Cedric
I stared at this woman challenging me, she won't break the stare or look away or even look down. The strange thing is that her behavior was actually amusing to me and my wolf who clearly considered it as a game, I could feel him practically wagging his tail and waiting for the next move.
I smile at Rain which seems to surprise her, she raises her brows and shakes her head as if saying 'what?', I take a step back and lick my lips "run" she frowns in confusion "what?" I smile and repeat "you asked me about what I'm gonna do if you turn your back to me again, now that we're alone- I'll show you- run!" Rain's face pales for a second, but when I snarl at her playfully she squeals and heads outside the door, I stand there giving her some time to run- then I run after her.
Rain
I run faster and faster into the dense forest, then I hide behind some bushes and wait for Cedric to show up. Panting, I crouch down and wave at my face to cool it off a little, with all the running I don't feel cold anymore- in fact, I feel really hot.
A few minutes pass, I start to wonder where the hell Cedric is, with the excellent sense of smell that he has there's no way he wouldn't find me, I try to move closer to inspect the area, a twig snaps in the process and I curse silently. Not long after, the whole forest grows eerily silent and I know it's a sign that a predator is in the area.
Taking a deep breath I study the darkness and squint here and there to see any shadow or eyeshine- nothing, but still, even the crickets are silent, so the predator is still around.
I sit there still crouching behind the bush for a few more minutes, finally, I decide that I've had enough so I stand up and just as I turn to leave I bumped into a hard chest and I feel strong arms circling me, I raise my head up to meet dark eyes, this isn't Cedric- I squint my eyes and then I recognize the guy right away- it's Cyprus.
I smiled at him and I could see him smiling back. When I open my mouth, he shushes me and bends down to whisper in my ear "how about you hunt Cedric, instead of him hunting you?" My eyes turn wide with excitement and I nod at him, he smiles and gestures to me to keep quiet and follow him.
After sneaking around we finally see him between the trees, Cyprus whispers to me "when hunting, always stand or sit against the wind direction- so that your prey won't pick up your smell" I nodded and looked back at Cedric who had his back to us while he seemed to be sniffing around, I noticed that he was in his human form, apparently to keep it fair, I smiled and focused when Cyprus whispered again "remember, always attack your prey when it's unaware of your presence, especially when it has it's back to you" I licked my lips and prepared myself, he whispered again "ready?" I answered "yeah" he gestured for me to take a deep breath and when I did he put his finger on my mouth "hold it in, now pounce!" Just like that I stood up from the brush, took a few silent steps then jumped at Cedric, but before I could land on his back he whirled around and grabbed me then shoved me to the ground.
I landed with a thud and all the air escaped my lungs in a rush. Groaning!, I raised my hand to my head "ouch", I opened my eyes to see Cedric's panicked look, he rushed towards me "Rain? Rain are you ok?" I started to sit up slowly and he helped me "gotcha!" I laughed but coughed in the middle of it, his features softened and he chuckled "I thought you were a stranger" I nodded "yeah, figures" he smiled "that was good, where did you learn to sneak up like that?" I looked at the brush "well, Cyprus taught me" Cedric frowned "Cyprus? He's supposed to be doing rounds" at that moment Cyprus' voice came out of somewhere "sorry alpha, won't happen again".
Cedric and I walked under the moonlight. With all the sweat after the running, I felt cold again so he and I walked back to the house and I grabbed a sweatshirt that I had luckily grabbed while I was out of my bedroom door back when I left the apartment with Cedric. Sighing I looked at Cedric, he had his hands in his pockets, his signature biker boots crunching the leaves and stones, then my eyes start to go up to his strong legs, arms, and neck, he's absolutely delectable, I sigh again and look down, "one more sigh and I'll start to think that you're bored again" Cedric's voice is full with amusement when I don't comment he stops and I stop with him "hey Cedric, can I ask you something?" He shrugs "sure", rubbing my arm, I think about what I'm gonna ask him really hard "well, what if I want to become like you?" He looks confused "like me? In what way exactly?" I lift my shoulder "you know.. a werewolf".
Cedric stares at me for a second then he laughs , his laugh is so rare and is absolutely fascinating , for a second there I forgot the whole situation and focused on this rumbling deep manly laugh of his, he shook his head "Rain, babe,either you read too much fiction stories or those werewolf movies seriously fucked up your thoughts'' I groaned and covered my face "oh God, I just embarrassed myself didn't I?" He chuckled "no, it's ok to ask, but let me tell you something" he walked a few more steps and I followed, then we sat on the grass watching the full moon- Cedric continued "we are born this way, a human can't be changed or turned into a werewolf and a werewolf can't turn into a human" I frowned "but you are all in human forms most of the time" he raised a finger to correct me "we shift into human form and can stay like that most of the time ,but eventually we have to shift into our wolf form at least three times a week" I nod "oh" he nods back and smiles then he leans back on his hands "so ,Rain, you've been around for a while now- but I don't know anything about you" I smile at him "what do you want to know?" He curves his lips ``I don't know, your family I guess" I sighed "well, my parents died in a car crash when my brother and I were younger- we stuck together, and when we grew up my brother passed away too" Cedric looked at me with compassion "how did he die?" I ran a hand through my hair "cancer" he hummed and looked around, I decided it was my turn "how about you? What's your family like?" Cedric closed his eyes and sighed "I'm just like you, my parents passed away just when Zevrus and I turned into our mature age, my father used to be the alpha of our pack for years and years, but eventually he got sick at an old age and passed away- my mother was consumed with sorrow, and she died two months after him" although his words were confident and he showed no feelings while talking about his parents' death, I still felt bad for him "I'm so sorry Cedric" I leaned in and hugged him, he hugged me back and took a deep breath of my neck, then he seemed relaxed "thanks".
