

'What the hell?' I thought.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Relax." This man talked softly to me.

Wait, a man? This isn't right! There was a wolf in front of me ready to eat me then there was a man.

I knew there were werewolves in the world, but not gigantic ones!

He went to grab me and I snapped at him. He was about to grab me again and I ran toward my den once again.

He grabbed me by the ruff. I panicked! Then there was black….
