Our Stars that dance

Three years ago. I walked down the familiar path which I would say is the only path to the place that I visit literally every day. I like to sit down there and do whatever I want. My solace. Moreover, it somewhat motivates me to do something. Here I was walking down the staircase as my English class was on the fourth floor while the east wing library was on the second floor. I pulled out my earphones from the bag pack and played my regular playlist as I went to put in both ears. The headphones and ear pods weren’t meant to be my thing as I find headphone heavy while I carrying around or I end up losing one of my ear pods which was recent. It was last month. So, I end up with the earphones which I would say strangely that I don’t end up losing them. Humming to the familiar rhythm, I walked down the stairs. There weren’t any students in the corridors as it was class time and thankfully, mine had finished fast. The teacher taught the lecture fast, which I would say was hard to keep up with the pace and then, as soon as she was done, she grabbed her bag and rushed out of the door without even saying anything. At first, everyone was puzzled and confused as the students looked at each other then, to the board on which she had written the textbook page and a short note that was our homework. For a few minutes of silence, everyone just started to talk among themselves and when one of the students got up to leave the classroom, everyone followed his move. As soon as I reached the second floor, the sun was high, and the corridors were brightly lit. I loved the moment I was in currently, as I felt I was the only one in this castle, which is true as my school looked like an ancient castle. Moon Academy, one of the renowned werewolves' schools in the werewolf's world, only allowed certain students which were obviously werewolves or who knew about their existence. I don’t know how they managed to hide from the humans for decades of years. Moon Academy is a prestigious school which high ranking werewolves' children or the rich and powerful can study here. It was in northern Europe, the property of the Alpha King. so, the weather here would possibly be cold every time, but sun sometimes grace her warmth as much as she could. The corridor got huge glass windows as the light penetrated through it and brought in warmth in this cold castle which I greedily basked under it. And this Moon Academy was once the castle of the royal and donated them like seven decades ago to create a school especially for the werewolves. This very castle stood on top of the hill, and you couldn’t catch a sight of what's down the hill. There are four wings whereby east and west wings are for the academics containing all the classrooms, sports field and rooms, library and the staff's room, etc. While the south wing contain was female dormitory and north wing was for the male. They also provided rooms for the mates to live together. As werewolves have a distaste with the distance between their mates moreover, this academy especially holds most of the males which came from top three; Alpha, Beta and gamma. And they tend to get territorial and jealous of their mates. So, it is better to ensure a peaceful and friendly environment. I finally reach the large oak door. It had a golden plate hung above it with a library written in all capital and bold letters. I turned the knob and had to use some of your strength to open this huge, big door. Slowly breathing out, I walked to the reception where a female student was currently sitting and reading. Knocking gently on the table to get her attention from the book. She looked up from her book and her face broke out into a smile upon seeing me. “Did you come to return the book again?” She knew me as I seemed to be regular and the one who spent every day in this heavenly place filled with the smell of books and silence. Every week I would take a book and after reading them which certainly takes a lot of time due to the classes and assignments to return it back. You don’t want the librarian to catch you in the corridors or come to your class to remind that I haven’t returned the book. That’s embarrassing I would say. She takes the book and types on the computer then later asks me to either borrow another, which I would do obviously, or take a seat in these vast empty spots. I took the previous book I borrowed and went to the section to put it back. This became my part of habit and something I do to make their work easier by returning to the place which I know. The workers here sometimes place the books on the wrong shelves. The sun had filtered through the window and some parts of the room was covered in. The east wing library is one of my favourites as it looked it is straight from medieval fantasy with the thick books on the walls and a small staircase leading to the second floor where there are shelves upon shelves with books of every genre. And the most beautiful part of this room is the ceiling. There you would see the brightly round moon, an integral part of the werewolves apart from the moon goddess who stood in front of the moon in her white dress and long luscious black hair. I would feel some connection with her as I am half of her creation. Pulling my gaze from the painting, I walked up to the second floor and to the section of shelves which contained books on photography and films. Getting on my toes, I pushed the books aside and inserted the book in its place. Slowly, putting my feet on the floor and walking ahead with my gaze trailing the binds where titles are written and reading them. I stopped and pulled out the book since it was just right ahead of my shoulder. After flipping the pages and it didn’t spark my interest as I was about to put the book where it was, I saw a couple. The girl had a blonde hair and her arms wrapped around her boy’s neck while he had his arms tightly around her waist. He leaned into her ears and whispered something which brought out her giggle. Despite Lana del Rey's song being currently playing at a low volume, I could hear her. Suddenly, he pushed her against the shelf with her back against me and I could make out his face. He leaned in and was about to kiss her when his eyes snapped into mine. Then I felt my wolf’s presence more than ever have I encountered before. Like she is trying to say something and immense emotions pouring out clashing with mine. Throughout this time, my body was frozen and my mind was in shock with a revelation of the voice which I heard for the first time and the sight in front of me. I had witnessed this similar thing in this library multiple times, but I always would lower my eyes and quickly get out of the place to give them their privacy. But this time, I couldn’t even move my feet to walk away due to the shock as if someone was holding my feet from the ground. Again, the small voice came. This time, I am surer than earlier that this is my reality. Mate He pulled his gaze away first and smiled warmly at the girl in front of him. He didn’t have any reaction like I did upon hearing my equally nonexistence wolf’s word. And I think he also knew who I was to him. Snapping away, I quickly put the book in its place and ran away from the place. Shit.Shit.Shit
