Burning Desire

“Child, I know I taught you to cook, but I never taught you this well! Damn this gravy is delicious!” Mauve said to me.

“I can’t explain it, I just go with my gut when I cook or bake.” I say to her.

“Well that, child is natural talent. Are you sure you want to be a teacher? Honey you got a real talent here.” Mauve told me.

“I always had this desire to teach. Cooking and baking has always just been a stress relief, something fun for me.” I tell Mauve.

“You know child, sometimes we choose our own lives, but sometimes life will choose us. What is fun can be the best choice you can do in life.” Mauve tells me.

“Well, let’s get real, if Luna even knew I was the one making the dishes, she throw a fit. I’m having a hard time just getting her to agree to letting me go to the college to be a teacher when the time is right, there is no way she allow me some type of culinary program.

Sometimes I think the Luna just wishes I stay a slave to her.” I answered.

“Yeah, well don’t let anyone else hear you say that out loud, but I have to agree with you. She is harsh with you more then others. I know it would be her fury if she finds out wasn’t me making these dishes! So get cleaned up and get ready to serve these dishes.” Mauve says.

I ran over to the omega showers and quickly wiped my face and washed my hands to erase the signs I was cooking up a storm. I ran back into the kitchen, grabbing a tray of plates to serve to the pack.

I went up to the Alpha’s table, bowed my head and Alpha gave the ok to her to start placing the dishes.

“This smells heavenly.” The Alpha commented as I sat his plate down in front of him.

“I gave Mauve creative control for the meals so we can come up with a nice menu for Jace’s party.” The Luna explained.

“Well, I vote for this roast beef. It tastes amazing.” Jace said as he ate his dinner.

“I agree, whatever has gotten into Mauve lately with the meals she been making, I hope it continues. She always been a good cook, but these last few dishes have been phenomenal.” The alpha said.

I smiled as I went back into the kitchen. I looked to Mauve and gave a thumbs up.

After everyone was done eating. I cleaned the dining area and washed all the dishes. I decided to let Star, my wolf out for a run.

There was a secret spot I discovered awhile ago that I was sure that no one knew about. I never heard anyone talk about the area in the pack, plus the few times I have gone there, no one ever seem to be there.

It was this hidden pond with a single stream waterfall. It wasn’t magnificent like most waterfalls, in fact this waterfall was more like a trickle. But still it had a nice peace that surrounded it, especially under the moonlight.

I looked around to make sure I wasn’t being followed. Then quickly took off in the woods towards my secret spot to let Star run.

I was in my room but something was bothering me. I had a weirdness within myself and wasn’t sure why. I thought maybe my wolf, Thunder needed to be let out.

I went outside when I could smell something slightly tropical in the air. Smelled like a plumeria flower. But was only slightly that I could smell this scent.

I decided to follow the scent to see where it was coming from. I quickly took my clothes off and shifted into Thunder.

Slowly Thunder prowled, hunting down the scent till he made his way to a part of the woods he had never been in before.

“Where are we Thunder?” I asked Thunder.

“We are still on Pack territory, but we in an area not settled.” Thunder said.

“I wonder why?” I said.

“There feels like a strong magic is here. Like this is a blessed area.” Thunder replied.

“Interesting, wait who is that? Is that a fox?” I asked Thunder.

A small silver like creature was seen just running around chasing what looked like a firefly. She looked really cute, she was lost in her own world.

“No, that’s not a fox, that is a wolf. Just a very small wolf. She is cute though.” Thunder replied.

I realized that the plumeria scent I smelled belonged to this little silver fox. I sat there and watched the fox wolf play for what seemed like an hour.

“Who is this wolf” I asked Thunder. “I don’t ever recall seeing her ever in any pack run.”

“She isn’t a rouge or a lone wolf passing through because the little silver wolf has the pack smell on them.” Thunder replied.

I was getting ready to go over to the little wolf to see who she was, when she suddenly just took off and left the area.

“Did she sense us?” I asked Thunder.

“I don’t think so.” Thunder told me.

“Who are you my mystery girl?” I questioned.
