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 Arya came in . I immediately felt calm . She carried an aura with her . I could not be angry or anxious whenever I'm with her .
' Admetos . ' she called moving closer to me .
' Arya, I am sorry I have not seen you in a while . I have been very busy with pack business . Will you forgive me ? ' I said and pulled her to my lap .
All wolves loved their mates sitting in their laps . Before I met mine, I thought it was too much affection to show in public but now I could not help myself . I do it anytime she's near . It is another way of claiming her .
' There is nothing to forgive my love . ' she replied touching my cheek .
I ran my temple against hers and pulled her head to my chest .
' How do you plan on finding the Epsilon ? ' she asked toying with the hem of my shirt .
' I am still hoping Alastair can catch a new scent . There is no other way and I need to find her today . ' I replied smoothening my hand down her hair .
' An Epsilon gets turned by sorrow right ? ' she asked looking up at me .
' Yes . A mate or a pup's death . ' I replied .
' If we have lost someone in the pack, won't it be recorded ? You should probably start from there . ' she murmured quietly .
I thought about this for a moment and saw she was right .
' Arya! You are a genius . ' I cried . She smiled at me and I bent my head to pull her lips into a deep kiss .
' Thank you . ' I murmured against her mouth .
' Anything for you . ' she replied breathy .
I stood up and went for the folder that recorded deaths . I traced the death of mates first . Then I found the most recent . One of the pack elders . Beowulf, the intelligent . It was a month and half ago . Enough time for a werewolf to turn to an Epsilon .
I mind linked Alastair .
' I found where she might be . Where are you ? ' I asked .
' On my way back . I will wait for you in front of the pack house . ' he replied .
I took of my shirt and Arya immediately raised hands to cover her eyes .
' Don't do that love . You will be seeing more than this soon . ' I said to her grinning .
She removed her hands from her eyes and giggled .
' I have to go hunt down an Epsilon . See you when I'm back ? ' I asked bending down to look at her .
' Yes .Be Safe . ' she replied quietly and gave me a quick kiss on the lips before she scurried out . I wonder if she will even get used to me .
I pushed these thoughts aside as I walked out of the pack house to meet Alastair .
I got rid of my jeans at the front of the house . Alastair was still in his wolf form so I shifted to join him .
Then I led him to Beowulf's house .
' Admetos, this place is familiar . I feel like I have been here before but I can't remember . ' Alastair said through the mind link .
I felt the same way but I didn't say anything .
We changed back to our human forms and put on the jeans we held in our mouth when we were in our wolf forms .
I walked towards the door and knocked on the door .
Surprisingly Athena, Alastair's supposed mate answered the door .
' Athena . ' Alastair called his face showing shock .
' It is not her . ' I said turning to Alastair .
' Where is your mother ? ' I asked turning back to Athena . Her eyes immediately flashed wolf .
' No . You cannot take her . ' she said fiercely .
' Where is your mother ? I won't ask you again . ' I said masking any form of emotion .
She shook her head not wanting to let go .
I jerked my head to Alastair to go inside and search .
The back up I mind linked for on our way were already here, surrounding the house .
' Admetos, please don't do this . She is not herself . ' Athena begged .
' She already infected fifteen people in two days . Half of them will not recover . They will have to be burnt alive . Do you know the implication of that ? ' I asked her my voice laced with anger .
' She didn't know . ' she whispered .
' You know the rules Athena . She lost her mate and she cannot live with that . '
Alastair came out dragging a cage . Looks like Athena caged her own mother . She was snarling and clawing at her cage .
' She is already too far gone . It has to happen here . ' I said to Alastair . He gulped and nodded his head . I understood his pain but I could not ease it .
' If you do this, I will call upon Zeus . ' Athena screamed .
' I'm sorry . ' I said to her .
Then I took off my jeans and shifted . Alastair opened the cage and I moved towards the Epsilon . She was calm now . She knew she was going to die . This would not be one of my best moments, but I didn't have a choice . I raised my right paw and clawed her throat out .
Athena's scream rent the air . Alastair moved to hold her but he was too late . She already shifted to a raven and flew away .
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 .
AdalwolfNymeria dragged me to the first class for the day which was Literature . She sat at my left hand side and gave me a bewitching smile . I picked literature as one of my courses because I always had a thing for books . Crime related and mystery solving . Romance was not my thing .Tedrey came in and sent a knowing smile our way and sat on the second column . He was a sucker for romance books . Ian on the other hand never read anything . Even school books were a problem . He was a jock, Tedrey was a nerd and i was somehow a mixture of both .The teacher for Literature, Miss Forbes came into the class few minutes after we already settled . The senior year male were always drooling after her because she was the hottest teacher in school . Long legs and a plump ass .' good morning class . she said sharply as she dropped her notes on the table .' Good morning . ' the class chorused in reply .' We will be discussing Shakespea
NymeriaI woke up by eight am, unusually early for a Saturday morning . I was going on a second date with Adolph and I needed to prepare . I still had chores to do anyways .I cleaned out my room first . I cleaned the bathroom, the closet and the floor . I cleared my vanity mirror and cleaned it with a mirror cleanser to make it neat . I vacuumed the house, washed the dishes and did the laundry . My father was still asleep . He was never up early on a Saturday morning .By the time I was done cleaning, it was already some minutes past nine am . I made pancakes and eggs for myself and my dad then went back to my room to pick out my clothes . Adolph already texted me this morning telling me to dress in comfortable clothes . I picked out white ripped jean shorts with a black long sleeved crop top . That should do it .I went into the bathroom to wash my hair and take a shower .I was done in half an hour but I knew I would have
Admetos ' I still can't find her . I lost her scent yesterday . ' Alastair said with a hint of frustration in his voice . ' It's been three days . He's dying . You need to find her . Please . ' Arya begged and let out a loud sob . ' I will . Did the healer say anything else ? ' ' She said today is probably out last day to keep him alive . The wounds are leaking with something silvery . ' Arya replied wiping her tears with the back of her hands . ' Mercury . ' Alastair mumbled, the realization of this dawning on him . ' What's that ? ' ' Wolf poisoning . A very powerful one . It's a miracle he is still alive . He must be drawing strength from something . ' Arya was about to ask for further explanation when Amarok came in . They immediately bowed their heads to greet him . ' How is he ? ' he asked looking between them . ' Not good . I will go in search of Athena again today . ' ' You should start n
NymeriaThe car ride back was silent . I will give any amount of money to know what was going through Adolph's mind . I had to lie to him that I once volunteered at a health center but he was not stupid . The pain in the leg was completely gone . What health center did that ?He parked in front of my house without saying a word . No goodbye . No nothing .I held on to the little pride I had left and got out of the car .I was about to close the door when I heard my name .' Nymeria . ' he called .' Goodnight Adolph . ' I quickly said .' I think we should stop seeing each other for a while . ' he muttered .It was as if I stopped breathing . It was almost the same thing as him rejecting me as his mate .' What ? ' I managed to say .' I'm just saying we should stop hanging out for a while . I need to figure some things out . '' Is it because of tonight ? '' Not only tonight . I just need sometime
NymeriaThe car ride back home with Nyla was awkward and tense . I had to cut our shopping short after she revealed she was Adolph's mate . That can't be possible seeing as I saw him in advance . I have been dreaming about him since forever . I felt our mating bond in my bones .And the only person that could confirm if this was true or not didn't even know he was a werewolf yet .' You missed the turn to my house . ' Nyla snickered .' Do you live alone ? ' I asked as I reversed the car .' No . I live with my father . '' And he knows about this 'destiny' ? '' Of course he told me about it . ' she said confidently .' Then I will like to meet him . ' I replied . I had to know if she was saying the Truth . If Nyla was actually Adolph's mate, then it will mean I didn't see everything even as one that sees the future .I took the right turn to her house and parked in her garage .' My father will be thrilled
