I started doing some research on my own for history project in case tomorrow ends up the same as today.
Volar con el viento
Y sentir que se para el tiempo
Pintar el momento
Y las nubes ir persiguiendo
Saber cantar, pasarlo bien
Ir por las calles y querer
Volar con el viento
Y sentir que se para el tiempo
The song disturbed me from my work. And without looking at my phone I knew who it was. I put this song just for him.
“Hey.”
“Hey sis. What are you doing?”
“Just researching something for my history project that is due next week. And we have to work in pairs. Aaand I’m paired with our dear new neighbor Jay.”
I heard him chuckle after hearing my complaining.
“And now you know what I’m doing. Can you tell me what are you doing?” I suddenly heard cars in the background.
“And, where are you?”
There was a moment of silence before he spoke again.
“At the airport.”
Airport?!
“Becca?”
“Airport?! You can’t be leaving. You just came back! What the hell are you doing there?”
“Don’t worry I’m not leaving. I’m here because I’m waiting for someone.”
“For who?”
Another long pause when nobody said anything.
“My girlfriend.”
What?! Do I finally get to meet his girlfriend?
“Really?”
“Yes. Really.”
“Good. Tell me something about her.”
“Well, her name is Tina. And she is 24. She’s still in college. She’s studying medicine in Boston. And we met about 2 and a half years ago and been dating for almost 2 years.”
2 years? I’ve known about her for less than a year!
“So, I take it she’s special. Considering you’re letting me meet her.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Well because of your stupid logic that you aren’t letting me meet any of your girlfriends unless you’re serious about her and it’s gonna last I say she’s the one.”
I heard something weird over the phone that sounded like they shared a kiss.
“Did she come?”
“Yes.”
“Well then bye I don’t want you to keep away from her.”
“Fine. I’ll see you tomorrow for dinner. Eat something today too okay?”
“Yes. I’ll eat. See you tomorrow.”
And with that we ended our call and I felt too tired to continue with my work so I closed my books and went to take a quick shower and changed into some more comfortable clothes considering I was still wearing a dress.
Soon I fell asleep but because I’m a light sleeper I was woke by my window opening and closing. Just when I was ready to scream a hand came to my mouth and looking, I saw it was Jay. After that I just glared at him. How dare he woke me up in the middle of the night?!
“I just want to talk. Will you please not scream?”
I nodded my head and he removed his hand from my mouth. And with that I grabbed my pillow and hit him with it a couple of times.
“Why…on Earth…did you have to…wake me up…in the middle…of the friking night…like some creep?”
After that I stopped hitting him with my pillow.
“You done?” I nodded my head still glaring at him.
“Like I said. I just want to talk.”
“About what? How you hate me for some weird reason? What did I ever do you to hate me so much?” I didn’t mean to ask him that.
He ignored my question and went and sit on my indoor chair swing in the corner of my room.
“I want you to tell me about how your friend got that bite. The truth please.”
“You already know. The dog-”
“It was not a dog.”
“And how do you know it was not the dog?”
“Because I was there Re. I saw everything.”
I froze. How could he be there. The only humans there was me and Ella. Was he…?
“Yes Re. I’m one of those two wolfs you saw that night. The one who saved you by the way. So, you welcome for saving your ass.”
I kept on staring at him like a bimbo. He patiently waited for me to come to my senses before he spoke again.
“So please. Tell me. What were you two thinking going there like that. I mean I was trying to come up with a reason but I got nothing. Did you even thought about how it could end? How your ridiculous adventure could end?”
I looked down because no we didn’t think. We just did it. And now we’re paying for it. Well Ella is. I’m okay. I’m not the one who could die on the next full moon. “You didn’t.”
After that there was a long silence before I asked him what he was (stupid question. I know.).
“A werewolf.” I just nodded my head at that.
After that he started telling me more about werewolf. He explained some stuff that’s going to happen to Ella.
“On the blood moon. Our wolfs completely take over. And we turn into beasts. Monsters. Those who already have a mate are easier controlled and those who are too young to have one. But when you’re old enough to find one and you don’t have one you can’t be controlled. You can only hope you won’t kill anyone. And that no one will be stupid enough to come in the forest. But some people are just stupid. Your friend-”
“Ella.”
“What?”
“Ella. Her name is Ella.”
“Fine. Ella will be just fine because the wolf that almost killed you and wounded her is her mate. We were fighting almost for the rest of the night and when the blood moon was over, we shifted and he told me that you friend – Ella – is his mate. That is why she will turn into a werewolf on the full moon. And when that happens it would be good that someone that went through the shift is beside her. Your first shift is never easy and it hurts like hell. You fell your bones break and shift for the first time. Her mate. Drake. Said that he wants to be there for her. So, you will have to bring her to me. And I will take her in the forest where she will shift while you won’t be there. After that Ella and Drake will have to talk. Because they’re mates and she has a boyfriend. And they can still reject each other. One of them says the magical words and the mate bond between them will be broken. And it can’t be fixed.”
After that he turned around like he was about to leave but I stopped him when he had his back to me.
“Why are you telling be about rejection?”
Without looking at me he said
“The reason I didn’t kill you that night was because of you. Because I wanted to protect you. Because you’re my mate.”
God no. I’m his mate? I never wanted to have a boyfriend. Especially after recent events that took place in my life.
But right now. The little girl that was dreaming of meeting someone that will care for her and love her started jumping inside of me. She came back for a moment. And for a moment I imagined my future. How could it be with him.
But after what he said next the little girl was broken. The image if that future was broken.
“I’m telling you this because I reject you Rebecca. Because I don’t want to be your mate.”
And he said all of that without even turning to look at me.
“I always wanted a mate. A mate that was a werewolf like me. A strong mate that could defend herself. Not a weak, pathetic human like you. Look at you. You’re too thin I can almost see your bones. That’s why we will do the project and then live on ignoring each other. Like nothing ever happened. Like we never met.”
And after that he opened my window and left.
And I let a single tear slip from my eyes.
