His Little Wolf

NOVALIE'S POV

--

These past three weeks have been an absolute blast . Brent and I have been on a few dates , Sofie has been a little MIA since I began dating Brent and well I have learned not to focus on hearing everything .

I sit in math class , drawing the letter B on the corner of my page while I'm suppose to be doing the assignment , but I can't stop thinking about the date Brent has planned tonight , he said it was a surprise and that I should dress casually but cute .

I have no idea what that really means but I will Google it at home to get the idea of it .

" That's not the assignment ." Cassie giggles as she glances over at my book and I roll my eyes before glancing at her .

" He's planning a date ." I beam and she gives me a knowing look .

" A surprise date ?" She asks and I nod , letting the widest smile spread across my face .

Cassie's face lights up , her lips parted and her shoulders jiggle as she does a little happy dance for me .

" Do you know what that means ?" She asks , her head leaning closer to me , her brown orbs sparkling with happiness .

" What ?" I ask confused , " He's officially going to ask you out !" she shrieks in a low voice and my confused expression turns into a wide smile .

" Ladies ." the teacher scolds us and I sit upright , chewing on my lip before beginning with the assignment .

Last period has me feeling way beyond annoyed , it's like the sound of Cassie's constant breathing in my ear makes me want to snap at her and it takes everything in me not to tell this teacher that her voice is the most annoying thing ever and history is boring .

Biting my bottom lip to stop myself from talking , I hiss as my teeth dig into the skin , tearing it and my mouth fills with blood .

" s**t ." I mutter as I push the chair back , holding my hand to my mouth , the rusty smell was strong and it makes me nauseous .

I raise my hand , muttering a " I'm going to the bathroom ." as I dart out of the classroom , hearing the teacher call after me but in a blink of an eye , I'm down the long hallway and into the bathroom , spitting blood out into the sink .

" Gross ." I mutter , feeling overwhelmed by disgust and as I glance up at my reflection , I'm startled to see the hole in my lip , blood pooling out of it .

" This , this is going to need stitches ." I pull on the side of my lip and I watch as the skin slowly pulls together , healing itself in front of my eye and after a whole minute , the hole is closed , the blood stopped flowing and it's as if it never happened .

" What the f**k ?" I mutter , cursing under my breath .

I can not understand what the hell is happening .

' Well if you listened to me , you'd know that you are a wolf .' Sofie snaps at me and I somehow find relief in the sound of her voice .

I missed it .

' And where have you been ?' I ask her , staring at myself in the mirror .

' Giving you privacy for your human boy because if I'm near , I would rip his hands off if he laid a hand on this body .' the cockiness in her tone has me rolling my eyes and I whip around , resting my back against the sink .

' I would like to see you try that because I will never let that happen .' I threaten her , knowing fully well that this is my body and my body alone .

My hands slaps my face , hard and fast and Sofie begins to laugh .

' You're as weak as a twig , you can't stop me , but I do have enough respect for you to let you process what you just learned .' Sofie seethes and with my tongue pressed to the top of my mouth , I gulp nervously , my jaw tensing as I look at the floor .

Maybe I'm just losing my mind ..

' Your mind is in tact , don't worry about that . But what you need to be worried about , is tonight .' Sofie giggles .

What the hell does that mean ?

' Sofie ? What does that mean ?' I directly ask her , but she's quiet and I can't help but wonder if she went away again .

I sigh before making my way back to class and the teacher stands in front of her desk with crossed arms , glaring at me .

" You are not allowed to just leave the class ." she seethes and I sigh , my shoulders lowering .

" Would you rather have me puked all over your floor ?" I ask , knowing that I have no evidence to show her that I was bleeding .

" No ." her lip twitches up in disgust and I force a smile on my forehead , " Then I guess it's fine ." I murmur , walking to my seat and Cassie looks at me , " Are you ill ?" she asks concerned and I shake my head , "Just a little heartburn , nothing some water and pills can't fix ." I shrug it off .

As Cassie drops me off at home , my head starts to pound , I could feel the warmth of the sun burning my skin as I walk into the house , my eyes feeling a bit hazy as I open the door . A sigh of relief escapes my lips as I drop my bag to the floor , resting my back against the wall as I stand in the cool house .

Knowing that my parents are at work , I begin to strip out of my clothes , feeling like my body was on fire as I made my way up the stairs and I immediately get into the shower , a deep sigh escaping my lips as my body cools down .

I think I stood in the shower for about ten minutes before getting out , but as five minutes pass , I feel my body heat up again .

What is happening ? Why am I burning ?

Tears swell in my eyes as I run to the bath , opening the faucet and I get in , letting the cold water pool around me .

A soft giggle at the back of my head has my eyes rolling .

" Tell me what you know Sofie !" I yell , my voice echoing off the walls .

' It's a full moon tonight and since you have neglected to find out how to control yourself , guess what ? Wolf time and my time to shine .' she giggles and I wish I could grab her hair and slam her face against the wall .

' No need to be so aggressive , I'll take care of us when the sun sets .' she sounds so happy that it makes me want to claw her out of my mind .

" I have a date tonight !" I yell , not wanting to miss Brent asking me out .

' And he will be the first person I eat if you continue to yell at me .' she threatens .

I hate her , I hate her so much and I wish she wasn't inside of my head .

' I'm not too thrilled to be here with you either , but we don't choose who we get .' Sofie seethes and nothing that she says made sense to me .

" I want to go on that date ." I groan , sinking into the bath , my hair and ears under the water , my face still above the surface .

' Too late .' Sofie murmurs .

" Is it really or are you being spiteful ?" I ask , staring at the ceiling and she hums , ' Doesn't matter because tonight , we are finding our mate .' she snaps and I roll my eyes at the thought of her chasing some guy that she doesn't even know .

' I will chase him till the ends of the earth because he's ours , you should start to understand that before you ruin our life .' Sofie seethes at me and I could literally feel her anger .

I managed to get out of the tub and laid under the fan in a pair of shorts and bikini top for a while .

I anxiously watched the sun set , Sofie's word playing over and over in my head .

I will do anything to get to my date tonight , I want this . Brent is the first guy I actually like and I don't want to mess it up .

As I sit up to grab my phone , I begin to feel what I felt the first night this happened . The pain started in my back and I dropped to the floor , a scream escaping my lips .

' Get out of this house .' Sofie's words ring through my ears .

I literally can't move and she wants me to get out of the house ?

' Yes , get your a*s up and move .' she growls and I manage to roll over , getting to my knees and with all the strength I have , I push myself onto my feet , stumbling out the door .

This shouldn't be happening .

Why can't it just be a nightmare ?

The snapping of my ankle has a loud scream coming out of my mouth as I make my way down the stairs , my wrist following as I grip onto the railing of the steps .

I have to keep going .

My parents can't see me like this .

Walking out of the house , the orange hues in the sky makes me feel dizzy , but I focus on the woods .

' You aren't going to make it .' Sofie's worried tone has me on edge .

I have to make it , what is someone sees ?

' Run towards the woods .' she exclaims and even if the pain I am feeling makes me want to die , it at least didn't hurt as much as last time .
