The Secret She Never Knew

The Little Wolf's Big Problem

Casey’s POV

I find the cafeteria go up to the counter under my hoodie with my glasses and the gloves over my hands trying to protect myself as much as I can from the light.  To have the girl’s behinds the counter tells me that mine kind is not welcome here not quite understanding what they mean by my kind.  I understand though it is not like I look like anyone else if I did not know any better, I would think I was a crazy bomber too, but we all got to eat even us crazy one’s lol.  For some reason though they give in and give me what I order.  I turn around sharply only to run into a brick wall I scream not knowing who or what this is, only to look up and see Ron covering his ears because of my screams.  I start apologizing for running into him and try to clean him off only to be stopped telling me everything is fine.  Once I gather myself, he guides me to a table setting me down when he askes why I came here alone.

I explain that when I ask the guards for anything, they simply roll their eyes and growl under their breath, so I try not to bother them if I do not have to.  I think they believe that I cannot hear them, but with my adaption to the dark a few other senses have been slightly heightened. I did not realize how ever that everyone in your little town was so judgie thought.  I am used to the sideways glances and the names that I am called but being completely unwanted some place that I am helping is kind of rude.  If I do say so myself and trust me if anyone knows about mistreatment I do better, then most accurately.  I have lived a long time hiding and covering up who I am.  I have learned how to play who I need to be depending on who I am around.  I just have not figured out who you want me to be here.

He tells me that I just need to be who I am.  That I should not have to change for anyone.

I tell him I want him to meet who I really am before he tells me that.  My true self is much scarier than he thanks.  That is a secret I that I will not tell but must come out on its own.  Anyway, he bids his farewell off to save some other damsel in destress I guess lol.  Before he runs off, I ask if he still plans on meeting tonight at 11 about the little one, he says of course she is all that matters to him right now.  I still have a hard time understand why all these men are so found of these wolves they all seem to have.  I also do not understand how they are finding them.  These are some exceedingly rare breeds of dogs that need special care.  I guess that means I will always have work but is it really good for the wonderful beast to try to be tamed.  This is something I have always wondered, is taming these wonderful beasts, trying to put them in these cages we call society is it really good for there lifespan or even their psyche?

Pulling me from my inner thoughts I hear Ron reply see tonight little Dr he laughs.

Before I can finish one of the guards come running into the cafeteria looking everywhere franticly then he spots me in the darkest corner hiding from everyone well at least that is what he thinks.  He comes running over to me and looks me over frowning not understanding why I am hiding, I guess.  I just look up at him and shake my head motioning to the bench across from me.  He raises on eyebrow not sure if she should trust me or not.   So, Sam slowly sets down while I finish eating.  Not paying much attention to him I slowly eat until I start to feel heat on my wrist, I look down long enough to see skin is showing and will be smoking soon.  I every quickly pull my sleeves down only to hear Sam say damn girl you are on fire.  I look up at him rolling my eyes even thought I know he cannot see me.  He says I have a question for you I have been holding for a while now.

Ok I say tell me what is on your mind big man.

Why do you always hide who you are from the world? He finally huffs out looking at me like I may grow another head from what he has asked.

I just chuckle lightly with a small smile on my face shaking my head, “I have a small problem with the sun if my skin is touched my light it starts to smoke like you saw and the if not covered I will be burning.  I have suffered with this my whole life only having it worse the older I get.  Not much I can really do about it though just have to suffer with the pain in the dark.  That is where I usually live hiding never wanting to be seen.”

He looks at me with his eyes wide open very confused by what I had just said only to reply, “is that why you are always in the dark never wanting the lights on?  Is that why no one can really know what you look like because you are covered in burns?”

I shake my head again tell him, “calm down I am not covered in burns because I never let it go that far, and yes I hide to keep myself from burning anymore.  Now if you do not mind I need to go check on the little one, making sure her vitals are what I need them to be for her treatment if that is what Ron wants.”

I head back upstairs after finishing my meal to check on the little one.  When I enter her room, I moved to her as she is trying to open her eyes.  She sees me and fear fills her little face I bare my neck to show submission only glancing up to let her know that I am only there to help when I see she understand.  I slowly make way to her in hopes that she realizes I only want to help her.  I still need to make sure she is ok.  I start checking her leads to see if everything is how I need it to bec and her monitors looking at everything as she watches me ever so closely.  Then I see her beautiful green eyes cloud over, quickly turning to the monitors to make sure everything is fine I see that she is just trying to communicate with her pack.  I see that she is fine I go to the office I start going through the paperwork I have on my little wolf out there.  Trying to decide how to tell Ron that his little wolf just the other side of that wall has a belly full of cancer.  I have an extremely aggressive treatment that will cure the cancer, but the little wolf will suffer greatly.  So, I need to know if he wants to but her through this or if he thinks it would be better to take her eggs and try to implant them in a different wolf to keep the bloodline alive.
