Laura ran her hands through her hair going through the pictures of the victims from the last attack. She bit down on her bottom lip with furrowed brows trying to figure something out. From the CCTV footage, the creature was very fast just as Faye had pointed out.
"Sir!" Her focus was cut from the pictures landing on a breathless Faye approaching her table.
"What's new?" Laura asked with a raised brow.
"Like we all know the DNA found in the crime scene was that of a wolf" Laura nodded urging her to continue. "An ordinary wolf wouldn't have killed a human in that brutal way" Faye exhaled slamming a picture on Laura's table. "This is what the claws of a regular wolf look like," She said, slamming another picture on the table. "And this is what the claws of a werewolf look like"
Laura stared at the two pictures with furrowed brows "A werewolf?" She questioned. "Werewolves like in movies?" Faye nodded and Laura shook her head. "Those things don't exist what are you saying?"
"I knew you'd say that so I did some research and... " Faye slammed another picture on the table making Laura flinch.
"Can you stop slamming-"
"Sorry," She cleared her throat "As I was saying, the picture I have here and the picture we have from the victims are the same.... Do you see.... "
"The similarities"
"Exactly!" Faye said smiling.
"This doesn't prove anything" Faye's smile faded before she cleared her throat.
"I knew you'd say that so I did more research... there's this article I came across, it talked about werewolves and vampires, and how they exist in real life... the writer said she's come across one, he or she was speaking from experience" Faye paused for a moment "And the writer is still alive" She finished smiling proudly to herself.
Laura sighed deeply, running a hand over her face. "What exactly made you think of werewolves?" Laura questioned.
Faye shrugged "I watch a lot of movies so I wondered 'What if this is real'?"
"We have to talk with the article writer," Laura replied, grabbing a new file and putting in the pictures Faye presented.
"I'll send her an email"
Diana
After school, I texted Dad asking him if Mum was home and he replied with a No. He didn't ask any questions about where I've been and I'm so thankful for that. Zayn and I drove to the pack house after school. He promised to drop me home before dawn.
"They're Beta's... and Omega's too" We heard Benjamin say as we walked hand in hand into the large house.
"Beta's just like us?" Cole asked, making Benjamin nod. The entire pack except Benjamin and Charlie were all Beta. A Beta is a wolf turned by an Alpha. They were all turned by Benjamin which makes them his Beta's.
"What they do isn't our business though," Lucas said.
"What about Beta's and what they do?" Zayn finally asks as we settle down with the others.
"They've been the ones responsible for all the killings" Olivia answered, making my heart skip. Zayn noticed squeezing my hands as if trying to comfort me.
"Don't you dare say we're going to stop them" Lucas grumbled.
"We're going to stop them," Benjamin said.
"He said it" Lucas whined, throwing his head back in defeat.
"We can't just let them keep killing people, we stopped feeding on people years ago but if we don't stop them would we be any different from them?" Jake questioned looking between everyone. I feel so left out because I don't know what to say. I have no contribution to give.
"Are we going to attack them first or... " Zayn asks
"No, we're going to invite them first, talk to them like civilized wolves, their reaction will determine how we act afterward," Benjamin explains, earning a nod from everyone.
"Uhh would it be a bad idea if we invite them to a party?" I ask in a low voice.
Everyone looked at me "Now that's the kind of plan I love to hear" Noah yells running to me and taking me by surprise with a bear hug.
"Woah Woah" Zayn exclaims, peeling Noah away from me. "Watch it"
"Diana, why don't you arrange the party? It's actually a great idea so why don't you take charge of the party arrangements" Benjamin said.
"I'll help Diana" Charlie volunteered quickly, making me smile at her.
"I'll join you guys too," Olivia sighs, raising her hand.
"Ugh, can y'all make up already? I can hear and smell the tension between the two of you" Cole complained as he stood up.
"I will take care of inviting the Beta and Omega's," Benjamin said, going up into his room and ignoring Cole's statement. Olivia scoffed running after him.
"I'll do the decorations," Cole said, raising his left hand while scrolling through his phone.
"I don't like that you're getting involved in this" Zayn muttered as he removed his clothes.
"Why is it just a party?" I shrug, laying on his bed. "Plus I want to help"
"A party with wolves around" he huffs. "Nasty wolves at that" He adds frowning.
"Nothing's going to happen, okay I promise if things get nasty I'll leave" I promise.
He looked at me and then down at himself. "Fine," he mumbles, pulling off his shirt.
"Are you hungry?" He asks laying by my side and pulling me closer to kiss me. "You wanna eat something?" He asked moving away from me to look at me questioningly.
I nodded "Yeah sure"
"I'll be right back," he says, standing up and walking out of the room. While I waited I decided to pull up Netflix on his laptop when there was a knock on the door.
"Uh come in" I called and saw Charlie step inside
"Hey," I smiled, sitting up and moving closer to her.
"How are you feeling?" She asks, sitting on the edge of the bed.
"I'm doing good" I let out a chuckle not knowing exactly what she meant.
"I mean how are you doing with everything, the pack, mate stuff, how are you taking everything?" She questions.
"I think I've been handling it pretty well I guess"
She hummed in approval. "I'm not a wolf you know that?"
"You're human?!" I exclaimed slightly jumping from the sitting position.
It would be nice if I wasn't the only human here.
"No" She laughs "I'm a ware-coyote" My mouth hung open because what the hell is that? " are just like werewolves but instead of wolves I'm a coyote, we're like distant relatives. Warecoyoties shift into full doglike animals while werewolves shift into bigger beat-like creatures' ' With wide eyes and jaw dropped to the floor I stared at her like a deer caught in headlights.
"Have you seen Zayn in werewolf form?" She asks, making me shake my head.
Just then Zayn came back with a tray in his hands. He gave Charlie a look before looking at me.
"What's happening?" He asks
"Oh I'm just telling Diana about myself and what I am"
"Oh. " Was all Zayn said before placing the tray on the table?
"I'll leave you guys" She gives me a wink before disappearing through the door.
"Here I brought you fried rice, that's what Lucas was cooking, and a chocolate shake" Zayn smiled proudly presenting what he brought me.
"Oh I don't take Chocolate, I'm allergic"
"Huh? Is chocolate allergy even a thing" I scoff, slapping his shoulder.
"Sorry" Zayn pleads laughing "I would have never expected you to be allergic to chocolate"
Zayn settled the tray on his lap taking out a spoon.
"What are you doing?"
"Feeding you" He shrugs like it's the most normal thing on earth.
"What? You don't have to feed me" I cover my mouth laughing hard. It was funny to me because I didn't picture Zayn as that kind of person.
"Why? I want to feed my angel, what's wrong with that?" He takes the first scoop "Say ahh"
"I can eat on my own" He sucks in a sharp breath playfully glaring at my direction.
I sighed in defeat shifting closer to him "Ahh"
"Good girl," He whispers, feeding me. I must say Lucas is a great cook.
"Do you have any allergies?" I ask as Zayn scoops the second spoon and feeds me.
"Nope, I can eat everything, including you" I coughed while a blush creeped up my face.
"Shut up" Zayn laughs, shaking his head.
"Ahh"
"Ahh"
"No, you're not opening your mouth wide enough" I scoff rolling my eyes. "Come on now you can do this, you're good at deep-throating"
"Zayn!"
"Sorry, now say AHH!"
