Jenna and the Legend of the White Wolf

J.B. Moonstar

Description

Dive into a world filled with nature and self-discovery as Jenna finds herself part of the Legend of the White Wolf…


A desperate call for help starts Jenna on a fast-paced journey to try and save Ituria, a unicorn trapped by hunters. After freeing him from the hunter’s cave, she must also protect him from a renegade wolf intent on taking over Ituria’s forest home.


Jenna may be human in East Forest, but when she travels into the Middle Forest she takes on another form: a large white wolf. Though she may look like a wolf, she doesn't fool all of the animals she encounters. Animals have many ways to identify and assess their environments and every animal’s survival is dependent on their many senses. She will have to learn how animals think in order to earn the trust of the creature who lives in the cave.


Join Jenna on her adventures in Middle Forest to rescue a unicorn, with the help of the forest animals and a very large dragon. During her quest, Jenna learns how she fits into the Legend of the White Wolf and must decide if she is brave enough to see it through!

C hapter One
Tran sformation

“J enna, get in here and clean your room!” her sist er yelled.
Jenna pretended not to hear, instead she kept her head buried in her book. Since she was part of a military family, they tended to move around, a lot. Just before her dad was deployed a few months ago, they had moved into another new house; this one backed up to a lar ge forest.
Her dad told her older sister, Sandy, to help mom take care of things, which Sandy took to heart, bossing Jenna around at every opportunity as soon as mom headed for work. To escape the constant nagging, Jenna would sit in the backyard and read, sometimes catching glimpses of wild creatures scurrying in the woods behind her house. These became her imaginary friends, her only friends in this new house. She liked to talk to them, imagining they understood and coul d respond.
A high-pitched screech caught her attention as it almost drowned her sister’s voice calling her name, yet again. Looking in the direction it came from, she saw a large hawk perched in a pine tree at the far edge of her backyard. She then followed its gaze to a squirrel crouched in the grass.
“Uh oh,” she said quietly to herself, still watching the squirrel.
Suddenly, the squirrel jumped up and ran in her direction, only getting about halfway before turning and dashing back into a nearby tree. It started chattering loudly, waving its tail, its shiny black eyes looking direct ly at her.
Worried the squirrel’s loud noises and movements would draw the hawk’s attention, Jenna turned and looked at the hawk. Surprisingly, it stared back at her. The squirrel had stopped chattering, and she turned, watching as it slowly crept toward her again, inc h by inch.
Staying absolutely still, she shifted her gaze between the squirrel and hawk, waiting to see what would happen. What does the squirrel want from me? It made several more attempts to reach Jenna, making it only halfway, then scampering back into the tree.
Then, something else caught Jenna’s eye. At the edge of the forest was a fox, cautiously walking toward her, its black eyes focused only on her. Within a few feet of Jenna, it stopped, sat down, and barked at her for several seconds, still staring straight into Jenna’s dark b rown eyes.
Jenna did not know how to react. Was it hungry? Was it looking for a place to sleep? And why were all the animals acting so stra nge today?
The fox barked twice, then slowly lifted its white paw at its shoulder level and reached out toward Jenna. What does it want me to do? It was trying to tell her something, but she didn’t know what.
Not getting a reaction from Jenna, the fox turned its head and looked at its raised paw, then back at her, then its paw, repeating the cycle. Does this fox want me to touch its paw? But why? It didn’t seem like it wanted to hurt her. Maybe it just needed a friend; she could relat e to that.
Slowly, she raised her hand and touched the f ox’s paw.


The instant she made contact, a giant wave of dizziness struck her, knocking her back into her chair, dazed and confused. She closed her eyes and shook her head several times, trying to clear her mind. After a few seconds, she opened her eyes and watched the fox run back into the forest. She tried to get up and run after it, but she couldn’t stand. Instead, she tumbled forward onto the ground. What is happening?
Looking down at her feet, they were covered in white fur, her hands had become paws, her whole body was that of a wolf—covered in thick, white fur from head to toe! The fox had stopped to see why she wasn’t following him, and didn’t seem to notice the dramatic change in Jenna’s appearance as it called to her and said, “Come on, we don’t have m uch time!”
Jenna was trying to figure out this transformation, when she realized the fox was talking to her in growls and barks, exclaiming urgently, “We must hurry, before it’s too late!” I can under stand him!
His voice sounded so worried and anxious that Jenna felt compelled to help her new animal friend, despite her drastic change in appearance. She got up and tried to stand on her new wolf legs. A little shaky at first, her balance soon returned, and she followed him into the woods. Within a few minutes, running as a wolf seemed so natural, she had no problem k eeping up.
The fox remained silent as they entered a clearing in the forest. Among the ferns and flowers, there were two squirrels and two small deer talking to each other. As she entered the clearing, they immediately stopped talking and turned as one, staring at Jenna. The deer were visibly frightened by the white wolf, shaking and huddling together, but the fox was quick to say, “Don’t worry, this is Jenna, she has come to help us sav e Ituria!”
The fox turned back to Jenna. “I am Ralphie, one of the animals who live in this forest. Ituria is trapped and we only have a short time before Ranco finds him, so we mu st hurry!”
Jenna didn’t know who Ituria or Ranco were, and she had questions, lots of questions. Trying to respond, she found herself growling and barking, but she understood the wolf talk, and so did the animals in the clearing. She could talk with th e animals!
“Wait a second,” she barked. “Who is Ituria and why do we need to re scue him?”
C hapter Two
The Search For Ituria

“I turia,” Ralphie answered, “is the leader and protector of our forest. He has been caught in a hunter’s net, and we must get to him before Ranco does or Ranco will kill him. Ranco is a grey wolf from the North Forest who has invaded our home and has been killing r esidents.”
A squirrel quickly jumped onto a stump and started speaking in squirrel, with squeaks and clicks, now easily understood by Jenna. “I’m Sedric,” he said. “I saw Ituria trapped in the net and tried to talk to you earlier this evening, but you were human and so big, you scared me, so I ran away. Now you are much more beautiful in your wolfskin, and I see that you can help us. Legend has it a white wolf will come and help our leader when he is in need. We’ve seen you come to the edge of the forest and talk and sing to us, and sometimes the image of a white wolf would cover your human body. That’s how we knew you were the one to find!”
Jenna was amazed. She had seen the animals in the forest numerous times and t
