Abril's POV
I was stunned, my mate just stood there and brushed off the fact. My mind was racing wondering what he was thinking only to have the headmaster stop my thoughts.
"Karto you may take your seat I have a few things to finish covering topics."
Karto stiffly walked back to his seat next to me. I sniffed his scent, but I couldn't read it. 'What he's a human! Humans can't mask their scents!'
Headmaster Callaway explained that Pack leaders would be of not just one level but all four levels of the pack. Which would be decided by challenges and that anyone can go for any rank they choose.
They the meeting was over and Karto was the first one out the door and by the time I stood up everyone was crowding the doors to the school hallway. I tried to follow and called out to him but didn't reply. I could feel his confusion, it felt saddening. I hadn't told him the whole truth. When I reached the courtyard of the school I found him sitting on a bench looking at the moon.
Karto's POV
I couldn't look at anyone. I didn't even remember what was said. I remember leaving the school building and sitting down. I just couldn't yet accept the fact that something that I didn't believe in was true. I feel very confused and lost.
I heard footsteps and I looked up to see Abril without the ears and tail. Was it an illusion?
"Karto..." she spoke, but she didn't sound comfortable.
"Was I just imagining that whole thing?"
She shook her head. I knew it, " Well at least I'm not going crazy!"
I felt so lost that I was starting to get a headache, "Abril were you going to tell me that you were a werewolf?"
I looked straight into her eyes in the dying sunset and waited for her answer.
"My plan was to tell you when I thought would have been the right time for you. I hate seeing you feel like this, it makes me feel the same way."
I turned my head back to the sunset. I thought to myself, 'There is a reason she is here with me. Abril makes me feel whole.'
"Are we friends Abril?"
" W-what..?" her voice was unstable almost like she was about to cry.
"Are we friends? Your here for me and this means a lot to me."
She turned her face away so I couldn't see it. Why was she trying to hide her face was she crying? About what though?
"Abril can you please look at me."
She turned and I was shocked to see her in tears and her face looked pained.
"Are you okay?"
"Period.." she grunted.
I looked at her quizzically. Then realized what she meant. I lightened the mood slightly by saying, "What can I do to help?"
