Do I Love Her?

Aljan Darkmoon

She was ever so beautiful

When I first saw her

Fur of rust and white fur of cream

And eyes…a light orange

A bandana she wore around her breast and neck

At first I feared she may have been already chosen

But relief, it was only a gift she had received

From her sire or dam

Or Rosie I do not know

Days passed before I managed to meet her formally

Only to find out poisonous words have already

Been told to her about the blood of a wolf

That ran in my veins

To my surprise she had been trying to seek me out

To see if this was true

‘They make you to be a criminal and nothing more,” said she

‘Knowing ways of blood and hate.’

“But I realize now you are outcasted because they wish it,”

She said almost with sympathy, her voice like a sudden warm breeze in winter

She wished to know about me and slowly I told her of my life

We warmed to each other and became friends

We parted that night but lo!

The same night we met once more.

Jenna had been followed in her search for me and her shadow was my greatest fear and foe

Steele a sled dog, muscular and aggressive, a dog bigger then a normal husky

She cried for aid when she was attacked

I answered and came to her aid, and only I

Steele fled after a battle I overcame due to my attack

And Jenna and I returned to my home for the night

We slept close that night

And together we returned to her owner’s home

Do I love her?

I love her
