The Wolf Within My Love

Chapter 17

    I woke up to someone knocking on the door, I slowly got up and slipped on my slippers. I slowly walked over to the door still groggy from just waking up. Open the door to see my father, Satan himself. I motion for him to come in and sit down. He sat down on the end of my bed, looking as if something was wrong. Many reasons went through my head on why he would be upset. Instead of trying to guess I just asked. 

           “What’s wrong?”

           “I was thinking about your old life, I wanted to know how it was and is.”

           “Well it’s kind of complicated, I’ve made it with a werewolf and I’ve become half of that. We met through protective custody, he was the one that was protecting me. I had got into some trouble with the law and came clean about what had happened. Well the guy that I had gotten in trouble with is now dead.”

           “Well no one said life was easy.”

           I couldn’t help but to wonder if that was the only thing he wanted to ask. He slowly stood up and walked out closing the door softly behind him. I decided to get dressed and ready for training, what was that guys name again? I guess I’ll find out when I go to the gym. I walked into the bathroom with clothes in my hand, and got dressed into my yoga pants with my bright green tank top. I walked out and slowly went to the gym. Not sure what I’m up for, wondering how the training is going to be. 

          Arriving at the gym I saw the demon's face, and his name burst in my mind that I couldn’t remember before. Dean was standing there with a sword in his hand, then I realized he had another sword attached to his hip. I watched him slowly shift into a human form, and it made me wonder how I would look as a demon. Let alone the fact that I am not just a demon, I’m a hybrid of werewolf and demon. I’m the first of my kind and no one really knows what I’m capable of.

         “Here is your sword.”

         “Thank you.” 

        His eyes were an emerald green, a strong jaw line that he even had as a demon, his muscles were tight, he had sweat dripping down his body, and his scent was of spring flowers which caught my attention. He looked at me with eyes that studied me, as if he was waiting for something. He took his sword out of the sheath that was at his hip, and held it up ready for combat. His stance was normal, relaxed, but I could tell he was ready. He lunged at me, swiping the sword and I held my position with a block. 

        “You need to be ready for anything, your attacker will not hold back.”

        He swung again but harder, the  metal from the swords clashing together.

        “What about powers?”

        “Powers can be useful when you know how to use them, but only the stronger and older ones have powers.”

        “But I do…”

        At this point he stops and looks at me with wonder in his eyes. He steps back and stutters over his words.

        “Can you show me?”

        I look at him with shock in my eyes, not expecting him to ask. I nod and step farther away from him, letting the heat spread all over my body. I can tell he can feel it by the sweat pouring down. My skin starts to glow and fire erupts from my body, the sword starts to melt in my hand. I look up at Dean and see that his face is red and jaw hanging down. I then let the fire vanish only leaving behind a small cloud of smoke in the room.

        “That was amazing… you're amazing.”

         I couldn't hold back my smile, he slowly walks back over to me and touches my now cold skin. He then puts the sword back in the sheath on his hip, backs up and turns back to his demon form. 

        “Now is time for you to learn to shift.”

        “I don’t know about that.”

        “Why?”

        “Because I'm half wolf as well.”

        “It’s ok, you need to learn.”

        “Just clear your mind and think about what's inside. Feel it, own it, don’t be scared of it.”

        I did what he said and I could my body turn and shift. There were mirrors all over the room so I could see myself as I turned. I’m tall, horns black as night, skin red as blood, my tail is long and slender, my legs as a wolf but I'm able to stand up, and muscle all over. I’m shocked at how I look, I can’t believe I look like this, I look different from all the others, I'm taller, stronger, and my horns are bigger. I look down at my hands and notice I still have claws but my hands them self look human but red. 

        “Look at you, gorgeous.”

         I turn over to him to see him holding an axe, he then swings and misses with my fast reflexes, I grab him by the throat and hold him up. He drops the axe at his side and I slowly lower him to the ground. He looks at me with wonder and doesn't say anything. He then picks up the axe with me watching his every move, and puts it away with the rest of the weapons. I then get a jolt of feelings that aren’t mine, after a moment I realize that it’s Leo. He’s worried and wants to see me, he wants to find me, thinking that I’m hurt.
