I turned around to see sam's fox form rushing at me, when he finally reached me I looked into the same deep brown eyes and felt weak... He was my mate, we stared at each other for a moment before san nipped at my ear and licked my nose, doing this was letting the pack know I was his mate. Before long the pack had shifted and began a chorus of howling, I was more then excited to join in, my howl started off at a high pitch the began to lower into a eerie pitch, when it ended I never actually reached the lowest pitch. I looked over at sam again my tail began to wag, 'y-you're my mate!' I mind linked sam as he looked over in my direction 'i always was, I just felt the strong pull tonight I was waiting until you shifted... I wanted you to feel the connection too' sam responded I felt light as air, the one I have been praying for is finally mine. I heard a low growl somewhere in the crowd as I tried to figure out who it was, then another from behind me in the distance, I quickly turned to see bright yellow eyes lock onto my gaze then disappear, my wolf begged me to leap forward, so I did. I could hear sam give orders for the pack to follow me though mind link, I was carefully dodging sticks and trees bursting through bushes until I felt another presence. I stopped and stood in a small circle of bushes, looking around until I was suddenly shoved hard onto my side, sharp searing fangs gripped my neck fur and back paws I was being dragged, suddenly sam leaped over the bushes landing in front of me, snarling the deepest I had ever heard, Orange fur spiked and fangs bared which was a rare occasion I could feel sam's anger as he began to shake. I began to use my front paws to grip the earth and pull forward, The fangs were ripped away from my neck, my fur being torn with it. scarlet appeared out of the corner of My eye, she was standing over a large black wolf snarling they began to get in a fight as I let warm liquid pour over my neck and the smell of blood fill the air, I began to kick my back paws freeing one of them and I jabbed it into my attackers nose earning a whimper as a rustle of leaves indicating they ran away while Sam chased them. Scarelt snorted, her opponent must have gotten away too. The last thing I saw was Sam coming towards me and licking my neck wound then I blacked out.
