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.

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?”
