Demonic Wolves

Time is a Real b***h

Looking up and meeting the cloudy sky I began to wonder why life can be so cruel. Why? Why do some people have to suffer so much? Is fate so cruel that she would truly make anyone that stands in her way suffer? Its been two months since I've been taken in by the Demonic Wolves and through that I have also learned their history and just how much they have suffered.

Demonic Wolves come from 7 Angels that fell from heaven and landed on earth. Each angel landed in the 7 Continents; in order to blend in and try and fit among with the people they each entered themselves into existing members of a pack of wolves. Lucifer (North America) entered an alpha in a nearby pack, Ethereal (Africa) entered a Luna, Aki (Asia) entered a Beta, Damon (Europe) entered a Delta, Howahkan (Australia) entered an enforcer, Dianne (Antarctica) entered a Hunter, and Faith (South America) entered a healer.

The Demonic Wolves lived in peaceful harmony, well sure nobody knew about them but that was the least of their worries, what mattered to them was the fact that they were safe and sound. Well at least that's what they thought, for what they didn't know was that the god's where watching them, waiting for them to mess up. This went on for a 100 years, the Demonic Wolves slowly beginning to forget about the reason that they were on earth and slowly beginning to adjust to the earth's peoples way of living. From what I was explained, the Demonic Wolves protected their packs from creatures that were out to destroy their kind. Be it Dragons, Fairies, Demons etc., they were the people that joined together and helped protect their people from oncoming wars or certain issues, they were like body guards, to put it simply. Even if they hate that I refer to them as just that.

Lucifer explained to me that they were honored, they were sort of worshiped, as his egoistic self so lightly put it. They were known from all around the world as "Guardians", but the truth about them being Demonic Wolves stayed hidden. Faith later on explained that the Gods grew angry at this, they didn't like the fact that instead of being hated and thrown around, they were instead worshiped and glorified. This resulted in Dolus, the God of manipulation coming down from the heavens and manipulating that entire face of earth into believing that Demonic Wolves are the true "devil" and that they were disguised inside of the "Guardians." This threw the entire population of, they began to hate them, despise them with a burning passion. They burned down their homes, tried to put their lives in danger, reported them to the council, anything that would make them more hated then they already were. Demonic Wolves were known as dangerous creatures that if seen upon sight they were to be captured and sent to the gods for "extermination." It was brutal, they didn't have no where to turn to or anybody to trust. They understood that they only had each other.

The reality of what there lives were now was something that still shocked them even to this day, they literally went from 'hero to zero' in a matter of seconds. Aki then went on to say that they remained hidden deep in a forest in Canada, using their powers to remain hidden from the people. The sad reality is that the hatred for Demonic Wolves was passed down from generation to generation. No matter how much they wished for it to stop it just wouldn't.

What happened that night was merely an accident, Ethereal wanted to go look for these special berries that are supposed to hide away scents, "Cloudberries" as they put it. What Ethereal didn't know was that hidden away was a witch, spying on her, waiting for her to confirm that she was in fact a Demonic Wolf. Once Ethereal shifted, the witch captured her and sent her to the realm of the Gods, where she was then proceeded into captivity. Ethereal tried escaping, but she was caught, Zeus was very angry at this and threw one of his lightning bolts aiming for her arm, but directly hitting her chest. She was then impulsively transported to the earth realm, which is when I found her.

I was taken out of my thoughts when the lowering of the casket was beginning to happen, simply watching it being lowered was like the end of a chapter. Of course this isn't the end of a chapter, this is real life, not the end of some cliche w*****d story. Lucifer's cries of agony could be heard as they lowered the casket, the absolute pain of losing your one and only completely eradicating his entire being. He sobs, watching as they begun to place dirt on top of the casket, putting an end to a love that was eternal.

My heart hurts for him, when I woke up after Lucifer transferred his powers over to me, I woke up to him smiling down at me, my head was placed on his lap, as he brushed his fingers through my hair. He tries to put up a front as if it doesn't hurt him, but everyone around us including myself can see the pain that he is going through mentally, emotionally, and physically. He thinks I don't notice, but I see the alcohol bottles that he throws away, I see it.

Even though it has only been two months, I consider Lucifer a father. He took me in, not knowing who I was, or if i was the one to cause the death of Ethereal (which I wasn't, I swear), he gave me food, a roof over my head, clothes on my back; what more can I ask for? This man took more care of me, then an entire pack did in my 16 years.

Aki comes over to me and gives me a small pat on my shoulders, he is the Beta of the bunch and has taken care of me like a brother would. He understands the troubles of now having both Alpha and Luna powers inside of you, even though you are only an Omega. Aki was the first that I was introduced to, their he showed me where they live and what it is that they do, since you know they kinda don't have anything to important to do. He explained to me that their house is enchanted, so it is invisible to everyone except for them only, and now myself.

Aki bows his head, sending his regards towards his Luna and throws some dirt in as well. Howahkan and Dianne are the next ones to come up, they are the quiet ones of the bunch, they never speak unless it is necessary, which is quite frightening in itself.

I have grown used to their quietness and have grown to appreciate it, in a way. Dianne looks my way and slightly smiles at me, she closes her eyes and starts chanting words in her native tongue, she then picks up a little bit of dirt and spreads it around Ethereal's grave, she then gives each of us a slight nod and turns to leave.

Howahkan turns to look at me and sighs, shaking his head, he mumbles something under his breath, but because of our super hearing I was able to catch it and hearing what he said just makes me even more sad. "It should have been you." He kicks some dirt and then swiftly turns away.

I let out a small sigh, hearing him say that, just makes me believe that I don't belong here, that maybe both the Alpha and the Luna made a mistake when they transferred their powers over to me. I feel useless standing next to them, seeing them look so powerful, just puts me to shame. Here I am standing at 4'8 when they all reach over 6 ft, well except for Faith, she stands at 5'4. While they all have some form of muscle, I am merely bones and skin, I feel incompetent. Suddenly inheriting both the Alpha and the Luna's powers is not going to make me the strongest, I know that, and yet...

I'm snapped out of my thoughts by the calling of my name, I turn and am met with with bright blue eyes, Damon the Delta of the bunch. He gives me a bright smile and nods in the direction that everyone else is headed towards. I give him a small smile. "I'll be there in a little bit." I call out. He returns my smile and nods, turning and catching up with the others. I turn back and stare at the headstone, my eyes slowly watering at the words engraved into it.

Ethereal Royle

Loving Wife and Luna

1400 BC-4018

"Those we love don't go away. They walk beside us everyday...unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear."

I fall to my knees feeling the stinging of the ground and knowing that I will soon have a bunch of cuts, sobs racking through my body, I don't know why but it hurts so much, the pain of knowing that such a cherished human being is now gone hurts. The pain of knowing that this women was loved so much by all her people hurts, they loved her, they didn't abuse her, but in fact they loved her and held her dearly in their hearts.

My eyes widened and my sobs only got louder at the realization that I'm not crying because I am sad for her death, I'm crying because I'm jealous. I'm jealous that Ethereal was loved, I'm jealous because she was cherished, I'm jealous because she wasn't abused, I'm jealous because instead of destroying a pack, she brought them together.

The sound of thunder is heard above me, droplets of rain landing on the ground or on me, but I don't get up, I sit there and let the heavy rain pour down on me. Howahkan is right, it should have been me, I'm the one that is supposed to be in that grave, not Ethereal, for I wouldn't have been missed, hell I'm sure they would have been ecstatic to bury me, or maybe not bury me, maybe they would have left my dirty body there to rot. I began to hyperventilate, my sobs now changing into heaving breaths, it hurts! my wolf screams inside my head, the thoughts that were swarming my head now finally reaching her, she lets out a whimper, agreeing with everything that my thoughts say and even howling in despair, knowing that there is nothing she can do to stop it.

A pair of arms entrap me, shushing me, trying to calm me down. I heave, screaming out that I'm sorry, that it should have been me, anything that will justify the fact that I am not happy being here, that if I could, I would switch places with her a million times.

"Calm down, Eve, it's okay. Shh, it's okay. Don't apologize, for it's not your fault." Lucifer tries calming me down. And my sobs only get louder at realizing that he didn't leave me, he stayed right where he was and waited for me, he stayed in the freezing rain to, all just for me. I didn't deserve any of this treatment, I didn't deserve to have his warm hands wrapped around me like a father would, I just didn't deserve it. I wrap my arms around his neck, greedily taking in all his comfort and making it last, for who knows when I might be able to experience it again. He carefully picks me up, and that just makes my arms go tighter around him. How can someone that stands at 6'8 be so gentle? How can someone that represents Violence be so caring?

I bury my face in his warm neck, taking in his scent, the smell of rain mixing in his with his natural smell of sandalwood. My body calms naturally my sobs slowly being put at ease, that's how attached I am already to this man, one smell emitted from him and he can put me at ease. What truly scares me is that I am so attached to them? What scares me is that even if it's only been two months, these people have become so important to me. It scares me, the fact that these people are supposed to be evil, for they are hated among everyone, and yet, they are all so humble and kind and they truly care for each other. What did they do to deserve the wrath of all the gods?

Without realizing it we are slowly coming up to the car, the door already opened and the members of his pack all with their heads bowed, honoring the man who has sworn to protect all of us with his whole life. The amount of respect that this man receives truly baffles me, sure Dominic was respected as well, but whenever someone said something that didn't sit well with him, they would suddenly disappear only to be never seen again. Lucifer slowly entered the car with me still in his arms, I tried to get off of his arms a few times but he would merely tsk and hold me tighter.

When he sat down a thought passed through my head, "These seats are too expensive to be getting wet." My wolf lets out a bark of laughter at this and merely shakes her head. "Always thinking of such futile things." She replies back. I look around and now notice that it is only 8 of us, this has to be the most smallest pack that their is, and yet it is the most powerful.

The car slowly begins to move, Aki in the drivers seat and the rest of us in the back. Everyone else begins to converse among themselves, minus Lucifer and I, we are both far to lost in our thoughts to focus on anybodies conversations. My eyes slowly begin to droop at the calming noises of everyone else's voices, my wolf slowly lays down making her self more comfortable and slowly closes her eyes and lulls herself into a deep slumber. My mind, that for some reason cannot sit still, slowly recaps everything that has happened, from the death of my mother, to the beginnings of the abuse, then to my almost death, and then to my outburst that happened a few minuets ago. Recounting these things only makes me have one thought in my head......

Time is a real b***h.

***

Waking up I felt extremely drowsy, and disoriented, I don't even think I know where I am. My eyes slowly began to adjust to my surroundings and I realized that I was in the bedroom that was provided for me once I arrived here. Purple walls surround me calming me down a little, my stomach grumbles announcing that it is time to get up. I debate on whether I should stay in bed and just stare at my ceiling, or if I should quench my hunger before it makes me hangry. My hunger wins and I slowly rise from the bed, trying to stretch quietly but ending up making whale noises that are sure to interrupt the other members of this houses peaceful time. I was walking down the steps and entering the kitchen, seeing that there were already people in there.

"All I'm saying is that if BTS asked me to become a doormat, I would gladly let them step all over me, I mean have you seen them?" Faith exclaimed, lightly grabbing onto Damon's arm. There is a chorus of groans, all of them knowing where this conversation was going. Damon's eyes light up at the mention of the Korean group, BTS.

"Honestly if Namjoon could I would let him slap me with his big hands, like yes daddy come through." Damon states as he claps his hand through every word. They giggle like school girls as they continue to chant about their undying love for BTS. Not going to lie, I was shown a few of their music videos and their pictures and I can confirm that I will soon be joining these conversations. My body makes quick work of heading towards the fridge, ignoring anything and everything that does not involve me getting a full stomach.

Maybe I should make eggs, wait no never mind, I don't even know how to make eggs. I was never really taught how-

"Evelina"

Or maybe I should make oatmeal, it's one of the very few things that I have learned to make, although-

"Evelina."

Or maybe I should just go simple and make cereal, I mean it can't be that hard, I mean you put the cereal in and then the milk, or is it the other-

"EVELINA!" I hear Damon's voice and notice now that the orange juice that I was serving myself has spilled over, with a grunt I place the orange juice on the counter, silently cursing myself for spacing out while I am doing a simple task. I feel hands on my shoulders, I look up and meet Damon's sky blue eyes, he pushes me out of the way and sits me down on one of the chairs on the island, beginning to clean up the mess that I created. I slightly panic, thinking of the punishments that I would receive once he is finish, trust Evelina to always mess up something good. God it really is just like me to always go and screw things-

"Hey." I look up and meet Faith's bright yellow eyes, she has a bright smile on her face, the kind of smile that makes your eyes disappear from how big your smile is. I slightly smile back, my heart still pounding from the slight panic attack.

"Don't think about that stuff, okay? You're not being punished for something as light as a spill, okay?" Being able to predict the future must be an amazing thing for sure, Faith has slowly been predicting all of my actions ahead of time and has been slowly helping me when my panic attacks are about to start. I mumble a slight 'okay' and look away, not knowing how to keep the conversation going. I didn't really converse with anybody in the Blood Moon pack. They mainly spewed insults at me and demanded things of me, so having Faith try and bring me into a conversation with her is really such an abstract thing that I truly can't wrap my head around. The smell of food slowly reaches my nose and my stomach lets out a loud roar, announcing it's presence being a persistent little asshole. Damon lets out a slight chuckle and places plate of warm eggs in front of me, Damon gives me a warm smile and continues to clean the mess that I made, slightly joining in with the one sided conversation that Faith was having.

"So like I literally saw the video of where Jungkook hurt his heal and it made me so sad. Like what?! My poor baby. Bighit really expects him to just preform with a broken leg-well technically he wanted to preform, he didn't want to disappoint his fans-but still, are some ARMYS really that inconsiderate that they would let their idol run around with stitches in their heel?! Like, I'm truly disappointed at them. Gosh-oh my gosh are those eggs?"

My mind runs a mile a minute, my brain not completely processing everything that Faith said all in one breath. Even Damon is staring at her with a wide eyed look and nodding along, not really knowing what to say after she blabbed her whole heart out. Luckily we are saved from further "BTS talk" as both Lucifer and Aki walk in, both having straight faces and looking like they are not about to give us a very heart to heart felt conversation. Lucifer clears his throat as in a way to tell Faith to shut up and pay attention.

"Okay so I'm thinking there needs to be a change in scenery-"

"So then just go outside-" Faith spits out causing both Damon and I to choke on our eggs. Oh the mouth on this one, my wolf half heatedly states slightly chuckling at the end. I have to agree with her, Faith has one sarcastic mouth on her.

"Thank you, for that wonderful comment Faith, but that's not what I meant." Lucifer grit his teeth together, something that I've noticed he does when he needs to calm down. "What I meant was a change in locations."

"Why have we been spotted?" Damon asks with a hint of worry in his voice.

Lucifer shakes his head, his lips tightening. "I just figured that maybe we should move past such dark times, maybe a change in location will help with that?" Lucifer finishes, he looks so torn, as if he doesn't really want to do this, but he has to do it, for his people.

Aki smiles and continues from where his Alpha left of, knowing that this is a difficult time for him. "We've gone ahead and asked for Howahkan and Dianne's opinion on this and they have both agreed to this plan, now we want to know your opinions." Damon and Faith both nod their heads, indicating that they are fine with the move, the four pairs of eyes all turn towards me and stare me down. Of course it isn't really up to me to decide where they want to go, I am merely a guest that they have decided to take in and give a home to, so why would they ask for my opinion, it just isn't needed. And yet, here they are, all staring at me and actually waiting for me to put my input on the conversation. I'm not just some outsider to them, I truly do matter to them, and with that thought in my head I slowly make eye contact with Lucifer and nod, telling him that I am okay with the move. Cheers are heard from around me, both Dianne and Howahkan making their way inside of the kitchen and conversations from almost everyone is heard around.

"This calls for a celebration."

"Okay but let me tell you about Jin's feet-"

"Who touched my peanut butter?-"

"Hey, why is the floor sticky, that's a real dangerous thing someone should-"

I let out a loud groan as I watch the Demonic Wolves pile themselves into the kitchen and have their own separate conversations amongst themselves. Welcome to an average day with the Demonic Wolves.
