To say that the next two weeks were hectic was an understatement. I temporarily moved in with Ian to see if this was something that could work because with my studies I could not be messing around. Ana was still fighting moving in with Oliver of course since they just met, I saw her though every day since she slept here almost every night. We were allowed to tell Penny and Sigrid about them being werewolves since they would be visiting and it would be better if we just told them rather than them seeing some teen shift. They were sceptical but then Oliver shifted and they just stood there with their mouths open, I just laughed because somehow I was not fazed by all of this, I felt at home and in place. Ian was keeping me away from everybody and I didn't know why, we woke up together then he would leave for some alpha business and when I would roam about the house there was no one there and when I would go outside I could never find anyone. Ian got nervous when I would leave but I was bored here alone and Noah was not helping. He came with me to get my cast off and to take the stitches out of my hand, when I looked at it now it looks like Frankenstein's hand.
We were sitting in the big tv room, watching something I had no interest in.
“Common Noah please shift” I wine.
Ana just smiles at me, I have been whining to him about shifting so I could check him out, he said that his tail had been giving him trouble when he shifted so I wanted to see.
When you are studying animals you mostly only get to examine dead wild animals like wolves but know I had the perfect chance. I had been thinking about asking Ian but he is so serious here and so busy, I didn't want to interrupt him.
“No Stephanie, I told you no” He said in a hard voice.
I look at him, he is sitting straight on the sofa, he is wearing dress pants, white button down shirt and a gray vest. His short haircut is neat and clean, his face is handsome but his stern serious look makes him look unapproachable. He is big build like Ian but still not at big and muscular as him, he looks like a beta. Then when I think about it more, why is Ians Beta hanging with me? Why isn't he with Ian?
“Why not? I am only going to see what is wrong with your tail”
“Drop it”
“Fine you are so boring, Ana let's go find Oliver and make him shift for me” I say.
Anas face lights up at the mention of Oliver and she jumps up from the couch ready to find her mate. We start walking through the house to the front door because Oliver was probably outside or in the other houses. I was not allowed to go to the other houses though but Oliver could come outside, Ian was very strict on my not going into the other houses. I wondered about that since Ana slept there the first days until Ian moved her and Oliver into his house so I wouldn't have a reason to go there. He called it the pack house and said that most of the other pack members lived there, some build a house around the property and then there was Ian's house. That was the main house with the alphas office and meeting rooms.
“Girls come back” I heard a harsh voice call behind us.
“Nope we are on the hunt for a wolf” I said over my shoulder.
Then he was in front of us with closed eyes and holding up his finger, I think he is mind linking someone. Ian told me about that, they can go into each other's minds and talk.
HE IS TELLING ON ME!
“Are you talking to Ian?” I ask angry.
His eyes open wide but he just shakes his head, I narrow my eyes at him but he just looks away from my gaze.
I speed walk outside, I stand there for a moment until Lina finally shows up, Lina is the wolf that tried to kill me but stopped and then tried to save me. She tried to explain it to me, something about her wolf submitting to me and now I was her Luna and she is indebted to me.
“Hi Luna” she said happily and out of breath.
She was not allowed in the house and the people at the pack house didn't really trust her yet so most of the time just trained or waited for me around my house.
“Shift for me” I ask but I skip the please because it felt somehow weird.
Without a second thought she shifted and now was standing before me a gray light brown wolf, it bowed its head when I walked closer to her. I walked to her side and slowly lifted my hand to put on her back, she didn't even breath because she was scared to frighten me. I look up at Ana with her crossed arms over her chest and Noah ready to pounce on Lina if she would even move a single muscle wrong. I put my arm on Lena's back and stroke her furr, she is so soft but still so rough, then I push my hand down on her spine so I could feel every joint. I start to use both of my arm on her back and I am fascinated by her build, it is so strong, her bones are bigger than in a normal wolf. There is like the change does not really change the bones from human to wolf, then before I could examine her more I was being janked away by some really big hands around my waist and stomach.
“What the hell is going on? What the fock are you doing?” I hear an angry but beautiful voice yell at me.
I was now about six meters away from Lina but I think that she cowered away as well, I get out of Ians hold and stand to look at him. He is mad, like fuming mad, his shoulders are going up and down and I can see that he is trying to control himself.
“I was keeping myself occupied since you are keeping me away from everything” I snap at him.
I missed him, we have not had any time together and it was making me insane, I missed him and I felt like he was embarrassed that I was just a human. He was taken aback by my snapping at him because I had been so nice the last few days, well when I went to sleep and then when I woke up.
I look up at him angry because I moved here to see what it would be to actually go full on in, in this but if that was us just sleeping in the same bed then I was not interested. We were having a staring contest but neither one of us was giving in so I just broke the contact and started to walk to the forrest.
“Where the hell do you think your going?” he yelled at me but I just ignored him.
I kept on walking but then I heard loud footsteps behind me but before he could pick me up again I swiftly moved out of his grasp.
“Leave me alone Ian” I say without even looking at him.
I keep on walking in the woods but I hear that he is still following me.
“Leave me alone! I mean it otherwise you are sleeping on the couch” I yell at my back.
I heard his footsteps stopped and I felt bad because I knew I hurt him, I was so mad, this was taking me back to my house where I grew up.
I have a big family, I have two sisters both older then I have a much older brother that I never really saw because he moved to collage. My dad is a police officer so he would be working many different hours so he was never really home to help mw with homework or other stuff like that and when he was home he was tired and sleeping. My mother worked at home doing something for other companies, I never understood her work as a child and as an adult I never asked about it more. My older sisters were quite a handful for my parents so I just faded into the background. One of my sisters was a drug addict so she took a lot of time and the other was full on in dancing so mom and dad always had to go to her recitals. I convinced myself I liked being in the background and forgotten for so long that I just started doing it with everything. Then Anas mother sat me down and told me to buckle up and do better because she was expecting much more from me and that shook my entire world. I never had any connections with my sisters or my parents so when I decided to move away with Ana and Penny, I just felt relieved because then I won't have to force the relationship anymore. Ana and Penny often say that it was also my fault for not having a good relationship with them since I never tried but I just never felt the need to talk to them or share with them because they wouldn't have had the time to help or do anything about it anyways. I just always felt it was best for me to just be out of the way since my other sisters were so troublesome. I was often left alone at the house because there was not any place in the car, I had to make my own launch for school and I just took care of myself. One time I was about twelve my sister overdosed and mom and dad had to go to the hospital, they took my other sister but left me, I don't know if they just forgot me or what but when I woke up and the house was empty, I just turned on the Tv and got breakfast.
I look up from the memory of me used to being alone and realise I am alone in the woods and I have no idea where I am. I just turned around to go back because that is my best bet when I hear a growl. I turn around and see a chocolate brown wolf bearing its teeth at me, I lift up my hands and try to apare calm and innocent. If this was one of Ians wolves then he should have told them I was there but if it's not I am screwed. I take a step back but the wolf growls louder in warning and I am debating inside.
If this is Ians wolf then I should just tell him to mind link his alpha and this would be over but if this is not Ians then I would be in more of a danger if I tell them I am with the alpha. When I was thinking this over I take one step back but a big hard chest hits my back and then there is something over my mouth and I see spots, then just blackness.
