The Pack's Weirdo : A Mystery to Unveil

Chapter 2 - Attack-1

When we completed our training, it was already 8 am, and my body was aching everywhere.

“Aadhya, put the weapons in the arsenal,” gamma Alexander ordered me. I bowed and started doing the said. Layla and Matt joined me when I was collecting the weapons and helped me gather the rest.

“So, any plans for tomorrow,” Matt asked me curiously, and Layla rolled her eyes.

“I just wanted to sleep the whole day,” I said to him, and he rolled his eyes while Layla gave me a proud look. “And eat lots of delicious food...” I spoke with a dreamy look. After a few minutes, Matt snapped his fingers in front of my face and shook his head in disappointment.

“Don’t give us these looks, matty. Food and sleep are the first love of our lives” Layla supported me, and we walked inside the arsenal and put different weapons in their respective places.

“Come on, addy, tell me what the plan is. It’s your twentieth birthday, and I wanted it to be mind-blasting” I rolled my eyes at Matt’s enthusiasm on my birthday while Layla snorted.

“Then just put a bomb in her head and light it... you will surely be successful in blasting her mind,” she commented sarcastically, and he rolled his eyes at her comment.

“Oh, shut up, Layla. It’s because of you that she has become so lazy. You are the one who supports her in this s**t,” he scolded her, and she looked at me proudly... {well, he is not wrong. He loves to party, but we both are opposite of him. So, the majority of his party plans fail because we always want to stay indoors}

“I am proud that she finally learned something from me,” she remarked while Matt looked at her in pure irritation.

“I am giving you time till evening; plan something on your own, or I will plan everything according to my likes,” he said with finality and gave us the pointed looks, “and none of you can decline that.”

“We will talk about it later, Matt,” Layla said to him and waved her hand in dismissal. I was about to say something when I noticed uneasiness on her face.

“What happened, Layla?” I asked her in concern.

“I don’t know, but there is something wrong with my wolf. She is uneasy and is continuously pacing in my head from yesterday,” she said, and Matt looked at her in shock.

“Now, what’s with you, matt?” I asked him.

“It’s just, my wolf is also on edge from yesterday,” he said, and both shared nervous glances.

“Does it mean something bad?” I asked both of them.

“Generally, our wolves behave like that when they sense some danger or something unusual,” Layla told me nervously.

“But if something bad is going to happen, then don’t you think that alpha Aiden’s wolf had also sensed something” I suggested to her, and she nodded slowly.

“It’s nothing, guys; we are just overthinking. I have to go now. I am patrolling the eastern borders with others in case you need me,” Matt informed us, and we nodded. He ran towards his house while we exited the arsenal.

“Mom invited you for breakfast today,” she said, and I smiled. Delta Delilah, Layla’s mother, was my mother’s best friend. After my parents’ death, many things changed along with my rank in this pack, but she always treated me the same. After mom and dad’s death, Alpha Aiden wanted to shift me to the human settlement, but Layla’s parents talked with him and convinced him to let me stay in the pack. I lived in the pack’s orphanage till I turned 16, and after that, I got a small room in the pack house. I looked at Layla, who was looking at me expectantly.

“I don’t think Beth would like that, and I think gamma Alexander would surely have some work for me” Bethany is 17 years old, Layla’s younger sister, but she doesn’t like me.

When I turned 16 and shifted in the pack house. Alpha asked me in which manner I would like to perform duties as omega, like cleaning, cooking, gardening, or some challenging tasks like learning the basics of medicine and helping in hospitals or helping in training grounds. So, I chose the training grounds, and we got paid for these duties. Many people here thought that I would go to human settlements and live with them, but I didn’t have the heart to leave the world where I was born, and except for my friends, no one knew that I wanted to be one of the warriors of the pack, that’s why I train harder than any werewolf in this whole pack.

“It’s my parents’ house, not Beth’s; I am going to alpha’s place, he called me in his office. As soon as I am free from there, you are coming with me to my home; now go and take a quick shower,” she told me sternly, and I nodded. Then she went towards alpha’s house, which is the third building from the left of the pack house.

I walked towards the pack house with a smile on my face... {yeah, I love my stupid best friend} ... when I entered the pack house, I heard noises coming from the dining hall, and I smiled in victory... {it’s good that they all are there, or they will surely try to give me a little hard time}. I ran into my room and took a quick shower. I changed into skinny black jeans and a white hoodie and ran downstairs. I was running fast when my foot got caught in something, and I was about to fall to the ground when I tilted myself in time. Finally, with a loud thud, my side came in contact with the cold floor, and I screamed in pain. For a few minutes, only blackness and pain consumed my thoughts. When I could finally see things, I slowly got up and found everyone laughing at me. Here everyone means our to-be-alpha Ethan smith, Max Moore (to be beta), Sam Carter (to be gamma), Ethan’s girlfriend Stella Wilson (her parents were beta of red moon pack, they sent her here five years back for studies as our pack has best education facilities for werewolves in nearby packs) and her minions Annie and belle.
