The Wolf In Me

Part 1 The house I grew up in

My eyes stared at the empty entrance hall that once was filled with joy, love, friends and family. The hall resembles that beauty and the beast hall where they danced for the first time together. It was as wide as I remember it but it looked bigger as it felt empty.

Darkness consumed it as the closed curtains stopped the light from entering. Mei started to open them up and with the sun coming in I could now see all the details. The brown hardwood floors looked grey with all the dirt on them.

Spider webs all over, dust everywhere vases broken and trashed on the floor.

I felt a tear running down my cheeks. I remember the last day like it happened yesterday.

"Now, now darling. Don't be sad," She said wrapping her arms around my waist. "We are here to fix what has been broken." I looked at her with sad eyes.

"This is what my father has built and what my mother managed to break. Can't you see what damage all this time did? How can I forgive her? This breaks my heart."

Mei looked at me with motivation.

"Look at me Luka! Look at me! listen, you are an alpha. Since I am lucky enough to be your mate, I am automatically the luna of the pack. Together we can manage to conquer and salvage everything. Let us start from here."

She looked at the surroundings, then continued to talk.

"When we finish cleaning everything we will bring the pack back to this house. We give them chores like before and we teach them to survive. The vampires have endangered our species so much especially around these parts and we need to be strong and ready for when they return this coming winter."

I looked at her as she reminded me of where it all began.

"Vampires," I mumbled. "I'm ready Luna! I'm ready!" Now I felt like I did have a duty after all.

It was time to get my hands dirty literally to do what my father waited for me to do all these years.

The day the doors of this beautiful place were shut closed was the day the vampires attacked us. Everybody fled except my mum, dad and me. We hid until we were sure that all the vampires were gone. Dad did not want to risk our lives since he was not expecting such an attack. The pack was not strong enough to fight and so fleeing was an order so that dad would be able to save the rest.

"Shhh, quiet. Stay here, I am going to check on the situation and come back for you," Dad said quietly.
