I was on all fours . I could feel blood trickling down from my wounded ear to my fur . I can't give up I have to fight . I looked at him . His bland grey fur was matted with blood . I knew I already wounded him . I must go straight for his jugular vein . That will be the end . I was about to strike when I felt her presence . I turned and saw her . Everything else melted away . Her fur was beige in color .A bit of sandy but rich brown and her scent drove me mad. She was beautiful and she was mine . She growled at me . I knew the meaning even though I should not .
' Do not hurt him . '
I was still thinking about this when I saw him coming towards her . His mouth opened and his teeth ready to tear her apart .
I snarled and lunged for his throat .
********
I woke up suddenly . The same nightmare again . I groaned and tried to stand up from my bed but I was too tired to move .My parents have taken me to see almost all the therapists in Aspen but they still could not find out what was wrong causing the nightmares . I was tired of it too but I could not do anything about it so I just accepted it as it came . The shock wore off and I headed to the bathroom . I needed to get ready for school . It was first day of senior year and I was not exactly looking forward to it . I was looking forward to the basketball drills though . I was hoping to be captain by the end of this week . I looked to the mirror . I had unusual eyes . All my friends said it . A very light green with dark brown surrounding it's orbs . Seeing as my dad had grey eyes and my mum brown eyes I did not get it from them .
I pushed these thoughts away and I washed my face . I took a quick shower and dressed in jeans and any shirt I could easily find . I never made a fuss about first day in school . Not that I didn't like school but I just don't think it is necessary . I ran a comb through my black hair and carried my bag pack .
As I came out of the room, I met my mum in front of my room . Her hand hanging . She was about to knock .
' Good morning mum . ' I said grinning .
' Good morning Adolph . You are up in time . Surprising . ' she replied and gave me a peck on my cheek .
' I'm off to work . Your father already left . I made some toast and tea . It's on the kitchen table . Go to school in time and I love you . ' she rambled on as she searched her bag for her car keys .
' It's on the living room shelf mom . ' I said to her .
' You are a life saver . Thank you baby and Bye . ' she replied and left for the living room .
This was a normal thing for us every morning and I was used to it .
I went into the kitchen to eat the breakfast she left for me . My parents were the ones in the category of Very rich but no time for their only child . The weird thing was that a part of me was not bothered .
I grabbed the plate of toast and brought out a bottle of orange juice from the fridge . I did not have time to eat at home so I was going to eat on my way to pick up my female cousin and best friend, Nyla . She was my mum's elder brother's daughter . We have been together since we were very little so we were very close . I grabbed my car keys from the living room shelf and enables the alarm system . Then I locked the door and went into the garage . I drive an Hyundai Elantra . It was not my ideal car but I loved it anyways . I got in, started the car and headed towards Nyla's house with a piece of toast in my mouth .
Unfortunately, I got stuck in traffic for about half an hour . My phone rang and I saw Nyla's name . She was probably calling to ask where I was . I picked it up and put it on loud speaker .
' Adolph! Where are you we are going to be late on the first day of school ' she shouted .
' So no good morning greetings . ' I replied calmly .
' I am not joking . Get here now or I will kick your ass . ' she shouted again .
' Calm down . I am on my way just stuck in traffic . ' I replied as I took a turn leading to her house .
' I can see your car down the street . ' she said are voice calm .
' How can you see that ? it's still far away . You and your super senses . ' I joked .
' Shut up and get here fast . ' she replied and hung up .
I got to her house in less than a minute . She was dressed in a brown short skirt, strappy white small top and high heeled boots with a jacket across her arm .
' Okay . You are really taking this first day personal . ' I said to her as she entered the car and strapped her seat belt on .
' What can I say ? This is what I do . ' she replied smiling . I gave her a look and turned the car around . Then we headed for school .
Nyla's house was close to school but she still enjoyed me picking her up . She was telling about how hot guys were going to resume today and she was going to catch the eyes of several of them . Her voice faded away as we entered the school . Tons of freshers and girls in skimpy skirts that wind could raise . My eyes were everywhere .
' Adolphhhhh ! ' Nyla screamed and I turned to her holding my ears .
' Have you been listening to me at all ? ' she asked her face stern . Oh oh . I was about to reply when she cut me off .
' Never mind . I know you have not . Before we go in, have you taken your insulin injection ? '
I had Diabetes type one so I needed insulin to be able to function everyday . Nyla administered it for me almost every time.
' No I have not . It's in the car safe in front of you . ' I replied suddenly calm . I hated that injection . Anytime I took it, it feels as if my insides are boiling .
She brought out the injection . Then I raised my shirt up and turned my hand to her . She cleaned the spot with cotton wool and alcohol and pushed the needle into my vein . I closed my eyes but I knew when she pushed the liquid into my body . I immediately felt weak and I dropped to the car seat . She was done in a minute . When I opened my eyes, she was looking at me with sympathy .
' I'm fine . ' I said in a low voice . She nodded her head and got out of the car immediately . She didn't like the smell of the injection so I didn't expect her to wait .
I sat in the car for about five minutes to gather my strength before I got out .
I locked my car and went into the school building .
My friends were already waiting for me at our normal spot .
' Looks like you missed first period . ' Ian snickered .
' Today is not exactly going well for me . ' I replied as we bumped fists .
' Well, there is something called second period . ' Tedrey put in and gave me a hug . I was not surprised . He's gay .
' Let's get to class then . ' I replied and we all walked to class for the second period of the day . The worst class to be in . History .
Nyla was already sitting in the front seat . She gave me a small wave as I passed beside her .
I sat in front of Ian who occupied the last seat . A girl I didn't know sat at my left and the seat in front of me was empty .
' Okay . The class is a bit full this year . May I ask that you all turn off your phones as we start the class ? ' the teacher started and everyone murmured . I brought out my phone from my pocket and switched it off .
Everyone was still murmuring when she entered the class . The scent felt familiar and when I looked up and saw her I felt as if I have seen her somewhere before but I could not remember .
' Okay everyone . This is a new student who just moved from Alaska . Would you like to introduce yourself ? ' the teacher asked turning to her .
' I'm Nymeria Adonis . Please call me Nym . ' she said while her eyes went round the class .
' Great . Please find a comfortable seat . ' the teacher said to her then turned back to the class .
She was coming towards the seat in front of me . Then our eyes met . Something weird happened and she opened her mouth in shock . She recovered quickly and sat in front of me . Her scent intrigued me . I tried to concentrate on what the teacher was saying but I failed .
This year did not look promising for me .
AdmetosI felt him punch my face . Pain burst across my cheek and I used that pain to channel my anger . I kicked him in the chest . He tried to punch me again but I blocked it . Then I twisted his arm and heard the crunching of bones but I didn't stop . I brought him to his knees and kicked him in the stomach until he puked blood . Then I punched him and his head swung back . I was about to give him another punch when I heard my mother's voice .' Admetos! That is enough training for one day . ' she shouted from across the training ground .I dropped the man I was training with surprised by my own strength . I apologized and headed to my mother .' You almost killed him . What is wrong with you ? ' she asked .' I'm sorry mom . It won't happen again . ' I replied just for her to let me off the hook .' You said that the last time . Your father wants to see you . ' she said sternly and walked back towards the pack house .I foll
Adalwolf' 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
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
