The Immortals Awaited Mate

Pow !!

The gunshot went off for the final lap, and I was already leading the track. The crowd was going crazy as they cheered out of excitement. I was running with all my might.

I smiled to myself as I noticed that I was almost at the finish line. It's my 18th birthday today, and I finally have the chance to prove to my father that I'm more than just a mistake.

The adrenaline kicked in, but something felt wrong; my vision became blurry, I could feel my chest pounding faster, and all of a sudden, my body started to itch. A sudden sharp pain shot through my chest, and before I could react, the world went dark.

My consciousness crept back in, but the world felt too loud, as I heard murmurs around me. I opened my eyes and tried to get up, but something felt wrong and weird ___ my body felt heavy. I stood up, but the floor felt closer.

The crowd’s gaze was different from before; it was mixed with fear and confusion. I turned around and saw my best friend, Gina. I tried to walk towards her, but she stepped back.

I looked down

paws.

Slowly, my hearing became clearer and sharper; I could hear the pounding heartbeats of my teammates, the whispers of people a mile away, and the screeching sounds of someone's shoes.

‘’ what’s happening to me?’’ i asked mumbling to myself

‘’We are one now, pup.’’

The voice came from deep in my head, unbothered.

‘’Who are you?’’ I asked as I turned around.

’Your other half pup, get used to this, you're about to be big bad wolf.’

A wolf? me" That’s not possible’’,

‘’It’s a fucking wolf, did we all see that, Riley just turned into a wolf …….he’s …an Animal!’’

Someone in the crowd screamed, as everyone started to run. I tried to defend myself, but nothing came out. I was no longer in control.

I felt my body, I meant the wolf’s body, as it started to run.

‘’Stop, you are scaring my friends……scaring me’’ I begged.

‘’They are scared of you, idiot, and they don’t give a shit about you.’’

They do, they are……’’ before I could finish, a gunshot drowned out my voice.

‘’What’s happening?’’ I asked, confused as some people ran towards us.

‘’Those freaks want to control us; we must not let them get us,’’ he said as he hastened his pace

‘’I don’t like this, let me out, give me my body back’’ I exclaimed, trying to get in control

You little shit! When I get you’’ he replied, trying to take control, but I took over, I don’t know how I did, but I did.

There was no time to celebrate my victory as I felt a sharp pain in my neck, losing control, and losing consciousness again.

I woke up in a moving van. A strange man with an unreadable expression handed me some clothes. I looked at myself, confused, and realised that I was naked.

‘’Who are you?’’ I tried to ask, but my voice sounded hoarse.

‘’The pretty boy is awake, I see, don’t worry, you are in safe hands,’ the man said with a smile. I looked at him as I took the clothes from him.

Before I could ask any more questions, the car stopped abruptly.

‘’We are here’’ the man said and opened the back of the van and got down

Revealing a gothic building that looks like it belongs in another century. Iron gates, stone horses, weird trees at every corner.

‘’Welcome to Bloodline Academy. Your new life starts now’’

‘’What?’’

‘’It’s just like your human school with a little bit of unique individuals, ‘’he said,

‘I’m not enrolled anywhere……..’’

‘’Oh, I already did that.’’

‘’How did you…..?’’

‘’I'm the founder of this school, and I was already aware of your existence.’’

‘’What do you………? I tried to ask, but he cut me off.

‘’Here is everything that you might need’’ , he added and gave me a school bag

I checked it and realized that I actually have everything that I might need as he guided me to the school.

‘’Go in and follow the schedule in your hand. My office is in that building.’’

He said and pushed me to keep walking.

‘’ It’s my first time here in years, and I’m already being forced to go to a fucking school, I just wanted to teach those fools that bullied you when you were small a damn lesson, but here we are

‘’ I’m not happy about this either’’ I complained

‘’Oh, he finally agrees on something with me, cute’’ he mocked

‘’I need to leave, I need to find an exit out of here I whispered to myself as I searched through the hallway for anywhere that says EXIT.

‘’Ohh, first day in school and we are already having a scandal in our hands, who could have thought?’’ Wolf mocked

‘’Shut up’’ I muttered, and kept walking. The hallway felt empty and out of place. A huge red door made it even weirder as it stood at the rear end of the hallway.

I figured that it could be the way out, so I immediately approached it and tried to open it, but it won’t budge. After a few minutes of struggle, the lock finally clicked as I pushed it open and went through.

It looked like a huge garden with different species of flowers and trees, and butterflies were fluttering around. I was busy admiring how beautiful it was, but the wolf interrupted my thoughts as he spoke.

‘’Get your shit together, this is not the fucking plan!’’ he yelled. I rolled my eyes as I realised that he was right and searched for an exit. I noticed that the fence was not that high and figured that I could climb it.

I quickly ran towards it and took a bucket I saw behind the door for support. Turning it upside down, I climbed it and peered over the fence. Behind it, I noticed that it leads to another pathway and a deserted street. I held my bearings to climb over, but was stopped by a voice.

‘What the hell are you doing?’ it questioned
