RUN!, RUN!!, RUN!!!, because whenever you stop I will CATCH YOU."

*gasps* I woke up abruptly after the dream. "Why do I keep having this dream ever since I turned 10, it is starting to get on my nerves."

I lazily picked up my phone to check the time and sighed while checking my admission status into wester college.

Scrolling through my phone, I passed a message but then decided to go back after seeing my name which was kind of suspicious.

Looking at the message, my eyes slowly grew wide as I read the message. it said

DEAR MISS LENA YOUNG

WE HUMBLY WRITE TO INFORM ABOUT YOUR ADMISSION INTO WESTER COLLEGE.

ACCORDING TO YOUR PERFORMANCE ON THE EXAM, WE WRITE TO TELL YOU, CONGRATULATIONS, YOU GOT THE ADMISSION, NOW THE CHOICE IS UP TO YOU IF YOU ACCEPT THE INVITE OR NOT.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE

ACCEPT REJECT

"What..... What!!!, how, when, damn I am so happy, excited and confused." "Muuuuuuum, mum, I got in, I got in".

I said as I ran down the stairs at lightning speed.

""Woah, calm down honey, what did you say." Taking deep breaths I said "I got in, I got in, into wester college".

She looked at me obviously shocked, then with a year drop falling out of her eyes she said "Huh?, what did you just say Lena?"

"Mum congrats to us, I got into freaking wester college."

She gasped and said "W....w...wester college?". "Yup, although I applied for a scholarship to support you, I can't believe I got chosen."

"Lena darling, I'm so proud of you". She said while cupping my cheeks. And that's when it crashed upon me.

(I got accepted, After my third try into different colleges, I finally got accepted. Ever since the death of my dad, things have been really hard for I and my mom, hate to day but especially her. It made me feel worthless, since I couldn't pass the test but she just encouraged me and now I got into wester college.)

She smiled with tears running out of eyes and seeing her made me emotional.

In that moment, I thought to myself (Mum, I'm gonna make you proud.)

After a solid round of crying and consoling, we gathered ourselves and went to the living room.

To put it this way, we were quite rich before the death of my father, but after his death, the people who always favoured us, scorned and laughed at us.

FLASHBACK

"Dada, Dada, Lena wanna big playhouse that's as bigs as this." Little Lena said with using her hands to demonstrate.

A handsome man with white hair in his thirties came to Lena, who was 5 years, and patted her hair saying,

"Yes my princess, dada's gonna get you the biggest playhouse ever." " Yaaaaay, dada's the best." Lena saying while flaying her little hands.

The man stood up, turned to his wife and said "Lizzy honey, I will be back soon immediately after the meeting with Lena's birthday gift, pls take care."

"Of course honey, live it to me." He smiled then pecked his wife's cheek.

Seeing the action, little Lena said with a cute pouty face "Dada Dada give Lena a birthday kiss too."

He smiled, picked Lena and pecked her. Lena smiled and pecked him too.

"Well I'll be off, bye my two angels". "Yeah bye Dada, see you soon." Little did she know that was the last time she was gonna see her papa.

BREAKING NEWS

Business tycoon, Noah Young was found in a car accident after trying to protect something that looks like a playhouse. It was a tragedy and the victim was confirmed DEAD.

...****************...

*BANG!!!*. The sound of plates crashing on the floor reverberated all around the house as Elizabeth rushed towards the screenafter hearing the news.

Little Lena looked somewhat shocked over the sound and simply stared at her mom, afraid of asking.

Elizabeth stared at the screen, fear written on her face.

"H...huh?, what are they talking a....about, I..it can't be true right?. No it's just not possible."

With shaky hands, she dialed Noah's number while mummuring repeatedly "It's not possible,

It's not possible, it's not possible, it's not possible."

After the third ring, the call was received, Elizabeth had barely had the chance to sigh in relief when she heard a stranger's voice.

"Hello, who is it?". "Who is talking pls give Noah the phone, it's important." The stranger paused a bit and stared at the number, then said "Are you his wife, if you are then I have some bad news for you". "huh?".

"YOUR HUSBAND NOAH YOUNG, IS DEAD".

"What?". "For more information, come to cedes hospital." "Okay I'll be there." Lena came to her and tugged her hand saying "Mama where are you going and where is papa. Can I come?."

She forced a smiled and hugged without saying anything. She then went upstairs to get her coat to head out.

Little Lena knowing how her parents are, knew based on the behavior that her mum wasn't gonna take her, she snuck to the back seat of the car to follow her mom.

Arriving at the hospital Elizabeth, too busy with Noah, failed to notice that her little girl had snuck aboad.

She went into the room and almost fainted when she saw Noah's body covered from hair to toe.

She was crying when she saw small pairs of feet's in front of her looking at the dead man figure. Shocked she looked up abruptly to see Lena small figure trying to wake her dad.

"Dada, Dada, wake up pls Lena is here so don't worry and wake up." she said while shaking his figure. After a while she just stood there crying without a thought in the world.

...****************...

BURIAL OF MR NOAH YOUNG

The words written were so short, but full of emotion. While thinking that it couldn't get any worse, the people suddenly turned and faced Lena and said,

"I heard it's because of that little girl's playhouse."

"Really?, that means the girl is the reason her father died, what cruel fate". "Murderer"

From all over the insults never died.

...****************...

END OF FLASHBACK

I sighed while reminiscing about that day, if it weren't for my mum, that I would have drowned myself in the abyss of self doubt.

That's why I promise to protect my mum like how she protected me and I will start by focusing on academics in wester college.

Two weeks went by like a flash, the preparation for school was the only available event going on.

I was excited just thinking about it that i sometimes I couldn't sleep by I think that is because of my nightmares.

Ever since I received admission into wester college, the images in the dream have become more vivid and clear.

At first I was confused, but I decided to find out what does beast like creatures are. After a whole week of research, I found out that they are from the wolves race.

The only thing that puzzled me was the fact that the wolves were the one talking to me in the dream.

Well with that aside, I have to meet up with Ryan, my one only bestie. Not to brag but I'm incredibly beautiful, with white from my dad and red eyes from my mum.

You may be wondering, if I am so beautiful, why don't I have any friends, the reason is because my looks make people believe that I have a cold personality.

And when my dad died I actually became cold, but because of Ryan I returned to my cheerful behavior at the cost of my Friends.

Trust me when I say I love having Ryan as a friend, he is caring, forgiving, and over protective of me that sometimes it annoys me.

Reaching the cafe, I saw Ryan resting on the wall and I grinned. I arrived at the, Ran up to him and jumped on him for a hug while shouting "Ryyyyyyyy".

He was a bit startled but quickly regained his composure. He smiled and patted my head while saying "Hiya Lena, you look excited, care to share?"

"Not here, let's head in". I said while pulling him inside the cafe.

We got in and settled on an empty table. The waiter came up to the table to ask for our food menu but became awestruck when he saw me.

Feeling a bit awkward, I smiled at him slightly and stared at Ryan. He looked furious and said to the waiter "Do you like your job?".

Feeling the frost in his tone, bowed his head for forgiveness and said "S…sorry sir, what would you like to eat?". Ryan still looked angry, and I held his hand and said "Don't worry Ry, it wasn't on purpose. I will have two servings of hamburgers, 1 serving of French fry and a bottle of Malbec wine. That will be all"

The waiter nodded and left with the order.

Now we were alone and I was feeling over excited to tell him so I said " I have some news, I finally got into wester college."

I looked at him eager to receive the praise he always showers me any time I do something well but maybe it's my imagination, the eyes that always looked calm and soft suddenly hardened.

But by the time I could confirm, it was already back to normal. He forced a smile and said " What??".

"I got into wester college through the scholarship exam." "Lena I thought I told you not to apply for that particular college." "Yeah but I did and I passed so you have nothing to be worried about."

"Lena why did you?, don't you know that school is filled with...". "Huh?, filled with what?".

"Filled with um....um struggles, yeah it is filled with struggles." I looked at him and grinned then said "I knew you would say that, which was why I decided to take the scholarship exam AKA the hardest means of getting into the school."

"Um Ry are you mad with me?". I looked down feeling a bit sad at the thought of it. He sighed then raised my head with his hands and said,

"Lena, you know I can't get mad at you that easily, it's just that I am worried about you." "You don't need to, aren't you an upperclassman, you can protect me and if I ever need advice I can come to you."

"Fine whatever you want, just be careful." I smiled at him and nodded.

The food came and we ate or should I say I ate, Ry was the type of person to only drink wine without eating while staring at me eating.

I sometimes get worried about him but anytime I ask he says he had already eaten so I just leave him alone.

While eating, we talked about random things and because of I really didn't understand the route to the school, I asked him to take me there, he agreed after a level of persuasion.

We parted ways after the meal and I went straight home to check the remaining pending preparations.

TWO DAYS LATER

WESTER COLLEGE

"Damnit, where is Kai?". "What?, don't tell me he snuck away again to the human realm, we have to get him back before his dad finds out".

"Guys, I heard Kai's dad has gone to the human realm to find Kai" "Damn, well that's his luck. I silently pray for his safe return."

...****************...

KAI'S POV (Point of view)

(It feels so good to get some fresh air, these days Ethan, my wolf, has been restless but I guess he is better now that we are in the human realm)

(Ugh these weak creatures should stop staring, I know I am a handsome hunk but their stares are irritating.)

Knowing that I will soon be caught, I decided to head back when a scent hit my nose. The scent drew me in, I was marvelled then my wolf, Ethan, suddenly started prancing about then said "MATE!!!".

Ethan was uneasy, and the scent was driving me insane, I followed the scent restlessly trying to find out where it was from.

Gone was the thought of leaving, I madly chased the scent like a thirsty animal would chase water, Ethan kept on saying mate, mate while threatening to show his form.

We followed the scent but when we reached a particular passage, the scent vanished. As astounded as I was, I tried so hard to track the scent but failed, while Ethan just silently wailed.

After a while I realized that I found my mate in the human realm, which meant that my mate was a disgusting human.

I frowned and said to Ethan through our mind pact "How dare you?" Ethan who was already furious due to the missing scent of our mate growled tenaciously at me.

He said "What do you mean how dare I, she is our freaking mate, why do I have to care if she is a human or not, my only desire is to mark her, mate with her and love her, you piece of scum."

He angrily shut me out with a mind barrier and what it did was just annoy me further.

Like as if it wasn't enough, when I turned to head back to school, I saw my dad looking at me furiously.

He walked peacefully towards me and I knew that was just the Calm before the storm. He grabbed my collar and pulled me to an empty alley then said with a scary smile,

"Kai, what the hell are you doing in the human realm when there is school ongoing?". "D…dad I was just...", I said but was ruthlessly interrupted.

"You were just what?" "I was looking for my mate". He walked closer to me and said "What makes you think I will believe that lie you always say all the time, hmm?"

"It's the truth this time I swear". Be sighed obviously frustrated and said "Whatever just make sure this is the last time you come here without permission, you get that?".

I nodded and then we both left. Throughout our journey to school, Ethan ignored me and remained silent.

...****************...

AN HOUR AGO,

"Muuum, I'm going out for some toiletries for college." I yelled while putting on my shoes. "Okay sweetie be careful out there."

(The time for college is quickly approaching but I have almost no prepared items). I walked towards the shop selling college stuff.

After spending half an hour at the shop, I decided to buy a few snacks to chomp on when I am bored when suddenly, I had sharp pain in my head.

The pain became almost unbearable, thinking that it couldn't get worse, I heard a faint voice in my head.

Thinking it was my imagination, I decided to take a break from shopping and head home but the voice came again.

This time it was clearer and I could make out an m and t sound. I sighed thinking that I am certainly imagining it.

As I pulled further from the shop towards my home, the pain became worse. By the time I reached home the pain vanished and so did the voice which made me believe that I was just imagining it.

After thinking for a while I decided to tell my mum about the incident that occurred a while back. I ran up to her room and after I was given permission to enter, I went up to her and said,

"Mum, can you believe the crazy shit that just happened while I was out shopping?". With a confused face and raised eyebrows she asked,

"What Happened dear?" "Mum, when I was busy shopping for stuff, I suddenly felt a mind breaking pain. It felt like my mind was going to get crushed and almost made me faint."

She stood up abruptly and said with worry written all over her face, "What?, how did that happen?, are you okay baby?," "Don't worry mum, I am feeling much better now."

I helped her sit down and continued, "As I was saying, although I am not sure, when the pain came, maybe it was because of the tremendous amount of pain, I thought I heard a voice in my head".

After those words left my mouth her face turned pale and she asked, "What do you mean by voice in your head?"

"I don't think it is real because the voice was weak, it was trying to say something but the only words I could get was an m and t sound, it was like m..te".

"Huh?, do you mean mate?". She said as her eyes grew wider with each words that came out from my mouth.

"Yes I think so but it can still be a figment of my imagination so don't worry much about it." She gave me a forced smile and said, "Y..yes m...maybe you a..are just imagining it"

"Well mum, with that out of the way, I am going upstairs for a quick shower and to read the rules of wester college, see ya later".

She nodded with her head hung low. I was a bit worried but decided to just go with the flow and headed out to my room.

...****************...

ELIZABETH POV

(Dammit what did she mean by voice in the head and how come the voice said mate.) Taking a deep breath I thought (Maybe it was really a figment of her imagination.)

(She can't be one of them right, I know I am, but she definitely can't, maybe I am just over thinking this it's Lena I am talking about, it is not the first time she had weird illusions like these).

(And if she is really one of them why didn't it show on her 16th birthday like usual but show when she is 18).

(Thinking about all this I think I am right she can't be one of them like me. Her father's Gene has to rub of on her so that she can stay safe).

(I think it will be better if she goes away from here for a while and recuperate).
