Chapter One: The Discovery
Birds chirped happily as the squirrels and rabbits came out to play. The squirrels were playfully fighting over acorns while the rabbits were hopping around. Everything seemed peaceful until they stood upright, twitched their ears and saw a light blue wolf.
Freaking out, they all run away from the scene. The light blue wolf had no interest in hunting, but rather, taking a nice stroll. The wolf’s name was Edward. Edward looked up to the sunny blue sky as he took a deep breath and exhale with such content.
“It’s good to have some peace for once.”, Edward sighed as he smiled.
He continued his trail across the forest’s path when it’s suddenly broken by an unfamiliar sound.
WAH! WAH! WAAAAHHH! WAAAH! WAH!
Edward paused his track as his ears twitched. He turned his head sharply and gasped, “What was that?”
Without missing a beat, the light blue wolf darted as fast as he possibly could while following the distressful cry. He wondered what produced that noise. Was it a baby wolf? It can’t be as he knew that’s not how a baby wolf would sound. A baby bird? It’s possible but that’s one big cry from a tiny bird.
He stopped on the top of the rock nearby as he looked around carefully.
WAH! WAAAAAHHH! WAH! WAAAH!
He looked towards the river nearby and followed the river. The more he travelled, the closer he got to the source of the noise. But before he could go any further, he tripped over something.
Groaning in agony, he slowly got up until he looked down a saw a trail on what appeared to be blood. He gasped as he followed the blood trail and noticed some paw prints that led him to something he would never forget.
He looked down and gasped in horror. There, lay a deceased woman, lying, brutally mutilated as she looked unrecognisable.
“Oh dear Lady.”, Edward whispered.
However, before he could continue to investigate a bloody scene, he heard the familiar noise.
WAH! WAAAAH! WAH! WAAAAAAAAHHH!
Edward lifted his head with his ears perked as the noise was coming from behind the bushes. There, he slowly approached to the bushes until he popped his head from the other side.
What he spotted was a basket. Confused, he slowly walked towards the basket before it began to move violently as the crying noise continued. Edward stopped his track and gasped.
However, he continued to get closer until he sees a pink blanket, covering something that was clearly alive as it was kicking and rolling. Edward tilted his head in confusion before he grabbed the pink blanket with his mouth and removed it.
To his astonishment, he sees a tiny human being.
“It’s a she-human’s baby.”, he gasped in surprise.
However, before he could take any action, the baby stopped crying and rubbed her eyes before looking at the blue wolf. Edward tilted his head with a whining puppy noise as the baby mimicked him.
Curious, he put his muzzle in the basket and sniffed. The baby cooed and giggled before reaching her hands to his muzzle.
Startled by that, he lifted his head and slowly back away as the baby laughed. He was stunned. The infant seems to show no sign of fear. He couldn’t get it. Most human babies would get scared.
He pondered for a moment before he decided to walk away. But when he did so, the baby began to cry again. Edward’s ears folded as he closed his eyes. He couldn’t help but feel guilty to leave her all alone.
He looked back as the baby cried harder. He thought, “The poor dear. She lost her mother, yet we wolves fear humans. Yet, I can’t just leave her to die in the wilderness, and taking her back to any nearby village is NOT an option.”
After battling with his thought, he sighed as he slowly approached the crying infant as he gently licked her tears. The baby looked up, surprised to see him as she cooed and reached her petite hands to his muzzle.
Unlike the first reaction, he stood still and looked into her green eyes. Something was telling him that she was pure and innocent. Something also told him she has a big destiny awaits for her. The infant couldn’t help but giggle.
Slowly but surely, the baby girl win his heart as Edward smiled gently, “You’re now mine.”, he cooed at his ‘pup’, “You will now be raised as a wolf and be a wolf. But… I hope my pack will accept you. You are fragile after all.”
And with that, he picked up the basket with his mouth and carried the baby away. While the basket swayed gently, the baby let out an adorable yawn as she fell asleep. Edward looked down at the sleeping infant and chuckled. However, he looked forward and got worried. Will his pack accept this human baby to be part of the pack?
