The Merge!!

 “WAIT!” I screamed loudly while getting up from my bed while I raised my hand horizontally to stop the wolf. I had erratic heartbeat and was sweating heavily throughout my body.

“I didn’t even touch you yet” said Lily, my dear best friend, while raising her hands in defense.

“I wasn’t talking to you. I just had a dream about…” and I started talking about my fantasy dream again.

“About your handsome werewolf again?” asked Lily with a cheeky grin on her face.

She sat on my bed next to me with hearts in her doe eyes to discuss the dream, she has heard thousands of times.

To which I replied in a low tone,

“Yeah”

“So, the handsome guy you meet in your dreams is a dark brown colored werewolf, right?” asked Lily curiously as she remembered the details, of course.

She has to discuss it every single time! She is just mad for handsome wolves!

“Yes, the fact is that only you know that it’s not a dream!” I said with narrowed eyes.

My statement along with frustrated expressions made her smile widened.

“You are really something, Elena! You are the daughter of Alpha and your mother is a warrior and our clan’s Luna, let’s not forget to mention that. I mean both of your parents are werewolves of highest rank possible, still you somehow made people believe in your lie that you can’t change!” said Lily in an impressed tone.

“SSHhhh! Dumbo! No one should ever know that I have already changed” I hissed at her and tightened my grip around her hand to an extent that it started to hurt her.

She immediately removed my hands and took a deep breath.

“But why?” She asked again in annoyance without complaining about my recent lethal attack because she knows my desperation to hide it.

‘She had to ask it every single time. Why can’t this girl just stop her investigation already?’ I thought in frustration.

“I have my reasons” I said looking down and continued,

“and you should respect one’s privacy”

“Fine! But you should know that people will find out sooner or later. If it wasn’t me violently attacking everything in sight on my first change people would have already known about you. The coincidence helped but it’s not something you can hide forever. You have to accept yourself. You need to accept who you are, Elena” said Lily giving me a knowing look.

I hate the fact that my best friend knows me so damn well.

I looked away to avoid eye contact with her and my eyes fell on the clock, it was 5:30 am!

What is she doing here this early?

“Why are you here again this early in the morning?” I asked in a frustrated tone throwing my pillow at her which she dodged like a ninja turtle.

“I came for training, of course. But then I heard the big news and I really needed to share with you. When I reached near your room and knocked, you didn’t answer so I was about to leave, but I heard your scream so I entered to check on you” said Lily in a concerned tone.

“Thanks babe. You are the best” I said with a polite smile.

 “I know, right?”

“What was the big news?” I asked curiously.

“We are merging with Moonshine. Isn’t it amazing!” she replied the dreadful news excitedly which made me panic.

How can she be so excited for this ridiculous merge!

“What amazing? We can’t! Dark Sapphire and Moonshine can’t merge! We have been living like enemies from the time of my great great grandfather! They can’t do that!” I said in utter shock. My blood was boiling after hearing the distressing news.

I can’t believe that they are giving the merge with Moonshine a thought! Did they forget how those low life creatures of Moonshine disrespected my great great grandfather! They did not only disrespect my great great grandfather but also the whole Swan family!

Not caring much about my disagreement, my excited chicken continued with her utter nonsense.

“I know! But do you know that the eldest son of Alpha of Moonshine is sizzling hot! What is his name again? Luke.. Luke Smith. There is a rumor which say that, He is so damn handsome that there is not a single girl in this entire world who can resist his charms! He is going to be the next Alpha soon. I think it is right after the merge” said Lily while clapping her hand in excitement.

‘She just knows too much nonsense for her own good!’

“I don’t care about that stupid future Alpha! Nobody is as handsome as the werewolf I met” I said proudly. A smile curved on my rosy pink lips when I thought about my gentle and kind hero.

But someone could not just digest me being happy, so she had to interrupt.

“My a*s! He is more handsome than your fantasy boyfriend! I hope that I get to date him. I hope he is my mate. Please God! Please make him my mate! Please! Please! Pretty please!” said Lily closing her eyes and praying like the most religious person to ever walk on planet earth.

Nobody gets to disrespect my handsome prince!

“Get out of my room! Go and get trained to be his future wife, soon to be Mrs. Smith!” I said in a sarcastic tone but the foolish girl really took it seriously.

“On it” replied Lily happily while jumping out of my room.

Just this instance, she remembered something and turned towards me with a serious look on her face.

“By the way, we are merging in a week!” said Lily in a small voice.

“No! It can’t be! I won’t let this happen!”
