The Diva Of The Wolves
Chapter 31

Kemal Petrova

I always dreamed of being free again, I imagined living in a cabin in the woods far from human civilization so I could run around in my wolf form and no one would look at me like I was a freak or some kind of circus attraction. The world is not even close to ready to realize that right under their noses there are beings more powerful than them and humans always fear what they cannot control.

I think a lot about Alfred, I hope they never realize that he helped me escape because otherwise his life would be at risk, I don't want to imagine what my father is capable of. I doubt that he is a man with a heart for everything he did to me since that day when he transformed me for the first time, I sigh to avoid entering into those stormy memories.

The rain falls before my eyes while the entrance to the cave where I am looks like a waterfall, I don't feel cold and although the humidity seeps into the cave it doesn't bother me at all. Being in my wolf form in the forest is something I have been doing for weeks, since the money that Alfred left me has run out and I have no choice but to be a high-class animal in the food chain.

When I hunted my first rabbit and felt its blood in my jaws, I imagined that I would feel very disgusted, but I quite liked the meat and my hunger subsided for a moment. It was difficult to hunt at first, however, after four days I reached an area where I found servants and just one was enough to keep me satisfied.

In my wolf form I feel better and I don't want to go back to my human state again, especially now that there are many like me, I don't want them to see my face and maybe I will be safer this way. In the backpack that Alfred gave me I also found the last location where the clones that escaped were, I think he left it there so I could say goodbye to the woman they were with and who could be my soulmate.

I have the need to go, however, I don't think it is right and it can also put me in danger. I become alert when something approaches the cave where I am, I stand up and growl, but I relax when I see that it is a common wolf.

Her gaze connects with mine and I realize that she is a wolf, I step aside for her to enter and behind her there are small cubs, we have no connection with common wolves, since they are guided more by their instincts, however, we can understand some of her gestures, she is only looking for refuge.

A wolf would request and I a lone wolf, however, she has her cubs and has formed a small pack with her children, I take care to be kind by letting her eat what I have hunted before it started to rain and I lie down again to wait for the rain to pass and make the decision of my new destination.

(...)

The enormous need to know more about the mysterious woman with whom the clones were made me head north towards that town where they were, I hope at least to replace her grave and be able to say goodbye.

Another thing is that tonight I had strange dreams where I saw faceless people, but I have a vague feeling that they are memories and those are not mine, which makes me wonder who these memories belong to.

The trip to Taton was a week, I did not enter the town and I stayed outside it, walking through it in search of any danger, I walked to a lake where I drank its water and my senses did their thing again, I sniffed the air getting a smell of wildflowers and lavender, I turned and lowered my ears, she looked at me curiously and I didn't know what to do.

"Hello," his voice is like a sweet melody that makes my skin crawl. I'm worried that he's not afraid to see such a huge wolf that could hurt him. However, I back away when he gets closer. "Calm down," I growl. and it stops, I started running away from that place with my heart uncontrolled until I found a small cave where my body enters.

I don't understand anything. Who is she? Why did I feel that way? It was a feeling of total vulnerability, those blue eyes connected with my soul and it was as if he had seen inside me.

The night comes and in my mind there is only her face, I can't stop thinking about her and especially her smell, it is so familiar and at the same time so far away, without a doubt I have problems, since that essence is marked in my memory, I sigh in frustration, but a snort comes out of my mouth.

After several attempts to replace out where I know the smell from, I get tired and leave the hiding place, I walk towards a natural pool that I found and look to the sides while with my sense of hearing I listen to everything around me, realizing that I am alone, with Thinking I return to my human form and for a second I observe my reflection in the water.

There is nothing left of the man who escaped from the IGX facilities, it is a strange name, but its meaning is Research of the The transformation.

My face is covered by a thick beard that covers my features and makes me look older than I am, I am barely twenty-nine years old and in a few months I will be turning thirty, I do not have good memories of enjoying a life as an adult and a teenager, I didn't know beyond the white walls of my glass cell.

The skin on my face is dirty with mud, my hair, which is blonde, is dark almost brown, I suppose that walking for so long in my wolf form is not good in the sense of hygiene for my body because physically it has improved my condition and I have seen my muscle mass increase, giving me a better appearance.

I enter the cold water and stay under it for several seconds and then rise to the surface and I have this strange feeling that tells me that I was here before, I warmed this natural pool with my gifts for a person, I do not understand these memories and although I feel that I am the one He lived them, they don't belong to me.
