Today with Daphne could not have gone better. Surprisingly even with our afternoon romp! learned a lot of new information about my mate. For years I have coveted a love like that of which my parents had. I feel like Ican

eventually have that kind of relationship with Daphne. It gives me hope for a great future. I can vision us growing old together and watching our grandchildren run around the yard one day. Walking into the house, Theo is already waiting for me to give me the report. I know that nothing is wrong because if there was a crisis, he would have mind linked me to come home immediately. Daphne heads into the kitchen to make some dinner and I have news to tell Theo as well. Since Daphne has finally committed to a time frame for the mating ceremony there is a lot of things that I must get prepared beforehand. ~

“I have some interesting news to share with you.” I can tell by the way Theo is cocking his head to the side that I will like the news he has to share with me. I nod at him to continue. I want to have his full attention when I let him know about the ceremony. “We have three pups in the young training class that are showing peculiar talents. If you add those three, with the two that we have in the junior class than it appears that our offspring are showing evolutionary growth.”

I understand fully what Theo means when he says that we have some pups with peculiar talents. I noticed a few years back that certain werewolves have additional talents outside of being a shifter. Hannah is one of our wolves with a peculiar talent, she can instantly calm and mostly heal any injured animal. One of my elite soldier Brandon can summon fire in the palm of his hand. There is a wolf in our junior academy that can revive dead plants or make living plants bloom faster than they should be able to. 7

Neither I nor Theo have heard of any other packs having members with peculiar talents. We have been trying to figure out why it seems that our pack members are producing offspring like this. One theory we have is that it is an evolutionary thing, simply our genes evolving. Another theory we have produced is that it has something to do with the location of our land, although we have taken several soil tests and have not come up with anything strange or unusual. Hannah theorized that it was the work of a witch that has blessed our pack. No matter what the cause behind it is, we love having wolves with peculiar talents among us. In fact, Theo helps cultivate their talents, working with specialists in every field to develop lesson plans and training that will help promote and possibly grow these talents. °

“Theo are you sure that there are three new ones, and in the younger class at that?” Ican not help but be skeptical. With the wolves we have discovered in the past, they were all above puberty and had already gone through with their first shift. Our younger class pups are between five and nine years old, too young to have gone through with their first shift.

“Yes, Caleb I am positive about two of them at least, I have a strong suspicion of the third. I did not know if I should mention it, but we may also have a fourth, and I have been detecting a fifth.” Theo’s

words absolutely floor me, and my mind is spinning in circles. I long ago theorized that Theo himself is one of our talented wolves, he is the main one that has discovered our other talented wolves sometimes before they even discover themselves.

“Well do not make me wait any longer, what new talents are showing up?” 1 am excited for my pack this is an amazing opportunity.

“Let me start with Lily, age six and she is confirmed, I found her levitating outside of the training grounds when she was late for class. Then we have the other confirmation as Orion age eight who can control water, and I am hoping eventually to be able to conjure water. I have a strong suspicion about Carolyn, age seven being able to see visions, or perhaps the spirit world. Iam unsure yet what exactly is going on with her, but she trusts me and draws what she calls dreams. The fourth that I have a suspicion about is Anita in the junior class, age sixteen, already shifted. I believe that she has a gift of granting fertility. I noticed that most of the women she has visited with that has expressed a desire for children, are suddenly with child.” Theo takes a deep breath and I can tell that he is worried about telling me about the last person he suspects.

“This is great news, who is the fifth person that you are thinking might be talented?”

“Caleb, ever since we have known Daphne, I have felt something. I still can not say for sure, but I think that your mate has a hidden talent. Unfortunately, she has not lived a normal life, so I have been observing her. I still do not know what or even if she has a peculiar talent, but my gut is telling me that

she does.” I can understand now why Theo was hesitant to tell me this. Since Daphne is my mate, she will be with me when I attend functions involving other packs. To this point we have been able to maintain secrecy about our peculiar wolves, but if Daphne does have a hidden talent who knows when it will present itself. * “Just like with everyone else we will figure it out as we go. I understand the danger that she could be in, but I think that everything will turn out just fine.

Speaking of Daphne, we have finally set a date for the mating ceremony. This weekend is a new moon, and a great time for new beginnings. I will need your help contacting our allies, neighboring packs, and friends. I am going to ask Hannah to help with the

planning.” I am overjoyed that finally my mate and I will be joined in front of our community. '

“Congratulations my friend, I know that for amoment you were worried if she would eventually reject you. I will gladly help with all the preparations.” Theo claps me on the back. I am a very blessed man to be able to call him friend, he is the closest I will ever have to a brother.

“I actually have a very special mission for you if you are up to it. Daphne does not want to invite any of her old pack to the ceremony; however, she has an older sister that is mated to someone in one of the California coasts packs. I know that it is short timing and not a lot of information, but it would please her greatly if she were here. The only other information that I know is the sister's name is Scarlet.” I know that l am asking Theo to do the impossible, but if anyone can get it done, he can.

“I have a few contacts with various coastal packs, and I do still have an informant in the Silver Moon pack. I briefly remember a few details about Scarlet that I picked up while we were there for the Mabon ball. Scarlet would be about thirty years old and judging from photos she is a red head like her mother. With all this information I am positive that I can find her.” Theo pauses and I watch his face shift into a frown. “Caleb, you do realize that there is a possibility that she may not want to come. I assume it has been a few years since they have talked to each other.” Theo’s words make me pause. I had never considered that Daphne’s sister would not want to see her. I could not fathom a world that siblings are not close. I could not imagine being distant from Theo and we do not even share blood. »

“If that is the case, then I will simply let Daphne know that her sister is unable to attend the ceremony. She does not need to be hurt anymore than she already has been. I also want to ensure that Alpha Jerome and his Luna get an invitation. Daphne mentioned that they had been kind to her when she was younger. I think he would attend for him.” Theo nods at my words and I know that it will be done. °

Too soon Daphne is poking her head out of the kitchen letting me know that dinner is done. Theo has given me a lotto think about, and most of it is great news. Walking in the kitchen I eye my mate. Could Theo be right? Does my mate have a peculiar talent? I guess only time will tell.
