I backed up slowly, not wanting the she 늑대 to feel threatened and attack. “Nice wolf, I'm not going to hurt you.” I got up off the ground with my hands out, facing the wolf. She had white 모피 with a small gray 별, 스타 on her chest. Climbing off the small 언덕, 힐 she had been standing on, she began walking towards me. I stood still. If I ran, she would pin me down and attack; and if I stood here there was no telling what she might do. “Please don't kill me. I didn't want to be brought here.” She was circling me and sniffing. Suddenly, she stopped. “I can smell his blood.” Her voice was soft, but had a sharp edge to it. “Blood? Who's blood?”
“His. My mate, 당신 know Brett.” She was looking at me like I had 로스트 my marbles. “I left him at your place the night of the ambush.”
“Right, so you're his mate. It's nice to meet you.” I told her. She was now sitting in front of me. “It's nice to meet 당신 too. I'm Dalla. One of the few female shape shifters known about.”
“What do 당신 mean? There are only a few females in your pack?” I was surprised.
“Ya, there's me, Brett's mate, Altar's mate is Piper and Thaddeus has Emmaline. Other then the pups, those are all the females.”
“That's it?”
“Yep. Well I guess 당신 could count y-”
“Dalla! I 'ope 당신 weren't just yappin' to 'er about the lack o' females.” It was a big, burly looking she 늑대 coming over the hill. “No Piper. I was just-”
“Save it. I don't wana 'ear 'bout yer problems. Plus, 당신 know what Rowan and 'eidi would say 'bout 당신 flappin' yer trap 'bout 'er.” Piper nodded her head at me which seemed kind of rude, seeing as how I could hear everything she was saying.
“Sorry Piper, it's just that well I wanted her to fit in.” Dalla had her tail between her legs, and she was looking at the ground. I felt sorry for her, this other wolf, Piper, was pushing her around like she was a weakling. “Hey Dalla, it's alright. Not many people go to this much trouble to make me feel at home.” I walked over to her and knelt down. “How about 당신 show me around.” She perked up, before glancing over at Piper.
“Ok. Let's start with the pond.”
“Sounds good.” I forgot all my worries as I followed Dalla through a patch of bushes and between two trees, leaving Piper in the small clearing I had woken up in.
Dalla lead me to a beautiful pond with a small waterfall and lots of trees surrounding it. “It's beautiful.” I stared in awe. Dalla giggled and lead me down a sandy path that circled the west side of the crystal clear water. “Well, this is the pond where the pack usually hangs out when there's no business to take care of.”
“Business? What kind of business?”
“You know, who the alphas will be, who gets to be a hunter. That sort of stuff.” I knew she wanted to say more, but she looked away, so I didn't push. “I was just going to ask her where the rest of the pack was, when I saw a familiar looking gray 늑대 padding down the 언덕, 힐 on the opposite side of the pond. Dalla noticed him too. “Thaddeus! Over here! Thaddeus!” Dalla was shouting to him, trying to get his attention. It worked. He looked up and started walking in our direction. “Julie, it is good to see 당신 again.” he nodded at me in a respectful way. “Dalla, the alphas would like to speak with 당신 on the matter at hand. They are in the clearing in the north.” Dalla said goodbye to me before running off to the clearing. I turned to Thaddeus. “You all seem busy, maybe 당신 should take me back to my home.” The truth was, I was getting kind of homesick.
“I suppose that would be the safest place for 당신 right now.” He turned back the way I had come. “Follow me.”
“His. My mate, 당신 know Brett.” She was looking at me like I had 로스트 my marbles. “I left him at your place the night of the ambush.”
“Right, so you're his mate. It's nice to meet you.” I told her. She was now sitting in front of me. “It's nice to meet 당신 too. I'm Dalla. One of the few female shape shifters known about.”

Ya tell me,
Don't dance, don't dance,
Just stay inside and never go out
And scold me
All 일 long, all 일 long
What makes 당신 think you're so damn awesome?
Don't ya know we have a life too, too?
We'd be sittin in watching TV
And I don't think 당신 want that either
So what the heck can we do?
We're not just mindless robots with nothing else to do
We don't have time for homework
We just wanna have fun, fun, fun
We have a life, no time for homework
We can go ahead and play flag football
But I'm not goin inside
Why do 당신 act like
There's nothin else better than
Doin homework all night long
I bet 당신 never liked that when 당신 were young
We've been playin outside
Now it's time to kick in and relax
No 더 많이 time for homework, just sit back and do the things I 사랑 to do
Cuz I gotta enjoy my life when I'm young.
Don't dance, don't dance,
