The Legend of the Chosen

CHAPTER 11: REVALATIONS – Alexa’s POV

“Could someone please explain?” James whined, still sitting in his chair.

I did: “I was in high school, and it was breaktime. Since it was a beautiful sunny day, I went in the gardens up front and noticed a young girl, about 7/8 years old who looked like she was lost. Then she started crying, so I immediately went to her, afraid she would wander away from school grounds and into the streets.

When I was walking up to her, she fell on the ground, so I hunched down to help her. As soon as I touched her, she growled at me “Go away” and looked at me with pure black eyes.

I knew then she was a werewolf and was probably about to transform. I didn’t want her to do it there in open space, with all teenagers watching, so I picked her up, and took her inside to the girls’ bathroom.

I told her I wouldn’t hurt her and that she could transform safely in there. She looked at me terrified and told me she had never done it before, she was a late bloomer.

I had no idea what that meant so I said the usual things like don’t worry, it’s natural, it will probably hurt now but it will be so cool later, you’re not alone. After ten minutes she transformed in this beautiful cream-colored wolf, I think I hugged her too. 

After a while she turned human again and we realized she was naked, so I took off my jacket and gave her my long t-shirt I had underneath which looked like a dress on her. I was left with leggings and my jacket, so I didn’t mind.

I asked her where her parents were and she said they came to see the school and had got lost. I told her to wait in the bathroom and not move, that I would go to the reception and call for her parents. The only reason why I didn’t bring her with me is because I was afraid, she would transform again. No one came to the reception after the announcement, so I went back to the bathroom, but she wasn’t there. I panicked and ran back to the receptionist who said the parents had found their little girl and had left.”

Eric looked at me with a surprised expression: “It was you. That’s why your scent is so familiar, your scent was all over the t-shirt.”

“Probably yeah” I said giving him a small smile.

“We never got to thank you” the Luna said squeezing my hands. 

Ronald said: “This is why we decided to help you, Sarah was sure it was you, but we had to be sure by meeting you today.”

“Thankyou” I said looking between them.

In this intense and beautiful moment, where were all looking in admiration for helping each other, my stomach growled loudly making me blush really hard and James laugh out loud. Again, he received disapproving looks from everyone.

“What? She’s hungry and so am I, can we go know?” James asked grinning.

“Yes, you are all free, I made the chef prepare a brunch at the packhouse for you all, go” the Luna smiled at us.

I headed to the door, looked over my shoulder and Eric said: “Go ahead I will be right with you” I nodded and headed out. 

“I’m sorry about your situation.” James said while we were exiting the building.

“Me too” I answered not being able to mask my sadness.

“So, you’re the dancing girl, I knew I’d seen you before! You really like to dance, don’t you?” he said teasing me. He was trying to lighten the mood and I was all for it.

“Apparently so! Has everyone seen me dance on my terrace?” I ask curiously.

“Just the guards. We always have lots of non-mated guards who volunteer to do the evening patrol check just to get to see you. You can really move those hips you know” he replayed grinning.

“Watch it. We had a deal.” I said warning him with a grin.

He held up his hands and grinned too: “Just paying a compliment on your moves, nothing more. I didn’t say anything about your sexy ass”.

A loud growl came from behind us, which made us both turn around and find a pretty angry Eric with pitch black eyes. If looks could kill I thought.

“I was just teasing her to lighten the mood” James said looking at the ground. 

Eric, still pretty angry looking, turned to me and said: “We need to talk” and left. I presumed I was supposed to follow him, so I shrugged at James and left. 

He kept walking fast as we entered the forest behind the packhouse and I was starting to doubt my decision. Going alone in the woods with a guy you just met the day before, no matter how gorgeous, didn’t seem like a good idea any more. So, I hesitated and looked behind me and saw only trees, no going back I realized. I looked around but couldn’t see which way Eric had gone, I tried to stay calm and kept walking.

I was beginning to feel annoyed; how did I get lost?

I heard movement on my left, so I started moving in the opposite direction. I definitely didn’t like the feeling of being a prey that was starting to creep up on me. 

A hand touched my shoulder and I screamed.

“It’s me! Eric!” he yelled at me.

“What the hell Eric?” I screamed at him, trying to push him with both hands but he didn’t even budge. “You and your stupid perfect muscles!” I screamed again.

“I’m sorry…” he said sitting on a rock “I really thought you were behind me.”

“You’re the Alpha? Why didn’t you tell me?” I yelled at him, feeling all rattled up.

He answered looking at me weird: “I didn’t want to scare you”.

I yelled again: “Bulls**t, you wanted to see who I was before deciding what to do.”

“Could you please stop yelling at me? I’m calm now and I don’t want to get angry again.” He said.

I yelled even more: “Are you threatening me? Listen you big deceiving…” 

He hugged me and said: “I’m sorry about the whole situation and I’ll protect you, I promise”.

I started crying with my head on his chest, I couldn’t help it. I never fell apart but to many emotions were in me.  We stood there for a while and I started to feel better.

“I’m sorry I usually don’t break down so easily” I said sniffling.

“It’s ok” he hushed, caressing my hair.

“Why were your eyes black before?” I asked between sniffles, curiously thinking about before.

“I don’t like people talking about your a*s.” he simply answered.

I laughed out loud not letting go of his embrace, while he stared down at me confused. 

“He was just kidding and besides you’re the one that recently had his hand on my butt cheek” I blurted out without thinking. 

Looking deep into my eyes with his own flashing black he whispered: “We only met yesterday but I feel like I want to be the only one who can touch your butt cheek”. 

I didn’t realize that my heart was beating fast and that I deeply wished he would kiss me. While keeping one arm still firmly hugging me, with the other he placed a loose strand of my hair behind my ear, but kept his hand there, caressing my face…

“Eric! Where the hell are you? I have news… Oh I’m sorry. I uhm didn’t mean to interrupt.” William said snapping me out of my trans.

I quickly stepping out of Eric’s embrace and said: “No not at all, we finished looking at the trees so let’s go.” What was happening? This wasn’t me, I didn’t go around nearly kissing cute guys. However, Eric had this way of making feel at peace but, to be honest, aroused too. 

“Alexa you’re going the wrong way” Eric said to me chuckling under his breath.

“Yes, I know, I was just admiring the trees again” I said not looking at either of them.

We exited the forest and we were back near the office building and the pack house. I looked at them and said: “I know my way from here, thanks, see you later”.

I noticed Eric wanted to say something, but he decided against it and simply nodded.
