Everett's POV
I look through the turn out list and see Purgatory and Rhydian are next. Purgatory is a new horse I got as a gift from my aunt and uncle in Ireland. She's an Irish sport horse, I'm not quite sure what I'll do with her yet. I'm still figuring out who she gets along with well. I'm hoping these two will work out. I grab Rhydian first and take him out then I bring Purgatory. I normally take my horses out at the same time but I don't know how well these two get along yet. After I put Purgatory away I walked into the house to do some homework, after all, I am a high school student. After like 15 minutes of studying I decide I need a break and head out to check on the horses. Right as I do so I see Purgatory jump over the fence. Luckily I was gonna ride out to check the cattle so I already had a couple of horses tacked up thanks to my dad.
"DAD!!" I yelled after the insane jump. The fences are about 4-5 feet high.

"What?" He sighed.

"Purgatory jumped the fence!!" I exclaimed running to the horses - Harley and Spartan- and quickly mount Harley. "I have a rope, but grab your gun please" I call out right before riding off after my runaway horse.

I quickly hear galloping hoofs behind me, my dad and Spartan. We hear a frightened whinny from, I assume, Purgatory. We quickly follow the noise and see her near a wolf. I pull out my rope and quickly lasso her while my dad grabs his gun and shoots after I secured the mare.

"Dad take Tory back with you. I'm gonna grab the wolf. He's huge though so I'll have to drag him. I'll meet you back at the house." I think I know what I'm going to do with that horse now. She's a true jumper.

"Sounds good. Be careful though. You have your knife?" He asked concerned. My dad is very protective. I rarely get to go on rides alone. If he isn't with me, one of my brothers is. After all, I'm the only girl in a house of 5 men. My mom passed away about a month ago. Purgatory was an "I'm sorry for your loss" gift.

"Always. And dad, you can stop treating me like a baby." I laughed.

"You'll always be my baby girl. I'll see you back at the house." He said while turning to leave. I quickly dismount Harley and tie her to a tree. I slowly walk over to the wolf and kneel next to him. My dad shot his left flank. He should be okay, dad luckily wasn't trying to kill him. Simply immobilize him. My dad is a really good shot. Only misses when he wants to.

I'm quickly pulled out of my thoughts when I feel sparks and something wet and warm sweep across my hand. I look up and see the wolf licking me. I automatically know he won't hurt me. The simple lick made me feel so safe. I start to pet his soft fur. I don't know what's come across me. This is a wild animal. But I can't help it, I have this need burning inside me to touch him.
This wolf is beautiful. He's twice the size of an average wolf. We don't have wolves round here very often so it's a shock especially considering his traits. Black wolves aren't common, but here I am staring at one. He's got jet black fur, insane silver gray eyes, and his paws are as big as my hand. He's gotta be a couple hundred pounds. I take off my flannel so I'm only in a tank top and tie it tightly around his waist to slow the bleeding. As I did so I felt the sparks again. That's weird. Maybe static electricity?
"You stay here big boy. I'll be right back." I need to get a sled to pull him on.
I quickly untie Harley and mount her. We gallop home and I grab the sled and quickly attach it to Har and head back out. I go to where the wolf was but don't see him anywhere. Just some blood. Damn it. That was one of my favorite flannels. He couldn't have gotten far though with a wound like that. I start looking around but no luck. I was just about to look further when my phone starts ringing.

Oliver. One of my brothers. He's the third oldest.
"Yeah?" I say picking it up.
"Where are you? Dinner is almost ready." He informs me, concern lacing his voice.
"Shit. Sorry, I'm on my way."
"Okay, please hurry, but be safe. Love you sis"
"Love you too big bro" I say hanging up.
I mount Harley and take off towards home.

I can't take my mind off that wolf. I hope he's okay.

Aiden's POV
I was out for a run when I heard a horse running. I followed the sound and found a beautiful horse. Too fancy and clean to be wild. I mean there is a herd around here but this definitely isn't one of them. I must've scared it cuz it whinnied. I heard two sets of galloping hoofs and voices. A man and a girl. They were talking about the horse. The girls voice is beautiful. I could listen to her all day. I should probably get out of here though.

I looked up before I went to turn away and saw the approaching people. Too late. Wow. She's gorgeous. She has beautiful brown hair flowing down her back ending about five inches above her ass. She has the most beautiful eyes. A mix of blue and green with a deeper blue green ring around the iris. I shook my head and came out of my trance.
The Angel lassoed the runaway horse and I see the man-I'm assuming her dad-pull a gun. Fuck. This isn't gonna end well. I hear a loud boom and pain shoots through my left side. I let out a yelp of shock and pain and immediately fell down seeing stars.
"Dad" the angelic voice spoke. She said something about taking 'Tory' home. She said she'd meet him there after. He asked if she had her knife, she said always. Good. I'm glad she stays safe. I stopped paying attention and just stared at the beautiful girl in front of me. The man and two horses left and the girl got of her horse. She was staring at me, zoning out. I knew she felt the mate bond. I decided to start licking her hand to have her feel the sparks. She looked up at me slightly shocked and started petting me. Oh I could lay here all day. She stopped though and took off her flannel and exposed more of her. She's absolutely stunning. She wrapped it around my waist just above my gunshot wound. Right. Forgot about that. Right on cue a painful ache spread through my side. It'll heal soon. I'll need to get to my pack doctor if I want to get the bullet out before it's too late. The angel spoke again. "You stay here big boy. I'll be right back." She then mounted the horse again and ran off. I got up and half limped half ran back to my territory and got to the doctor. I can't stop thinking about that girl.

I have to see her again.
