Wolf Pack

Chapter Knowing me more....



“I can’t even imagine the shock you’re feeling, but I didn’t imagine there would be an easy way to tell you, and your grandfather was afraid to get emotional and scare you if he came, but he’s dying to see you again. He’s probably the caramel wolf of your memory.”

“Are you relatives? Why have the same color? Are we relatives?”

I felt confused and ashamed that I might have faced my “cousin” naked.

“No, it’s just a coincidence that we are the same color, my family came from the South and joined your grandfather’s pack while I was still a baby, we are not related, but your grandfather raised me after my parents died.”

For a few seconds I felt strange and maybe with a kind of jealousy and anger, because my grandfather raised a boy and didn’t raise me, didn’t he claim my custody? My thoughts were cut off as he continued to speak.

“I can teach you how to transmute too, I think that’s the only way you’ll be sure of your origin, and maybe that will help.”

He said as he took a photo from his shirt pocket.

“Your grandfather told me to deliver it to you.”

It was a picture of a blond, gray-eyed child on the lap of a blond woman with blue eyes, the woman I saw in my memory, and a man with dark hair and gray eyes, gray like mine. My God, that’s what I was thinking... It was me as a baby, and probably my parents…

I didn’t know what to think, or react, or anything, I felt familiar with that photo, as crazy as it seemed it made sense in my heart.

“It’s too much for you... Keep the photo, and try to assimilate everything, maybe we’ll meet tomorrow, and I’ll tell you more about... You can trust me.”

He smiled beautifully and threw his head back as he completed.

“Said the man who appeared out of nowhere, knew everything about his life and turned into a wolf in front of him.”

I smiled, a little uncomfortable with all that, but as absurd as it sounds he really gave me confidence.

“Could it be today?”

I asked while trying to assimilate my thoughts, it was a lot to digest, but if I really were a wolf (What a crazy thing, even to think about), then I would find out all this soon.

“Of course, I’ll ask Ken to visit the lumber yard.”

“But wait, how am I supposed to know that you won’t kidnap me, kill me or eat me?”

I asked without thinking about the consequences of that question.

At that moment he burst out laughing, he even had to suck in his breath hard between the fits of laughter.

“We wolves don’t eat humans, nor each other, we may have already done that in the past, but nowadays, we buy meat in the markets. And if I really wanted to kidnap you or kill you, I would have done it already.”

I nodded my head as it really made sense, and it was a strange feeling but I felt I could trust him, I followed him out of the room as he opened it for me, Jack called my boss and talked to him for a few minutes while I tidied up. my stuff, I analyzed them both, and it was funny how Jack’s leadership stood out from Ken’s. Ken was my boss and he led a huge team, but Jack was like he ran the world, my impression was that he would excel in any group, lead any team. They ended the conversation and then they came towards me.

" Luna, Jack requested a visit from you to the lumber company, to specialize you in their contracts, who knows we can direct you to an exclusive job.”

Ken said while smiling, and at the end of the sentence he turned to Jack completing.

“She can stay as many days as you like.”

“Great, let’s keep in touch.”

Jack smiled and shook hands with Ken as I grabbed my bag and my boss patted me on the back.

We passed by the reception and the company’s cat, a huge orange cat, who was always around, and never liked me, when he saw us, he got goosebumps, screamed and ran away.

“Have you ever wondered why cats don’t like you? “

Jack asked me laughing.

I had never thought about it, but no cat ever liked me, they always ran away or scratched me.

“I never want to get my hand on any cat. “

I replied looking for memories in my memory, cats really hated me.

“When we’re alone they run away, but when we’re in a group they freak out, like this little guy there.”

I had a few laughs, because it explained my lifelong enmity with cats, but the idea of ​​turning into a wolf was still like a joke in my head.

We passed some men who were close to the door of the company, as we passed them, they made a small bow and started to follow us, I turned back and looked at them a little scared, and Jack put his hand on my waist,his touch even though over the clothes brought me a strange kind of shiver, he pulled me close to him gently, and said in my ear: “They are our guard, rest assured.”

I didn’t even have time to ask anything else, we got to the car. It was a large black SUV, and the guard men got into two vans.

“Why do we need a guard?”

“You need.” He stopped, sighed and looked at me with compassion. “It’s a long story and we’ll tell you everything, but I wanted you to meet your grandfather before. Let’s go to the lumber mill, there you can transform yourself and understand everything a little better.”

“I lived there until I was three?”

“Yes, your parents lived there and so did you. Do you have any memory of there?”

“No”

I sighed deeply.

“I have a memory block before the adoption, my parents said I probably had some trauma that made me forget everything.”

“They saved your life, without knowing it.” Jack blurted out the sentence as if he was thinking aloud.

“What?”

“You were attacked and the Forsaken were chasing you, but there is a Magna law, where we cannot transform in front of humans or attack them, the wolf that does this is condemned to death and all his family exiled, it is the greatest dishonor. that can happen. When your foster parents found you running and injured, the Forsaken were chasing you, but your parents died protecting you, when humans took you in, all the Forsaken just couldn’t do anything.”

“My grandfather never thought of looking for me or requesting my custody?” I felt my heart tighten thinking about it, because he never looked for me before?

“He said that every day of his life, but growing up among humans you would always be safe from the Forsaken attacks, growing up with him you would always be a target.”

“Like now?”

“Exactly”

“But why now?”

“You turned 22”

Jack didn’t ask, it was a statement.

It had been 3 days since I had turned 22.

“We reach maturity at 22, that’s when we can finally transform and acquire our wolf abilities.”

“But it’s been 3 days since I’m 22.”

“And it’s been three days since the guards and I followed you.”

Jack said smiling.

“You didn’t do a very good job, I saw you yesterday and this morning.”

“We can say that watching without being seen is not on my list of skills.”

“Did you talk about skills?” I asked frowning.

“Heightened sense of smell, vision, and agility. You must be feeling strong smells, our sense of smell is very keen, we are more agile than humans, and some wolves have some extra abilities, such as leadership power, healing among other things.”

That explained the strong smells I’d been smelling for the past few days. And for sure Jack had thi

We had been on a dirt road for some time, surrounded by pine trees on both sides, so Jack entered a small entrance practically hidden among the trees, the road was still dirt and surrounded by pine trees, to a certain extent, when the road turned into a beautiful path lined with stones, a portico approached and I could see fences as high as I could see. There was a gate that opened when they saw the cars, there were some guards doing the security of the place too they made a small salute when they saw Jack, when passing the gate a clearing was formed between the trees and a beautiful field opened up, it was visible well in the background a village with some houses, a huge lake, and on the left a giant logging shed, Jack took the right, and parked the car a little ahead.
