"shouts cries pain darkness and searing pain. A little voice in the dark."
The same dream, the same voice every night. It haunted my nights and sometimes days. I discussed it with my parents and also the pack seer but none had any answers to my satisfaction. They didn't know what the dream meant.
Ever since I got my wolf I have been having this dream. Its the same dream over and over again.
I woke up unable to sleep anymore and started for the day. It was the first day of my final year of school. I was happy that I would be graduating soon but dreaded the part that comes after, I was going to take over from Dad. I had to complete my alpha training now as an added bonus.
I was ready ahead of time so I went down to the kitchen and prepared myself breakfast. Yes I know how to cook my mom made it her goal to teach me and my sister to take care of ourselves and not depend on others for simple things such as food and stuff.
Done with my breakfast and still time to while away I tune myself to watch the new on television. "Good Morning early bird", my mom walked in with dad following close behind.
"Good Morning mom and dad", I called form the living room.
Ryan and Olivia Waters, yes my parents, the current Alpha and Luna of the bluemoon pack. They were the perfect example and epitome of love and kindness and patience. They took care of the pack and its members to the extent that they knew each family and their whereabouts well. I didn't know if I could ever live upto them, but one can always hope right.
"so...another sleepless night?",questioned dad, coming into the living room with his newspaper and coffee. "yeah. I just couldn't sleep after. so yep".
"oh kiddo it's going to be ok. you will understand soon enough what it is about, just wait nad hold on. don't lose hope ok", my mom quipped form the kitchen.
i just shook my head to her words, each day without finding my mate and stuck in this repeat of a dream everyday, my hope was dwindling and so was enthusiasm for life.
There is a saying in our side, werewolves i mean, especially bluemoon pack, if you don't find your mate the reason for your life within the 2yrs of you getting your wolf, your wolf and you will go crazy and be a danger to the pack. The pack elders will then have to shun you out as rogue but that would endanger other packs and lives, and hence they resort to the most extreme measure of ending such lives. Our pack doesn't believe in just accepting someone other than their mate.
yep its ironic as it never stopped Julia from incriminating my boundaries, influence of her father I guess.
"yes I hope so too mom, i hope so too", i lulled back after a minute of pondering in my thoughts.
"Hey bro you up and ready?", Bruce mind-linked me over the pack link. Yes pack member can mind-link each other.
"Yep. Wazzup?" I already expected that he would need a ride since his car was down for some repair since a week now. he and my sister had their own cabin close to the pack house where the alpha family lived.
"I need a ride bro" "like he had to spell it for you, mighty alpha", snickered my sister.
"Riya!!, why do you always butt in when we talk". "whatever. get your ass here quick and spritely!!"
"you don't order me around missy" "or what?"
"comeon guys!!! would you stop it. Al please pick us up", Bruce solved the issue.
"yes yes coming", I linked him back.
"bye mom, dad. Leaving to pick the brat up and her mate", i shouted running out of the house.
"Allan!!!", shouted my mom from the kitchen I did not et to hear her words, as I was already in my camaro and off to Bruce's house.
"Hey man!!!", we did a man hug kinda thing, while Riya locked the house up.
"let's get on with it. Time for school. You lovers can finish it later", Riya exaggerated.
"what's with her, what's got her panties in a twist today", I whispered to Bruce.
"don't know man. I guess its that time of the month not sure".
Giving up we all got into my ride and started to roll out of our pack lands, when suddenly the shrill sound of my ringtone rang out. I picked up my mobile and was answered by the screeching tone of the 'leech' herself.
"hey baby!! could you please do me a big favor?" "what is it Julia?", I answered curtly. She was getting on my nerves.
"umm....I need a ride. pick me up. I just got my nails done yesterday and I don't want to break them by driving." urgh what a, "yep sure. be there in a few", I said and cut the call.
"what you are going to get that slut now!!! Am not staying where she is. You better think this Al."
"Enough Ri, I don't need this in the morning alrite. I don;t know what's up with you but just leave me be. i said am picking her up and that's it."
"hmmph."
Silence followed and I had to go all the way to the border almost to get that leech and we would have got late if not for my fast driving. We got to school just in time, without any further bickering from both the girls, but it was over in the burst of a bubble.
"thank you baby. could you hold my bag for me and walk me to my class?"
"like what your plastic hands and legs would break off if you held them?", retorted Riya.
I pinched my temples and looked at Riya, giving her a glare to just shut up. Then turned to Julia and told her to get one of her minions to do it for her. She tried to do the puppy dog eyes and puff out her lower lip, trying to be cute. I wrinkled my nose at her antics.
"do that any more and you might need more cutting and plastic to get them back in right shape", blabbed Riya nonchalantly.
"Baby see how I am being treated in front of you. Won't you do anything?", by this time her minions had come and got her things. "Just leave Julia. Riya!!!", i gave her a fair warning.
ughh, please let the remainder of the day just go smooth i prayed to the moon goddess.
