A taste of what you are

The drive home is filled with silence that i can even hear my own steady heartbeat,dad keeps giving me the worried look.

I only ever had one thought when i was sitting on that boulder,and that thought scared me.

I've heard myths and awful tales of these creatures over the years.

Aunt Caroline,my mothers sister use to tell me of how dangerous they were,and to think that I may be bounded to one as my mate really has me questioning my sanity.

Mom always told me I was destined for greater things but what she did not bother to warn me was that I could end up in this situation,a situation that questions what I am.

“Lory",my step mother finally Voices out.

I snap outta my train of confusion and direct my attention to her.

“Look,I know I'm not your mom and I'd never try to take her place or measure up to her.

But if you ever need anyone to talk to,I'm always ready to listen".

I nod at her acknowledging her offer and gaze out the window.

She's right,no one can ever take my mother's place for me,and that makes airing out my frustrations and confusions quite difficult.

As soon as our car comes to a halt In front of our house I quickly grab my bag back and head upstairs to my room,all I need right now is a little peace and quiet and some time to set my trail of thoughts and anxiety right.

The heat and power that radiated off him was unbearable,I was stuck in-between running towards him or away from him.

I've never been confused about anything in my entire 18 years of existence.I've always been a though girl, at least that's what mom used to tell me,and I believed her.That was until today.

It's been two hours since our arrival home,I've been sitting by the window contemplating everything that happened and still nothing makes sense.

So what if he was a lyken?,I mean I'm not a liken and neither am I a werewolf so what am I?

I dig high and low and deep down my memory lane hoping to find some scrap of evidence but still nothing makes sense.

He's Point Of View;

This was all dad's idea to go for a picnic at the beach,he said it would be a great opportunity for us to pick up from where we left off as a family.

All our lives we've been moving,I cant remember ever finishing a semester in any school,I have spent all my life attending to the queens commands ever since I graduated top of my class back in Orocole.My family have served the Queen for almost a hundred generations of werewolves .It's our job in the higher hierarchy to keep the peace and justice amongst all our inferiors,especially the werewolves.

We barely spend at least a month together as a family in an entire year,that is until my little sister Nita found out about me on her third birthday,and ever since she'd take any opportunity to drag me on a flight across the ocean to come visit her.

Our last family hide out was sabotaged by some rogues back at a distant forest out in Oracle,we are the only one's with the type of information that if accidentally fall on the wrong hands can be used to wipe down all the existing wolf packs around the world.

We've long ago taken our own walks of life in different paths but due to my little sisters persistence,we've changed our strategy and have chosen Sandane bay as our secret hide out this year.It's an exclusive spot located in a province that is at the tip of the country Patuan and according to my detailed analysis the province is somehow off the grid due to some natural barriers which are complicated to truly understand.

Nita drags me out of bed screaming ,"beach day,beach day Isiah,its beach day wake up". I mentally slap myself for forgetting as I slowly get up chuckling at her as she runs off out my room and down the stairs.

The song "True colors "is on full blast with Nita singing at the top of her lungs as we take the long drive to the beach,normally I'd shut it down but looking at my three year old small sisters big toothy smile as she sings cutely mispronouncing the words is enough for me to not complain.

My jeep comes to a halt as we pull up at the beach,it's a lovely bright lit sunny day,the beach is for some reason not packed today just the perfect kinda quite setting for a family outing.

I stare out at the horizon spotting some seagulls fly around what seems to be a school of fish,I'm presuming Tuna's fighting far out in the distance.

Nita starts squirming and pointing out mumbling friends as she picks up her bucket full of toys and shovel,I reach out to stop her but I'm late as she has already hopped out the car and is running quickly towards some strangers.

I quickly sit up trying to see if I can recognize them,we just moved here so we can't trust anybody yet.I over hear Nita start speaking to a little boy and a girl,surprisingly Nita seems to know the little boy from school.

The conversation between Nita and the little boy flows as they begin building sand castles but as if the girl sensed my presence her tinted brown eyes divert towards my direction.

I'm struck by lightning for the third time this week,it's like every simple encounter with her gets intense,I know for a fact she can't see me due to the dark glasses of my jeep but I fear if she does I'd be a melted pool of emotions under those orbs of brown beauty.

caramel skin toned to the sun,a goddess of perfection I'd say and as if all of that wasn't enough the moon goddess blessed her with waves of rosy red hair a great way to have me hooked and locked under her gorgeous spell for eternity.

I felt her presence the moment I set foot in this town,My erasthai.

it feels as though I've searched for a life time to find her.I've been running from the pull for the past two weeks I've been in town,running off at day and coming in late at night to avoid accidentally bumping into her.I'm afraid of the outcome,what if she rejects me,I'd lose control of my Lyken.

I sit there stuck in a trance digesting all that goodness,continuous chills of excitement mixed with fear run up and down my body,I've never felt this way before and it scares me.
