The Wolf In Me

Part 2 The strongest pack

Steph's POV

There I was growling at the scientists showing my sharp teeth to them, with Mason right behind me tucking at my fur. My mind was set to protect the child with my life, but I didn't have as much experience in a battle as the other wolves, so I wanted Jake to be by my side.

"You think you scare me with those teeth? I have come to know everything about your kind. How you feed, how you breathe, how you fight. Whatever you do, I know it. I know your body and your soul. You see, as a scientist, we examine not just the mind and body, but also the way of living, your favourite everything. We study it all until we feel like we became one with our study subject," Biorn said grinning madly at me.

"You are never one of us," the enchantress said from behind me, with her hand already warmed up and ready to blow the scientists down.

She had like a golden energy ball hovering between the palms of her hands which was only visible to the supernatural kind. Mankind lacks such a vision as they are known as the weakest kind of all. I watched Biorn's eyes widen for a moment, then he started to laugh hysterically. Anger has had consumed me enough for my vision to become blurry as my wolf suddenly found her way to leap over Biorn's chest.

"Ha! You fool," he yelled, pushing a knife into my ribs.

My body became still as a whine of pain escaped me. Flashes of my past started to haunt me as I was pushed down on the wet, cold soil of the forest, allowing Biorn to free himself from my wolf's heavyweight. My body turned back into human form, naked and drenched with both rainwater and thick blood seeping out of my left rib.

As I grew weaker, feeling my soul slowly escaping my body, I started to get images of my late father whom I regretted to have ever wished to have good memories of. As his daughter, I yearned for his love in return but all I could remember was him beating both my mother and myself and being locked up like we were his prisoners, coming and going as he pleased.

His true mate had died before my mother fell in love with such a monstrous and arrogant being, thinking he was the one. They had me when she was only eighteen years old, twelve years younger than him. So young, innocent and gentle as her beauty was beyond compare, yet her face was drenched in fear and sorrow. Her death was his fault and my hate for him drew me to kill him in my head every night before I close my eyes to sleep.

Lucky for me it was a snake bite that brought him down to his knees, as he blood-drenched in its venom, he took his last breath as he was unlocking my bedroom door, hoping I go call for help. I remember myself running over his dead body, escaping, and for the first time I looked at a tree, admiring its beautiful green leaves and massive body, experiencing true freedom. Taking in a deep breath, I scented the freshness of the forest, admiring everything around me. My only problem was that I didn't know how to survive, how to hunt for food, how to find water and shelter for my own, so I rushed, hiding in a bush until Mei spotted me hours later hungry, thirsty and all dirty.
