Mykayla
Poor Dustin, I knew this week would be a trial for him, but I could tell he was prepared for the first day.
After the first day, he started to get the hang of it. Although, getting up earlier was still hard for him. My
stress over sending the girls to a physical school calmed down after the third day. By Friday, it all
seemed so normal. The girls were always excited to go to school and just as excited to tell us about the
days that night during dinner. It made me smile to see that they were happy and comfortable here.
They still don’t know about werewolves, and I am not sure when or how I am going to explain that topic.
It’s Friday night, and we are all sitting outside by the pool, watching all the kids play and burn off some
of their energy before bed. We are sitting there talking when I hear a howl. It doesn’t sound like a good
howl. I look over at Kaleb, and he is obviously receiving a mind link from one of the patrols. Suddenly,
the kids are being told to go to their homes.
“I need you and the girls to go inside now,” Dustin demands.
I look at him, and instantly fear rises up. He looks furious, and I actually flinch at his words. I have not
ever heard him talk like this to me before. His eyes are that dark navy colour, and I can tell by his tone
that Demetri is the one talking to me. I yell at the girls to get their attention and tell them to come here. I
walk with them into the house and watch as Dustin, Kaleb, and Nate run towards the wood and shift
into their wolves. I watch until they are too deep into the woods to see.
It’s well after 11:00 pm when I hear a rustle in the trees. I have come back out to watch for them to
come back. I have been sitting out there wrapped in a light blanket for probably an hour when they
come back. It is a surreal sight to see three large wolves walking toward you. I feel a spark of fear rise
in me, and I stand up and take half a step back. I know I have nothing to fear but my flight or fight
response kicks in. As I take the half step back, I hear a deep whimper. I look up and see the three of
them in front of me. I have to admit all three have very handsome wolves. Kaleb’s wolf is a chocolate
brown with a hint of red in it. He still has his hazel eyes. Nate’s wolf is a deep red with a dusting of dark
blonde running throughout the fur. Dustin’s wolf is huge and is a solid Silvery white colour. What makes
his wolf even more striking is his crystal ice blue eyes. Another whimper pulls me out of my thoughts,
and I look at them. I haven’t even realized I have backed up more.
“Sorry guys, I promise I am not scared of any of you. It’s just seeing three massive wolves walk up to
me; I guess my natural human response kicked in. Please don’t be mad at me.” I cry out, apologizing.
At the first sounds of popping bones, I close my eyes. I don’t open them till I feel a hand on my cheek
as sparks shoot down the side of my neck. I open my eyes to see Dustin standing there with a worried
look on his face. I can see Kaleb and Nate standing behind him and off to the side.
“We aren’t mad at you, Mykayla. We do understand that three large wolves walking at you could be
intimidating.” Nate says reassuringly.
I give the three of them a smile and notice that they are wearing basketball shorts. That’s when I
remember Natayla telling me how they keep pieces of clothes in various locations for instances like
this. The three of us walk back into the house and up to our floors. When Dustin and I close and lock
the door to our room. I find myself pulled into a deep kiss. We pull apart, and I sit on the bed. We don’t
lock the store for safety because one of the girls pretty much walked in on us. So it gets locked to
prevent any more of those incidents from happening. Dustin comes out of the bathroom and joins me
on the bed. He lays down with an arm behind his head and the other on my thigh. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“I am pretty sure Demetri told you to stay inside, yet you are sitting outside all alone when I come
back.” He questions.
“Yea, he did, but I got anxious and nervous. I was afraid if I wasn’t out there when you came back, you
might not come back,” I admit nervously.
He pulls me to lay down on his chest, and I go willingly. I know what can happen when packs fight
between them. Thankfully none of the guys looks to have any wounds or bite marks on them.
“One of the patrols caught the scent of rouges close to our border. They figured I would want to come
to check it out. I am sorry if Demetri scared you earlier with his demand. He wants to keep you safe just
like I do.” He tells me.
“ I know; I was just surprised to be spoken to by you in that forcefully demanding way. Plus, the way he
looked at me, I guess it just frightened me.” I tell him.
We lay there a while longer, and I feel him relax and start to snore softly. I was happy that he wasn’t
one of those loud snorers. I lay there cuddled up next to him and thought about the rouges. I wonder
what they are doing around the borders. I soon start to drift off to dreamland.
