The days went by and I noticed some changes in my body. My skin is smoother, my hearing sharper, and I didn't even tell dad about the broken glasses because my vision keeps getting better every day. My hair is long and thick. Too bad I can't let it loose, otherwise, they'll make fun of me until I go to college.
It's like I'm adopted or my mom cheated, because I was born a redhead in a pack of gray wolves?
Today I dressed up more, it's getting colder, so I wore jeans with a t-shirt and a denim jacket on top, put on my boots, and went out with my backpack. Luckily, it's close by. I went straight to the classroom, without any incidents on the way, but when I entered, a shower of paper balls fell on me and the choir shouted:
"Ripe jackfruit, ripe jackfruit, ripe jackfruit!" because they had made me stumble and fall, again, the day before.
I stopped and looked at them, arms crossed, posing as if I were annoyed. I went to my usual spot and forgot about them when the teacher came in. It's better to pay attention in class, I don't want to spend a single extra minute in this school.
During lunch break, I was in the cafeteria when Denise came with another girl to talk to me. She wanted to ask me about Luis. Seriously, guys, I deserve this. She invited me to buy some candy at a stand outside of school. We crossed the street, passed through an empty lot, and arrived at the booth. On the way, I told her about Luis' interest in her and she almost jumped for joy. It seems like they will get along, maybe even be companions.
When we got back, two guys were sitting in the way and they started messing with us.
"Hey little wolf, you're beautiful, I'm your crush." one of them said, and I thought he was talking about Denise.
We looked at each other, laughing, not knowing who he was talking to.
"It's the one with boots." he clarified, and I blushed instantly.
I didn't understand anything, how am I beautiful?
"It's because of me, silly."
"Who are you there, talking in my head?"
"I'm your she-wolf, silly. We'll get to know each other tomorrow."
"But can you already talk to me?"
"Aren't I already talking, honey? Get a grip. Bye now."
As if I needed this, another crazy person on my back, or rather, in my head. We arrived at school and Luis was standing, leaning against the pillar in the courtyard. I grabbed Denise's hand and walked towards him. When he saw us coming, he looked at her first, devouring her with his eyes, then extended his hand, looking at me, and said:
"It would be better for you to stay away, I don't want to see you take another punch." he's such an idiot.
"Are you an idiot too, dude? I came to introduce you to Denise. Luis, Denise. Denise, Luis. Done, now figure it out" I quickly introduced them.
I turned around and walked away from those two. I was trying to help and he was making fun of me too. Even though the intention was good, it backfired. Ugh!
I urgently need some mental hygiene or I'm going to lose it.
I'm going to the classroom and I see the three Mikaelson wannabes: Monica, Adriana, and Gisele, and as I pass by, they speak to me:
"Hi, Mag!" Adriana calls, making me stop.
"Have you had your transformation yet?" Monica asked.
"Tomorrow is the alpha's inauguration and he will receive the power and recognize his mate. But you need to smell like a wolf, right?" Gisele asked, pretending to be clueless.
"Can't you speak by yourselves, or does everything have to be completed by the other? Sorry, girls, but the class is about to start." I didn't even respond to their provocation.
I quickly walked away, avoiding them, almost entering the classroom with the teacher, at least I didn't make it late.
Jonathan
My father keeps nagging me about tomorrow's ceremony, not because of my leadership ability, but because of the choice of my mate. He's afraid that I will reject her and end up ruining the pack. I've already explained to him that I won't do that, but he doesn't believe me. It must be because of Debora, who is always with me.
The thing is, I've been dating her for two years and I'm almost positive that she's the one for me, because I can't stand being away from her for too long and I already miss her so much. We've had sex like rabbits and I only held back from biting her out of respect for traditions. She's still young, hasn't transformed yet, but I want her to be the one.
Now I'm taking care of the preparations for the ceremony and the betas that I'll choose to help me with the Pack's duties. I can't just put anyone in these positions, nor let myself be swayed by friendships. It'll be quite a surprise when I announce my choices and a certain friend will be very hurt, but he doesn't have the calling and will have to accept it.
I go out for a run in the forest and go to the river where I found beta Leonel and his daughter. I turn back into a human and dive into the river to cool off, then I come out and sit on a stone by the bank. I'm wearing swim trunks, I always bring a pair with me.
On that day we found them, I noticed a very subtle scent of red roses, I also smelled blood and it confused me. Was it Mag? After the punch and fall she endured that day before the encounter, there could still be traces of blood.
"No!" I said out loud.
She was probably already healed and since she hasn't transformed yet, she couldn't emit any scent. But that puzzled me. Even if I didn't consider the possibility of having another mate, I evaluated her and saw that she didn't have any attractive qualities. Her body is even ugly. But that scent, it pleased me greatly, I love the smell of human blood, especially in young women.
"Definitely not the case! It can't be her..."
"Talking to yourself, Jon?" Someone interrupted my thoughts, I turned around and it was her. I'm naked, but I'm not worried, we're used to nudity.
"None of your business, feisty. By the way, I'm already leaving." I turned back into a wolf and ran back home. Just as I thought about the ghost, she appeared!
I left her there, but I noticed, with my keen wolf sense of smell, the same scent as before, subtle, but the same.
