CHAPTER THREE

CHAPTER THREE

*VICTOR*

I couldn't believe my nose when I caught her scent, I know she schools here but I didn't imagine I'll find her on my first day here. It's been three years, three torturous years since I first caught her scent in the woods, my mate. Looking at her as she tried to pick up my scattered books now, she still smell as wonderful as ever, it was the same scent I smell three years ago when she got attacked by those wolves. The way she look into my eyes shocked, I know she's connecting me with the wolf she saw, but there's no way she'll put the piece together, humans find it hard to accept the what's beyond their understanding. The way she walks silently beside me right now is something I didn't think possible so soon, I relish in the moment.

I was deep into the wolves that particular day when I heard the howl of the wolves, its too loud to be normal wolves besides, there are no wolves in Nigeria. It was my first time in Nigeria but even I know that much, I decided to go and see what was going on, as I got closer to them, I caught on to the smell that stuck itself on my mind till today. I remember how excited my wolf got that day and how happily he screamed MATE in my mind, I raced faster and faster to see where the scent was coming from thinking it might have been one of the wolves only for me to be met with a little human girl who looked scared out of her mind. There are about three wolves snarling angrily at her, they must have been invaded by her but I doubt she did it on purpose. I smelt some humans few metres away, they seem to be running away, and she must have been one of them.

I quickly jumped in front of her to save her from them, I shoved the one that was already making its way to her down and gave the rest of them a big snarl, they better know what's good for them or I won't hesitate to fight them. They took the hint and ran off, they must have been shocked since they didn't hear me coming. I turned my head to look at her and I could see she's mesmerize by my wolf, that made my wolf happy, although I want to stay with her, I know she can't be ready for what's coming since she's human and besides I have to chase off those wolves so she can escape.

I am a werewolf, so are those wolves, I can tell from how big they are, they might have been pack warriors. Werewolves have what we call packs, and each packs has an Alpha who is the head, the Beta, who is the second in command, a Delta, who is the head of the pack warriors, a gammas, who are the top pack warriors although not as strong as Alpha and Beta. An Omega, who take care of the Alpha's house, they are considered the weakest in the pack, there are also pack warriors, pack doctors and pack members. A Luna is an Alpha's mate, she's like the pack's queen but doesn't become the queen until she has been recognised by the Alpha

A werewolf mate is their soul mate, they are their other half that was fated to them by the Moon goddess, and a werewolf is able to recognize their mate once they clock eighteen. The moon goddess is the believed creator of the werewolves and their guidance.

This beautiful girl right now is my mate, it took a lot of self-control to leave her the last time. If I didn't have a lot of reasons to stay away back then, I would have come to visit her and explain everything to her by now but it would have been too dangerous, even now isn't safe but I can't wait any longer, I have to see her, feel her. She's putting on a long blue jean trousers and a white inner top with a blue jean jacket to match with a white canvas, she looks simple yet elegant. I can tell she's not the kind of girl that use too much time behind the mirror cuz she's just putting on a casual makeup.

As we got to the hall, I got called over by Femi, my best friend of three years. He's the first friend I made when I got to school, luckily we are in the same department. Daisy and I said our goodbye, it was hard saying bye but I know she'll be in the hall and I'll have my eyes on her. She sat in the front roll with her friends, just a few seats away from me, I can see her clearly from here which is good. Her scent is driving me mad, I want to go to her badly but I can't be too interested, no one knows what I really am. It sucks, there are times when I want to tell Femi just to know how he'll take it but I decided against it. Besides, I'm used to people not knowing, it's part of what being a rouge's all about.

By the way, a rouge is a wolf that isn't part of a pack, they don't want to be a part of the packs rule or under any alpha, so they separate themselves from any pack. Being a rouge isn't easy, since it means you have to be responsible for yourself. Just as humans and animals hunts each other, so does werewolves. Each packs try to expand their territories by attacking lesser packs and taking their member hostage then later adding them to the pack. Rouges are mostly victims of such weaker packs and so they bear grudges with stronger packs who partake in such behaviours, this made them cruel and vengeful. They keep attacking packs whether the packs are innocent or not, they want everyone to feel their pain, these made every packs deem them vicious wolves and they are being hunted down.

Although not all rouges are like that, there is no particular way to distinguish us, so all rouges are being hunted. Since rouges are not part of a pack, they smell different from a normal wolves, so they are easily identified by other werewolves. In a pack, there are links that connects each pack members to each other and make them recognizable, this do not exist in rouges since they have no pack and rouges do not come together.

My father was a victim of a pack assault, he was able to escape and became a rouge. He decided to live among the humans instead, where he met my mother who came abroad to study, she wasn't his mate but they fell in love none the less. Father lost his mate to the pack's attack and since he was in depression when he met my mother who helped him through it. He was able to come out of it and fell in love with my mother, although he tried to keep her away by telling her his secret but she surprised him by accepting him as he is.

I was born a Blood Wolf.
