The girl with no wolf

The Next Morning

When I woke up I looked around and find that Cairo is no where to be found. I get up and start walking to the bathroom to get a shower. once I get ready I hear Cairo screaming IZZY!!! WHERE ARE YOU!!! I fling open the bathroom door and stare at him.. What's wrong ?? why did you freak out?? He just looks at me once he calms down and sits on the bed he finally starts talking.. I came in and you weren't in the bed asleep I just left you for 10 minutes. I sat down beside him and hugged him ''I'm ok I was just getting ready to take a shower,

Then I planned on going to the pack doctor about these headaches. I get back up off the bed long enough for him to grab my wrist and pull me down onto his lap ''Cairo um... I'm in my underwear can you please let me go so I can get dressed? His eyes are black and I know he's fighting for control. He lets me go and I get up and go take a shower.. Fifteen minutes later I'm finally out and feeling a little bit better more like myself.

As I look in the mirror I notice for a second my eyes look almost a steely blue color that's not my normal eye color? I blink and look again and my eyes are normal again. That was weird I chose to ignore it and went on to get dressed. but then I smell the most amazing smell the easiest way to describe it is it smells like old paper like really old books and peppermint. I LOVE those smells before I know it I'm dressed and following that smell and it leads straight to Cairo..... I stopped and looked at him questioningly.

"Why do you smell like very old books and peppermint????'' Izzy what are you talking about? And then his eyes got wide like dinner plate wide Izzy we need to go to the pack doctors right now!!! He grabbed my hand and dragged me out of our room and down the hall. My parents were in the living room and rushed to us when they seen Cairo drag me down the stairs.

Cairo what's the meaning of this? my mother asked him.. Izzy tell your parents what you said I smelled like.... All three looked at me like I grew two additional heads...Um Cairo smells like old books or rather old paper and peppermint . I look at the three of them what does that mean?? is it good or bad?? My parents continued to stare at me and I started to feel self conscious. I started to turn around when Cairo grabbed me and re assured that everything is going to be ok.

My father walked away speechless my mother just stood there blank.. my head started hurting again why wont this pain go away?? ok mom were heading to the pack doctor now because my head is really hurting me. She grabs my arm and starts to walk me to the doctor as Cairo stayed behind to help my father. As soon as we reached the pack doctor they rushed towards us taking me away from mom.

I looked back at her with fear in my eyes this brings back so many memories from when I was little. My anxiety came crawling to the surface I started to cry and ask for my mom and questioned the doctors about what they were going to do to me. They reassured me that it would all be standard non invasive tests and that they would go get my mom now. Once my mom came in the room she asked what was going on and why was I able to notice what my mate smelled like and what was with all these headaches.

Luna I'm not really sure what's going on but I don't think that serum she got when she was young was permanent.. I think her wolf is trying and I cant say that hard enough but I think her wolf is trying to come back to life or at least waking up. My mom just looked at me shocked I returned the look, I never thought that this would happen. I was elated and terrified at the same time...So many questions but the one that stuck out the most was the one I asked completely afraid of the answer.... If my wolf is coming ''alive'' per say wouldn't

William come after me again? and this time he would make it permanent. I looked at the doctors hoping for a different answer but they hung their heads a sad look in their eyes. I turned to my mother tears in my eyes and she hugged me '' we will protect you sweet heart'' I can promise you that. Luna there is a experimental pill we can give her that would make her smell human. we have been working on this so one day possibly be able to blend in with the humans completely.. My mother looked at the doctor and asked what the progress on this pill was and have they had any luck with wolves in the trial?? yes Luna we have had successful people in the trial our progress is about 70% of wolves have has their scent masked and its not permanent the effects last about a week because we didn't want to make it so others couldn't smell like their wolves.

The only real side effect is you might feel very hungry or restless these will pass after a few weeks. My mother looked at me it's your choice Izzy your father and cant make this choice for you. I thought about it and said ok doc lets do it. Ok I'll be right back with the paperwork and Luna since your here I will need you to sign off on it before we were using prisoners.

But this is a pack member and an important one. Doc? umm I have one more question I said interrupting them.. will this pill stop my wolf from coming to life? will it hide her from me? No Princess Izzy it won't your wolf will still be able to talk to you and your mates wolf. Somehow that made me feel better. The doctor left and came back with a full pill bottle. I thought you said i only had to take these once a week? You do there's 52 pills in there enough for a whole year the doctor said he gave me a cup of water and i took my first pill.

Once we were back at the pack house I went to my room to put the bottle on my night stand and went to find dad and Cairo. I knocked on my dads office door and walked in once I heard ''ENTER" I walked in and went straight to Cairo and hugged him when we broke the hug he looked at me weird '' why do you smell human?'' my dad looked concerned at me.. ok soo my wolf is waking up is the best way to describe what's going on.

I'm worried that once William finds that out he will make it permanent so the pack doctor with moms approval gave me these pills that will hide my scent from everyone and its not permanent I take 1 pill a week. I looked at a very stunned Cairo and said that's why I could smell you and why I have been getting headaches so much.

OHHH I almost forgot it wont stop my wolf from waking up once she does she will be able to talk to me and your wolf I said with a giant smile on my face. My dad stood up and came around his desk and hugged me ''oh honey that's so wonderful!! he said through happy tears. Ok I hate to break this up but I spent all day in the hospital I want to go to bed. I said good night to my dad as Cairo and I walked to our room.

I cant believe your getting your wolf that must be why mines been so restless, Cairo said as we laid down. That was the last thing I heard before blissful sleep took over. I woke up a few times during the night and I could swear something or someone was standing right over me but when I sat up and turned the light on no one was there. Cairo started stirring I shut the light off and laid back down as I was getting comfortable

Cairo asked what was wrong and I told him that I'm pretty sure something was in the room watching me sleep. He quickly shot up looking around as he got out of bed to check the doors and window, he noticed something taped to the balcony door. he walked back to the bed as I turned on the lights. he looked sick to his stomach as I took the note from his hands." Better enjoy her while she's alive, because once I have her you won't see her again" I started shaking and crying.

By the time I tried to wake my parents up I was in full blown hysterics. they rushed to our room didn't even bother with knocking once they heard me crying. I gave my dad the note and hugged my mom tightly. my dad spoke after a few mins of silence "we will find whoever wrote this and they will die!"

he stormed out and said meet me in the office in tens mins! mom chased after him as Cairo and I started getting dressed.

As we walked to dad's office I seen donaven walking up to the door also. he looked in my eyes and swore that he would keep me safe. it was reassuring but at the same time I felt a lump in my throat about the what ifs.
