Corrupted Redemption

"Silas put that down young man. Drop it!" Silas' wolf slowly drops the barn mouse and it scurries away. It has been four years since I ran from my pack. I missed them but the fear of being caught or the pups being hurt kept me here...where it's safe. My Aunt Laila told me a spell to help the twins shift back, not long after the we're born. I had panicked.

One week, then two. They were still these little black fuzz balls. So I went out one night at dark and called my aunt through a locator spell she'd taught me. She popped up the next day happy I was ok and in awe of the pups.

The spell worked but now they can shift at will. Which this tired momma wishes they wouldn't so often. "Please shift and go wash up. I'll start on lunch. Liza that means you too." Chocolate eyes peak at me from a stale and she giggles. "Ok momma." With that they both run to the sink.

I go over to the brick stove I've built and lit the dry logs inside. It was small but it kept us warm and fed. I look at our food supply and see it running low. I'll have to make a trip into town for a few things. A few years ago Aunt laila gave me a card set up directly to my inheritance. I didn't understand how but she told me not to worry and need it as I seen fit.

She had begged me to go home at first and then to buy an actual home for the twins and I. But i knew that would lead them straight to us. She told me Father was dead but no one spoke on Harris. That was enough to keep me right here.

I fed the twins and laid them down for a nap. They know not to come out from the loft unless I use our secret whistle code. And to bar the door until I return. No one has come out here since those teens. I can't imagine what stories they told.

Once in town. I made my rounds to the grocery store and a thift store for some clothes. The twins were growing out of everything. As I left the store I caught a smell. One I'd know anywhere. Ana! I know she'd tell my brother and he'd try to bring me back. I can't do that until it's safe. Until harris is gone too.

I run through the woods toward the barn. When I arrive I knock three times and whistle our tune. Silas opens the door slowly looking around before he smiles at me. He's such a little Alpha. I walk in and replace the door block. Releasing a breathe I didn't realize I was holding.

"Ok go wash up while I put this away. How does srone pizza sound for dinner?" The twins clap and jump up and down before they run off to wash. "That was close Lilly." When she doesnt reply I just shrug and start putting the bags of stuff away.

I look at the twins as they splash in the sink. Laughing and getting each other wet. They remind me so much of Jara and I. I truly do miss my family, my pack. I tell the twins stories of their warrior uncles, amazing aunt Ana and the brave beauty Ilad.

One day we will go home... hopefully soon. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
