Watching two wolves copulate wasnât how Bodaway Gryffon wanted to spend his evening.
In his raven form, heâd flown into the Walkerâs Run Cooperativeâs wolf sanctuary to scout possible locations for his daughter, Willow. Her Transformation Ceremony would take place on her sixteenth birthday, the age their kind, the Tlanuhwaâan ancient Native American clan of raven shiftersâdeveloped the ability to shift into their bird forms.
Bodie had first learned of the Walkerâs Run Cooperative and their commitment to conservation and the preservation of wildlife a few years ago while working with other state, federal and local agencies to contain a massive fire within the Chattahoochee National Forest.
Recently moved to the area, Bodie now had the opportunity to explore the Co-opâs protected lands with the hope of finding a safe and permanent home for Willow, his mother and himself.
Ignoring the activity below his perch, Bodie lifted his gaze to the full moon, a large, bright, unblinking eye that watched over the earthâor at least the wolf sanctuary. He wondered if its bluish glow served as an aphrodisiac for the wolves, considering the number heâd seen mating tonight.
Peripheral movement in the distance drew his attention and he launched from his perch to investigate. Weaving through trees with branches still weighted with lush, green leaves, he honed in on the she-wolf leisurely padding ahead. Thick reddish-gold fur covered her sleek, toned body. Nose twitching, she tilted her head and watched Bodie alight in a nearby tree. Curiosity shimmered in her cobalt blue eyes and as she examined him inch by inch, an indelible warmth spread across Bodieâs skin beneath his dark feathers.
