Chapter 1: Where to begin

'How did you get them?!', she was asked. That exact question flung her into a world of her distant memories, dreams, and nightmares. She never wanted to remember that night when she was possessed with her feathery appendages on her back. Lets start way back when she as just a young pup named Ice.
Ice was born 19 winters ago to a legendary wolf pack called the Starpaws. They were the most legendary and powerful wolf pack that was ever created and led successfully. Ice was the first to be born. She used to have metallic gray fur with black paws. Her siblings had just regular fur colors like we all know. Weeks passed and they grew bigger and bigger until their eyes opened.
Ice's eyes are the most beautiful golden color ever imagined. After the fourth week, they were already exploring their homeland. Ice and her siblings were already being trained by their father, Thor, and their uncles, Thoth and Crash. They were the best in their class. Their lives were perfect until that fateful night.... Humans!
They found Ice's family and were hunting them down! Guns shot in the air and many fell. Ice and her siblings ran as fast as their strong legs could carry them. Hounds chased them on and on until they had to split-up. They had to do it or they would be shot.
Ice ran farther and farther until she reached a mountain range. She climbed and climbed until she reached a strange cave. Ice was so tired, she had to rest there for the night. At midnight, Ice was awakened by a horrifying sight, a bloody spirit-wolf was hovering above her, looking at Ice through blood-red eyes.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!!" Ice screamed in fear. She whimpers and cries in fear. The spirit comes closer to Ice.
"Do not fear. I am just the spirit that haunts this cave. I used to live here until the dreaded Shadowfangs killed me." said the spirit. It alights down infront of Ice. It folds its angel-like wings and sits down.
"The Shadowfangs were here!? Oh no..... what are those on your back?" Ice asked in curiosity. She stepped a bit closer to take a look at the spirit's wings.
"These?" replied the spirit. It opens its wings up again and stretched.
"Well, i can't tell you what they do but I can tell you what they are. They are called wings."
"Wings?"
"Yes. Only the most worthy can have them...." muttered the spirit. It smiles an evil smile.
"I'M WORTHY!!" cried out Ice. She wags her tail in happiness.
"You want wings?! Well.... I suppose I could do a spell..." chuckled the spirit evilly. Then, its eyes glowed bright red and Ice screamed and fell to the floor.

I would be glad to hear from you about this part!! Please tell me what you think is going to happen and wait for the next part to see if you were right!

Chapter 1: Where to begin (continued)

The spirit cackled and shrieked in laughter while bat-like wings started to sprout from its back. They were large and black and blackened blood flowed from the spots where the wings were sprouting. Ice moans in pain and rolls over, into her own blood that stained her beautiful, white fur. She felt two slight lumps on her back and rolled back over, and saw an amazing, but horrifying sight. Two large, bloodstained wings hung by her front legs that sprouted from her shoulders, just like the spirit that is actually a demon.
"AAAAIIEEEEE!!!" howled Ice in pure terror. She whimpered and turned to the demon.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!" cried Ice. She snarled and snapped at the demon that just stood there, not fazed by Ice's ambitions to scare it.
"Well, you said that you were worthy enough to receive wings of your own... then... you GOT 'EM!!" Sneered the demon. "These wings will be on you for eternity and you just been laid with a curse that came with these wings..." whispered the demon evilly.
It leaped into the air and disappeared in midair. Ice stretched her wings and walked out of the cave into the warm, morning air. A gentle breeze ruffles Ice's fur and a sweet scent of pine enfolds Ice in a calm trance. Realizing her wings once more, Ice leaps into the air, soaring above the land. She searches and explores many lands and regions in her lifelong dream of owning her own territory.
After a year of brutal travel, Ice finds an uninhabited den that was unhaunted by demonic spirits.
"Finally! Now I can make this my own and it's not haunted!" cheered Ice. She drags in piles upon piles of soft leaves and creates her soft bed. Then, she walked out and looks at her surroundings. A long stretch of forest behind her den, a lake infront, a mountain northward, and a bordering terr southward. After a while checking out her surroundings, Ice explores and maps out her terr.
On the mountaintop that was in the horizon, Ice lands at the summit and howls the most beautiful howl ever heard that carried on for miles and upon miles away. Others hearing the howl, told others the story of 'the great winged wolfess'. Most of the males called her 'Ice the beautiful'. Since her howl also signified her availablility, males tried to search for the 'winged maiden of the sky', but fail to do so. Only a few that met Ice was in a coincidence.


This is the end of Chapter 1. Start looking out for the beginning of Chapter 2!

Chapter 2: Lovestriking

It was early morning after Ice returned from a hunt when she heard a distant howl. It was from a brute (mature male wolf). Ice calls back with her signature howl. She did a running start and leaped into the air, unfolding her wings so she could fly. Ice flies through the forest, dodging trees, and into a clearing and Ice calls again. She usually welcomes anyone in her territory and pack. Also, her territory was open to travel through. Then, the another howl responds and Ice comes face-to-face with the most handsome brute ever seen. Ice was awestruck in seconds.
"Are you the one who answered my howl a few days ago?" Ice asks the brute, who respectedly bowed down.
"Yes ma'am. I'm called Aijo" said the handsome brute. He had flame-colored fur, fiery wings, and golden yellow eyes that glittered in the sun. He looked a tiny bit older than Ice, but he was sure handsome! Ice bowed his head in respect while Ice sat on a tree stump.
"I am Alphess Ice or just Ice. I rule this territory that you are in now." proudly said Ice with her tail sweeping from side to side. Aijo looked at sheer admiration of her wings. Then, another howl broke the silence and Aijo responds.
"Ma'am, don't worry. It is just my friend Sprint. He is probably took a wrong turn, but he will find us by my howl." Aijo told her while blushing. Out of the bushes leaped out a gray brute with a white muzzle, paws, and stripe down his back. Ice steps down off the stump and circles Sprint to see if he's a foe. Obviously, he wasn't.
"I see you are Sprint?" asked Ice cautiously. She sits infront of Sprint, who was out of breath and panting.
"Yes...I am...Sprint.." he said between breaths. Ice slowly moved towards him to make sure he wasn't tricking her.
"Ice?" Aijo asked. He walked to her and bowed his head once more.
"Yes, Aijo?" Ice responded. She walked from Sprint and infront of Aijo while Sprint slowly walked towards a mossy spot under a tree to sleep.
"You are the most beautiful alphess I ever laid eyes on." he whispered in Ice's ear. Ice blushed and her tail wags with happiness. The moment of silence was then broken by a long and intimidating howl. Ice howls back and looks at Aijo with worry.
"Someone is coming and they aren't too happy about something..." Ice murmured. Out of the blue leaped out a mangy wolf female that was baring her teeth. Ice's mane stood in an intimidating look. Her uncle trained Ice to deal with these kind of problems like a wolf challenging the alpha for dominance.
"What do you want intruder?" Ice snarled quietly. Her claws pawed the ground and her wings unfolded quickly in her battle-pose. Ice's eyes flashed and glittered with anger.
"I want to see if I could take over this stupid territory from you. You don't deserve it." snarled the fea. "My name is Madreas and don't wear it out!" barked Madreas. She circled around Ice and snapped her jaws. Aijo goes by Ice's side so he could help Ice in battle with this foolish pup.
"I see you had your eye on this place before I came along I see." Ice calmly said to Madreas. She sits down and folds her wings. Madreas started to whine and make rude remarks about Ice's physique, wings, abilities, and how Ice shouldn't even be alive. After a minute or so, Ice got fed up with Madreas' whining and snarles at Madreas, making her jump, Aijo joins in.
"Leave this to me. This is the time that I need to defend my territory from the wrong hands." Ice whispers to Aijo. Then, Madreas stepped over the line... Ice snapped. Ice lunges at Madreas, creating a flurry of feathers, fur, and blood. Madreas bites Ice's wing and Ice bites Madreas leg. Then, Ice flung Madreas into a thorn bush.
