My vision cleared and I saw a black wolf come into the view.
The smoke clouded my thoughts, my mind, my senses. It pawed at my thigh but I still didn't give it attention.
It began another approach by sticking its tail in my face, after a while it stopped, stepped back a little, sat up straight and started howling.... It stopped, looked at me but I wasn't looking at him. Then it started whining with his ears down, its eyes looked very misty, like the moon itself.
"I've always wanted to be a gymnast ya know? It perked one of his ears at my confession, even I didn't know why I said that out loud.
"Come here" I patted my thigh. It came closer to me and rested his head on my thighs. And yeah I think it's a male.
I scratched behind his ears which he seems to be loving by the way.
"I think I will name you Misty, so tell me, are you also a werewolf or just a normal wolf ? I asked but he didn't answer. His eyes were closed and he looked very relaxed . okay then.
I woke up from one of my nightmares soaked in my own sweat. "How did I end up on the bed?"
"Ivan brought you in .... In his arms". Honey looks away from my window to stare at me with an unknown emotion in his eyes.
Ivan??
What about the wolf ? I don't remember seeing Ivan in that mystic forest .
"Come out..... You need to eat" Honey said to me, avoiding my questioning gaze. We stepped into the kitchen and I met Anna eating while smiling at her phone. The smile became broader when she saw me and I took a seat opposite her.
"How are you doing? Did you enjoy your walk... It's like something interesting happened" she said, wiggling her brows.
" if you're talking about the weird midnight forest I walked into .....yeah" I answered. " something's not clear to me ... How did Ivan bring me home?? I asked. Honey averted his eyes, cleaning his hands on a towel.
"Well Ivan is a white wolf which is why he has special abilities and it includes switching his color from white to any other color.... For protection" she said as she kept smiling at her phone. Wait up ! Ivan was the weird funny wolf that desperately needed my attention... I choose not to believe this.
"I don't believe this .... The guy hates my ass. Are you sure he wasn't high on something? I asked her again right before Honey served me my spaghetti. Took you long enough.
"Well Ivan is not really in control of what his wolf does most of the time and he probably didn't want to get on Silvia's bad side so he carried you back home" Chad/honey said to me. I tasted my spaghetti ,it's soo good.
"Mother said never to be surprised" I said coolly and continued eating my spaghetti. " So why the hell did he reject his mate anyway? I asked out of curiosity.
" Well Sasha was kind of the pack slut, she dated a lot of our pack soldiers, she was busy making out with one of them when Ivan felt the sparks and caught them in the act. That kinda angered his wolf as well as the vampiric side of him and he rejected her immediately. Anna said as she finally put down her phone.
" Sasha left the pack because of the pain inflicted on her by her ex-mate, but she's now a popular model in New York. She's changed ... I hope " Chad said. Suddenly a Vogue magazine appeared right in front of me and I saw an almost naked female with green eyes on the front page of the magazine and I scrunched my face in disgust.
" Where's Silvia ? I need to talk to her" I asked. Anna told me to check her office and I left but not before I commented on Honey's cooking.
I got to Silvia's office but I didn't even knock before she told me to come in.
I entered and saw her talking seriously with Ivan but stopped when she saw me and smiled. Ivan and I shared a look before I looked away. He looks out of it.
"Have a seat dear" she motioned to the seat next to Ivan. I reluctantly sat next to him ignoring his piercing gaze on me. Weird. I looked at Silvia waiting for her to say something.

Few minutes later
" Don't you have something to tell me?" I asked her, breaking the awkward silence.
" Well, I was expecting you to ask me something, " she replied coolly.
Okay weird.
" I want to know why my mum erased my memories.... What is she protecting me from? Am I a threat or something? I asked calmly but deep down I'm afraid of her answer.
She takes her time as she places her chin on her entwined knuckles on the table.
"Am sorry Snow, I don't really know what you are or what she's protecting you from, but that doesn't mean we are not trying. When we visit the pack house, you and Ivan can do some research in our library" she replied. And the room suddenly became chilly.
'now I know why he was staring, dammit'
Oh ! No!....
Snow❤>
Ivan left the room first and I followed but didn't expect to find him waiting... I tried walking past him.
Tried.
He pulled me by my arm annnnnnd…. I'm inside my room.
Show off.
" Is there something you wanna say to me," I asked as I sat on the window pane. Pulled my Vape out but before I could put it in my mouth, it disappeared from my hand.
looked over to Ivan and found it in his hands.
He made it float in the air before it disappeared.
"Don't do that when I'm here"
If he thinks he can control me, he's damn wrong. I looked straight into his blue eyes, pulled another vape and placed it in my mouth. His smug expression changed and he speed walked to where I sat, I could feel his intense gaze and his hot breath on my skin. My eyes peered up at him, blew the smoke into his face and smirked.
"You disgust me," he seethed to my face.
I laughed dryly
"The feeling is mutual," broke the gaze and stared at the view outside.
"When we get to the pack you will need to act proper and decent. You will be on your best behavior and you'll interact with members of the pack, we don't want them thinking you're a rogue, as much as I would like you to get mauled by my warriors Mum thinks you're.... Special" he scoffed at the last part.
I'm certainly not going to follow any of his rules. I nodded anyway and kept vaping.
His weight shifted from one foot to the other, he pulled out a necklace with a swirling moon pendant.
"Take this it helps chasing away nightmares "
I don't know how he knew about my nightmares or why he thinks I'm going to accept the necklace.
"I used to have hideous nightmares about turning into a monster and kil-,"
He stopped for a second and threw it on my bed. "If you don't need it, feel free to dispose it. I already did what mum ordered me to do" he said before leaving the room.
Of course Silvia ordered him to give me the necklace. I almost thought he actually cared. Whatever.
