"So you're a werewolf ?" I said to myself more than anything, trying to make sense of the past thirty minutes.
"You're a werewolf."
"I'm a werewolf."
After recovering from the earlier shock of seeing Lucas turn from an oversized dog back to a human again. He suggested we go back to my place and try to understand the whole situation.
I knew my mum would be working a nightshift at her hospital and my dad wouldn't be back till like 10 o'clock and it was only 3:30 so I agreed.
We ran back to my place and he easily outran me(in his wolf form of course), but my pride didn't allow me to to ask him to slow down and I nearly collapsed when we reached my house.
We both took a shower, separately, and now here I was, sitting on my bed with Lucas Boyd in my favorite pink Barbie T-shirt that I kind of hated to admit he rocked better than I did, smelling like my apple-coconut body wash, a pair of my oversized shorts on his muscular legs and a whole pantry of snacks between us.
"You've asked this question like ten times." He said, popping a Pringle into his mouth.
"Werewolves exist? What the fuck!" I said under my breath.
When I asked God to send me Jacob because Bella (stupidly, might I add.) rejected him, I didn't think he'd take me seriously.
"We like to keep a low profile. Humans tend to overreact towards anything they can't understand." He replied, looking more than comfortable snuggled against Mr. Tummy Tums, my favorite teddy.
"So like how does the whole werewolf thing work? How many of you guys are there?" I asked, opening my bag of crisps.
"Well, legend has it that werewolves are descendants of the moon goddess. Werewolves have two sides, a human one and a wolf one. It's like having a best friend with you all the time, you can feel each other's emotions, although sometimes it can be kinda annoying.
You first get to turn, or as we say it shift into your wolf form when you hit puberty, so it's different for everyone, but you always have your wolf from the moment you're born." Lucas informed me, taking a break to put another Pringle into his mouth.
"Although sometimes it's the opposite for other wolves, it all depends on the form your mother was in when she gave birth to you. It isn't advisable to give birth in your wolf form because when the new wolf gets to shift to a human being, it's hard for them to adapt into society and they could turn rogue.
A rogue is a wolf that doesn't have a pack, usually because they've been cast out for committing some heinous crime or because they've chosen to go rogue on their own. More often than not, rogues mean trouble, in fact that's where I've been the past few days I've been missing from school.
There's been an alarming rate of rogue attacks in my pack, The Blood Crescent pack and I've been trying to track down the source. We're getting closer but we still haven't connected all the dots.
When rogues attack, they do it without co-ordination, but from these recent attacks it's clear to see that there's someone in charge of these attacks, it can't be a coincidence." He said, finishing.
I still couldn't believe everything I was hearing.
Werewolves exist?
"You said you belonged to the Blood Crescent pack. Just how many of these packs are there?" I asked, still mystified that other creatures apart from humans existed.
"Well in this state we have two packs, my pack and the Shadow Bane pack, your boyfriend's pack." He said, a frown setting into his face at the last sentence.
Boyfriend ke? Me that I'm still waiting for somebody's son to find.
Wait first...
"Xian ?" I spluttered.
So Xian was a werewolf too ?
"Yup, he's the Alpha- to- be of the Shadow Bane pack." Lucas said with an uninterested look, as if the mere mention of Xian's name bored him to death.
"First of all, he's not my boyfriend, and second of all what's an Alpha." I asked, slightly ticked off that Xian hadn't told me that he was a werewolf.
"Boyfriend or not he's your mate, I can smell him on you. He's already marked your scent." Lucas said, looking irritated. I wonder why the both of them hated each other so much.
"What do you mean, you can smell him on me?" I asked, bending my head a bit to the side to exaggerate my confusion.
"Werewolves have a powerful sense of smell, multiply the sense of a normal wolf by five, that's how well we can smell.
Xian marked your scent, it's a thing werewolves do when they find their mate to warn other wolves to back off, and a mate is like the missing piece of a werewolf.
Werewolf legend says, when the moon goddess was creating werewolves, she divided each werewolve's soul into two and put the soul into another person, so when they meet they completed each other. There are three steps after someone meets their mate, first of all they mark their scent like I mentioned before, to tell other wolves that they're off-limits, secondly they mate, which is basically sex and finally they mark them for real, which is biting the mate, usually on the neck, but it could be anywhere."
My cheeks heated up at the thought of having sex with Xian.
No Abiola, stay focused, he fucking marked your scent. What if you didn't want to be his mate?
I'm a free woman, I can't be tied down to one person just yet.
I didn't know whether to be angry or touched that Xian thought I was his other half.
"An Alpha is like the leader of a pack." Lucas continued, thankfully getting my mind off of performing Amoral Congress with Xian.
"There's a heirachy in every pack, the Alpha is in charge of everyone in the pack, their Beta is the second in command and The Gamma is the third in command and is usually in charge of the pack warriors. Xian and I are the Alpha-to-be's of our pack, we'll inherited the position form our fathers' when we turn 18." He paused, setting down his can of Pringles.
"Enough about me Abiola, What are you? Because you sure as hell aren't human." Lucas said, raising an eyebrow, leaving me with exactly the same question,
What the hell am I?
