"Luna Amber, I have delivered the blankets like you asked," said Dan while giving a slight bend to show his submission.
"Thank you Daniel, you may go" she replies while giving Daniel a warm smile "And tell Samantha its rude to eavesdrop"
Suddenly the door opens and I almost fall forward into the room. If it hadn't been for Danny who caught me in his arms just in time.
Now don't blame me, I didn't mean to eavesdrop.
"Yeah right" says Snow with a slight snort. How in the world can a wolf snort?
"Sam! Really? Eavesdropping?" Dan says with a look of total embarrassment.
"I'm so sorry Luna," I quickly rush out while bowing my head "It won't happen again"
Danny closes the door and pull's me down the hallway. He's walking so fast that he's basically dragging me down the corridor.
"Hey! Let go will you"
As if he's suddenly coming out of a trance, he suddenly let's go of my arm.
"What was all that about?" he asks me with an angry face.
"Whoa, brother chill"
"I'm here trying to get on the Luna's good side and all your doing is trying to mess it up" he says with a glare. I think he's on his period. "I'm sorry alright?" I say to him "But I eavesdrop all the time, so why are you so angry this time?"
"That's Tiffany's mum Sam, I need to be on her good side"
"Why?"
"Huh?"
"You heard me," I say as I glare up at him. "What aren't you telling me?"
"Can we just go, already?" he says while looking a bit uncomfortable and shy.
"Are you blushing?"
"What? No"
I burst out in laughter while clutching my stomach.
"Sam can you get up?"
I laugh even harder as I see his embarrassed face. By now people are starring at us as they pass by.
"Sam"
I ignore him as I continue to laugh.
"Sam I'm serious"
By now my face is red from laughing so hard.
"What is happening here?" asks a rough voice.
I instantly stop laughing and stand up from the floor the minute I recognize the voice. How the hell did I not feel the presence of the Alpha?
"Nothing Alpha," says Danny "we were just about to leave" I silently send Danny a thankful smile for having my back.
Wait, is this another of his 'trying to impress' moments? I mean, that's Tiffany's dad after all.
The Alpha sends Danny a stern look before heading into the direction we were just coming from.
"That was a close one" I say as I breathe out a sigh in relief.
"Really Sam? Really?"
"What?"
He's definitely on his period. He looks at me with an annoyed expression.
"You just did it again, idiot," he says raising his voice slightly. Huh?
"What are you on about?" I asked puzzled by his unexpected outburst
"First her mum and now her dad? Seriously?"
Was he seriously accusing me of laughing right now? Cant a girl laugh?
Jeez
"Look lover boy, her dad isn't going to dislike you just because I was acting the way normal people do," I say giving him a glare "I laughed, so what?"
"It's not mature Sam" Wow
"Who are you right now?"
"What do you mean who am I?" he asks with an expression like I just slapped him
"Ever since you started liking that alpha girl you've been different" I tell him
"Yeah Sam, it's called growing up, you should try it sometime"
Did he really just say that to me? He knows why I prefer to act childish. He knows...
"You know what," I say with a glare "I think I'm going to go picking berries on my own"
Without waiting for a response, I spin on my heel and make my way out of the pack house and into the forest. Basket in hand and emotions out of place, I head straight in the direction that will lead me to the berries.
My eyes water and begin to sting as I the conversation with Danny plays over and over again in my head. Why would he say that to me? He knows how sensitive that topic is to me.
No, I'm not exaggerating…at least not that much
"Maybe you should pay more attention to your surroundings right now Sam," whispers snow in my head.
"It hurts Snow" I say as a tear rolls down my face, and another, and another until my eyes become blurry and I'm sobbing.
How cliché
A girl all on her own, crying in the woods.
With my eyes blurry and me not being able to see where I'm going, I trip over a log and fall on the ground and start rolling down what seems to be a hill. Twigs, rocks and branches scratch me as a roll down the long hill. I come to a halt as my side collides with a big bolder crying even harder as pain irrupts on my side and I curl myself into a ball. Snow whimper's as the memories fill our head. It hurt both of us. It hurts so much.
It pisses me off that I still miss him. I shouldn't miss him. Why am I even crying? He doesn't deserve my tears.
I'm about to pick myself up when I hear a twig snap.
Getting into a defensive stance I quickly scan my surroundings for the intruder. Looking back at where I rolled down from, I realize that I had just stepped out of the territory without knowing.
Fuck, the alpha is going to kill me.
Another twig snaps to my left and my head snaps to that direction.
Something or someone is definitely here watching me.
"I don't have all day, either come out and fight or I'll be on my way" I
shout hoping that I sound confident.
Keeping an eye on the tree closest to where the snap came from, I slowly bent down and picked up the nearest rock before throwing it behind the tree. I hear a slight thud before hearing the rock fall to the ground.
Gosh, I love having super hearing.
A loud roar suddenly sounds from the tree. Okay now I'm scared.
A wolf walks out from behind the tree so slowly that I thought for a split second that time had slowed down. Its coat looked black, the darkest black I've ever seen in my life with dark eyes. Shit I love black. It had its body slouched down with its lips pulled back in a snarl, teeth on display. I don't think I've ever seen a wolf as big as this one. He's even bigger than my alpha.
"Look, I just want to climb back up that hill and go back home" I say while taking slow steps backwards
It growls louder as if telling me to stop. I come to a halt almost forgetting to breathe. The growl didn't frighten me, it turned me on.
Bad hormones, this is not the time to admire his beautiful black coat and his deep and hus-
"Sam! Look out!" yells Snow
Dodging just in time, the big wolf lands a few feet behind him after his attempted attack.
"Seriously, wolfie? Give a girl a warning next time" I say as I shake off the shock.
The wolf seems to hate the nickname because next thing I know he's charging at me again. Now I may not be able to shift but I can still fight.
Dodging his claws at the last minute, I bring my fist down on head and then kick him in the stomach. The kick is so powerful that it has him flying into a tree. The crack that follows has me slightly feeling bad.
"He brought it on himself"
I nod my head agreeing with Snow. I give the now disfigured body a glance before turning to leave back up the hill. Picking up the basket that I found a few feet away from where I had fallen, I'm about to head up the hill when something blue catches my eye.
Squinting my eyes in that direction I realize that it's a blue berry bush.
"Jackpot," I whisper to myself as I make a bee line towards the bush. Filling up my basket with berries, I turn to head back up the hill when I notice that the body of the wolf is no longer there.
My body freezes at the realization and I mentally slap my face.
Pushing my fear aside, I quickly try going back up the hill.
Tried and failed.
"It's too steep, let's go around"
"Yeah"
Taking snow's advice, I head in the opposite direction that I had left the wolf. I'm not taking any chances. That thing was huge so I'm not surprised that a petty thing like me was only able to knock it out for a few minutes. In fact, I should be proud of myself. I basically took down a wolf even more powerful than my alpha. How in the hell did that happen?
"We are stronger than we look, Samantha" whispers Snow
"What are you talking about?" I ask puzzled. I'm just a regular wolf. Maybe even lower than an omega considering I still can't shift into my wolf
"It's not time"
I growl in frustration at her response. It's been the same response for over a month now. Shaking off my frustration, I follow the little trail that should lead me back to the border line of my pack.
After about 20 minutes of following the trail, I find myself nearing what seems to be a cottage despite it being big. My mouth drops in awe as I admire the design of the cottage. Not to mention its black and grey. I follow the little black pebbled path to the big grey door.
"Sam, I think we should continue back to the pack" Snow says wearily
"It's getting dark and this is unclaimed territory" "Your telling me I'm the only one feeling this pull?" I ask arching my eyebrow as I trace the carved moon on the door. "Well open the door then what are you waiting for?"
I chuckle slightly at her sudden change of mood before pushing the door open. As if the outside wasn't beautiful, seeing the inside completely knocks the air out of my lungs. The inside of the house is also decorating in a grey and black theme. With gray walls and a black carpet that seems to go all around the house except the kitchen.
"You know it's really rude to just let yourself into someone's house without an invite" says a deep and a husky voice.
Startled by the voice I yelp and grab the nearest thing and point it in the direction of the voice. Distracted by my own curiosity of the place I don't realize someone walking into the kitchen and sitting on one of stools next to the counter.
"So you're going to hit me with a banana?"
Slightly confused I look down only to realize that I was pointing a banana at the handsome man in front of me.
"More like a god" says Snow in awe at the man before us.
He had tattoos covering his right bicep. His huge bicep might I add.
"Oh my gosh those abs"
My eyes trail down his chest as I notice that he isn't wearing a shirt and judging by the small beads of water, he just finished showering. Letting my eyes trail further, his sweat pants were basically hanging off of him.
"prrrrr"
"Are you done checking me out princess?" the mysteriously handsome man asks
Gosh he's so beautiful
"I know I'm good looking but no need to get excited princess," he grins while taking his time slowly checking me out. My cheeks turn red as I smell my arousal in the air. But what is a wolf doing living just outside a pack?
"I'm sorry, I was just on my way out actually," I say while taking slow steps to the door.
He suddenly presses a button next to the counter he is sitting on and I watch in horror as all the windows begin to close with what seems to be silver bars.
"Not so fast princess," he says with a smirk
"What are you doing?" I ask nervously as he advances towards me
"Well princess, you can't just knock me out and then invade my home and still get away with it" he says as his eyes turn black
Wait! He's the black wolf from earlier? Shit
By now all of windows are fully closed and my only way out is the door that is almost fully closed now.
"Stay away from me," I faked a whimper while taking slow and steady steps towards the exit. He seemed to buy it because a wide smirk grew on his face. Men.
I have to get to that exit or I'll be stuck in here forever. Not to mention that my mum would kill me if she found out I came out here. Literally. It's getting dark and everyone knows what comes out after the sun is gone. Just thinking about it scared me.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid. I knew this was a bad idea, I'm blaming this on you Snow," I say, knowing very well that this was my idea. "No way are you blaming this on me. It was your idea," she replied
"Then why didn't you stop me then!"
There's a pause before she responses
"Good point"
Suddenly I feel myself being pushed onto something hard. Pain spreads all over my back and I can't help the hiss that escapes my lips. "Mother fucker that was uncalled for," I say as I glare up into those black eyes. This dude is really starting to piss me off.
"You know princess, you really shouldn't swear," he says as he pins my arms above my head "Although I wouldn't mind it when I have you bare and under me"
WTF? Is this dude psycho or something?
"Who are you?" I ask him
"Darling, I'm your worst nightmare come true" he whispers into my ear My eyes widen in realization as I finally notice the mark on his shoulder. The mark of a wolf with a sword pierced through his head. His mark.
Its him.
It's the Reletrona.
