Chapter No 6 I hate Him

When she returned home, Collin was already sleeping. She went inside her room and fell upon her bed. His arrogant face was already in her head.

She felt her heart racing now whenever she thinks about him, “Jerk, what he is doing to me? What on the planet he thinks he is?” she thought angrily.

“Where on the planet Jacob is? I am trying hard to contact him,” she thought.

“Sometimes I wonder why on the planet this jerk Tyler is so Mean to me, and then he has become my savior in a few moments, I mean the day I was attacked as much as he hates me he could leave me to die, he would not have saved me, but he did. The other day when I was being bullied, why did he appear? And he knew that if he appears the girls will forget about me instead he will get their attention. Why did he do this for me? Anyway, whatever he is playing at I still hate him for ruining my childhood with that toy of his name Julia,” She was so angry at him for teasing her. She fell asleep thinking about him.

It was a misty forest full of plants, trees, butterflies, and sparkles. It was all magical. Two wolves were running with each other. Hugging and playing happily. The one was pure white like a pearl and the other one was gray, a very different kind of wolf that no one had seen before. They both looked so happy with each other until they saw a black wolf that attacked the gray wolf.

He got up, his body was sweaty, his breathing was fast and his heart was racing. He got out of his bed and rushed out of the pack house; he was running faster until he turned into his wolf. Axel was running, the gray wolf was in his mind until he howled aloud, so much aloud that the whole pack was alert.

Althea was in deep sleep when she heard the howl. She got down in a rush to check on Collin, he also got awake. She rushed towards him.

“It’s okay Collin, everything is alright,” she said to him.

“Mommy, daddy are they home?” He asked.

“No, I think not because their room is empty,” she said.

“Who is it, Althea?” He asked.

“I don’t know, I hope it’s not rogue,” she said, afraid the night of the attack was in her mind.

“I need to see Viviana if she is fine,” he said, afraid.

“She would be okay muffin, she is with her pack, with her brother to protect her,” she said, avoiding taking Tyler’s name.

“No, I am worried, please understand,” he said, afraid. She gives him a sigh.

“Okay, let me talk to Jacob, he might be home now,” she said and dialed Jacob’s number.

He was sleeping in deep sleep, his arm was around Gena’s waist, and she was sleeping sound fully around him when his phone rang. He opened his eyes. The phone stopped ringing. He moved his hand to look for the phone but it was not on the bed. He looked down at the floor, grabbed it, and checked.

“3 calls from sugar plum fairy” he got up in the rush. Gena was still asleep. He called back. After a while, the call was picked up

“Hello Althea, You okay? I am sorry I did not pick up,” he said worried.

“Yeah I am fine Jacob, I was calling you to know the way out of the pack house, I went to drop Viviana off, but I got lost inside the house, so I called you,” she said exhausted but she did not tell about Tyler’s room incident.

“I am sorry Althea, I was at Gena’s place,” he said sheepishly.

“What happened, are you home? Why did you call me at this time?” He asked.

“I was sleeping when I heard a wolf’s howl, I got up, Mom and Dad are at the pack meeting. Collin was worried about Viviana, so I called you to ask if you were in the pack house,” she said.

“No, I am at Gena’s place, let me know through the mind-link what has happened?” he said and hung up.

“Levi are you patrolling tonight?” He asked through mind-link with one of the pack members

“Yeah it’s me,” Levi responded.

“I heard a howl, who is it?” He asked.

“I am exhausted now answering everyone, it’s upcoming Alpha Tyler, he had a forced shift and he is currently in the forest unable to shift in his human yet,” he responds exhausted.

“Okay, thank you, Levi,” he said.

“Althea nothing to worry about, it’s Tyler, he had a force shift tonight,” he said to Althea through mind-link.

“Oh, I was worried about the rogue, anyway good night Jacob,” she said through mind-link.

“Good night Althea,” he said.

“How is she?” Asked Collin.

“She is fine and sleeping, Tyler had a forced shift,” she said while taking deep breaths.

“Now you should also sleep, it’s already half of the night,” she said smiling and let him lay down, she turned off the lights and went to her room.

“Althea, I want to say something,” said Lilly.

“Yeah, what is it, Lilly!” Replied Althea.

“You heard Tyler has forced a shift, he helped us once, should we go to the forest? To check if he is okay?” She said hesitantly.

“But he has been a mean to us, all his life, and if we go to help him. He will definitely push us away or humiliate us,” said Althea, annoyed.

“But I feel a debt, I mean, he saved us that day, and later from the bullying did not he?” She defends him.

“He did, but I don’t think he saved us from bullying actually,” said Althea.

“At least we can try,” said Lilly hesitantly.

“Okay fine, that’s at your own risk Lilly, as you know previously when we went to the woods we were about to be charbroiled,” Althea said.

She put on her long shoes and jacked as it was cold outside. She checked on Collin he was already asleep. She went out of her house and walked slowly towards the forest.

“Where would he be?” She thought, She was walking slowly looking around her surroundings, somehow she was never afraid of this place, she had spent her childhood here and most precisely this was the very place she was found by her parents. She was getting bored while searching for him so she put on her earphones and picked her favorite song in the air by Natalie Taylor.

I can feel it coming in the air tonight,

Oh Lord

She was walking slowly towards the wood, she was looking for him if he could be spotted anywhere, but she was a bit afraid too, he had forced shift, he could lose control and attack her, but Lilly was insisting on checking up on him and trying to help him.

Well, if you told me you were drowning

I would not lend a hand

I’ve seen your face before my friend

But I don’t know if you know who I am

Well, I was there and I saw what you did

I saw it with my own two eyes

So you can wipe off that grin...

The song was over and then she saw paw prints on the ground. She chased them, but they ended up behind the bushes, She called out for him.

“Tyler?”. But she remembers his wolf’s name is Axel, “Axel? Are you there?” She asked.

But no response. She turned to look near the lake. She walked towards the waterfall in the lake when she heard a growl behind her. She turned suddenly. It was Axel. He jumped over her. She fell to the ground and he was on top of her. He was a huge white wolf, she could only recognize him with his deep blue eyes that he was Tyler. His paws were on her arms making brushes.

“Tyler, I know you are hearing me, it’s me, Althea, please let me go, I know your wolf does know me, but it does not want to kill me, if he does then he would not have saved me that day,” she said.

She was feeling so much pain in her arms, they were bleeding due to his sharp paws, after a while Axel let her go, retreating slowly, he howled too much aloud, and she felt he was in pain.

Lilly was urged to come out; she did not understand what was happening. She forcefully stopped Lilly from coming out.

“No Lilly, you can’t, he will kill us if he comes to know who we are,” she said to her wolf.

Axel sat beside the tree, he was winning. She walked ahead toward him; she softly touched his fur, and more surprisingly he did not make a move or anything. He let her sit beside her placing his one paw around her. She never felt this much save in her entire life. The pain in her arm was now slowly fading, her wolf was healing her. She placed her head over Axel’s neck; she was so exhausted that she slept after a while.

She woke up with the sound of hummingbirds, she opened her eyes, it was a bit cold, and she felt a body warmth and soft breath over her neck.

She tried to move but her hair’s where beneath something heavy. More self-aware she came to realize that she is sleeping with someone in the forest.

The heavy hand was around her stomach.

”No, No, No, this can’t be no never it’s a bad dream,” she closed her eyes and thought.

She opened her eyes and turned a bit to look much to her horror Tyler’s handsome and peaceful face was in her view. She slowly freed her hair trapped under his head, when she faced him, for a while she had gone lost inside his handsome facial features. He was sleeping peacefully. He had a straight nose, oval face, and small lips, His dark black hairs were over his forehead, blowing with the breeze.

She felt a strong desire to touch him. She unconditionally moved her hand in his dark hair, she felt warmth. Then she came into herself and got up slowly so that he would not awake. He was still asleep and there was nothing on him, due to the shift he tore his clothes and he was still naked. She took off her jacket, and though it was too small for him, she covered him with it. She walked away and turned to have a look at him, he was still sleeping.

She got up at 8:00 am; she was late for school. Jacob was sleeping beside her peacefully. She moved her fingers in his hair.

“He is adorable, isn’t he?” Said Marian, her inner wolf.

“Yeah he is,” she said softly and got out of her bed. She made breakfast and went inside her room; he was already awake and now checking on his phone. She smiled and kissed him over his forehead.

“Awake?” She asked.

“You never let me sleep,” he said and kissed her over her lips.

“I made us breakfast,” she said softly.

“Aww, my little she-wolf made me some breakfast?” He asked in a heavy voice. She smiled widely.

“Last night was magical,” she said.

“Oh it was because I had the sexiest girl in the world by my side,” he said smiling.

“Let’s have breakfast, it is still warmth,” she said and left the room.

She was getting ready for school. She was still thinking about the last night and thinking about the morning she blushed.

“Oh come on Althea, it was not like you had sex with him,” she said to herself annoyed.

“Is he awake?” She thought.

“Maybe,” said Lilly.

“Oh Lilly, where were you? I haven’t heard from you since last night” she said.

“I was just exhausted that I had a very strong urge to shift so I blocked you out,” Lilly said.

“Why do you want to shift? It was not a full moon?” She asked.

“I don’t know I felt his wolf was in pain, I don’t know why I wanted to confront him,” she said softly.

“Eh Eh my little pinky wolf is having a crush Eh Eh crush on big white wolf,” she said trying to tease her.

“Hey, it’s not like that and we had a mate out there. I don’t want to do things like Jacob.” Lilly said, annoyed.

“Like Jacob? What has he done” she asked.

“Don’t you know? He was at Gena’s place and he was banging with her I am sure,” she said.

“Ah my wolf is rude,” she said.

“It’s not like I am rude, I am excited about my mate and there is only a year to find him,” Lilly said excitedly.

“And Jacob, he is banging with someone, on the casualty that she is his mate or not,” Lilly said annoyed.

“You are worried about him?” Asked Althea.

“Of course I am, he has been my friend since childhood, it will ruin both him and Gena if they were not mates,” she said annoyed.

“But think something else Lilly, maybe she would be his mate, look at the positive side,” she said and pulled her hair up.

She looked for her jacket but the only jacket she had was in the forest with Tyler. She felt horrible because if she did not wear her Jacket the brushes were exposed and the questions would raise.

She dialed Gena’s number,

“Hello, Gena? Yeah, everything is fine,” she said.

He felt a very strange scent around him, a famine scent. He was feeling cold on his legs but warmth over his upper body. He opened his eyes. After gaining proper self-awareness he realizes he is in the forest. He was unable to call what happened last night. He called his wolf but he was not responding to him, he might have blocked him.

He got up and he found himself completely naked. All he got was a small jacket. He gives it a sigh.

“Last night I forced a shift, but why can’t I remember anything,” he thought. He was staring at the jacket.

“Why do I have déjà vu ? I saw it somewhere before?” He thought about the jacket, but he was unable to recall it. He went to the pack house, but he did not want anyone to see him naked; he mind-linked one of the pack members to bring him clothes.

He put the jacket in his closet, but still, he was confused about who wore it and where he saw it. He got prepared for school.

She was waiting outside of the school for Jacob and Gena when she saw his car moving toward the parking lot. Her heart skips a beat.

“He is awake,” she thought. He got out of the car, he looked a bit exhausted and tense. She was trying to hide the brushes.

She still had scars that were visible. He walked in his usual style impressing every girl around him, but today something else was on his mind, so he was not paying attention. He walked closer to her, he was passing by her when their eyes met, his eyes were digging inside her eyes, and then into her bruises, his expression changed a bit, but he passed by her.

“WTH! Did he not remember what happened last night?” She said to her wolf.

“He completely ignored us,” said Lilly.

“I told you, Lilly, he was a jerk, and we took harm on our safety for him, he is a selfish idiot I hate him,” she said angrily.
