Alex, Johnny, the twins and I are all sitting by the table that is covered with food and we’re all digging in. Jacob would usually be with us but he is out on guard duty this afternoon.
“Angel?” I look up to see Johnny calling me, “Will you be able to tell us what happened that night we found you and where all your injuries came from.” He asks me with such sincerity in his voice. I can’t help but tell him the truth and all of it even though inside my heart is beating rapidly as all the memories of what happened come rushing in.
“Well, remember I told you I was in an accident? I wasn’t. I just got home and decided I would take a nap. Georgina walked into my room and we started having an argument about how my friends are too good for me.” As I say this I notice Alex’s face flaring with hatred at the mention of Georgina’s name.
“She made me angry and I said some really cruel things to her, she slapped me so hard I kinda flew across the room and fell into my bedside table. A frame that was on the table shattered and a large piece of glass cut me.”
Everyone at the table has looks of hate and disgust on their faces but I know it’s not aimed at me, even though it makes me uneasy I continue. I notice the twins holding their arm rests of the chairs so tight their knuckles are white. I’ve never seen Talon look so angry before but I continue.
“Somehow my friends found me and took me to a doctor, they cleaned me up and their whole family took good care of me.” Their faces start to relax.
“I have three best friends; Jax and Ronny and then my boyfriend Drake.” I hear the boys beside me growl and I pat both of their hands calming them.
“They are basically my family back home like you guys are here. So on Friday night we were watching movies when Jax and Drake got into a fight.” I’m not mentioning the fact that it was about me because I know if I do they will never let me see them again.
“All of a sudden Jax turns into the huge black wolf and then Drake, followed by Ronny’s smaller wolf. I didn’t know what to do it was so scary because they were all fighting and growling. I could hear teeth snapping, I was so frightened and I think I was in shock. I don’t know why but I just had to get out of there, I needed to get somewhere safe, I was just so afraid. I’m not sure why I reacted the way I did because I knew wolves existed since all of you but I couldn’t believe that THEY were keeping it from me, it felt like I didn’t know them and couldn’t trust them so I ran and ran until I couldn’t force my body to push forward any longer.”
Alex has tears running down her face at this point, she is an emotional woman and Johnny comes over to me and pulls me into a hug. They don’t say anything for a while until Johnny says.
“You know you ran pretty far, you were a few kilometers from our territory's border. That’s unusual for a human to run that fast or to have even gotten that far in the state you were in. You definitely have our blood in you. I’ve got a feeling that you are going to turn on your eighteenth birthday and you are going to be one very strong she-wolf!” he says proudly.
“I agree, she is already such a strong human, imagine her as a wolf! You are going to be very powerful my love!” Alex says.
Another week has passed and Alex and Johnny convinced me to stay with them in the meantime, until I figured what I wanted to do about my friends and the situation that occurred a few weeks back. Johnny organized with the local High School that I would be able to be home schooled. Since Alex is a teacher there she helps me with a few of my subjects. The High School has also agreed that when it’s time to write my exams, I will do them at the school.
Every day has been hard for me, even though I miss my friends I have been so confused. I’ve lost a lot of weight since that night due to all the training I have been doing with the boys. Although I do feel stronger every single day, I’m still pretty week against them since they are full blooded wolves but I’m stronger than I was before. They can’t seem to understand how and why I can run so fast and keep my stamina up, after all I’m only a human. However they do think that it’s because I have wolf genes and they’re probably right.
Alex told me that Noelle is trying to find out what’s happening to me, she says that she thinks I could’ve taken some of the power of her ancestors when she channeled them to heal me but she only deals with black magic and she says that the magic that I’m dealing with sounds like pure magic…White Magic.
I haven’t healed anything since Alex, and I haven’t mentioned the fact that once I heal someone I take on the pain that I took from them.
