Demonic Wolves

The Great Unknown

There are normally seven stages that you go through before death. Everyone truly only knows about the light stage, the one in which you are able to see the light of the afterlife.

But, is that truly what is beyond death? What if instead of a light, we are stuck in utter isolation, with no way out, with no one to talk to. You are forever stuck in the paradox that is your mind.

No one is able to hear your screams, your cries of agony, it all never ending. The silence becoming your biggest torture mechanism.

Of course no one is able to come back from the dead and explain to us what exactly happens, no that is for us to consider and speculate. Which makes me wonder as to how everyone will react when they see that I have ‘come back from the dead.’ Not only did I come back from the dead but I also came back as a completely different person.

I can feel it as well. My body feels lighter, my arms feel as if they are able to pick up a whole car. My body over all feels much more stronger.

I look up and see the bright white light, I am completely hypnotized by it. My feet begin to move forward, my steps slow and dazed. I reach out towards the light, my hand lightly feeling the warmth it radiates.

A smile graces my lips at the feeling, I am alive, I can feel. My feet move at a much more quicker pace, my hand still in front of me. I feel like I am one with the light. We are one, we are together.

My feet are finally in front of the light, the feeling of the warmth captivates me. My arms spread in an eagle position. My head looks up to what would be considered the sky.

A gasp escapes my lips once I see the millions of stars that are in above me. The dark night sky in contrast with the millions of blinking small orbs leaves me in awe. A shooting star passes by me, shooting across the sky and disappearing in another second.

I let out a small laugh at this, it’s so beautiful here, everything is mystical, like I’m in some far away land of some sort. But, my hands slowly lower and my smile slowly die, this isn’t where I am meant to be.

I do not belong in this place, I belong with the six crazy wolves that have become so much more of a family than the one that I was given for the last sixteen years.

“C’mon kiddo.” My eyes meet the sharp blazing red of Violentiam, behind him stands Sapientiae both looking at me with warm and welcoming smiles.

I let a smile of my own come up and slowly walk towards them. They both step forward as well, they’re steps filled with elegance.

We meet each other in the middle, our smiles still present on our faces. I tilt my head as my smile slowly starts to fade.

“How is this going to work?” I ask with a hint of hesitation.

“The light.” He says as he starts to move towards it. I tilt my head in confusion as I look towards Sapientiae in confusion. She too is headed towards the light, both walking laid back and relaxed.

I follow them, both blindly and stupidly. But, they both have my trust, though a short time knowing them, I have grown a deep sense of trust for them, and I won’t break that trust any time soon.

So we step towards the light, the three of us walking towards the ‘Great Unknown’ not understand where the light will take us, but being skeptical enough to trust it.

I am soon engulfed in the light, I bask in the warmth as I step more towards it letting us become one. My eyes look towards the both of them, they both watch me and nod forward.

I step forward feeling the light and I become one, I feel it enter me. Me and the light, we have united as one.

“Welcome to your new life, little one.”

And with that my knees meet the floor as my vision blackens.

Not again.

***

Muffled sniffles make their way to my ears, the feeling of my heavy limbs reaches its way to me. One second I felt like the strongest person ever and now I feel as if my arms are twigs. Ugh this is frustrating. I try to open my eyes but they are sealed shut.

What is this feeling? Why won’t my eyes open?

“Lucifer it’s been four days, please let us take her now, Lucifer are you listening?”

“No.”

“Lucifer, this has gone on long enough, we have given you time to mourn but now----

“I said NO! Please just give me a few moments alone.”

The sound of the door shutting is the last thing that I am met with before my left hand is engulfed. The feeling of fresh, salty tears coming down on my skin makes the hairs on my arms stand.

“Please don’t let this be true, please, she can’t be gone. Please, please don’t do this to me, Selene, please bring her back. You’re the Moon Goddess you should be able to bring her back to life, so please bring Evelina back, I can’t lose her too.”

Lucifer? No please don’t think that way, I am here, with you. Please don’t waste your tears. But no matter how hard I try my eyes just won’t open. My heart breaks at his words, why should he feel this way, this is not his fault. So why should he feel this way.

My fingers twitch in frustration, the frustration of not being able to move or open my eyes. I hear a gasp nearby, my hand which was once held securely between the two of his is now let go of completely. My fingers twitch again, already missing the contact of his skin, he lets out another gasp of surprise.

There is another shift in movement on my left, this time of someone getting up, I feel said person hovering over my head, gazing at me with a direct look. My eyes try to open up again and I end up letting an audible grunt slip past my lips. There is another shift from above and this time I feel them much more closer than before.

My nose smells that of sandalwood and the forest, taking in Lucifer’s natural smell. A whimper makes its way past my lips this time, the frustration of not being able to formally communicate with him apparent. Behind my eyelids I am able to make light, this gives me a sense of hope, I might be able to open my eyes if I just relax more and will myself to open them. So that’s exactly what I do, I let my contracted muscles finally relax, my entire body going lack.

I let my worries slip away and concentrate on opening my eyes. In the back of my mind I see my wolf, she is asleep right now, on her stomach she lays ever so calmly. I can’t blame her, it’s been hectic around here, so many transformations have been happening in such a short amount of time.

She slowly peeks an eye open, her eyes, once a defining dark color are no longer said darn color. No, now adorning her eyes are a beautiful mixture of purple and red, creating a type of sunset effect on her eyes.

Her slowly opens both eyes and gazes at me as I gaze back. We both continue to peer at each other, both taking in the new amount of changes that have overcome us.

Behind her I am able to peer at something shining, something glowing brightly and making me squint.

“Kid, stop squinting your eyes like that.” Violentiam. My eyes meet his eyes, I let out a gasp once I see that his eyes are the same as my wolf’s. Both a bright sunset shade, it looks like a mixture of color.

Behind him Sapientiae comes us and stands right next to him, both of the with their eyes a distinct and beautiful shade. Now we all stare at each other.

My wolf walks up to the both of them and shows her belly, giving her submission to them. They both gaze at her with a soft stare, Violentiam reaches out and nuzzles her neck, showing her that she is okay. He turns to me, his gaze direct and focused.

“You understand your responsibilities as the new Alpha and Luna, right? You understand that now it is you that will have to protect them? That you will be the one leading them? We believe in you, Ki—Evelina, we truly believe that you have the potential to do amazing things, but that’s only if you allow each and every one of us to guide you, and teach you our ways.”

I smile at this. As if I would have been able to handle all of this without a little guidance. I hear them let out chuckles, I tilt my head in confusion as to why they are laughing.

Sapientiae stops her giggling in order to look at me. “You do realize that we are one with you now? All you thoughts and memories are with us now as well. What you just said was heard by all of us.”

My face turns red at this, the embarrassment that makes its way into my body does not go unnoticed, for the once silent room is once again engulfed in obnoxious laughter.

I stomp my foot and cross my arms, the uncross them at realizing that I am not five years old. I can handle jokes and laughs, I let my own laughter bubble forward at this.

Soon enough our laughter dies down and we are soon met with silence once again.

“So, what happens now?” My wolf finally speaks, her voice high pitched and squeaky.

“Well I guess you need to wake up Evelina.”

“But how?” I ask, my confusion rising once again. My guess is just as good as yours on what I am supposed to do. There just isn’t a possible explanation on what to do, how do you wake yourself up from a possible coma. Nobody does know, it just happens, your brain finally decides that it’s done resting and wakes your body up along with it.

“The same way that you would transform into your wolf, close your eyes and imagine yourself awakening. Picture your room, Lucifer, anything that will wake you up.” Violentiam tells me as he lays on his belly. “Go ahead, we aren’t going anywhere Evelina, we are a part of you now, so don’t worry, once you wake up we will still be here.”

Sapientiae follows his lead as well, laying on her belly and gazing at me. My wolf slowly approaches me, she stands tall and proud as she gazes at me. I let a smile of my own graze my lips as I turn to lay on the ground.

I close my eyes and imagine myself waking up. I imagine my beautiful lavender walls that I was gifted once I arrived here. I imagine waking up in my silk, white bed sheets, the soft fabric making contact with my skin. I imagine the look on Lucifer’s face once he sees me open my eyes, the look of sorrow leaving his face to let happiness make its appearance.

My smile stays on my lips as these images past through my mind in a never ending slide show. My mind feels lighter, as if I’m floating but I don’t dare open my eyes with the thought that all this might be gone.

My eyes open on their own accord as I shoot up from my lying position. My body feels overall super heavy, as if I have been underwater this entire time. My nerves kick up, the feeling of my legs shaking awakens me all the more.

My eyes move towards my hands, the once tan colored skin now a shocking pale. The sight of my veins peeking through my skin, sends shivers through my body, the mixture of greens and blues a contrast against my skin.

My eyes twitch, my eyesight is a hundred times better than it was before. I can make out the smallest of specks, the dust particles that appear through the sunlight that has made its way into my room. My eyes shift from surface to surface making out things that I wasn’t able to notice before.

For one, the many cracks that adorn the floor, what once was a beautiful, polished floor, is now a still beautiful and polished floor but with many cracks and scratches that the regular naked eye wouldn’t be able to noticed. My eyes move to my right where I am able to make out piercing red eyes, he gazes at me, both with fear and relief.

Fear that he may be dreaming, and relief that he is seeing me alive once more. My vision becomes blurry at seeing his beautiful face, though it may feel like I was only gone for a couple of minutes, it still felt like the longest minutes of my life, knowing that I was given the opportunity to be here with my father figure once more makes me feel so emotional.

One minute I’m sitting on my bed, and the next I am crawling into Lucifer’s lap and letting out the most heart wrenching sobs.

Truth be told, I was scared, seeing myself standing before the Moon Goddess herself made me lose hope, thinking that I would die right before I could amount myself into something made me sad, I thought I would never be able to express my gratitude to these six wolfs, these crazy six wolfs that have brought nothing but happiness into my life. Though we only met two months ago, like I have said a million times before I wouldn’t change it for the world.

Sitting in Lucifer’s lap right this moment brings me nothing but joy, though I am sobbing, I’m happy, I swear I am. But I just can’t stop crying, the sudden shock of almost dying must have hit me right this second, the fear of not being able to live another day causing me to cling onto the only thing that kept me stable these past two months, that being Lucifer.

In the back of my mind I am able to make out my wolf, laying on the floor as she gazes at something, looking towards what has her attention I see Violentiam and Sapientiae both laying there just looking at her. I open my eyes with sudden shock.

It wasn’t a dream. They really inside of me, right in this moment there are three wolves living inside of me. I look up towards Lucifer, his eyes are already on me, and because of the sudden shock of seeing his eyes already on me, I jump and hide my face in his chest once more.

A chuckle escaped his lips, his hand reaches up and ruffles my hair, making me try and squirm away from his advances. My squirming lands me jumping on bed in order to avoid his hands. Through all of this there is a smile on his face, the happiness that he radiates is contagious, and I soon find myself laughing and smiling along with him. We are trapped in our own little world that we don’t notice the door opening.

“Evie?” Lucifer and I both freeze, our heads turning in the direction of the door, both of us looking like deers caught in the headlights. Aki looks on, his jaw wide open and his face filled with the utmost shock. We are soon crying again, me being caught in the middle of their embrace. The tears just won’t stop, the thought of never seeing Aki---no the thought of never seeing my brother wasn’t something that I would have wanted.

I want to be here. That thought made my eyes widen, my sobs grew louder as I buried my face into Aki’s neck, I never wanted to die, right in this moment, where I am now, is where I want to be, with them. With Faith, Damon, Dianne, Howakhan, with all of them. They’re my family and I wouldn’t change them for the world.

“I missed you guys so much, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry for leaving you guys like this, god I’m such a coward, I’m sorry, I promise to be a good leader, please just---” Aki’s hand covers my mouth as a set of chuckles escapes his. My brows furrow as my eyes look over to see Lucifer also laughing.

I let out a grunt as I move my face away from Aki’s hand, looking on in confusion as both men, quite literally, die of laughter. Their laughter dies down as soon as I step of the bed, I ignore both of their protest as I make my way downstairs, both of them following behind me.

My light footsteps make their way towards the kitchen. Both Aki and Lucifer follow me along, their hurried footsteps making their way onto my ear. All eyes in the kitchen make their way towards us, four pairs of eyes gaze at us with alarm, their eyes blazing with apprehension.

We all freeze, our eyes reflecting a million different types of emotions. None of us know what to do with the situation that has been presented to us. Damon rushing towards me is what breaks ya of out trance, his arms engulf me in a big bear hug.

My own arms wrap around him, the overwhelming feeling of the comfort and love he brings engulfing me. I let out a happy laugh as soon as the others join in on the hug, each one of them wrapping their arms around me and Damon and letting themselves feel at home once more.

Like a family should.

No…because who allowed me to go for so long without updating lmao. If anyones still reading this let me know i have drafts that i just haven’t picked up in a while because i was unsure of my writing at the time. In further chapters I will be switching to third person pov, i’m sorry if you don’t like that form of writing. I will be updated shortly this week, though this won’t be in Evelina’s POV, we haven’t been introduced to our male lead.

It’s actually quite funny but seeing you guys comment even in 2021 gave me a slight bit of motivation to post, even if I’m not confident in the writing I still want to keep you guys updated with the story and continue and update it will of you in mind. :) sorry for such a delay I promise to try harder to post.
