CHAPTER 2
1182 Words
I woke up when something fell on my head.
Groaning, I opened my eyes and looked around.
The sun was unbearably bright and hurting my eyes.
Then I saw a pine cone by me, which I'm pretty sure hit me.
My mind felt fuzzy.
"What is your name rogue?"
A male voice, seemingly coming out of nowhere, cut through the air.
I was a bit startled to hear someone in the middle of nowhere but I looked up nonetheless.
I saw a man standing a few feet away from me, and I couldn't help notice that he was butt naked.
I quickly shielded my eyes.
"Argh, dude, don't you have manners? Put some clothes on! That's just disgusting." I scowled, trying to shake the image out of my head.
I could feel the slight remnants of a headache as I did that.
"Funny you should say that, have you taken a look at yourself?" I heard him chuckle.
Oh no.
That's when I felt the wind hit my skin.
My bare skin.
I was naked.
I was mortified.
And I was very naked.
This realization made the last remnants of fogginess start to dissipate.
I quickly tried to cover as much as I could with my arms, not understanding how the hell I ended up here naked.
The guy just chuckled and chugged a shirt at me. I quickly put it on and it reached mid thigh, which I was grateful for.
I pushed back to lean against a tree and pulled my knees up so that I could pull the baggy shirt over my knees to my feet to cover up everything.
I still felt naked.
The man, by this time, had put on a pair of shorts.
I tried to rack my brain for any memories of how I got here but at this moment all memories still seemed hazy.
"I said what is your name rogue?" The man said a bit more authoritative this time. He had a very tall and muscular build with scars lining his chest. He looked like he'd been attacked by a lion and been fortunate enough to survive it.
I was too busy studying him to actually understand his odd question.
I was also too busy contemplating the odds of my safety here in the middle of what seems to be nowhere with this strange man. A man who had been naked and staring at me like 5 seconds earlier.
But for some reason I didn't feel scared.
"Rogue?" I question.
"What. Is. Your. Name?" The man said clearly getting annoyed.
"Adriane, and you are?" I asked.
The man seemed surprised at my question. It was then that I saw other men coming up from behind him, bless them, they were not naked. All just in shorts.
They seemed as though they were scouring the area.
Again, I should be concerned that I'm in the middle of this forest by myself surrounded by trees and some bulky looking men. What if they want to attack me?
"Beta Shawn." he replied. One of the men said something to him in a low tone which I didn't catch and he nodded in response.
Probably discussing which one of my organs to sell to the highest bidder.
Again I had all these thoughts, but I didn't actually feel scared.
Was that normal?
"Beta? Isn't that like a girls name or something?" I asked. Beta sounds pretty girly if you ask me.
"No, it isn't, it's a title given t- wait, shouldn't you know this? Where exactly are you from? Which pack?"
He asked me, raising his eyebrows.
"Pack? Okay now you've lost me." I was beginning to think that this guy escaped from the Looney bin.
Probably explains why he was naked.
"How did you get here?"
"I actually don't remember." I said. I tried to recall the last events that led to my being here. The last thing I remember was waking up with a lot of pain...
"Follow me." he said sighing and turned around.
And I did. Because I had no idea on how to get out of here and so far no one had made any move to steal my kidneys.
"Can you shift?" He turned around and asked me.
"Shift what?" Damn this guy was strange. Maybe there are a few screws loose...
And yet I'm following him.
Like I said, I don't have many options here.
He just stared at me wide eyed before shaking his head.
"Never mind." He said and we continued our journey.
--------------
"You're a werewolf." the woman named Rose, who had given me a change of clothing at a house Shawn described as the pack house said to me. Rose was probably a middle-aged woman, with auburn hair that reached her shoulders and warm brown eyes.
She said it like it was the most obvious and normal thing in the world.
I couldn't help the laugh that escaped my lips, although it immediately stopped the moment I saw the serious look in her eyes.
"Wait, what?"
After that came a long lecture about werewolves but I zoned out.
I was probably dreaming right now, or I was begining to lose my mind.
Did I actually just hear her say I'm a werewolf?
As in mythical creature werewolf?
Full moon werewolf?
Twilight werewolf?
Teen wolf werewolf?
What on earth was going on?
Rose waved a hand in front of my face making me focus my attention back on her.
"I said did you shift last night?" Rose asked me snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Shift what?" I asked rather stupidly.
"Into your wolf-, weren't you listening to me?" She asked as her brows creased a little.
"I'm sorry you lost me at I'm a werewolf." I answered truthfully and sighed, rubbing my forehead.
I squeezed my eyes shut and took a deep breath.
I should have woken up by now, I gotta stop sleeping so late. My dreams are just getting too weird at this point.
She chuckled a little just as she was about to say something Shawn entered the room we were in. This time he was wearing a shirt and jeans.
He seemed to be in his late twenties. His copper colored hair was tussled up and he seemed sweaty.
I have never seen features so vividly in my dreams before.
"The Alpha requests your presence, Adriane." he said, facing me.
"The what? Alpha?" I asked raising both eyebrows. Oh no, I've been thrown into an episode of teen wolf. Although, seeing Stiles right now would make this somewhat better.
I could feel myself begining to sweat.
"Oh gosh, this s**t is real." I said more to myself than the people in the room with me.
Shawn turned to Rose with a questioning look.
"I thought you went through the basics with her." he said to Rose.
"Sorry Beta Shawn, apparently she wasn't listening." she said turning to face me.
"Okay, no time for that, Adriane, let's go, she can do the explaining later." Shawn said and we were out of the door.
