Sam POV
My first thought when I saw Breanna, or Bre as she corrected me, was that she was TINY. Seth is the smallest in the pack and he's at least a foot taller than her. After introductions and explaining why I'm here, she made herself comfortable and looked to me and Seth waiting for us to start. I decided on just telling her about us being wolves and imprinting, she'd learn about the rest later tonight at the bonfire.
"Ok to start off the explanations, I'm going to summarize the most important, as well as the most well known legend of our people. Your mom grew up on the rez so she's probably told them to you at least once." She nodded, "Yeah I remember mom telling me something about wolves" I smiled. "That's exactly what I'm getting at here. Legend says that our ancestor's spirit warriors borrowed the forms of wolves, and that in times of need the protectors of the tribe gain the ability to transform into wolves. We all grew up thinking that these were just stories, but we were wrong. The legend is true, some of us are shape-shifters that turn into wolves."
I watched her face gauging her reaction; she seemed to be taking it really well. She motioned for Seth to move closer to her, he leaned over so that she could whisper in his ear. What she did next neither of us were expecting; she raised her hand and patted Seth on the head and cooed "good doggy" before she bust out in a fit of giggles. I laughed along with her for two reasons; one, Seth's face was absolutely priceless, and two, her laugh was contagious, I couldn't help but laugh with her. Once she'd calmed down I asked her; "so do you understand what I just told you?" She nodded through her now silent giggles, "yeah I understand. You guys are wolves, and from earlier when Seth said 'group' that means that there's more than just the two of you. But I'd like a demonstration, Seth would you please?" She answered, sending Seth the puppy dog look, which unbeknownst to her, he can't refuse. If she accepts the imprint pack life will definitely become livelier with her around. I nodded to Seth telling him to go change in the woods.
As he jogged away Bre looked at me in confused, though there also seemed to be some pain from the separation in her eyes as well. Maybe she was already feeling the pull of the imprint, which is strange this early on but a good thing for Seth because she'd most likely accept the imprint sooner. I should probably tell her why Seth had to leave, she looks hurt. "The reason Seth had to leave to transform is that when we change, our clothes don't change with us. So to save his clothes he went to change in the woods, he should be back in a minute." I watched her face as it lit up when I said that he'd be back soon. She's most definitely feeling the pull.
Breanna POV
I watched as Seth jogged away, it felt like a piece of me was leaving with him and it really hurt. I looked at Sam in confusion, wondering why he sent Seth away. He must've seen my confusion and quite possibly the pain as well because he quickly explained. He told me that their clothes don't change with them and to save Seth's clothes he sent him into the woods. I got really excited when he told me that Seth would be back soon, I just don't know why I feel so strongly for Seth when I've just met him.
A few seconds later I heard a rustling behind me and turned around to see something that took my breath away. Standing there was a giant wolf, probably about the size of a small horse. He was gorgeous; the blends of crème, brown, grayish-silver and white were absolutely stunning. I took a few small steps forward while raising my arm; I really wanted to feel his fur. I was a little over a foot away when I stopped with my arm outstretched toward him. I whispered "Seth" and he quickly stepped forward and nuzzled his head into my palm.
He was so freaking soft! I slowly ran my hand through the fur around his neck; it was really soft and warm. I jumped a little bit when felt and heard a deep rumbling coming from Seth. I quickly turned to Sam, scared that I'd done something wrong. He laughed and shook his head, "don't worry Bre he's not growling; that's more like a purr, he's just really happy is all." I smiled, so this makes him happy huh? I moved back to stand in front of his head, I started scratching under his chin. When his leg started to thump on the ground I decided to tease him a little bit. I put on a baby voice and cooed, who's a good doggy? who's a good doggie?"
Seth went down in a crouch, I knew he was playing because his tail was still wagging and for some reason I knew he would never really hurt me. A small growl was building in his throat, and then he pounced and tackled me to the ground. I squealed and then started giggling while smacking him when he started to lick my face. After a couple minutes Sam finally decided to step in and told Seth to go change back. Seth got off of me and whined, I understood how he felt. I looked to Sam and said "Awww why? We're having so much fun, well except for all the doggie drool" I shot Seth a look and stuck my tongue out at let out a wolfish chuckle which caused me to giggle. Sam then answered me with a grin. "Well as much as I'd like to let you two continue, Seth called me down here to explain the legend of the wolves to you, and then be here for moral support for the legend only he can explain to you. Which he can't do in wolf form." I nodded in understanding and Seth did the same with his big wolfy head, his ears flopping as he did so which again caused me to laugh.
Once again I watched again as Seth jogged away, though it was more of a trot this time, but this time for some reason it hurt even more to watch him go. I was really curious as to what the legend was that he was going to tell me, my mom had told me all of them but that was years ago. Before I could even sit back down Seth was running back towards us with a nervous look on his face. He nodded to Sam and motioned for me to sit down, once I had he followed suit and sat down next to me and took my hands in his. This must be more serious than I thought.
