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 .
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 .
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
