The Wolf In Me

Lylah's POV

I was in much need of some relaxing time doing what I loved the most. Reading in the library at a time where no one lingered in the corridors, making sure there was perfect silence whilst venturing into a place of the author's imagination. I exhaled as I rested on the comfy sofa, wrapping myself with my favourite blanket I keep in one of the empty cabinets in the library.

As my eyes moved along the lines of the book, just like magic I drifted into a dream I chose to be in, where there was the mightiest sorcerer the world has ever seen. His wife was known to be the most beautiful mermaid that could shift into her human form as she pleases. I spent hours reading until I felt ready to go to bed.

My heart started racing as soon as I stepped out of the wolf pack library, listening to a lot of commotion. A wolf's strong growl echoed from the hall, and it was surely not a friendly one.

I heard a female's scream and felt I should help whoever is in danger. Rushing to the voices I find a few wolves in their animal form lying on the floor all injured.

"Watch out!" Was the last thing I heard before something or someone leapt on my back, taking me to the ground. I managed to turn around to find the she-wolf growling in my face, tearing my skin with its claws. I lost my voice with panic, thinking it was going to kill me, but Keisha, one of the wolves in the pack, came to my rescue, shifting in her wolf and pushing the she-wolf off of me. Whilst trying to run away from it to inform the alpha, I slipped before taking the stairs, breaking my arm. It took me a few breaths before I managed to start walking the long way up to Luka and Mei's bedroom.

"We have a situation alpha," I breathed, looking like I'm a mess, "I don't think that Mei should come, because it's a dangerous problem."

Luka followed me down the stairs to see a werewolf looking straight at us, ready to attack with its teeth exposed and its front lowered down. I didn't dare get close to it again, risking my life and I couldn't use my powers either since I got injured, so all I could do was observe the situation. Melody, being pregnant, also couldn't risk using her magic and so she stopped right next to where I stood, inspecting as her husband went into action looking concerned.

Luka's POV

I scented something unusual from it like it was between pure human and yet werewolf kind, but not belonging to any pack. I didn't want to hurt it, but as I looked around me, I saw about ten of my faithful wolves, lying injured on the floor. I growled at it, exposing my teeth as my eyes turned ice blue. I was still healing from the previous wound, so I tried to avoid turning into my wolf.

The werewolf growled back at me, having no fear whatsoever, ready to rip at my skin. Lylah that was still halfway down the staircase behind me, stopped me from walking further.
