The Wolf

Kaylee’s POV
The morning came and yep I awake in my big new bed. It wasn’t a dream at all. I’m at the Johnson estate and I’m supposed to marry Ryan. Up and at em, I said to myself as I hopped out of bed. The sun was rising and slightly peaking through the drapes. Great time for a run, I said looking for my workout clothes. Leggings, a sports bra and my running shoes were my attire. I grabbed my wireless earbuds and my watch off the dresser and headed for the door. I walked down the stairs and out the door. I started to stretch as I looked around the massive estate.
There has to be a good trail around here, I thought, scanning my surroundings. I picked a song on my watch and as soon as I heard the sound blasting in my headphones I was gone. Running while jamming at the same time gave me peace. Thinking of my brothers and hoping that everything would be ok for them. I started to feel like a worrying mother but hell someone had to be since we lacked the proper parental guidance growing up. I remember being left in the house for months at a time without any food because my parents were “handling business”. Well the last time they left on a trip dad came back alone and our lives only got worse. He was never home and he fired all the help. I had to do everything and be everything for my brothers. Now that I’m gone I can only imagine what’s happening to them.
I shook off the horrible thought of anything happening to them and ran faster. I had no idea where I was running to but I was running and trying to remember my way back. I stopped to take a breather and stretch my muscles a bit. I heard a noise come from behind a tree so I froze in place. I held in my breath and looked around frantically hoping it was my imagination.
Crunch
The sound of a branch breaking from someone or something stepping on it. I readied my footing to get the hell away. I took a breath and ran like hell. As soon as I started running a wolf jumped out from behind the tree. He was big, not too big but big enough to tear you to shreds. I ran as fast as I could zigging and zagging to confuse him
don’t get eaten
don’t get eaten, I said to myself running faster.
I could outrun him if only I knew how to turn into my wolf. I’ve only transformed once in my life and I have no idea how it happened but I was damn lucky for her because she saved mine and my brothers lives. One time my father was drunk out of his mind and looking for a fight. He chose to beat up on my brother Trey. Trey got some good hits in but he was still overpowered by my father's drunken rage. I cried out for him to get off of him and it just made him hit harder. I could literally see Trey’s eyes start to close as if he was dying. I refused to watch my brother die at the hands of such a useless excuse of a human so I closed my eyes and balled my fist so tight that my nails were digging into my skin then I swung. Weird thing is I didn’t connect with a punch. When I opened my eyes I saw paws and not hands. My father was underneath me crying and pleading for me to spare his life. I should have ripped him to pieces but so many emotions were flooding me.
Confusion, rage, power, so many emotions tangled into one. I backed away from him and he ran like hell. I looked over at my brother bleeding and I walked over to him. I used my warm nose to nudge at his barely moving body. He opened his eyes and tried to scoot away from me. I whimpered at him to let him know it’s ok. I eased up to him so he wouldn’t feel threatened. He stretched his hand out and pet my fur “nice wolf” he said smiling. I wanted to hug him but how? I closed my eyes tightly and transformed back into my human counterpart
“What the hell K?” Trey said.
“I don’t know what happened either, it's crazy”
“no, you’re butt ass nude! Come on man nobody wants to see that'' he said covering his eyes.
“oh s**t” I said running away to my room to put on clothes.
That was the only time it happened and I was praying for a Hail Mary right now cause this wolf was on my ass.
Be the wolf
Be a wolf
Be something s**t, I shouted in my own mind trying to not die. Oh well, I gotta make a way. I saw a big oak tree right in front of me and I ran full speed for it.
Please work.i thought as I ran full speed to the tree and zigged away from the tree at the last minute
wam
I heard the wolf run into the tree and I kept on running. I looked behind me real quick and he was gone. “Yes,” I thought relieved. I turned around and “oh s**t” I shouted
Third person POV
Kaylee wasn’t looking where she was going and like a linebacker tackled Ryan down to the ground
“Owww” she said as she landed on top of him
“Where’s the fire?” He asked her with a smirk on his face
“No fire just a wolf” she said looking him dead in the eyes
“What? Where?” “Show me” he said frantically
“I will but you have to let go of me first”, she said
Ryan looked and noticed he had his arms wrapped around her body.
“Oh my bad”
He let her go and she got off of him. He got up and said “show me where you saw the wolf”
She walked him around the back of the estate where she caused the wolf to run into the tree.
“It was over here” she said pointing towards the tree. Ryan walked over to the tree and started to inspect the area. There were paw marks, fur and animal blood all over and around the tree.
Ryan turned to Kaylee and asked “what the hell were you doing out here anyways?”
He looked at her and waited for an answer.
“What does it look like I was doing”, she said gesturing up and down her body showing her attire.
Ryan enjoyed the view
“I was running,” she said with her hand on her hip
“You go running like that?” He asked, looking at her.
“And what’s wrong with how I look when I work out?” she asked spinning around so he could see her whole body. Her toned physique had him speechless. She was in great shape. Not too muscular but very toned and defined. The way the fabric of the work out clothes were clinging to her sweaty body made him wish she would just take them off.
“At ease soldier” she said breaking him out of his trance
“What?” He asked confused
She twirled her finger in the air and then pointed down to the now obvious b***r in his pants.
He covered himself in shock “Well it’s the morning time and it’s totally normal”
he said, trying to shift and make it less obvious. She giggled and replied
“hey no judgement here Mr Alpha”
She made her way towards the front door and Ryan’s wolf became uneasy.
“Come on man don’t let her get away”
“she lives down the hall shut up”
“say something “
hey how many miles did you run” He blurted out to Kaylee.
“smooth”, His wolf said agitated.
“I’m not sure, let's see” she said, looking down at her watch.
“2.5”
“That’s alright but it could be better. I know some really cool trails on the estate. I’d be happy to show you if you’re up for it”
“FYI I was chased by a wolf so it cut my run short but sure I’ll take you up on your offer. . She nodded and jogged inside. Ryan stood there for a minute smiling and looking at the door.
“What are we looking at?” Chase asked as he walked up.
“Nothing let’s get to the pack”
With that they walked away to gather the pack. no matter how much he tried to shake it Ryan realized he was smitten by Kaylee.
