The Hunter's Werewolf

(5) Legends of Wolves

The next morning, we woke up to the smell of freshly made bacon, cinnamon rolls, chocolate chip waffles, and pancakes. My little siblings were always fighting over which to make for breakfast, so we all had to compromise by making both. I swear that they always get into fights where someone winds up in the hospital emergency room from the fights, and sometimes they do not even fight at all. I do love family mornings because we always come together to eat some food, learn about our family history and legends, and talk about what is going on in our lives. It is also one of the few times that we get a chance to spend time together due to the fact that we all have busy lives with work, sports, school, etc. My mom always makes breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, school lunches, snacks, and everything; she is a good chef, while my dad—we will just say he tends to have the firefighters always come to the house when he cooks. Sometimes my dad is not allowed to cook without supervision since the fire department yelled at him the last time he had a cookout and burned the steak and almost burned down the whole house. Now the only jobs in the kitchen are to do the dishes or set the table, depending on what mom wants done. Hazel loves to help mom and Aunt Leah bake some delicious treats such as cakes, pies, cookies, and anything else you can think of. She always volunteers to clean the bowels and kitchen utensils by l*****g them clean. She does have a sweet tooth when it comes to freshly baked treats or anything that is sweet related; sometimes when she sees a sweet treat, she ends up drooling like a dog who just saw a bone. Anyway, we all came downstairs for breakfast and sat down in the dining room to begin eating when my mother said. "Now kids, you know the rules; we have to wait until dad and Uncle Ian get here," she said while putting chocolate and regular milk on the table. "Awe, come on, I am starving, and you know I need to eat so I can get taller and stronger; maybe someday I will be one of the best football players, just like Colton and Troy." Plus, who knows, I may break their football records," Max said while trying not to spill any milk on the table while slowly pouring Hazel and him a glass of milk. "Well, I hope I will be just like Charlie and Kaylie when I get older with cheerleading. I cannot wait until it is my turn to be the captain of the high school cheerleading team; also, thank you for letting me be a part of the team right now. "I am learning new skills and how to be a good caption," Hazel said while stirring the chocolate Hershey sauce in her milk. "No problem, Haz, we love having you on the team, and you are an honorable member of the team captains' squad." "You know you can help us by picking some girls to join this year's team, Charlie, and I would love to have your feedback and many other things." Kaylie said while fixing the younger pups a plate of food, since she loved having this idea in her head about being a good role model for them. "Gosh, if they don't get here in about a couple of minutes, I say screw it and let us just eat." "I am hungry," Aunt Karen said while l*****g her lips at the sight of all the food that was on the table. "Alright, let's just eat; if those boys don't come, we can make them late," my mom said while grabbing some food to put on her plate. "Hey, what about us?" "We are hungry too, and it's not our fault that we are stuck doing pack business, and sorry Max, you are too young to be in the meetings yet," Colton said while stuffing his face with waffles. "Max, how about we ask dad and Uncle Ian if you can attend the next meeting?" "I am sure that they will not mind," I said while trying to cheer him up. "I sure hope so; I hate being left out of important things such as pack meetings and all that type of stuff," Max said while pouring some syrup onto his waffles. "Hey, what's all with the noise that's going on?" I can hear Hazel and Max fighting over the chocolate milk again. "Jesus, you both don't need to fight over who gets the last glass of milk; there is more in the fridge," my dad said while making himself a plate of food. "Max started it, not me, and besides, he is the one who took all the chocolate milk last time," Hazel said while trying to cut her pancakes in half but struggling. Half an hour passed quickly. It was time to clean up and start today's lesson with our family legends and history. My father and Uncle Ian always love to tell us stories about the history and legends of werewolves; sometimes it feels like we are in a class, like being homeschooled. It is important to learn about our history and legends so that we can pass them down through many more generations, just as they were passed down to us from earlier generations before us. When we finished cleaning up after breakfast, we all went into the library, which is huge and one of the biggest rooms in the mansion. There are so many types of books on different subjects and even novels by many authors from all over the world. The library is so huge that it is like a mini version of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., but of course, the library does not have any werewolf history or legends like ours. Our library is two stories high, with a few wooden ladders that slide around the library, two big, beautiful glass doors that lead out to the garden, a skylight that is shaped like a wolf's paw print that lets in lots of light, and a big desk-type table with some comfortable chairs. The library is very peaceful in the early mornings, such as when drinking a cup of coffee while waiting for the sunrise. Anyway, it was time to learn more about our people. We all sat in the library with our notebooks, books, and pencils ready to learn when suddenly, my dad came in with his fresh pot of coffee and a donut in his mouth. My uncle and I came in a few seconds later and said... "Alright, let's get to learning, and since now we have the younger kids here, let's just start over again, and besides, we need to refresh the boys’ minds because they always end up falling asleep," Uncle Ian said, wire walking to the writing board to start writing the start of the history of werewolves. "Alright, let's start." Werewolves are also known by another name called lycanthropes, which means a human with the ability to shapeshift into a wolf, and in old English means "werewolf," which is "man-wolf." The history of the werewolf has roots in many diverse cultures all around the world, which date to ancient times. Uncle Ian said while talking with a donut in his mouth. "Do you know what he just said because I have no clue what he said about that donut in his mouth?" Colt said while being confused as always. "To do my werewolf homework for the next month, since I am helping mom and aunt Karen with planning Hazel's party," I said, trying my best to get him to believe me. "Nice try, twin, but you still stink at lying; you better watch that tongue of yours." "You don't want to lose it with all the lies you told me in the past years," Colton said while copying my notes into his notebook. "Hey, don't forget to do my homework; being the beta has its perks, especially with the ladies," Troy said while wiggling his eyebrows and smiling from ear to ear. "HEY!! Shut the f**k up, or I will bite your damn tails, and I will bite hard. "I AM TRYING TO PAY ATTENTION TO UNCLE IAN, AND ALSO DON'T TEMPT ME; YOU ALL KNOW I WILL DO IT." Hazel screamed at the top of her lungs like she was in a horror movie. "Bro, she is even scarier than mom and Aunt Karen when we get into trouble when we miss our curfew." "Now I know where she gets the whole "don't mess with me attitude" look," Troy said while hiding underneath his desk, which is why he fears Hazel gets mad. "Don't be such a baby. "You know you are like, sixteen years older, and you are such a little scared of cats?" Colton said while playing with his pen and tapping the desk. "Alright everyone, it seems like we need to have more homework due to the fact you were not paying attention except for Max and Hazel. "You both can go to the kitchen and help with making lunch," Uncle Ian said while standing in front of our huge desk with his arms crossed. "Not my fault." "I love homework; how about giving me a paper so I can write what I learn and know about our wolf history and legends?" Colt said, sounding sarcastic while packing up his stuff to leave the library. "You know what, Colt?" That is not a bad idea. "Thanks for the idea, so now you all will all write a six-page paper about our history and legends, and it will be due at the end of the month," Uncle Ian said while grinning. "Colt, you are being an asshole; you know that right." Thanks a lot; now I have even more homework to do. You are damn lucky you are twenty feet away and not next to me because I will rip some hair off you while in wild form. "Well, now you can't defend yourself while turning." Kaylie said something angry while some loud growls came from her chest. "Calm down, Kaylie, or you will need a dog shock collar." "It would be funny, though; every time you get all moody like this, I can destroy you," Colton said while trying not to laugh. "Oh, you are so going to get it; pay attention, Colt." "You better sleep with one eye open; don't worry, I won't do anything embarrassing like put makeup on you while sleeping and take a picture of you all pretty." Kaylie said while packing up her book bag and standing next to Charlie. "Guys enough, excellent job on being a good role model for the younger pups. "Now all of you just shut up; you all are giving me a headache, and I have more homework to do on top of all the school projects to do," I said while rubbing my temples on each side of my head. "Alright, everyone, get out of here and go eat some lunch before I give you guys more homework." "Oops, I just realized that I was the one who has to read and grade your papers unless Adam is willing to do that for me," my uncle Ian said while walking out of the library. Simply great! I have more homework to do thanks to my twin brother, but sometimes he needs to learn to shut his mouth and know when to open it again. "If he ever does it again, I am going to make sure that he wakes up with a nice makeover," Kaylie said while typing on her phone. "Hey Kay, let's get the damn paper done, and you better go calm Hazel down with some cookies," I said while turning off my phone screen while looking at her. "Yeah, let the boys have their turn with the books since they need it more than us because they are always slow with their homework anyways," Kaylie said while getting off the table. After we left the boys alone in the library, we went to find Hazel to calm her down. Who knows what she will do? Hazel can sometimes have her hissy fits when it comes to homework, but at least she gets to draft a story, which I love. Today went by like a blink of an eye. I cannot believe tomorrow is Monday, which is a good thing because I get to see my crush Alecx again and we get to work on our art and history project together. He looks so hot, like marshmallows melting in the fire for s'mores, which look so damn good. Anyway, after Hazel calmed down, we all decided to come into my bedroom. I watched a movie of her choice with lots of popcorn and cookies, which always helps. Since Hazel fell asleep, Kaylie and I started to get ready for bed and get ready for school tomorrow. After we were done, we decided to head to bed since my bed is a king-size bed. It can fit all three of us.
