Bright sunlight pierces through my closed eyelids, waking me from the most pleasant sleep I've ever had. Memories of last night come flooding back and I wish I can relive those memories over and over again. At one point it had all been too much and I had broke down crying. I had fallen to my knees and just sobbed tears of joy. Cheza had comforted me, as best as a flower can, and then we continued on.

I finally open my eyes to see the pack sleeping around Cheza. Tsume is next to me, looking pretty relaxed in his sleep. I smile and kiss his cheek before getting up and lethargically walking over to the lake. I was surprised to see Blue already there. I thought she was with the rest of the pack. Guess not.

"Morning." Blue greeted.

I sat down next to her, staring at the lake's mirror surface. "Good morning." I replied.

"So, how'd you like your first full moon with Cheza?"

I grinned. "It was amazing, and breathtaking, and...I can't describe it."

Blue laughed a little. "I know how you feel. I felt the same way my first full moon."

She acted like she had recently found the pack too. Like she only just recently had her first full moon. "How'd you find the pack?"

Blue gave a chuckle and shook her head. "I was hunting them." My eyes go wide and I'm shocked. Hunting them? Why on earth would she hunt them? "I was raised with humans too. But wolves killed my owner's family, so we started to hunt them. I didn't know I was half wolf until I met Cheza. I got attached to the pack, especially Hige." She smiled when she says his name. "I couldn't let my owner hurt them, so I just ran away with them."

I smile. Another one raised by humans. "We're kind of in the same boat, you and I."

She smiles. "Yeah, we are. But don't worry, the pack will go easy on you until you learn the ropes."

I laugh a little. "I don't need easy, I just want them to teach me."

"Trust me, being a wolf isn't something you can be taught. They can give you tips and advice, but they can't teach you. It's something you have to learn on your own. But speaking of tips, here's one: listen to your instincts. Your brain just complicates things."

I nod. "Okay, I'll remember that. Thanks."

"Anytime. Listen, I don't know if this is crossing the line, but are you and Tsume...you know, together?"

I smile and look over my shoulder at Tsume. "I don't know. I mean, I guess he likes me, and I like him, but I don't know."

"Hm. Well, I'm glad you came along. It's good to have another girl around here. And besides, you bring out a side of Tsume none of us have ever seen before."

"What do you mean?"

"He acts all tough and uncaring, like the cool guy who doesn't have a care in the world. That's how he's always been. He had to act like that when he was running the gangs, and it's just how he is. But since you've came along, he's been happy. And nicer."

I smile and look down at my hands. Wow, I never knew I could have such an effect on people. Especially a guy like Tsume. It makes me feel special, and important, and I actually started to blush. One by one, the rest of the pack starts to wake up, and you want to know the first thing Toboe and Hige say? I'll give you three guesses. "I'm hungry!", "I'm hungry!", or "I'm hungry!"

"You're always hungry, Porky." Tsume snaps, yawning.

We all laugh and I shook my head. "If we travel east there should be another city. We can get there by lunch if we leave soon."

"Lunch time? That's hours away! I'm hungry now." Hige exclaimed. He wanted us to hunt again, but I wasn't in the mood right now, and neither was Kiba or Tsume. So, we traveled.
