Book 2 Chapter 4
Daphne’s Point of View
“That is really good Ellie, now try to revive this iris.” I praise the younger pup as she works on her special abilities. It has been a week since my appointment, and since Caleb asked me to take over some of the training that Theo normally does with our unique wolves. Currently I am working with Ellie. Ellie can make
plants grow faster, and healthier. We are working on honing her abilities to revive dead plants now.
Theo and Caleb brought me into the loop about unique wolves after we discovered that I was one myself. Since then, I have worked on honing my own abilities but have also helped Theo with the other wolves. We still have not discovered why our pack has these abilities, and we have
not uncovered any evidence that would suggest that these abilities exist in any
other pack.
We have a few working ideas as to why
our wolves possess these talents, but in
reality, none of our studies have given us
a confirmed answer. Caleb believes that
part of the reason we possess special
talents is due to the location of our pack. Although I must agree that the Blue Mountains are majestic, I do not truly
believe that it is the reason for our skills. Theo has a few theories including one involving a witch, and evolution. I am not confident enough in my theory to present it to them yet, but I wonder if there is not a direct descendant of the Moon Goddess herself within our pack. 3
I ponder this as I watch Ellie straining to concentrate on the iris in the pot before her. “Ellie calm your mind. Remember
that these gifts are remarkable. What do you feel coursing through your body when you are using your gift?” The poor girl had her face scrunched up practically glaring at the dead plant, willing it to
come back to life.
“I do not really know how to explain it.” Ellie shrugs her shoulders just like any other teenage girl. “It does not hurt or anything, but like sometimes I can feel it like coursing through my veins. Not like blood but like a static electricity feeling, and then I can make plants grow.” I sigh with relief as her face finally relaxes as
she is talking about her talents.
“Do you notice that your gift works better when you are calm, or stressed?”
“Usually when I am calm, but the other day I had an accident.” Now Ellie is looking at the floor as if she is afraid that I am going to scold her.
“What kind of accident? Ellie it is ok, I am not going to be mad at you, we just want to help develop your skills to be the best that they can be.” I reassure the teen pup to the best of my ability.
“I was going to class the other day, and Brian bumped into me in the doorway to Mrs. Fritz class, and well her snake plant is now more like a snake bush.” Ellie
laughs a little at the end, but I can still see that she is still nervous.
“I see. So, this Brian fellow, do you like him?” I already had a strong sense that Ellie had a crush on him, but I wanted to ask to make sure.
Ellie’s face flares up, and she turns red all the way to the tips of her ears. “He is really cute Luna, and he is sweet.”
“So then why not ask him out?” Ellie is a
cute girl; I was sure that she would not
have any issues getting a boyfriend.
“Oh, he does not know that I exist. Brian is a senior and I am only a freshman. Plus, I heard Carla telling the stun crew that she is positive that she will be mated to Brian.” Ellie’s face looks so sad as she confesses her problems to me.
“Well guess what, just because someone thinks that they are going to be mated to someone does not mean that they
actually will be mated to that person. As far as the age difference between you and Brian well that does not mean much
either. There are a few years between me and Alpha Caleb and yet we are fated mates. I do have to ask though, what in the world is a stun crew?” I was hoping that my pep talk would cheer Ellie up a little, and I did see her smile.
“That’s what we call Carla and her
