Chapter 61
1503words
I will tell you a story that took place a few years ago, before all tragedy took place,
Before someone was left scarred her whole life. There was a young girl, who lived normally and happy without any feeling of sorrow. She didn't had any dreams, she was clumsy yet always wanted to have fun. So she was the type to always get scolded by her parents.
But who could blame her? She was a young werewolf who wanted to roam around the lands freely, feeling the sense of freedom their species has.
Her happiness was adventure.
Going places after another,
Nothing seemed more important to her.
{"Jason! Where is Dad going today?"} She quietly asks her brother, Jason.
{"Dad will be going on a meeting with the Stone Pack."} He smiles warmly to her.
Cheerful and excited, Christal needed the feeling to come to Stone Pack since she heard about many things about it before. {"Can i come to?! Please please!"}
{"You'll probably just wander around there would you?"} Jason chuckles.
Christal pouts. {"But i heard there really is where dandelions grow well! Where you could see it nowhere but there.."}
{"Hmm then shall i come to?"}
She immediately lightens up and hugs her brother with Delight. {"Thank you!"}
And then the two siblings decided to come with their father, leaving the pack house shortly after a few hours. Christal was excited to go to Stone Pack because she knew she would experience yet another land to wander with, she smiles playfully.
She felt it took longer than it looked but still the young teenager couldn't resist the feeling of satisfaction when her shoes touched the soil of stone pack.
She squealed quietly next to her brother.
{"Don't try to wander off to many places."} Their father kisses both of them in the forehead before going away.
Jason just followed along while her sister followed the tracks of the dandelions playfully, sometimes picking some of it and pouring it in mid air, acting like a kid but it was really like her from the start.
{"You're almost at the time where you're gonna meet your werewolf, when will you stop being childish?"} Jason laughs at her.
{"Whatever! You just don't know how freedom feels!"} She says sticking her tongue out. But immediately regretted saying so because she knew well how he was kept from doing personal things just because he was next line to Alpha.
Meaning more responsibilities,
And no freedom at all.
{"I didn't mean-"}
{"It's fine."} He smiles, hiding the painful truth about his freedom.
The day went on while they wandered within the border lines of Stone Pack, even if they were from another pack, stone pack already informed others that they will be coming with more companions.
{"Wow.. "} she says astonished, it was still freshly watered. ",,.."
{"Well you're prettier in my opinion."} A voice of a boy.
Shocked and scared at the moment, Christal jumps from shock and ran away from that voice, stopping when she reached a certain distance. She turns her head towards the voice and located the young boy with a large gardener scissors in his hands.
She comes closer, immediately realizing that this boy was a certain Human!
{"What the? You're human!"} She points a finger at him. {"Humans aren't supposed to be here!"}
The boy just lightly chuckles. "You have a strong sense of smell."
{"Of course! I am an alpha's daughter."} She proudly says. {"I didn't know that Stone Pack lets a human reside in their pack."} She says confused.
{"I am the only human here."}
{"What? Isn't that kinda lonely."} She rolls her eyes. {"Well i don't really care if you're human or any other being anything but not a witch!"}
He smiles warmly. {"Is that so? What's your name?"}
{"Why should i tell you? I don't tell anything to strangers."} She sticks her tongue out.
{"Then i'll start."} He sighs. {"My name is Charles, you?"}
She smiles.
As she said, Christal didn't care about him being a human, she just needed someone at the moment that's why she talked with a stranger all day in that garden, but as times go by. She felt that she wanted to know more about him, than she thought she could.
Nobody knew about her secret, well she referred to it as a secret since after she came back to BlueStone Pack she couldn't take her mind off the boy he met at the garden, the human that she was slightly interested with. She would try to go back to stone pack whenever there was pack business, but as time goes by, their time runs out.
Christal and Charles was sitting just beside flowers inside the Garden once again, and they talked warmly at each other.
{"Why are you always here? Don't you feel kinda lonely?"} Christal wondered.
Just like how their surroundings were quiet, Charles mood became sync with it, he felt distance and sad all of a sudden. {"It's because i'm human."}
{"Who keeps you here?"} She asks once again, but it was no use, Charles didn't reply no more and it was that time pf the day where they would part ways again.
She felt sad.
{"Dad when will we come back here?"}
She wanted to be with the human everytime as time passed by, she would always feel excited and flushed whenever she would go visit him in the garden. Visits per month doesn't satisfy her anymore, she felt greedy.
{"Let's talk later."} He replies, leaving her once again at the door of the BlueStone pack house.
She felt a bit of an anger but just shrugged it off, her dad was a busy man after all. Thankfully her brother was on sight making her go there in full speed, she smiled at him. {"Hey do you know when we'll come back to BlueStone?"}
{"Why? You've been going there with Dad ever since right? What're you up to."} He raised an eyebrow.
{"Just tell me!"}
He sighs. "Do you even know the reason why Dad's been going there?"
Now that she thought about it, she never knew actually, she thought her Dad just needed to spend sometime to talk about business but it was weird that he would go there frequently than she thought he would be.
She shook her head.
{"I'm not supposed to tell you this but we're in a very critical situation got that? Don't cause a stir that'll ruin BlueStone." He pats her head. "You've been meeting up with somebody there right?"}
Her face flushed red.
{"Ohhh, guessed right then."} Her brother laughs. {"If it's a boy i want to meet him."} His face stern.
{"No way!"}
{"This brother need to teach him a lesson! How dare he meet with my sister secretly without anyone knowing!"}
{"Ugh! Whatever."} Christal laughs, her brother playfully getting along with her.
But just like any other day, she didn't want to feel being separated from him for a month once again and had the idea of sneaking out at night to go to Stone Pack. A stubborn and girl she was, but who to judge?
From the looks of it, she already fell in love with the human.
As she passes to borderlines of Stone Pack, she didn't know that trespassing would cause her trouble. The Stone Pack security was already alarmed when she passed the borderlines, but because she was known by few in Stone Pack, they kept quiet and followed the teenager secretly.
{"Hello? Charles!"} She called out once she entered the garden. The night covered the Garden, thankfully she had night visions to help her see at night.
Charles appears out of nowhere with a cold face.
{"I-I'm sorry if i came in a very late time but-"} she stopped, something was strange and she could smell it. There was something bothering her about his smell, he smelled like a werewolf!
{So you already figured it out?"} He says in a blank face. {"I'm not Charles."}
But their face was so similar even their body type and everything. She only realized that Charles had a twin brother if she's not mistaken, but how can his brother be a werewolf? She thought desperately.
{"Where is he?"} She growled at him.
{"I've heard alot about you from him, you should go if you don't want to get hurt."}
{"WHERE IS HE?!"}
{"You're no good for him whoever you are, no one is."} He growled back.
she didn't have any idea what he was talking about but there was one thing she came for and she won't back down till she saw him in his own eyes, this time a human for sure.
{"I just need to see him once."} She pushed all the anger aside and pleaded.
{"You like him that much?"}
Christal blushed red. {"W-What're you saying?!"}
{"Follow me then."} He says, Christal followed him as they strolled through the Garden, she knew that he'll be leading her to him so he followed quietly.
