"How the hell," I looked around and saw nothing but trees. "s**t, last time I checked I was dead."
I don't know how long I have been dead or asleep but I don't even know where I am. I didn't recognize anything around me. I tried to turn back into my human self but I didn't even remember who that was.
"Wait, who the hell am I,"
"Woah,"
"Now, that is strange,"
I spent an entire day pacing back and forth trying to remember who I was or even my name. That day turned into a month. I had a few dreams and flashbacks of my friends and family. I didn't know where they were or how to get back to them.
My name was Lucas. I had lived for over 100 years as the beta to the Eastwood pack. My alpha, my best friend Aidan was an amazing guy. Damn, I missed him. His wife Hope, well that was a lost cause. I loved her. I can't really remember why but she was a sweetheart. Their faces were lost in my memories. It's like a could hold on to them for only a second at a time.
"I'm I supposed to live like this forever," I thought. "Moon goddess haven't I suffered enough," I remember choosing to live like this for the sake of everyone's happiness. I was suffering, Hope was suffering, and Aidan would have killed me sooner or later. I died for her, for her kids, and for my best friend. He deserved to be happy, I did two shitty things to him in one lifetime.
"Why can't I turn back though," I wondered. "What do I even look like." Some things were still a blur.
I was beginning to get tired of wondering and praying for answers. I decided to accept this life and began to look for somewhere to rest my head each night. Sleeping outside under the stars wasn't all bad. It was peaceful. There were no other wolves in this area so I had no threat or enemy to worry about. I could run and run for days. Hunt and play with no one to worry about crashing my party. It was fun for the first few months but then it got boring and lonely. I ventured further into the countryside and made my way to a small town. I had to be careful not to be seen or I would end up being the big bad wolf the town's people try to hunt and kill.
One day, I found myself chasing a rabbit when suddenly I heard the sweetest melody. I followed it as closely as I could and then I smelled the most delicious scent I have ever come across. It smelled like peppermint. The first thing I saw was her beautiful long dark blonde hair. She was dancing and humming. She didn't notice me but I had to keep approaching her. She was so captivating and alluring. I couldn't stay away. The minute she noticed me she stopped. She began to curse and became increasingly nervous. I wish I could laugh. I wish I could touch her. I wanted to run about to her and hold her. She began to take a few steps back. I didn't move, I didn't want her to become more afraid.
"I will never come back here again," I heard her say. Her voice was so soft and giddy but when she said that I become nervous. I didn't want her to leave and I couldn't stand the idea of her not coming back out here. I ran up to her and tried to show her I was friendly. She looked petrified and I tried to bow my head and get her to see I was no threat. I dug my nose on her thigh and took in her scent once more. It was intoxicating and everything I ever need.
"How the hell do I change back," I shouted in my head. I tried to stay calm for her sake. I didn't want her to leave. I wanted to stay like this for just a bit longer.
"Um, ok," she said as she gently patted my head.
"God, that was the best feeling on earth," I thought. "What the hell is wrong with me." She isn't my mate. She can't be. First, she is human, and two how can she feel and bond to me like this.
"f**k!"
"NOW, WHAT!"
"I HATE YOU, MOON GODDESS"
"Well, my name is Elena and I have to go home now," she said. I growled at her. I didn't mean to but I didn't want her to leave. She quickly sat back down. I moved away from her so she could stand without fear. With every move she made my heart raced more. I let her go and didn't follow her until I knew she wouldn't notice. I didn't want to freak her out more. I followed her to a small house near the woods. I was happy I had her so close. I stayed nearby and felt her presence until I fell asleep. It was an agonizing and lonely night. For once, I didn't think about my past life but I thought of this new one. How can I begin to live it when I am nothing but a simple wolf. Somehow, I have to get her to trust me and to make her want to spend time with me. I can't live a day without her.
The next morning, she woke up and was singing. She was so happy in the morning. She lit brighter than the sun.
"Cause you make me feel like
I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long
Yeah, you make me feel like
I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long
I've been locked out of heaven"
She walked outside wearing a cream-colored sweater dress with knee-high brown boots. She was so elegant and beautiful. She looked like a city girl trapped in the countryside. Her beautiful dark blonde hair was wavy and bounced with her every step. She was heading to the house in front of hers. I wanted to stay close and see who she was on her way to see. Elena was going to be a new adventure and I was eager and ready to head straight for it.
