The Wolf In Me

Part 1 Remembering everything

Luka's POV

I opened my eyes to see Mei's beautiful face sound asleep on the chair next to my bed. She had her head close to my arm, resting it at the corner of the bed. I lifted my hand to my head still feeling the faint pain. I felt like I was betrayed by my mother.

But I knew she tried to keep me safe. That was her intention. I sighed and sat down on the bed waking up Mei as soon as I moved up. She inhaled strongly whilst stretching, then with a yawn she lifted her head. She glanced at the clock on my bedside table, then turned to look at me.

"Nice bedroom," she said smiling. I smiled back but I said nothing. "Are you ok Luka?" She asked looking at me.

I nodded and looked straight opposite my bed. There was my favourite photo with my dad as we held a trophy that belonged to his favourite soccer team. My eyes filled with tears as I now remembered everything. My dad's great memories came back. We used to run the hills and mountains together and trained the pack every morning before breakfast. My mother was human but dad fell in love with her after losing his mate during a fight between vampires and wolves.

It took him a while to heal but then he met my mother whilst he was jogging. She was sitting down on a bench with her long brown hair moving softly with the wind. She was looking at the sea quietly when she was interrupted by my dad.

"Hi. Sorry to interrupt. By any chance are you a local?" He asked trying to start a conversation.

She smiled and nodded.

"I am trying to find a place called peppermint. Do you know where it is?" He asked with a cheeky grin.

That was the first time they walked together and they kept on chatting till they reached the bar.

"Thank you, miss...." he stopped and waited for her to give him her name.

"Korine," she said holding her arms out for a handshake.

The next day he was jogging again in the hopes of finding her in the same spot and sure enough, she was there waving at him from far away. They married after a year and I was born nine months after their wedding.

I went downstairs to the kitchen where I found my mother cooking breakfast for everyone.

"Morning," she said.

I didn't say anything still pissed off. She placed an empty plate in front of me then turned to get the pan off the cooker.

"Good morning miss Garries," Mei said whilst pulling the chair next to me to sit down.

"Good morning sweety," my mum said looking at her.

Mei motioned with her eyes as if to tell mum something. I looked up and watched mum placing a plate in front
