The Wolf In Me

"I want every wolf to help out in the search for my son. We cannot rest until he is found! He is your future alpha and we can't waste any time!"

I was shouting at the top of my lungs as my face felt like it was burning with anxiety and rage. I already imagined all the worst things that could happen in my head and my body was shaking. My mind was not quite thinking clearly, yet it was a must that I gather myself and focus to find him quickly.

As much as I tried hard to fight against shifting into my wolf, Simba was eager to release itself and take the lead, but my body would not make it if I shifted. My wound was too deep and still fresh.

"Hey, hey, Luka!" I heard someone say from my side. All I could hear was muffled voices and a whistling sound that was getting stronger in my ears. My vision was also getting blurry and the light was too much to handle

"Turn it off, turn off the lights," I mumbled, closing my eyes with my right arm.

"Luka!" Someone screamed at me again.

This time I was shaken out of my insanity and as my eyes started to focus I realised that it was Jake, trying hard to help me get myself together.

"Listen, here! Sit down for a moment alpha and concentrate."

I walked a few steps backwards and sat down roughly on an old cushioned chair, brushing my fingers against my beard in frustration.

"Look at me alpha!" He said firmly, yet gently, trying to balance himself between doing the duty of a beta, yet not exceeding his status.

My eyes turned to look at his as I squeezed my hands firmly against the chair's armrest, feeling my wolf on the verge of winning. As I was breathing heavily, Jake lowered himself down to my level and tried to speak to me in the hopes of calming me down.

"Listen, Luka, I need you to stay here and rest."

"No!" I yelled in frustration, not wanting to be left behind, almost standing back up from the chair.

"No, listen! Just listen, Luka!" He screamed back, pushing me back on the chair.
