Chapter SIX
North’s P.O.V
I guess I could see her concern, I once again shrugged, “So what does me waking up early mean?” She shrugged and said folding her arms over her chest, “I don’t know, but you do seem ok, you sure nothing feels odd?” I shook my head and she nodded, “Well, I guess we’ll find out later, you feel like socializing and getting food downstairs? or do you feel like being lazy and staying up here?”
I was confused, her face read terrified but she didn’t act concerned at all, maybe she was just pushing it aside like me. Not really wanting to deal with anything else after all the things that happened today. I guess I can understand that, just a little bit. But with how things are going right now, I don’t think my line of understanding will last long.
I thought for a moment, even though being lazy sounds nice, I really need to move, so I said, “Walking sounds nice” She nodded, then walked to the door, “Need help walking?” I stood with no problems and started, once again she looked at me in shock, “What?“.
She shook her head and started walking, on the way down the hall I passed a mirror and what I saw made me stop in my tracks. I looked at myself, I was completely different, my hair was slightly darker, it looked almost black, my eyes where gold and my frame was larger like I had been working out every day but eating junk food at the same time.
My skin was clear, ‘NO MORE ACNE!!’ I cheered in my head, I ran my hands over my face just to make sure it was me I was looking at. Then I looked over at Miah who was smiling, “Get used to your new look kid, it’s forever” I smiled at her and sighed, ‘New-look’ I ran over in my head.
I couldn’t believe this sudden change, I was no longer the boy that was hit by a car and bit by an animal yesterday, no I was now North, the super-hot werewolf. Seriously though, Jacob Black’s got nothing on me.
Then I followed her down the stairs into the front room, I heard I think his name was Connor speak, “So, now you’re all aware of our new pack member, North, and yes he’s a Lycan, a huge advantage for us” then another person said, “He’ll stay loyal right Alpha?” there was a moment of silence, then he spoke, “Yes, he will, he won’t be like the others, now, he recently had his first shift--“.
As Connor spoke, it sounded like he was annoyed with me being a Lycan, saying that I was an “advantage” was like he was trying to reassure himself. Great, I’ve been here only one day and the leader of this pack already doesn’t like me, great.
I heard a few people wince giving me an idea of what I should be going through. “Yeah, he’s currently resting, he’ll be out till tomorrow-” he spoke with his normal annoyed tone that seemed to only appear when he talked about me.
Then Miah and I walked in and everyone gasped when they saw me, even Connor, “How is he awake?!?” Connor asked with shock and anger, I don’t understand why this guy has a problem with me. Miah simply shrugged and said, “Beat’s me” then she pointed off to the side and said, “Kitchen’s over there” I nodded and walked over, feeling Connor’s glare on my back.
Once I walked in I saw a girl standing by the sink, her hair was long and a comfortable mixture of red and brown. Her head lifted up and then she turned around and faced, she had lightly tanned skin and grass green eyes. She looked me up and down and the smiled and spoke.
“So, you’re the wolf boy everyone’s talking about?” I stared at the girl that stood in front of me, she folded her arms over her chest and looked at me with a smile. I have to admit, she was very pretty, wait, what the hell am I saying!?
I brushed off my thought and nodded to her question, then she laughed and said, “Miah wasn’t kidding when she said you didn’t talk much” I rolled my eyes and said, “I’m social, just not all the time” I’ve known her for five seconds and she is already starting to annoy me, can’t believe I even dared to compliment her in my mind.
For a split second in my mind, she looked like an angel, what the hell is happening!!
She sighed and said, “Sure” then she turned around and went back to whatever she was doing, I rolled my eyes once again. I opened the fridge but everything in front of me was blurry, I squinted my eyes, but that didn’t help.
I guess the girl noticed my struggle and said with concern, “You ok wolf-boy?” I wanted to glare at her for the nickname, but she was now blurry.
I squinted my eyes to try and see her, “What? trying to make my brain explode or something?” I tilted my head and said, “Is it just me, or is everything around me just naturally blurry” she looked at me with concern, then she walked over to me and said, “How many fingers am I holding up??“.
I frowned when I saw a blurry image of her middle finger, “Ok, that’s just rude and uncalled for” she laughed out with a huge smile on her face and said, “But seriously, are you ok?” I nodded and said, “Things are just a little blurry”, she simply looked down and walked back over to what she was doing.
This girl is incredibly confusing, I mean she tries to help me, then messes with me, I don’t think I’ll ever understand her.
No way will her and I be friends at all
But I can’t help but feel something different from her
It’s probably nothing.
