Admetos
I 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 sometimes, much to my surprise .
He was sitting on his chair looking over some papers .
' Good morning Father . ' I called then bowed my head a bit .
' Good morning Admetos . You can have your seat . ' he replied without looking up from his papers .
I sat in front of him and clenched my fists together . I hated that I was scared of whatever news he had to deliver but that was how it has always been for me .
' Your mother and I agreed to make you second beta after the mating ceremony . ' he started and I stared at him in shock . I recovered quickly as he continued .
' With that comes a few responsibilities . You will be dealing with some matters that requires a lot of patience . This is just to test and teach you . I hope you understand ? ' he finished and stared into my eyes . I knew he did that to gauge my reaction . My father at a hundred and twenty years has not aged that much . He looked like he was forty . Our people aged slowly but his was different . He still had everything . The agility, power and speed . I envied him . I wanted to be like him .
' I understand and I am ready . ' I replied quietly .
' Very good . You can leave . Be back at the end of the day . I will explain your responsibilities to you . ' he said and turned his head back to his papers .
' Alastair senses danger . ' I informed him .
He looked up this time understanding the importance . Then he jerked his head in the direction of the door .
' Go see to it then and give me a report when you are back . '
I rose from the chair and walked briskly out of his office .
Alastair was already waiting outside . He pulled me and we went into my office together .
' It is an Epsilon . It is in the pack and it is not taking any time to move around . ' he said immediately we entered the office .
' What ? ' I replied surprised .
Everyone knew it was rare for an Epsilon to turn up in the pack .
An Epsilon is a werewolf whom sorrow has allowed the wolf instincts to supercede the human mind and it was infectious .
Alastair's enhanced danger sense could not allow him to doubt him .
' What do we do now ? ' he asked pacing .
' We track it and capture it . Father already gave me permission . Do you have a scent ? ' I replied moving to the door to gather the trackers .
' I do . It is female . ' he said then followed him out of the office .
' Then you can lead us . ' I replied as I went into Basil's office - my father's beta .
' We need trackers and Epsilon is on lose . ' I said quickly .
He looked surprised for a second but he replied quietly ' Of Course . '
Alastair and I went outside with few trackers trailing behind us .
We took off our clothes seeing as we have to be in our wolf forms in order to track it .
Then we transformed . Changing was never painful for us as some human movies claimed it was . Changing had a divine feeling . It made us feel free . I changed into a mixture of grey and black wolf and Alastair was a big light brown colored wolf . I was taller than him even in my wolf form . He led us towards the direction of the scent and we followed him .
' Should we do a perimeter check first ? ' I asked mind linking him .
' Yes that is wise . ' he replied then I ran forward and he protected my flank and we did a perimeter check .
We were almost finished with the circle we were running in when I caught a scent . Blood .
Alastair ran forward this time . We saw the Epsilon . A she wolf but a very big one with a complete black fur and she had blood trailing down her mouth . Five wolves were in the snow wounded . She already infected them . She looked up at us and when she caught sight of myself and Alastair, she ran .
' Call for back up and capture the infected ones . Do not let them get away . ' I instructed the three trackers that came with us . Then Alastair and I ran after the Epsilon but she was faster . Unusually fast and we lost her . She also masked her scent by rolling in the snow . Alastair and I went back to the pack house .
My father was already waiting at the front door .
' You lost her didn't you? ' it was a statement not a question . He was rubbing my defeat in my face .
We changed back to our human forms and some guards passed us a pair of jeans .
Then I looked into my father's eyes .
' We will find her . ' I vowed .
Nymeria After a whole week of missing school, she was more than ready to go back. She missed the environment, the bussing of students and most especially seeing Adolph in class. Something has changed. She could feel it deep in her bones but whatever happened could not been shown to her. The person cloaked their decision and the outcome. She sighed deeply and went into the bathroom to brush her teeth. She had to dress extra special today. Seeing as she missed her year book picture last week, she was going to have to take it today. She brushed her teeth and flossed while ruminating on what to wear. The she got into the tub, washed her hair and soaked for some minutes before she got out. She already saw a vision of her year book picture going well while she was in the tub and this was the best advantage of being a seer. She knew exactly what she would wear. She smiled to herself and her wolf was unnecessarily happy and restless this morning for a reason which she knew naught. She picked
AdalwolfI was enraged and full of anger . I have never felt this way before and it was driving me mad . I could feel his face caving in as I punched him but I didn't stop .Until she called my name .I jerked my head up to look at her . That was when I came back to myself . I looked at my bloody hands and the man I was beating up all because hit one of the girls' butt and she didn't like it . I looked to the girl who I was defending and she looked at me with a mixture of fear and shock in her eyes .' Stand up boy . ' Nyla's father said pulling me up and taking me outside with Nymeria following us closely .' What happened out there- ' I started but Nymeria quickly put in ' wasn't your fault Adolph . '' I have never felt so angry . It was like I was not in control of myself . ' I explained still confused .' Let's take you home . ' Nymeria said and pulled me towards the car .I gently removed her hands from mine .' I came with my car . I need time to process this . '' Then you sho
NymeriaThey were coming . They found us . I needed to warn them but I could not move . The portion was really strong, keeping me locked inside my mind . I needed to break it but I was too weak . So I let go as it swept me into the darkness again .* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *I felt hands at both my sides trying to jerk me awake .' Nymeria ' the voice shouted but it sounded so far away . I needed to wake up . To help . To warn them .' Nymeria ' I heard a familiar voice call clearly .' Mom ' I whispered in reply then I saw her face . Her warm smile .' Mom ' I called again my eyes filling with tears .' My sweet baby . You need to wake up . ' she replied her hand brushing my hair away from my face .' No mom . Not anymore . I have you . '' They need you Nymeria . You need to wake up . ' she replied using her thumb to wipe my tears away .' But I need you . '' He needs you . You must not leave him again . '' Mom ''
AdmetosI woke up disoriented. Then last night came back rushing to me. I slept off working under the pile of work left for me when I was away . I needed Alastair to sort out some stuff with me but he won't even look at me because I imprinted on Athena .I sighed deeply and picked up the papers that fell on the floo. I was still picking them when I heard a knock .'Come on in. ' I called and continued picking up the papers.My mum came in with a large smile on her face.' Hello my boy. ' she chirped.She must be really happy . I've never seen her this happy .' Hi mom . What's going on ? ' I asked placing the papers I picked on the table .' You found the card . Your brother's ID . ' she replied her eyes twinkling .Oh. This was what it was about .' I did . Is that why you are so happy? '' Yes of course . It means he was here for a brief period . I don't know how but he was here and your father has decided we have to go visit him . ' she explained her smile still stretched across he
AdalwolfNymeria's rejection felt like a pain in my gut that wouldn't go away. I couldn't handle it but I still had to go to school. I dragged myself from bed I went to the bathroom for a quick shower . By the time I got out, my mum was already in my room .'Mom . Some privacy please . ' I said then walked up to her .' Nothing you have fazes me . ' she replied smiling . I shook my head and she handed me two insulin injections .' don't forget and be good at school . ' she said then went out of the room .I dropped the injections in my bag and started dressing up .Today was year book picture day at school so I made a little effort to look good .I finished up and carried my bag then went out of the room . My mum was at the kitchen counter . Very unusual .' Mom, are you not going to work? ' I said as I grabbed a cereal bowl and spoon .' I will . Just going in a little late . ' she replied but I knew she was lying .' What is wrong ? '' Nothing is wrong . I just want to make you bre
NymeriaI could not see anything . It's like having your sight taken away from you but this time the inner sight . Ever since I tried to save Adolph with my powers, I could not see the future anymore . I was weak . The weakness stuck to me like a second skin .I couldn't sleep and I couldn't get anything done .School will have to wait too .I crept from my hiding place in the closet as the morning light made me weaker .I needed to see someone . The only person who could help me was Niko . Nyla should be in school by now so she wouldn't know .I got into the bathroom and soaked myself in the tub filled with water and the incense oils my mum used to use to meditate .I stayed there for about an hour before I got out . I brushed my hair and dressed quickly .Surprising, my father was not awake .I crept out silently and drove to Niko's house .The traffic was light so it didn't take too much time for me to get there .I parked across the road and knocked on the door .No one answered .
