Chapter 14: Blast from the past
RUDINA
Ashina pulling me had hurt but I did not mind. They all seemed truly happy that I was recovering.
I didn't know what to say as we entered the kitchen. If I tell Ashina I bathed all by myself, she would get too excited again but If I let her believe Volk did it, she would be equally as excited. Instead, I decided to divert her attention.
”I’m sorry for bringing out your wolf.” I say.
She frowns and I worry I may have said something wrong.
”I should be the one apologising for startling you. To be sincere, I have no female friends. I've never had any. Girls see me as a challenge and since none of them can compete with me in brains or strength, they tend to harbour ill feelings. After you came here, it felt like my one shot at having a girlfriend. I'm sorry I got too excited earlier, but I do appreciate spending time with you and I hope you feel the same way.” She t
Chapter 15: The full moonRUDINAIt's almost nightfall and Ashina and I had chatted none stop since lunch. Well, she did most of the talking but I was feeling confident enough to add a few sentences and never did she make me feel like I had said the wrong thing. She told me about the hunt tonight and how the woods had wild animals and usually, they would compete for who caught the most prey.” We should go inside. You need to rest. Today has been most eventful. I'm so happy you're getting better.” She says as she helps me to my feet and we leave the balcony. ”I have to go to Lowell. I've been here since lunch. Don't get me wrong, I loved every bit of it.” She continues as she helps me lay down on the bed. It felt so good to rest my back as I was more exhausted than I realized. I nod with a smile. Then she bends and hugs me.”I know this must be difficult for you but thank you for letting me be your friend.” She whispers in my ear. There was so much emotion in her voice and she doesn
Chapter 16: PassionASHINALowell and I had gone back to our room to get ready and also because I didn't want to be around Marrissa. I didn't dislike her guts and it irritated me how she was not apologetic about wanting to sleep with Volk. Her outfits were always too provocative and although I knew she did it for Volk, I didn't appreciate Lowell seeing her that way either.” I don't understand why she has to come here every time. She doesn't even want to join our pack.” I say.” Enough about Marrissa. She'll be gone by tomorrow.” Lowell groans.” She kept glaring at Rudina. Oh, Lord help me if we hadn't been having dinner and I didn't want to startle Rudina.””Enough, darling.” Lowell says as he pulls me closer and puts his lips on mine.I'm a bit in shock at how sudden it was but all of my anger begins to dissipate. This man knew just how to get me. I arch my back to press against him, he brings his hands around my waist and pulls me to him, deepening our kiss. I let his tongue danc
Chapter 17: The black sheepRUDINAEveryone around me is black and I wonder how I'm the only white-skinned child. There are tiny huts with bamboo roofings all around me. I do not know where I am, what my name is how I got here. I start to wander around and I can feel all eyes are on me. I bow my head as I walk, hoping someone would recognize me and come to me."Child, come here." comes a woman's voice. I lift my head to find a stern-looking lady watching me. She motions for me to come closer with her hands and I do as I'm told."What is your name?" She demands.I shake my head." You are going to be a member of this pack from now on." She tells me.I nod my head."We are werewolves and so are you. Every child is trained and taught the art of survival. The world is peaceful now but we do not need war to be strong. You shall join that group and take training with them every day. I do not need a weakling in my pack so
Chapter 18: An impossible goalVOLKI had carried Rudina back to the house after she met with Lowell and Ashina. She was awed when Elis let her rub her fur. She had a smile on her face till we got back to the house. I took her upstairs to her room where she fell asleep minutes later. I knew I had pushed her too far but she seemed less fatigued. I wanted to ask if she also felt stronger with the full moon but I didn't want to pick at her many horrible memories.I had gone back to my room so that I could get some time alone to speak to Conri.” Why did you refuse to come out in the woods?” I demand.I had intended to shift when Dreagar and Elis came but Conri wouldn't budge. It came to me as a shock as I could not understand why my wolf was not surfacing and taking form.”You’ve not accepted her.” Conri retorts.” I have been doing my best Conri. How else am I supposed to accept her?
Chapter 19: The angelRUDINARight when I set my eyes on her, I recognise her from the picture I had seen downstairs. She walks up to me with a smile and hugs me." I'm so glad to finally meet you, Rudina." Mrs Lycaon says.I had been seating on the hammock and watching the empty fields. Ashina had not come up today and Volk didn't stay after breakfast, it seemed like he was in a hurry.Mrs Lycaon sits beside me and we watch the fields together. There was a bit of an awkward air as none of us knew what to say." It must feel very different for you here, I hope they have been treating you well?"Her voice is melodic and gentle, making me feel like if I listen to her more, I'll end up falling asleep."Yes, they have." I say.She looks at me with a stunned expression." They mentioned you don't speak much, I am honoured."I smile at the beautiful words coming from her beautiful face. This had
Chapter 20: TemptationsVOLKThere was so much to do. It had been a week since the full moon which gave up just three weeks before the next. There was no specified time for the arrival of our pack so we had to get everything ready and move into the woods before they started to arrive. Myself, Lowell, Ashina and Marissa had been running all of the errands while Mum and Dad stayed with Rudina. I mostly got back when she was asleep so I would go to her room and watch her sleep. It had become the part of my day that I look forward to, though I keep wishing I could join her in bed and lay with her."Why is she still here?" Ashina snarls. Lowell gives her a look that she shrugs to and walks away.Marissa had gone to fetch more soap to continue cleaning with. I watched as her hips swayed and her tits bounced in her tight shirt that gave me a show of her beautiful cleavage. I could ignore all of her advances towards me but I couldn't ignore that she w
Chapter 21: BeautyVOLKThis wasn't the first time I was seduced by a woman. Different werewolves had made advances at me, both within and outside our pack. I had never fallen prey to any of them. I wondered if it was because my emotions had been in disarray since I met Rudina. It was as if I could not control how I felt around her and I was constantly on overdrive.I had stayed in my room since the even with Marissa, I knew I would have to go down to fetch dinner but I wanted to wait til Rudina had retired to her room.I hear a soft knock on my door and I figured Mum had fetched Lowell to get me." Come in." I say.Mum walks in carrying my dinner with her with a glass of water. It was barbequed ribs and the rich aroma filled the air. Mum rarely came into my room and if she did, I knew what it meant, I'm about to receive a lecture." Rudina put so much effort in making this dish. I'm sure she's heartbroke
Chapter 22: FatedRUDINAMy life had taken a drastic turn. From living off scraps and not knowing what my next meal would be to being able to make the meals I ate every day. It gave me a new sense of being and self-worth. It had been a month already, and I have never regretted being here. The Lycaons had shown me a whole new definition of humanity and kindness. Every day seemed like a dream come through. I always woke to smiles since Marissa left. No one had asked why she was leaving abruptly as she did not even have dinner.Like with everyone else, Volk and I had grown closer and I could feel sparks flying between us every time we were together. He was always in my room at night and would tell me stories about his many adventures with Lowell and Ashina as children. As Diane had said, he wasn't so tough on the inside. It was as if he puts on a mask for the world to see then he would keep it aside anytime he came to me. It made me feel special and wanted. I still
