Wolfed Chapter 20
“Uh , this is Riverdale, yes?” I nodded to confirm the girl’s question. “I’m looking for a city hall that looks like this. It says the photo was taken in Riverdale but I can't seem to find it.” She pushed a printed copy of a court house at me.I leaned over to examine the picture and froze. That was my hometown’s court house! I wasn’t about to let a pack enter my alpha’s territory. I snapped my attention back up to the girl and she shied away at the sudden movement.“That’s in Horsedale,” I lied as convincingly as I could. Horsedale was three hours away. To me that was still too close.“No it’s not,” the boy with purple eyes joined the girl at the counter. He had to be six feet tall. I didn’t let his stern glare intimidate me. My protectiveness of my pack overruled any fear I did or should feel.“Then I can’t help you,” I returned to working on the hangers angry that the boy and girl still stood there.“Oh, yes you can. I know what you are.” I glanced sideways at the boy seeing the sil

I jiggled the handle. It was unlocked. Removing my hand, I contemplated my next move. If I left, who knows what I may not learn. If I entered, maybe I could see if they’d truly left and search for anything suspicious. Another part of me was warning me that it was all a trap. I was playing into their hand but as a lower ranking pack member, I could take the blows. If I could fight a rabid wolf almost twice my size then I could handle this, right? Deciding, I cracked open the door. It wasn’t empty. Suitcases were piled against a wall and a cup of four toothbrushes sat on the sink.The two beds were messy and the lamp in between them was still on. Walmart plastic bags were strewn across a circular table with candy wrappers practically hiding the bags from sight.I wrinkled my nose at the sight. I didn’t even want to look in the bathroom.Quickly, I searched the room. Under the bed, covers and mattresses, behind the tv, VCR and DVD slots and amongst the garbage around the table. I wasn’t

There! A lynx. It stood on a rock almost completely blending in. It was staring at me in challenge. I twitched my right ear. There were lynx here? I waited for it to make its exit and it vanished up the mountain side.My hackles lowered and I sat, realizing how numb my paws were. I lifted one to examine it. A tad sore and red but thankfully not cut. I cleaned each paw as best as I could and rested under a tree-which didn’t really help keep me dry. Before I knew it, my head was on my paws and my eyes drooped shut.A bird chirped, awaking me. I yawned, extending my front legs. While it felt like I’d slept for hours I could tell by the position of the sun that I’d only slept thirty minutes.“Dang it,” I stood, all my joints stiff. I lost precious time. I should rest in my den, not here. Still a bit tired, I decided to walk instead of run. My thoughts slowly turned to Alpha, Draugluin and Lyall. Oh, what would they think? My steps slowed but I made them move faster. Was I scared? That was

Draugluin , the next alpha, was trusting me to keep silent which was a strange mixed of terrifying and exciting. I nodded slowly and solemnly.He led me behind the first, big boulder and wedged behind were two other boulders with a steel door. With great expertise, Draugluin used something in his hand to pick the lock and opened the door with ease. I searched behind me before being ushered inside, just now realizing that he'd picked neutral colored clothes to better camouflage us from any unwanted attention.It was damp inside and I could hear water dripping somewhere within. My eyes quickly adjusted to the dark and I saw crates come into view along with an unlit lamp and large, wooden chest.Draugluin sat on a crate before lighting the lamp. The flame gave the place a soft glow but cast foreboding shadows. I hurried and sat on the crate across from Draugluin . Not even a creak from the wood.“I’ve been doing research for a long time now,” Draugluin whispered. “There’s been something d

“Thank you, Alpha,” I nodded my thanks to Alpha who now had his nose in the book again.“You are dismissed,” he waved a hand and Draugluin shut the doors.There was silence as Draugluin , Smiley Ermengarde and I just stood there looking at each other. “I’d better go,” was Draugluin ’s reply before he made a quick exit. I watched him leave with too much interest. Maybe it was because of our earlier conversation in the cave or how he slowly seemed aloof again now that we were home.Ermengarde suddenly exhaled and took in big gulps of air. “Are you alright,” I bent down, my hand hovering over her back unsure of what to do.“I feel so nervous around boys,” she began laughing as if it were the funniest thing she’d heard of. All I did was blink. Twice.“You feel nervous around guys?”“Boys our age specifically,” Ermengarde straightened up with a smile before extending her hand. “I’m Ermengarde, a Theta.” I took her hand and shook it. “You’re quite popular around here now. Some people barely
Wolfed Chapter 25
A werewolf heals faster than the normal human due to our wolf’s strong metabolism, hand in hand with human metabolism. This generates a somewhat natural, rapid healing process but the disease easily spreads and can cause so much pain to Freki, she will scream and cry for hours. Our pack doctor has experimented much with medicines in the past and with the medicinal technology of today and has come up with a very strong medication to help Freki that comes in two folds: a pill and a very smelly, gooey ointment to put over the open wounds. The pill she takes in the morning, preferably during or after breakfast, and one at night. The ointment has to be applied to any areas on her body that looked as if the curse might begin to manifest. Sometimes we just applied it to areas on her body must susceptive to the curse. When she was younger, I’d have a timer to wake me up to apply it during the night since she was younger and could only have smaller doses, but more frequently.It is too dangerou

“Well, he thinks so,” Ermengarde drooped her head and I could clearly imagine her ears hanging low and her tail tucked between her legs. “Last year he saved me from a semi that swerved off the road and I guess you could say I looked at him differently. While everything was the same as usual, I felt different around him. Lighter and happier. I suppose I’m infatuated with him but he’s three years older than me. A sophomore girl at sixteen in love with a nineteen year old graduate who live in the same house?! It's like a storybook drama. I began avoiding him here at home and only really see him on our shopping trips. I still feel like I’m in heaven when I’m around him but I’m...scared.”I blinked. That was the longest, most deep talk I’d ever heard anyone admit to me and I’d only known her for a little under two days. This girl was an extrovert and very trusting. But why trust me, a Theta who was temporarily kicked out of the pack?“Well,” I rubbed my neck unsure of how to answer. “I don’

“That’s not reassuring.” I turned my back to the hall and lifted the flap of the paper. They were really amazingly complicated symbols; Draugluin must have taken his time writing it as detailed as he could. There were even some missing symbols as if I'd scratched them off in the fight.“This isn’t Latin,” I smiled, “or Chinese or Japanese or really any language I’ve seen written down on paper. It could be encrypted with numbers and words of other languages. And this one looks like a musical note.” I pointed to something that resembled a whole rest.“Something tells me this will take longer than I thought it would.” Draugluin scratched his head.“How long did you think it would take,” I asked.“About a month,” Draugluin admitted, “but with all my responsibilities, my free time isn’t very frequent. Not only that but I can get suddenly interrupted at any time. My father would be furious if he had any inclination that I hadn’t dropped this ‘foolish’ venture. He feels it is too dangerous fo

Draugluin strapped my clothes tightly around me. We'd have to go the speed of sound in order to get back on track. The two of us stretched some before charging at full speed. The ground rose and dipped. While running, I got a to see a flash of police car lights. Two nice looking cars had had a head on collision. Out of three police officers, two were separating the two angry drivers who were shouting violently at one another. One gentleman was in a suit while the other was in casual clothing. The man in the suit looked up but I doubted he saw anything but the dim outline of wolves darting away.Soon, the landscape changed drastically. The forest turned into fields. We kept moving at a fast pace but made sure no one would see us. Draugluin and I reached the edge of Paris by sunset. We quickly morphed and dressed before trying to casually walk through the mass of bodies. The traffic wasn't too busy but the sidewalks were congested. Young couples smiled and chatted, a mother and daughte

We both dug in, yanking away the outer skin to tear into the meaty flesh. I barely chewed. All the energy I had exerted in running and the adrenaline pumping through me to keep me going had slowly made me hungry. Though I could have made it to America without eating, I was glad that this small feast allowed some rejuvenation."We'll have to bury this as discreetly as we can," Draugluin paused after getting a drink from the stream. "It will be evidence for Alpha Jon about our location if he passes through this area.""Won't he see a giant mound of dirt with poorly placed grass lumps covering it?""Not if we bury it in the slope. That's where I caught it. There's actually a little outcropping not too far from here. I was above the deer and dropped on him before he saw. It was an easy kill. We can dig into the dirt towards the bottom of the slope which will look more natural.""We'll drag blood through the grass." I felt like Miss Negative."It's the best we can do for right now. Our onl

"But-""Keep watch," Draugluin interjected. He poked his head into the dandelion-yellow lit sidewalk. I watched the back of his head swivel side to side, his muzzle peeking out from behind the thick furs of his side. Though it was spring, Draugluin still had his winter coat and it was thick and bushy like a beard but soft as bunny's fur. I wanted to snuggle my face into it. If only my fur was the same.When Draugluin crossed the street, I leaned my head out and sniffed the air while glaring intensely in every direction. My fur wasn't beautiful. At least I didn't think so. It was rough and striped with a bright, neon rainbow that didn't lay even on me at all. My green stripe was usually thicker than my pink and purple while the blue looked like a fading hair coloring. They red and yellow strips were the only consistent colors that weren't too thick or thin or too bright. I never outwardly complained because I had it easy. My curse was so tame compared to others' like Freki. My eyes dr

I walked up and pressed my body against his. Touch was very important for wolves and I felt that, despite our rank difference, Draugluin needed some sort of comforting. I could feel Mozzy's muscles tense then relax before tensing again. "It's okay," I reassured him. "Let's go but using our heads.""Alright." He stepped onto the road for a couple seconds. "We go straight for half a mile then turn right, continuing on for another two miles."After he returned to the cover of the trees, we took off. Now that I had calmed Mozzy, I mulled over what he said to me. What was bugging me wasn't the deadly poison that could be released on us. Draugluin had been taking poison over the years for immunity? Did Jun and Maengun also do it? Did Alpha Mother? What were the effects of starting to take poisons over time as children into adults?'I don't know anything about Alpha or his mate and sons. What's really going on within the pack?' I peeked at Draugluin before dodging a tree that I nearly kissed

“What do we do,” I whispered to Mozzy. With him practically covering me, I couldn’t see what was going on behind me. I almost whined in fear.Why was I acting like a frightened pup? Perhaps I didn’t want all the hard work Draugluin and I had done in Paris ruined in an instant. Maybe I didn’t want to lose the taste of freedom.There was a crunch of boots against gravel and dragging steps. One pair was getting closer to us. I trembled. I couldn’t move! The steps were coming closer!“Je peux les sentir,” it was Bayard and I hoped he wouldn’t call Alpha Jon over. The steps slowed then stopped. There was a shuffling of denim before I heard the pant of a wolf. I felt the urge to see what Bayard looked like as a wolf but I couldn’t turn. “Alpha Jon, avez-vous trouvé quelque chose?”“Non,” the alpha called back.“Merde!” Bayard snarled and...stepped down into the bushes!I shut my eyes and focused on taking deep, slow breathes. In. Out. I tried to swallow but the book was pressed against my th

than expected, Alpha had to bribe the few construction workers and carpenters of the pack that, if they could create a new, large extension of the house in the back left side before the pups were six months old, the workers wouldn't have to pay their monthly pack contribution for an entire year. The men were already planning what they would do with the extra money they'd have left over. One said he'd take his mate on a long needed vacation for the both of them. If only an alpha could take a vacation every once in a while.Alpha Mother came in with Alpha's hot mug of coffee accompanied with a side of cheese, crackers and sliced salami. Her quick barefoot steps were silent on the red, velvet carpet. After setting the tray down, she sighed. "Have you heard anything from Alpha Jon?""Not yet," Alpha took a swig of the coffee while his mate sat in one of the chairs before his desk, fiddling with the tray she'd brought all the goods on. The tapping against the bronze made Alpha's ears itch

I didn't retaliate. Now wasn't the time to squabble, playfully or no. When we reached the first level, there were two, very familiar faces standing in our path: Julias and Bayard. "Hi," Bayard sneered and tried to jump me, but Draugluin was already in his wolf form, sending the boy flying against a wall. Bayard rubbed his head but was ready to fight once more. Julias was already leaping at Mozzy, trying to tear into him but he wasn't big enough to take Draugluin down. Bayard was about to go into wolf form when I punched him down again. "Aw, did the wittle baby get a booboo? Poor baby." I taunted him to keep him distracted. Draugluin needed to take down battle experienced Julias. "You American rat. Why don't you go rot in sewers where not even the scavengers will feed on your flesh?!""What's that reference," I ducked a punch, readying my arms to block a knee. I winced as I blocked, but not from the impact. The corner of the book dug into my stomach when I ducked so low."Out of sha

Chapter 59
It was no longer common for new wolves to integrate into the Grey pack, but so many wolves had entered in the past that mating within the pack was safe. Most of the wolves weren’t related by blood. But if Lyall’s parents met and married for love, why were they pushing him to be with Marigold?Lyall slowed and laughed, enjoying the rain that slithered down his body. How had his mind changed from Lucian to his parents trying to force him into an arranged marriage? Could it have been a distraction his mind set up?“You might get sick.”Lyall peered upwards to see Marigold holding a striped black, blue and white umbrella. She looked irritated.“I’m sorry. Did Alpha send you out here? How'd you get in this school with the gate closed?” Lyall shook his hair, hands on his hips. Why hadn't he heard her coming? He would have at least heard the rain bouncing off the umbrella.“I was looking for you and peeked out the window. I thought to myself that you were an idiot, running in the rain, but

Draugluin was shaking his head. I couldn’t tell if it was disapproval or disbelief. Whichever it was, he didn’t hesitate to break up the conversation by stepping on the treadmill and changing the setting. Julianna quickly restarted her stopwatch as Draugluin started running.The show-off didn’t follow my plan at all. Instead he ran at a steady jog for fifteen minutes. Then he ran fast for ten minutes before slowing and stopping.“Twenty-five minutes and fifty-nine seconds,” Julianna lifted the watch to Alpha Jon’s eye level. He didn’t look happy at the results but didn't complain like he did with me. Hopefully he did consider the possibility that we were slightly out of shape; or doubting the Grey pack's ability.Draugluin sent me a grin. He was looking down on my tactic! His didn't seem to be much better. I balled my fists, feeling my nails dig impressions into my skin but I wouldn’t squeeze so hard as to draw blood. That would be annoying to explain and take care of. Draugluin gentl
