The Werewolf and the Human

A Distraction?

The Pack House was more talkative than it had been in a while. It seemed by now everyone had heard about this human. Usually, an attack on our lands meant people filled with anger. Still, that anger was subdued by the natural curiosity of who this person was, who this human was that defended us. The story of what had happened seemed to have been distorted and changed. Everyone had a different idea of what actually happened. Some stuck close to the story that I had gotten. She had just stumbled into it and was able to protect one of us simply by an act of kindness. Some said that she wasn’t a human at all. They say that she was one of the packless who had been traveling alone, she hadn’t shifted in a while, and because of that, she couldn’t shift to protect the girl. Even more who said that she was just trying to make nice with us to get inside information. She was being used by a rival pack to gain the trust of our pack. This was the most ridiculous theory that I had heard.

              “So, do you know what’s true?” Oliva asked, coming up behind me.

              “What’s true about what?” I asked, turning around to look at her.

              “The human,” she said, her words dripping with disdain. There was a fit of anger in me that wanted to take the disdain out of her mouth.

              “She was just being nice,” I said, walking away from her. She grabbed my arm and pulled me back to her. “What?” I growled.

              “Today must have been long for you,” she said, running her hand over my body. “Let me help you relax.” I pushed her away from me. My wolf was in no mood for the relaxation she offered, and I was not drunk enough to fight my wolf. She pulled me closer. “Come on. You seem stressed, and I was able to relax you yesterday.” The liquor was actually what relaxed me last night. She was just able to take advantage of the fact. I was also using her to prove a point to the doctor. A point I kept feeling, my wolf kept knowing that the doctor was right, or at least it claimed that the doctor was right. I still refused to believe it, but I didn’t feel like fighting with my wolf at that moment. It was just easier to walk away from her. I tried to do that, but she grabbed me and pulled me back into her. “Come on. I know that you want me. Let’s go back to your room.”

              “I’m busy,” I growled at her.

              “Your office then?” she said, snaking her hand around my body.

              “No,” I said, grabbing her hand.

              She didn’t look me in the eyes. It was part of the game that we were playing. It was part of the game that she believed that I liked to play. This hunter prey game and she was going to play the perfect prey. “I’m sorry,” she said, blinking a few times. Each blink was faster than the last. She assuredly wanted me to fall for it.

              I was not in the mood to fall for it. My wolf was making that clear. I wanted something more than the game she thought I wanted to play. Not that I did not fantasy about playing the game, it was just no longer her that I saw. “I do not want this right now,” I said

              “Yes, my alpha,” she said, grabbing my shirt a little bit.

              I pulled her hand off of me. I started walking away from her. She grabbed my shirt one more time. “If you need any sort of distraction, just let me know,” she said, walking away and swinging her hips as she did that. She was swinging them in a way that was trying to prove a point that I had no interest or care in listening to.

              I watched her walk away for only a moment before I turned and headed to my office. I had only been gone for a day, but with me being so new, none of the other clans trusted me, so I had to make sure that I proved that I deserved to be Alpha and that I could do that without a Luna.
