I waited for the wolf to kill me but instead, I heard a loud growl from my right side, I opened my eyes and turned my head towards the growl to spot the same black wolf I met a few nights ago. It looked a little bigger than the brown wolf which was standing in front of me and the black wolf was holding the same cloth that Alexander wore today with its teeth. Then that means, oh my god! I gasped aloud, which made both the wolves to snap their heads toward me.
Suddenly the black wolf dropped the clothes on the ground and lunge at the brown one, I used this chance to limp towards Alexander’s cloth and hugged it to my chest. I could smell his minty smell mixed with sandalwood in his clothes, he was not my friend but because of me, he was eaten by a wolf. My lips trembled and I left an ugly sob and started to cry like a baby.
I lifted my teary eyes and saw the two wolf rolling on the dirty ground but neither of the wolf were hurting each other. The black wolf left a bone-chilling growl, which made the brown one to bow its head in submission or maybe defeat, I don’t know exactly what it was.
“I’m s…so…. sorry, Alex…Alexander, it’s my fault. What am I supposed to tell my granny … When she asked me about you,” I whimpered and hugged his clothes close to me. I could say that both the wolf stopped fighting, when I lifted my gaze to the brown one, it was no longer there. It must have run off due to the black wolf.
The rustling and crunching of leaves on the ground made me snap my head towards my left to spot the black wolf. It looks so mighty and mystical, I started to panic when it made its way towards me with slow steps. It was now standing so close to me, I let out a whimper and started to cry so loud.
“Pl…please do… don’t eat me” I hiccupped. It looked at me with amusement and fury clear in its golden eyes which was surrounded by a blue ring.
“Why…? Why did you eat him?” I asked Mr Wolf with a hoarse voice due to crying. It tilted its eyes to the side and made some strange noise, its fur started to vanish and replaced by tan skin, the wolf started to shift into a human, more like Alexander.
I was speechless and he was, whoa! Naked like butt naked, he had well-defined abs, muscular chest, he was slender but looks stronger, I can see his V line which leads to…I diverted my eyes to his face. I tried not to focus on his junk, so I look into his blue eyes, which holds the entire ocean as a captive.
I gaped at him like a fish unable to form a sentence, was he for even real?
“Missed me so much?” he asked me with a teasing smile. I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him so tight, I didn’t care about his nakedness because I thought he was eaten by a wolf. He was startled by my sudden action and I again started to cry, he just held me close to his chest and rocked me back and forth to calm me.
“I… I thought you were… eaten by that w… wolf” I sobbed, he just rubbed my back.
“Catherine how can I eat myself?” he asked me and it made me pull out of the warm embrace and look at him with panic.
“You are a wolf alien.” I accused him by taking some steps back, He gave me a lopsided grin and ran his hand through his silky brown hair.
“I’ll explain to you everything but can you… Ah… give me my clothes, unless you want me to be naked.” He asked me with a little tease. My face bloomed with colour, I threw his clothes at him and turned my back to him for his privacy. I heard him chuckle at my reaction.
“Ahem! You can turn around I changed to my clothes” he told me by clearing his throat. I turned around to see him shifting from one leg to another.
“So you are a wolf” I stated, he stared at me and chuckled softly, I narrowed my eyes and pouted.
“I’m half human and half wolf that makes me a werewolf, I’m not an alien okay so relax, my kind is considered as a myth that’s why no one knows about my kind,” he explained.
“But if you are living on this earth for so long how come no one knew about you?” I asked him with confusion.
“Because we prefer to live in less populated places and in places which are covered by forest and mostly we avoid shifting into our wolf in front of humans, so that’s why, no one found our existence,” He reasoned and I hum in response.
“It’s getting dark, you can stay with me tonight, and I’ll take you home the next morning because you are hurt”
“What about my granny?” I asked him.
“I’ll tell her through phone call, let’s take you to the packhouse, it’s in the middle of this forest just a few distance away from here.” He assured me with a smile, right now I feel so out of place and confused, I was thinking of asking him once we reach his place.
