"I just can't wrap my head around the fact that you're one of them now" Dad says as I take another bite of my breakfast burrito and Zayn slowly takes a bite too.
The silence was awkward with mum glaring daggers into Zayn's face. "Diana, do you like the life you're living right now?" Dad asks with a fond smile.
"Yeah dad." My voice cracks with happiness and I grab Zayn's hand under the table. "I've never been happier"
Dad's smile dims. "I must say, this is not the life I imagined for you.. but if Zayn makes you happy then who am I to object" My dad says in that quiet tone that means he's genuinely happy. Zayn squeezes my hand tightly and Mum's lips thin, before she smiles again. "If you hurt my daughter in any way... I'll feed you wolfsbane myself" A small laugh escapes from Zayn and Dad raises an eyebrow at him.
"I'd never do anything to hurt Diana" he replies in a soft tone and my chest swells.
"Well I'll keep a close eye on you both" Mum grumbles as she gets up from the table.
Zayn leans down towards me and murmurs "Damn I don't like her" He yelps when I stomp on his foot and shove a piece of veggies into his mouth while Dad chuckles at us.
"I can relate to that ....sometimes"
Walking into the pack house everyone was present in the sitting room laughing and talking. "Yo how's our Kanima doing?" Cole yells with a wide grin. My brows shoot up in confusion.
Kanima?
"You haven't told her?" Cole asks in a loud whisper to the others in the room.
Zayn shakes his head and sighs. "What's he talking about?"
"Let's talk in private," Zayn says.
I give him a confused look. But follow him nonetheless. We enter Zayn's room and Zayn closes the door.
"I-I just don't understand... why didn't I turn into a werewolf like everyone else, why a Kanima?" Zayn buries his fingers, my hair untangling my curls as my head lays on his chest listening to his fast heartbeat I've always been addicted to.
"Not everyone else is a wolf, Charlie is a coyote" Zayn whispers burying his nose into my afro.
"But none of you guys are used to Kanima's, what if something happens to me and no one knows what to-"
"Hey.. Nothing on earth will happen to you alright?" Zayn interrupts me as he lifts my chin up so that he can look in my eyes. The sincerity in his words warms my heart and my lips form into a pout, he quickly pecks it before continuing. "I'll be right here with you all the way" He leans closer to me and kisses my forehead softly.
"So like what triggers the memories?"
"How would I know I'm not the Kanima here" I punch Zayn hard on his chest sitting up and he yelps.
"Dude how's your punch so strong?" He laughs as he rubs where I hit him.
"I'm a supernatural now bitch" I roll my eyes playfully earning a scoff from Zayn.
"Come here" he reaches out for me and pulls me onto his lap, wrapping his arms around me.
Within seconds Zayn is nibbling on my lower lip gently asking for entrance and I grant it happily and his tongue immediately slips inside my mouth.
My eyebrows crease when my fingertips begin to burn. I abruptly break the heated make out session pulling away from Zayn. "What's wrong?"
My fingers are infront of both Zayn and I as I stare at it with a frown. Why does it hurt? Zayn grabs my hands, raising an eyebrow. I'm confused.
A loud scream escapes my mouth when ten claws grow out from my nails. A wave of heat rushes through my body making me feel dizzy.
"Turns out a Kanima has claws too" Zayn mutters dryly staring at my fingernails....Claws.
"Your's are white, mine are black" I ask quietly. It feels weird having claws.. it feels heavy. Zayn intertwined our fingers together.
"Then that balances the equation don't you think? Mine are white" In a swift motion Zayn snaps out his white claws "And yours are blank" With every word he speaks the larger my grin becomes. Zayn's grin mirrors mine, his fangs extending from his mouth and his pupils dilating in the evening sun peeking in through the window.
Our lips were about to luck but my ringing phone interrupted our little moment. "Oh come " Zayn groans as I pick up my phone and stare at my caller ID.
"It's Kai... we haven't hung out in ages" It's been really unfair how I haven't been checking on my best friend and totally ignoring her. But these past months have just been super crazy.
"Ugh Kai" Zayn whines as I pick the device and Zayn connects his face next to my phone making me shove him aside.
"Hey girlfriend" Zayn repeats after me in a mocking tone earning a glare. Zayn smirks leaning closer and slightly licking on my exposed neck. I shiver in pleasure ending the call and tossing the phone to the side before grabbing Zayn's hair and slamming our lips together and the rest was history.
The Kanima only does what the master wishes or commands.
Diana's turned form marches forward as the witch's eyes widens In terror.
"What the hell are you?" The witch snarls in fear as she feels her body begin to shake at the sight of the large creature.
Without warning the Kanima lunges forward slashing open witch's throat, before compressing her head sending blood and flesh flying everywhere.
After the kill Diana begins to feel weak, she turns back to human form and falls to her knees panting heavily.
She had just killed a person... a witch... nonetheless a person. The sight made her sick to the stomach. Blood stained her naked body. Tears stream down her face as she tried to wipe the tears away with a shaky and bloody hands.
Her vision blurs and she falls unconscious.
"She's fucking missing again!" Zayn roars shoving Jake to the side who tries to stop him from leaving the house.
"Do you know where to find her?!" Jake bellows over Zayn's roaring. Zayn continues to ignore him as he pushes Jake aside and storms outside and the others follow behind.
"Zayn!" Justin yells as they follow him.
Running further into the woods he could hear police sirens wailing in the distance. And at the same time her scent. Her fear. She was scared.
Diana was Scared and alone and it was tearing at him.
Zayn runs at full speed towards the crime scene, he exhales in relief seeing Laura there talking with some other officers.
"Laura.." he breathes out and she turns around noticing him as he slows to a walk and approaches her.
"Zayn" Laura gasps in a low voice dragging him to the side. "You have to get her out!" Laura breathes out in fear. It was the first time Zayn was seeing the woman so scared. "There's no other way"
"Where's Diana" Zayn grits out between gritted teeth, as he watches a group of cops scan the area. He doesn't care if a thousand cops were present, if I had to kill them all to get his mate then he would.
All he wanted to know is where Diana was. He would tear down whatever is keeping her away from him.
"Diana's inside that truck, she was found unconscious by Miss Amsterdam's corpse" Laura tells him in a trembling breath. Zayn's knees tremble at the news.
Amsterdam Gretchen.
The witch.
Zayn begins to hyperventilate..
"Mum?! Let me out! MUM! Zayn!" Diana screams from where she was kept at the backside of a truck with no windows. Zayn snaps out of it hearing his mate's cry, he felt like someone poured acid in his veins. His vision was blurring. He clenched his jaw as his nails dug deep into his palms, his eyes glow a bright blue.
"Jungkoo-" Before Laura could finish she was harshly shoved to the side making her fall, Grabbing the police man standing by the front door of the truck he slams the man's head through the glass before throwing him to the side.
"Freeze!" Every single cop points their guns at Zayn but he ignores them by opening the doors and jumping inside the truck.
"Get the fuck down!" Zayn growls out angrily, turning on the truck as bullets rips into the side of the car making him swerve to the right. His knuckles turn white from how tight his grip on the wheels were. Diana's screams can be heard from the back of the truck as he picks up speed towards the road heading for the highway.
