A deep sigh erupted from her lips as she turned off the engine and pulled the key out of the ignition. Angie leaned back her seat, closed her eyes, and just gave herself some time to think. It had already been a few days since she tried to liberate an outpost and failed miserably. Honestly, it was pure luck that she managed to take out both groups of hunters. She had begun to panic halfway through the fight, but she guessed that some of the hunters did too. She had seen a few missed shots, a couple of the hunters freeze when their eyes met hers, and one even tripped on a branch. If it weren't for the little things like that, she probably wouldn't have made it.

She unconsciously scratched at the almost healed wounds that she earned during

It was easier to for them to track down the elusive Deputy that was running amok. Things were looking bleak for the hunters that failed to track the beast. Jacob had made it clear that he wanted it. They were able to follow the track until the river, then nothing. It was like it vanished that day at the outpost. They've had absolutely zero luck in tracking the monster wolf since that day.. until now. A howl cut through the natural sounds of the forest, alerting a hunting party that was a few miles away. the Judges that joined the group let out howls in response.

A smirk flashed across Jacob's face as he looked over at his wolves who finished their howling. This was just the thing they needed to finally track down the beast. He was rather pleased with himself that he choose just the right hunting party to join on this day. How lucky for him. The hunting party regrouped and made their way towards the area where the lone howl came from. It would take a little while on foot, but vehicle was not an option while on the hunt.

She stuck her whole head into the water, shaking it around hoping to get clean. She had partially forgotten that this hunting trip was supposed to be quick, but it felt good to be in this form. To run around, to hunt, to even play in the water like a young pup. She craved being a wolf, despite being wanted as a prize by the man who runs this territory. She pulled her face out of the water and then shook about, figuring she was clean enough.

Still distracted by the water, she sat and lapped at the water, taking a drink. It took her just a few seconds too long to notice the familiar scent of the bliss. She froze for a second, taking in the scent and the direction it was in. She was downwind from them. She stood up, ears perked up to listen for any thing in that direction. She heard the sound of a bow being drawn and released. She quickly jumped from her position, evading the arrow, and ran in the opposite direction of the hunters. She guessed she had taken far too long on this

    An activism that explored the connection between the exploitation of the natural world and women that emerged during the 1980s generated a work by Leslie Marmon Silko, known as “Yellow Woman”, written in 1981.

With hair no doubt standing up upon the back of their necks, they then heard the sound of paws circling the campsite and scratching noises coming from the shaft where the chain was lying. Stealing a glimpse at the shaft, the chain began to move, seemingly being tugged away from the rock wall by an unknown force. As the pulling continued, harder each time, the brothers fumbled for their gear and stumbled to their feet. One of them pointed the flashlight toward the chain where scratch marks and blood stains could be seen on the rock.…

    Our ancestors had grown to be stronger, bigger than the average wolf, towering the same height as the typical man on all fours. The boy ran his hands through the dark fur on my front legs, the brown colour fading as it got closer to my paws. My wolf purred, appreciating the action, and I nudged the boy with my nose as the others came into view.

She glanced behind me to the doe, her eyes shining with relief that we'd have something to…
