Chapter 8 Chapter 8

The next day I saw Sarah talking to Cane more like arguing but still there was love in it. I wish humans were like that 'no-no An these things are not for you. focus'

I am walking in the forest I don't know why but I am feeling a pull towards it.

Strom is there more like waiting for someone, as soon as I saw him he turned, his wolf is really something, I went and stood in front of him

"It was you isn't it,I asked narrowing my eyes at him

He just gave me a sheepish grin showing off his blade sharp teeth, trying to look innocent. which worked

"That was really sweet," I said sarcastically glaring at him, he just poked his tongue out at me

"Huh very mature," I said rolling my eyes at him

He nudged me "what??" I asked confused

He bent down " you want me to sit on you??" I asked not believing, wolves never allow anyone to ride them

"I don't think it's a great idea," I said shaking my head backing away.

He whimpered "hey last time I tried to sit on a wolf-" he started growling -" last time I tried to sit on Sarah in her wolf form I ended up breaking my leg. Both of them so no thanks " I said standing straight

He nudged me again so looked at him more like in his eyes it held so much protection his face held determination that he would never let anything happen to me

After constantly looking in his eyes I gave up "fine I will sit on you but beware. if I fall, you fall" I said pointing my index finger to his snout, he just rolled his eyes and bent down again

I carefully sat on him, his fur is amazingly soft like world's softest silk and its supper shinny, he slowly stood on his four legs he looked at me

"I am good, now what's next?" I asked getting comfortable on him he just took off somewhere in the jungle, it'sss not like he gonna say anything so I enjoyed my riding let me tell you its awesome, he suddenly stopped and bent down so that's my clue to get off.

When I was off of him I turned to face him, he lifted his right paw and covered his eyes I just looked at him confused, he then did it again then a thought flashed to me

"You want me to cover my eyes? ?" I asked him he started nodding

"No no there are so many stones and trees and who knows there might be a cliff-" I saw him when I was talking.he just gave me a look saying 'seriously ' so I shut up and covered my eyes with my hands

I peeked a little and he growled "ok ok no peeking " I said and honestly covered my eyes

He nudged me and started pushing me a little. some few minutes later he growled so I uncovered my eyes and looked at him but he was looking straight ahead so I looked towards the direction he was looking and I think I can't breathe its totally breathtaking, the view before I am mind-blowing

It's an amazing lake moonlight shining on it. Millions of stars shining above us. There was an all wavy path of stones.

I turned to see Strom he was looking at me nervously "it's beautiful " I said smiling sweetly at him.

I was enjoying the view and he was looking at me with so much love in his eyes that I don't think I can explain.

After wandering around that place I sat at the edge of the lake putting my legs in it, I felt so relaxed.

Strom sat beside me looking at the stars, and I was doing the same

"My parents use to take me to lakes when I way young eggn go g,"aid, I don't know why but I felt like saying it, I never speak about my parents

He looked at me but I was looking at stars but continue

"I was five when I last went to a lake with my parents, it was fun. we always use to go hiking. We were on our way to our farmhouse but out of nowhere there jumped four wolves just like the other day you saved me from, those wolves were huge and were dangerous, my father stood in front of my mother and she was covering me, those wolves charged at my father. bit his arm and make him bleed and other wolf snatched my mother out of my grasp and bit her arm off he threw her arm on the ground, she was bleeding so much, the matter was worse with my father. they bit both of his arms and right leg off. and finally grabbed his head in its mouth and pulled it off. there lied my father's lifeless without his head attached my mother was yelling something to me but I was too shocked to hear her. then her yelling was cut short when a wolf clawed her throat, I was broken, too broken. it was too much for a five year to watch. so I ran towards my mother's body and touched her cheek her last words were 'i love you sweetie be strong and be brave' she died in my arms, I looked at the monsters in front of me who killed my family the only thing I had, the wolves started approaching me like a predator but I was not scared, it lifted its claws to my face but I didn't look away but its claws never touched my face it was shot in the head with an arrow, it fell on my feet. lifeless and the other wolves were alert looking around but was soon killed like the other wolf.

A man came rushed towards me and lifted me in his arms 'thank god your safe' he said looking at me but I was staring at my parent's lifeless bodies, he turned me around 'don't worry Angel it happened for a reason' he said and hugged me tight and that man is King Charles. the hunter king, since then I started having nightmares every night I woke up screaming, every night I saw my parents die, every night I just stood there unable to do anything, that's the moment I decided I will have my revenge, that's why I became a heartless monster, every time I see a werewolf it boils my blood" I said, I didn't realize I was shaking and I was crying until storm licked my tears away

He had tears in his eyes as well and it slides down his cheek I don't know why but it felt good to finally open up to someone, the pain. the burden was lifted off my chest, I felt free, I felt alive

I wiped off his tears and gave him a sad smile

"Thank you," I said glad that he listens to me without a word

We sat there just looking at the calm water I've never said about it to anyone not even to Sarah and Zeus. then why him but I am just glad. I did. I felt like I can trust him as he will never let me down

After that, I don't know how I fell asleep on him his presence was protective enough for me to just lay down on him I knew I was safe
