I dreamed of the black wolf again, it became a human again .. but now the brown wolves were there too. and they became humans to.
I forced myself to try to focus but everything was so blurred.
I heard them talking to each other but I couldn't hear what they said.
suddenly the man who must have been the black wolf turns around.. its… its David. He comes closer to me and asks if I'm okay. everything turns black. I throw myself out of bed and look around. it hurt so f*****g muck but if someone askes I'? feel much better now. I need to get home... I looked out the window it is bright. it must be morning. Fuck.. I must have been here for over a day... I looked around me. I'm in a room, a large room where there is a King size bed, a three seater sofa, coffee table, TV. exercise equipment.... what is this for room .. I went to the batroom again, also the bathroom is large.
There was a shower and a jacuzzi bathtub. I wonder a little how I missed all this before. But it's not so strange I saw barely a meter ahead because I was so exhausted.
I felt my stomach growl. just then a girl came in, At my age maybe a little older she had long chestnut-colored hair.
"Hey jessi I'm Layla I'm Alpha William and Luna Grace's daughter. How nice to meet you I hope you're hungry" she said and smiled. Layla brought with her a tray of food I look at it wide-eyed So much food…
"I didn't really know what you like to eat, so I took a little of each you eat only what you can" she said a little shyly
There were eggs, two kinds of cereal, a large glass of orange juice, chocolate drink, crispbread, dark sandwiches and light sandwiches. There was cheese, two kinds of ham, jam, sausage, scrambled eggs. I look at Layla and giggle
"How should I be able to choose from all of this?".
"why choose something? eat a little of each" she said with a smile as if it was the obvious choice in the world.
I ate until I couldn't take it anymore, but oh how good it was.
"I was told what happened. I'm so sorry. I'm here if you want to talk about it. Even if you don't want to talk." She looked at me with care. Not even the slightest judge in her eyes, and it felt like a kind of understanding maybe she had also been exposed to something? I dismissed the thought, I didn't have time .. I have to go home.
"Strangely enough, I'm okay….. I know I wasn't the first because they told me there had been others.. I'm glad I was the last. Thank goodness they didn't do anything more absurd before ...." I look at her with a worried face. "at the risk of sounding crazy I was rescued by a big f*****g wolf ..." I said before I could stop myself. now I'm sure to end up in the psycheward... damn ..
I thought about my dream again. it's so weird why did the dream feel so real? why did I survive? why did the wolf not hurt me?..
"Do you remember anything?" Layla asked curiously.
"no but I had such a strange dream .. the wolf talking and it ... it turned into a human ..." I looked at Layla and she looked at me and gave me a calming smile. why did I feel so safe with these people? it's so strange.
Layla's eyes glamered just like Grace's , it knocked on the door. It was Grace. she sat on the edge of the bed and asked if it was okay if I could answer a couple of questions. I nodded.
She asked things like when I was born, where I came from, about my family, then she asked me if I felt different from other people, which was weird .. but I decided to answer honestly ..
"Yes I have always felt that I don't belong .. the girls in school were angry because I was better at almost every sport we had, I started underperforming to make them happy I had to quit school abruptly when I was 14 because that was when Fredrik my so-called father stopped paying Diana my mother every month, we had to have an income so I started working as a dishwasher at the diner. " I look curiously at Layla and Grace.
"so-called dad you say, how comes that?" Grace asked curiously.
"Fredrik is convinced that I'm not his daughter he has always ignored me and refused to claim that I am his. I can't blame him. I dont look like my mother or so-called father, had it not been because there was evidence that Diana was my mom, I would have thought that I was adopted .." I replied with sadness in my voice.
"so you don't know who your father is at all?" Layla asked.
"No, according to Diana, Fredrik is my father. She slept with another man and experienced pregnant symptoms after a few weeks. She first thought that it was her one night stand that was my father, but when she went to the doctor she found out that the fetus was developed as a 16 week old baby and had it been the other man they would have been impossible more than 8 weeks into the pregnancy.Therefore, Diana has always claimed that I am Fredrik's daughter .. She jokes that I am the devil's offspring .. According to her, if the other man made her pregnant I was only in the womb for 5 months but I came out fully developed so its impossible .." I answered.
Layla and Grace look at each other and then at me .. "Dear child I don't even know where to start .." Grace said with sadness in her voice. She took a deep breath.
I look at her curiously.
There was a knock on the door and David came in. "Hey Is it okey if I come in?" I nodded "how are you? is it okay if I sit down next to you ?. We apparently have a lot to talk about .." he said and looked carefully into my eyes.
I got lost in them, then Grace and Layla told him about my dream, Great now he also knows that I am mentally unstable .. They told him about my parents and we talked for a while about that.. That's when Grace suddenly turned around and said "I don't want to scare you but your mother was pregnant for 5 months .. it only takes 5 months for a werewolf to fully develop .. we develop twice as fast as an ordinary human in the womb .. " She smiled gently.
What the f**k! I felt so confused, 5 months? werewolf? we? ehm does that mean my dream WAS true? A memory?.. we? wait? What?
"AM I A WEREWOLF?" I finally got out of me .
"Grace you are scaring her .." David said. He began to stroke my back in circles again. So strange as soon as I felt the sparks like he gives me electric shocks I felt calmer .. In fact I like it. I looked at his blonde hair he had combed back with wax, it was longer in the middle and the sides were cut down, he had such beautiful blue eyes and so kissable lips. I found myself catching sight of his lips. I looked up and saw that he was looking at mine too. I looked down at the cover on the bed and felt how I blushed. I'm an i***t ..
"Yes you are a werewolf just like us .. we only have less then a month to your 18th birthday and you have so much to learn .. So we have to speed up. I'm so sorry it's thrown at you this way but you need to know what you are for something " Grace said while stroking my knee.
I felt almost relieved .. I had another dad .. I was odd because I'm a werewolf? but how could I not know that? shouldn't I be able to transform .. I have 1000 questions …
"You probably have lots of questions and I promise to answer them all" Layla sat down closer to me and took my hand in hers. She looked up at David and down at me again and smiled.
"What happens when I turn 18?" I look Layla deep in the eyes .. "That's when your wolf comes out, you have a part of your brain in latent that's where your wolf is. When she is released, you will be able to communicate with each other. It's like always having a best friend with you. in the head.." said layla with a smile.
"Best friend? Yes, of course," Davif interrupted
"oh sorry! me and Xavier which is my wolf can't say we are best friends, friends yes but not best friends .. do you remember anything from ehm... that night.." David looked ashamed.
"I think I saw you .. it was a black wolf with yellow eyes .. and it shifted and turned into you .. " I look him sharply in the eyes because I just realized that inside the diner I had seen a yellow shift in David's eyes when he mentioned something about a wolf needing to eat .. it was really a wild guess ..
"It was Xavier, he heard your cries and hurried to you as fast as his legs could carry him ...sorry .. I wish we had arrived earlier .. " He looked shyly down at the covers on the bed.
I got such an overwhelmed feeling to hug him, before I could stop myself I had wrapped my arms around him and held him tight. He answered my hug and put his chin on my head. I knew I should let go but damn that felt so magical. They were electric shocks and sparks. It felt so amazing I could have been there all my life .. But I had to pull away from there. I blushed when I met David's gaze. He smiled and took my hand in his and hugged it tight. I felt sparks and I feelt safe...
