Chapter 10 - a wolf?

She laughs and grabs Luca's arm squeezing and brushing her boobs on his arm. Wow, Jos is a pro at getting what she wants.

While I admired her incredible flirting ability, she starts introducing us.

"Lucas, this is Allie" she says but I cut her off.

"Alice" I say with my monotonic voice.

"What?" she startles.

"I don't like people I don't know calling me Allie" I explain. I hope he doesn't feel attack but I'm being serious.

"Oh shit! Sorry Allie I should've thought of that" Jos apologizes, and I smile a little.

"It's alright, you didn't mean to" I nod and wait for the introductions again.

"Well, let me start over, Lucas, this is Alice" he nods and I do the same "Alice, this is Lucas".

"The new girl everyone is talking about!" Lucas smiles and eyes me up and down as well.

I don't like being eyed like that, he should be more discreet at the very least. I hear Blacky mumbling next to me, he's pissed.

Again, why is everyone talking about me? This is becoming annoying.

"You became the new sensation when you talked back to Rose!" he continues, and I look up. Seeing his eyes.

I open my eyes wide, he's one of them, the football guys from earlier. Well, here goes my strategy of avoiding them.

I keep on seeing his eyes and he flinches, I see something else, something I've never seen before and curiosity gets the best of me.

I walk towards him, I have to stand on my tiptoes to reach his face, our noses are almost touching and I'm just seeing his eyes while squinting mine, completely focusing.

For a moment, he's body overlaps with a huge brown wolf, that makes me open my eyes wide and take a couple steps back.

He looks surprise and is lightly blushing "W-What was that for?" he asks breathless.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude" I say seriously "You have beautiful eyes, I wanted to see them up close" I'm not lying, he does have beautiful eyes and that's the best excuse I could get.

"Are we going to stay here? I rather go outside, It's too loud here" I say calmly and they flinch.

"Yes! Ummmm… too loud here, let's go out and we can hang out with my friends… I'm sure you guys can get along" Lucas says nervously.

Why is he nervous? He's looking at me a lot. Jos tries to grab his arm again but he moves away from her and she looks at him surprise.

They look like they're talking but while saying nothing… interesting.

"They're talking behind your back" blacky says annoyed and I smile. He doesn't talk often but when he does he mostly says annoyed comments.

We finally leave the living room and I'm grateful, I see the lawn and it has a food bar. Sorry everyone, but food has priority, I'm hungry.

"Jos" she flinches when she hears my voice.

"Yes?" she asks looking at me and at Lucas like she just learn something amazing.

"I want to eat, I'm coming back soon" I say and start walking towards the food bar. I can't move further because someone grabs my arm.

I look up and it's Lucas "We have food on our table! You don't have to go!" he says desperate like he wants to be close to me.

"Alright, please let go off my arm" I instruct, and he does. We follow him towards the table, and I start talking with Jos.

"Jos, what were you talking about?" she flinches the moment she heard my question.

"what do you mean by talking? We were just walking, you were there! You saw us! No word left our lips" she says everything in a single breath, why is she trying so hard to find excuses?

"I thought you were talking in a secret code or something" I explain myself.

"oh… well… we were not, I only fuck him, we don't really talk much…" Jos says and I nod. If she doesn't want to tell me I'm not going to force her.

I sigh and we finally reach the table, I though it was going to be a table for 6 at most but it's a huge table with already 13 people sitting there. I look at the friend next to Lucas and he's talking with Rose.

I mentally slap my face, I want to go already.

Jos introduces me and I nod to everyone, I'm not feeling up to talking right now, I just want to eat. Lucas eyes me from time to time and hands me an empty dish.

"You can grab anything you want" he smiles smugly "anything" he adds suggestively, and I can't help but cringe at him.

Thankfully, he notices because his smile falls and starts talking with his friends.

The guys look flirty but decent, and after noticing I don't want to talk to them, they leave me alone.

I enjoy the time talking with Jos and catching Lucas eyeing me until Blacky decides to pinch his arm and I smile a little when he jolts, searching who pinched him.

Suddenly they all stop talking and turned their heads towards two massive guys walking towards our table, they look older than us, maybe around 23?

The taller one is really fit and around 6'10", the other one is also muscular but shorter than the guy walking in front of him, he's around 6'6".

I can't stop looking at the taller one, next to him… no, that doesn't sound right, in him? Overlapping? The point is that a huge translucid black wolf is walking with him, the same pace… if the guy takes a step so does the wolf.

I understand now, the wolf is him… he's the wolf, it's not a ghost… it's part of him… that's weird, it's the first time I see something like that, with Lucas it was just a moment but with him is just there. That's going to make it harder to talk face to face.

Once he's closer to the table he freezes and takes a deep breath. He abruptly looks at me and for a moment I can see his eyes turning black, completely covering the white in his eyes but as soon as I see it he closes his eyes and walks away, the shorter dude practically dragging him.

He leaves, and so does the wolf. That was really weird, even for me.

Lucas and Jos are looking at me as if something unbelievable just happened. Lucas even wince in pain and embarrassment. I look around and everyone is also looking at me, they're looking at me with surprise expressions.

"These people are really rude, should I tease them?" Blacky says annoyed and I shook my head.

I know I have to go, something tells me this is about to become a really annoying tiring mess.
