The last werewolf standing

*** Angel’s POV *** * “Angel, darling… you will be late for school.” Nana says from the living room just when I finish packing my bag for the day. “I am coming.” I tell her and grab my leather jacket from the closet. I dress casually, I don’t like to be in the spotlight so I wear jeans and a grey long shelved fitted T-shirt. “Good morning Nana.” I greet her with a kiss on her cheek. Nana is a 65 years old, very kind and caring woman. They took me in when I had nowhere to go when I was just a twelve years old who lost her whole family and whole pack in an attack. I say pack because I am a werewolf, at least that’s what my parents and my family were before hunters killed them all. We were living in a pack by the mountains of Vancouver, the Golden Crescent Pack. It was a beautiful place and I loved to live there, the memories still fresh in my mind from the last day I spent there. That was the worst day of my life and I remember it like it was yesterday. “Good morning sweetie. Hurry up, you will be late again.” She says with a smile. Sadly her husband died three years ago so now it’s just Nana and me. We are living in a small cottage by the edge of the forest in Vancouver. I know I should have left from here as my parents told me to ,after the attack or it was more like a sl*ughter, but I couldn’t get myself to go too far from my home. “Alright Nana, see you later.” I tell her and run to school what isn’t far from our cottage. I use to run there because I always thought it’s a good training. Before mom and dad died, they told me to run and escape the hunters because I am special and I will understand everything with time. They told me to mend in amongst humans and wait for my wolf. They also told me to continue training just like we trained with them since I was six. Mom said I need to avoid trouble and I can’t tell anyone who and what I am, no matter what because that can cost my life and the existence of werewolves. Actually Mom didn’t know that back then but the hunters managed to kill every single werewolf around here. I don’t know about others, but I am pretty sure I am the only one left in Canada. “Hi baby.” Chris, my boyfriend calls out to me when I reach the parking lot of the school. I make my way towards him and greet him with a kiss. “Hi Chris. Where is Lara?” I ask him with a smile. Lara is my best friend since I started in school here, they are all human, but actually it is stupid of me to mention because as I said… I am the last werewolf alive. “She said she has something to do, but she will join us later.” Chris says and I nod my head. We started dating a few months ago, but nothing else happened between us, except kissing and cuddling. I know it’s stupid but I want to wait a few years before I give myself to someone. I know probably my mate is dead just like every other werewolves, but I just feel like it’s not right if I have s*x with someone who isn’t my mate. “Oh, okay.” I tell him and we start walking towards the school hand in hand. “Your birthday is next Saturday, what are you planning to do?” He asks. Actually my birthday is on Friday, but I needed to tell everyone it’s on 29th June, so one day later because of my shift. This Friday I will turn 18 and I will shift for the first time and I will get to talk to my wolf for the first time too. I couldn’t tell them that my actual birthday is on 28th because I need to be left alone that day to shift alone somewhere deep in the forest where no one can hear my screams. I am very excited about having my wolf finally. I have a lot of questions and I will get the chance to talk about our kind with someone after six years. “I don’t know, let’s go to a club maybe.” I tell him and he wraps his arm around me as we walk. Chris is a good guy with good heart, not to mention how s*xy he is. He is tall with muscles on the right places. He has brown eyes and hair. He is very handsome and he is the popular boy in our school. We are in senior year in high school and we have only a few more days till graduation. “If you want to… I don’t mind beautiful.” He says and presses a kiss onto my cheek. He calls me beautiful all the time because I am actually really very beautiful. Werewolves were always appealing to humans with our perfect body and features. It’s just in our nature to be flawless so the whole school call us the dream couple because the girls are dying to date Chris, while the guys would give anything to have a single conversation with me. We both already used to the attention, but we only have eyes for each other. I don’t have deep feelings for Chris since I know if my mate is alive then I will leave him in a heartbeat, but he is my friend too so we are perfectly fine by each other’s side. He respects me and doesn’t go after other girls while he is with me so I respect him as well. “We will talk about it by lunch. See you later?” I ask him when we reach the classroom where my first class will take place. “Alright, see you later.” He says and kisses my forehead before walking away. I walk in and ignore the looks what I get from the guys in the class. I know they are checking me out as I am making my way to my seat, even though I try to dress casually , they always eye me up and down when I step into the classroom while the girls are glaring at me with jealousy. Actually they have every reason to be jealous of me because I have very long hair with unique colour what is between ginger, light brown and blonde with big, vivid, grey-blue eyes. Everybody thinks I dyed my hair and they are asking me all the time which colour code is this. I always tell them it’s natural, but they never believe me. My skin is naturally tan and flawless, my lips are perfectly plump so I get why they are like that with me. The only girl who is nice to me is Lara, my best friend. She is beautiful too and she was never jealous of me. We are always there for each other and tell everything to one and other, except the werewolf thing. I am actually considering telling her once I can prove that I am not mentally ill so she will believe me when I turn into my wolf in the front of her, but I am not sure if it’s a good idea. I don’t want to lose her. Chris is an other story, I think if our relationship turns serious, I will need to tell him sooner or later. Especially when he will demand an explanation to why I don’t want to have anything s*xual with him for years. I want to give myself a few years to find my mate if he didn’t die yet, I know it’s quite impossible, but a girl can hope, right? By the way, maybe my mate is not even a werewolf. In my pack there were at least 8-10 humans since they were the mate of some pack members so it’s not impossible to have a human for a mate. If my mate was really a werewolf and he died, then there is a chance to have a second chance mate as a human as well so I am quite sure I will find my mate one day, I hope at least. If he is human, I will turn him into a werewolf with my mark so actually doesn’t matter if he will be one or not, I will love him either way. I don’t have any plans for the future, I didn’t apply to any college either, I can still do that later if I want to, but first I want to find my mate if he exists. I feel so alone as a werewolf in the human world, like I don’t belong and there is this pang in my chest all the time I think about my mate or my family. ‘Everything will be alright once you find your mate.’ Mom's words still echoes in my head and those words made me keep going in the hard times too. “Miss Williams, please pay attention.” My math teacher Mrs. Coleman says and I sit up straight right away. “Sorry ,Mrs. Coleman.” I tell her and try to pay attention. I am a good student, but I am distracted now more and more as my birthday is coming. I feel restless, I feel like something will happen and my peaceful life will come to an end. Let’s just hope it will be a positive change instead of a negative one.
