Wolf Pack

I woke up in the morning again, but the smells wore really strong again, I remembered the wolf skills I needed to deal with now. I got ready for work and I did a ponytail and went down stairs, closing the glass door I turned, and for a second waiting waiting for Jack to appear through the bushes.

I followed my way to the office and I was thinking about everything that was changing in my life, and for a lapse I remembered the Ball and that I needed a dress for it soon, I was completely lost in my thoughts, until a sigh interrupted my reasoning. It came from my left, from a forest that bordered the city lake and was in my way.

When I turned to look where it came from, two were altered and yellow eyes and very bright, I recognized it to be a wolf.

But why a wolf wasn’t Jack following me? could it be a guard?

Another pair of eyes appeared in the woods, brown they were, and then another pair of green eyes, all bright, all wolves.

My heart raced, my breathing was steady, I was panicked, but it did not compare to how I felt when the wolves came out of woods, one was gray, the other completely black and the last was dapple. They surrounded me with slow steps, they were cornering me, growling and howling, as if they were hunting a prey, I thought of turning wolf, but I tried to transmute, but was too nervous to do that.

At that moment I was already shaking and completely terrified, I tried to turn around to think about running, but one of them surrounded me, two were in front of me and one behind, I started to freak out and I was sure I would die right there, one of them growled repeatedly and when one of them took a step forward, I only heard a thudding sound and a low groan, and mixed wolf rolled into the woods with the thump, a caramel figure passed in front of me and hit the gray wolf that fell, the black wolf he got up on his hind legs to attack him but he was faster and bit his neck, the black wolf gave a loud cry of pain, and only then could I see that the caramel figure was Jack. He released the black wolf, and kicked him, the gray wolf bit his hind leg, he let out a scream, and at the same time he used the other paw to kick the wolf’s head, scratched his face, then he let go of his leg and everyone ran back into the woods. Jack turned to me, and then transmuted, he was in human form and naked again. As much as I liked the sight of him naked, I still hadn’t gotten used to it, and at that moment I was too scared to admire him.

Jack held me by the waist and led me to his car, after gathering his clothes and boots that were lying on the side of the sidewalk, the big black SUV was a few meters ahead, I realized that I hadn’t heard the sound of the car coming, I was too busy being terrified. He put me in the passenger seat, and turned around while putting on his pants and throwing his shirt over his chest, he opened the car door and put his boots on the floor of the car. He closed the door, put an arm around my shoulders and looked me in the eye. Our lips were so close I thought he might kiss me, I felt the electric shock at the touch. but I was so nervous that I ignored “Are you okay Luna?” he asked in a whisper.

Jack’s eyes were still shining and I could only nod as I felt the tears on my face flow, I can’t even imagine what would have happened if Jack hadn’t arrived.

“I don’t believe it, I should… Argh.”

Jack said as he slammed his fist on the steering wheel. He was angry, I could feel it.

“I’ll take you to the Village, you’re not safe here.”

Again, I just nod.

“Are you sure you’re okay? Do you want to go to a hospital? Do you have any scratches?”

“No, I’m fine, I just want to go to the Village.”

I said in a choked voice from crying.

“I should have been closer, it was to… ”

He exhaling and hitting the steering wheel again.

“Hey, No… You saved me Jack, I don’t know what would have happened if you hadn’t been here.”

“But they got to surround you Luna, I need to protect you. I should have stayed closer. I can’t let anything happen to you.”

His eyes were even brighter. His wolf was wanting to take control, but the threat was already gone, why?

We set off towards the Village, Jack was driving very fast, we arrived in a few minutes to the Village, and on the way we didn’t talk, I just heard his smooth breathing. I replayed the events in my head several times on the way, I didn’t count my tears.

We arrived outside the mansion, Jack parked and turned to me saying:

“Come in, I’ll call Hughes and Alina, I’ll go to the Forsaken to sort this thing out.”

“No.”

I let out a scream instinctively.

I said as we instinctively wrapped our hands around the wrist actively holding it. Shock coursed through my body again and he looked me in the eye.

I felt safe with him around, even more so after what happened, and I couldn’t imagine what could happen to him angry inside the Forsaken Pack.

“Stay, please.”

I pleaded, I never imagined myself as a helpless girl asking for safety, but at that moment I felt that way, and I just wanted to be in the Village and with Jack around, I felt safe.

He thought for a few seconds, I felt his breathing slow down and the sparkle in his eyes dimmed, he was in control again. He nodded and let out a heavy sigh.

“Alright, let’s go inside.”

I opened the passenger door, and as I walked around the car I noticed that Jack was wearing his boots, and his right ankle had a huge bite mark and a lot of blood, I looked inside the car and there was a small pool of blood on his carpet.

“Jack your foot”

I stared wide-eyed at the wound.

“We need to take care of this.”

He put his boots on anyway, and I helped him into Hughes’ house while he limped a little. When I touched it, I felt the shock again, but it must have been the car again.

“What happened?”

Hughes asked very scared as he pulled out a chair for Jack.

“Alinaaaa.”

He screamed very loudly, and then howled.

“The Forsaken have surrounded Luna.”

Jack said with a pained groan then.

“And I don’t know what would have happened if Jack hadn’t shown up.”

I interrupted his speech by speaking loudly, and only then did I realize how hysterical and scared I was still, and still crying.

“Oh my granddaughter, I can’t even imagine how you felt.”

Hughes said as he hugged me. Alina ran down the stairs, and opened her mouth in amazement at the sight of Jack’s leg.

“Jack, my dear, what did they do to you?”

She said as she put her hands around the wound and the bleeding was slowly decreasing, Jack sighed in relief.

“And you, my child, must be completely scared. I’ll make you a compress, Jack, and a soothing tea for both of you.”

Alina headed into the kitchen to prepare. Meanwhile, Came down of the stairs a tall, dark-skinned man with slightly graying hair, older too, probably the same age as Alina.

“What happened?”

he asked as he hurried down the stairs and joined us.

“Ah Edward, Luna and Jack were attacked by the Forsaken.”

Hughes replied.

“In our lands my Alpha?”

The man took a deep breath into his lungs, and you could feel his anger rising, as if something unforgivable was being said.

“No, it was in the city.”

I felt Edward let his guard down and take a deep breath again.

“But independent, I want to guard 24 hours in Luna, even here in Vila.”

Hughes said looking up, and in a firm voice of order.

“As you wish my Alpha.”

Edward said as he placed his hands on his chest and made a little reference.

“But have your coffee first Ed, Luna is safe here with us and you can direct the guard later.”

Alina said as poured myself the cup of tea, handed another one to Jack and placed a piece of cloth soaked in herbs over his ankle. I confess that I felt guilty that he had hurt himself like that.

“By the way, this is my Ed, your great-uncle, and head of the Pack Guard.”

I had already taken a few sips of the tea, which like magic really calmed me down, so I said with a smile on my face:

“Nice to meet you.”

He replied with another smile.

“Pancakes?”

Alina asked, without even waiting for an answer, she was already preparing it, and there we had breakfast, all together, and at that moment it was easy to forget the attack, it was easy to enjoy breakfast with the family.
