' Knock it off Adolph . You have been staring at her since the beginning of lunch . ' Ian said snapping his fingers in front of me .
' I have just been looking around . ' I denied turning my head back to my food .
' You can keep lying to yourself . I am sure she would have felt your stare. You almost bored a hole in her skin . ' Tedrey put in .
' Okay Ted . That's too much . ' Ian said grinning at me .
' You should talk to her you know . To avoid all this . ' he continued .
I ignored them both and pushed my food around my plate .
I was about to leave the cafeteria when I saw Nyla walking towards Nymeria . She sat in front of her and they talked like they have met before . I studied them for about a minute until Nymeria and I made eye contact .
She smiled at me then turned back to Nyla .
I stood up from the table and headed to the guys locker room . It was just a few minutes left for basketball practice and I needed to prepare .
' See you soon . ' Ian snickered as I left the table .
He also played basketball but he sucked at it while Tedrey did not do sports .
I shook my head at him and smiled . Then I left .
As I entered the boys locker room, an horrible smell hit me as usual . This place never smelled good . I went to my locker and started to change to my jersey .
I was about to wear my shorts when Ian came in .
' Looks like Nyla convinced your girl to attend basketball practice . ' he murmured as his locker was beside mine .
' How do you even know that ? ' I asked .
' Because I saw them heading to the field before I came in . ' he replied, straightening .
I didn't say anything to him . I just headed to the field alone .
I knew I was going to try to impress her and it might just make things worse for me .
Immediately I got to the field, I scanned the crowd for them . This was how it happened every first day of school every year . Many people come for practice to see who would be captain . I saw them almost immediately . The second line . Nymeria's different shades of brown hair was hard to miss and Nyla was beside her, her blonde hair packed in a ponytail . I looked away from them and turned to my team players .
I have been a shooting guard since junior year but one of the substitutes not main player .
' Gather around players . It's time . ' Coach Dave called .
We all gathered beside the track while he talked to us .
' So this year, all positions are opened . You just have to show me you are ready for it . The substitutes against the main players . No foul play included . Let's begin . ' he spoke the last sentence loudly so everyone could hear him . The crowd cheered as we all moved to the track .
The referee moved to the middle of the track with the ball then one of the players from my team, Ian and another player from the opponent's team, Joe stayed on either side of the referee to tip the ball . As the referee jumps the ball, Ian surprisingly tipped it first . Then he dribbled and passed to me . I squared up and scored a three pointer which had everyone cheering . I looked to Nymeria first and I saw her smiling at me . I smiled back and got my head in the game .
The game continued for a while and I myself was surprised by how many points I was scoring .
My team won with twenty one points and the other team with twelve points .
Nyla, Nymeria and Tedrey cheered so hard .
' Well-done Adolph . ' Coach said to me as I jogged off the track .
I nodded my head at him and he patted my back .
' Oh My God! How did you do that ? You were not that good at basketball last year . ' Nyla exclaimed .
' Practice I guess . Go get ready . I will drop you off at home . ' I replied and turned to Nymeria .
' Hi . I'm Adolph . ' I introduced myself nervously . I have never been nervous around a girl my whole life .
' I know . Everyone kept shouting your name during the game . I'm glad I came . ' She replied, smiling .
' Uhm . Do you need a ride home ? ' I asked running my hands through my hair .
' No actually . I came with my car . Thanks for asking though . ' she replied quietly .
' See you tomorrow yeah ? ' I asked flashing a grin .
' Of course . ' She returned then walked away .
' Damnnn . I don't like girls but I know that was the worst first conversation ever . ' Tedrey said swinging his arm towards me .
' I agree . ' Ian mumbled .
' What did you expect me to say ? Ask her on a date immediately ? ' I returned .
' No but - ' Ian replied then shrugged his shoulders .
' I'm exhausted . it's getting dark and I'm going home . ' I interupted before he could continue .
' See you tomorrow yeah ? ' Ian mimicked .
Tedrey laughed and hit him on the head . I shook my head at both of them and went back to the locker room for my bag .
The locker room was empty already . These people didn't waste anytime . I grabbed my bag and headed to the car park where Nyla was already leaning against my car .
' Where have you been ? I have been standing here all night . ' she snapped .
' Just calm down . ' I replied then pressed a button on my car keys to open the door .
We both got in and strapped our seat belts on .
' Did you know Nymeria from somewhere before ? ' I asked out of curiosity .
' Uhm No actually . I just liked her hair . ' she replied, stammering .
' I know it when you are lying Nyla . ' I drawled then started the car and drove out of school .
' We might have met in a booth camp before . ' she replied and shrugged her shoulders showing she was not entirely sure .
' She moved from Alaska . ' I retorted and took the turn that led to her house .
' Do you like her ? ' she asked changing the subject .
' I can't answer that yet seeing as I just met her . ' I returned then parked in front of her house and looked at her .
' But you are drawn to her . You can't explain it . ' she replied and we stared at each other for a minute .
She broke the eye contact, unstrapped her seat belt and got out of the car .
' See you tomorrow Adolph . ' she called then walked into the house .
What just happened ?
Nyla was right . I was drawn to Nymeria . I couldn't help it . But why did she sound so sure ? I turned the car and drove home thinking in silence .
NymeriaThey were hunting me . Five of them . Chasing after me . I was fast but they were faster . They caught up with me and one of them used his claws to slash my flank . I groaned in pain and rolled down the snow . Then they surrounded me . They all had glowing eyes . Unnatural ones . They were our kind but a different one . I closed my eyes and called to him one last time . But I didn't need to because he was already here . I felt warm gushes of blood spurted across my chest and on my neck about half a second before I saw one of their canine heads roll in front of me . He clawed out the throat of another like he did that in his leisure time . He was so tall . Taller than the others . The remaining three ran away with their tails in between their legs . Then I was up . He stared at me . His eyes an unusual color . His stare was so intense it was like a touch .His face came closer and he touched his temple to mine . He nuzzled my face . Then he growled to the
AdmetosI was on my way to my father's office when I was side tracked by Alastair .' Admetos we need to talk as soon as possible . I sense danger . ' he said to him cutting to the chase .When Alastair sensed danger, he meant real danger and Admetos heart jumped upon hearing this .' Can you give me a few minutes to attend my father ? I will be with you shortly . ' I replied all business as usual . He nodded his head and walked in the direction of my office .I took a deep breath, mentally preparing myself for what my father was about to say before I went in . My father's office was pristine . It was twice the size of mine and we replaced and updated everything there every six months . He has oakwood polished tables, chairs and shelves . My father has always loved art . He was an artist at a time in his life . Therefore the room was filled with various paintings and artworks . Then my mother's pictures and mine were on his table . He acted human s
AdalwolfI was running again but this time it was different . I was running after her . The beige colored wolf . She enjoyed the chase . She was teasing me . She whined as I caught up with her . We nibbled gently on each other's faces to show affection .' You are mine . You know that ? ' I whispered .' Yes I am Yours . Always and Forever . ' She replied in my head .*******I woke up in the woods this time . I was in my pajamas shorts and I was laying on the floor . Something was messing with my head and I could not figure it up .I stood up and tried to walk back home . My mom will be so worried and I was probably late for school .After walking for a few minutes, I realized I was not really far from my house . I got back to road and followed the house numbers home .My mum was already pacing at the front door . I was in for it this morning . How will I explain to her that I woke up in the woods ?I
NymeriaI was about to excuse myself to go and look for Adolph when he came in . He looked like the world just came crashing down . Being a healer, I could sense emotions and his was clogged with sadness and devastation .He looked up then gave Nyla a small smile before he walked to his seat .Immediately he sat down, a whiff of wolfsbane passed across my nostrils . Why will Adolph smell of wolfsbane after being called to the principal's office?As usual, the wolfsbane weakened me . As a wolf, wolfsbane was our weakness . It was a poison specially made for us . To weaken us and if taken in in large quantity, kill us .If Adolph was a wolf, why was the wolfsbane not affecting him ?I dropped my head on the table to fight the effect of wolfsbane on me . I didn't know when I fell into a vision .I was dressed up in jeans and my favorite cashmere sweater . I had a full make up on which was unusual unless I was on a date
Admetos' Any traces of her ? ' I asked mind linking Alastair who was outside searching for the Epsilon .' Still looking .' he replied curtly .The Epsilon already infected three more people . I was waiting for father to call me to scold me . I was sure he will be very furious .Just like magic, he was the one who came into my office at that moment .' Father . ' I called and gave a slight bow .' Admetos, have you found the Epsilon ? ' he asked immediately getting to business .' No but we are getting there . ' I replied .' Is it until it infects the whole pack that you will find it or what ? ' he shouted .' We will find it soon . I promise .' I replied quietly .' I want good news by the end of today . ' He said then walked out of my office .Who could the Epsilon be ? I knew everyone in the pack . Not closely but I could mention them . Who could have turned rogue ? I was still thinking about this when
Adalwolf' Are you still having those nightmares? ' Nyla asked as I drove her home . No one knew about my nightmares apart from my parents . I was surprised how Nyla knew I had them .' How did you know about that ? 'I asked as I took a turn to the ice cream place . She suggested we get ice cream so she could apologize for what happened in the morning .' I overheard your mum telling my dad about it . ' she replied . Well I wasn't surprised . My mum tells Nyla's dad almost everything . I packed in front of the ice cream place and Nyla got down to go and get it .' What flavor do you want ?' she asked leaning against the passenger's door .' Chocolate and Almond . ' I replied and gave her a small smile .She went into the building and I picked up my phone to check for messages . There were two messages from Ian .' Guy, where did you go ? 'And the second one, ' I just saw Nymeria . She saw you with Nyla and the look on he
Admetos' You did well Admetos . ' My father said to me patting my back . It was the first time he was telling me I did well and I wasn't more surprised .' Thank you father . ' I replied quietly and left his office .He might be proud of me but a part of me wasn't proud of myself . I made my first kill . A wolf like me .I sighed and opened the door to my office .Arya was already waiting for me . She raised her head up immediately she saw me come in but she didn't walk to me . She already heard .I walked towards her and sat beside her on the couch .' You killed her . ' she whispered her eyes filled with tears .' Arya - ' I started and tried to touch her cheek . She flinched and scooted away from me .' You killed her and I helped you . ' she whispered louder this time .' I did what I had to do . She was not well . ' I replied quietly .' I always heard you were ruthless but I never believed it . N
Adalwolf' Finally, today is Friday . ' I thought to myself as I tried to stand up from the bed . I could not wait for today to end . I'm tired of school already though it's just been a week . I stood up from the bed and stretched my limbs . I only had two classes today which was a bonus for me . But we were going to have one of those awkward family dinners tonight just like always . Since my parents were not always at home, they picked two Fridays a month for a family dinner where we will tell each other what had been going on in our lives for the week . I was never thrilled doing that but for my mother's sake, I had to put up with it .I entered the bathroom and took a quick shower then dressed for school .I was going to pick Nyla up this morning . We resolved our fight and we are now okay .I grabbed my car keys and headed for the door .I was about to leave when mum called .' Adolph ' I jerked my head and turned to look at her .
