His wolf's shouts in his head as well as the overwhelming sweet scent that flooded his senses almost knocked him off his feet. It was a feeling foreign to him but it cosumed him. He had no idea when he transformed to his wolf self and was already racing to the direction of the scent before he realized what he was doing. His realisation did nothing to slow him down as he just kept running. He didn't understand what was going on all he knew was his mate was here in this measly human town.
His. Mate.
He watched her as she walked into a place he didn't know what it was called as in the human town, he read on the entrance "gymnastics and body fitness training"
"What is she doing here?" He entered and followed her but she didn't notice anyone there.
He sat down and studied all that was going on, he didn't want to just walk up to a stranger so he stared at her from the distance.
Mira started off with jugging to warm up herself as she settled into the atmosphere at the gym. Her instructor directed her on different work out she would be doing for the hour and she set her mind in accomplishing them even if she felt like giving up countless times, something at the back of her mind kept pushing her to do it, she carried weights to exercise her arms, she used the bicycle machine that rides on one point to exercise her legs. After the hour elapsed and laid flat on the floor breathing like she just ran a marathon.
"They are always lazy" Alex muttered to himself
He was having alot of doubt because he haven't gone close enough, so he decided to keep following her until he can get close and confirm. His wolf told him but he refused to believe because of the dislike he had for humans.
Mira left the gym after taking a few minutes of rest on the floor, she walked back home and felt so accomplished for the day, she recalled her section with Mrs Judy after school today and it gave her a lot of strength to put in what she was trying to become.
"Good afternoon Mrs Judy" she greeted as she entered the old lady office
"Welcome darling, I'm so glad you're still keeping up with the spirit you left here with yesterday" Mrs Judy complimented her and she took a seat
"You're the best" Mira said and took a seat too
"No dear, you're the best" Mrs Judy chuckled at the girls enthusiasm for the section today "let's begin, how do you feel after school today?" Miss Judy asked
"I didn't get any attention from anyone today, guess I was lucky. Not having attention is better than having it and them using it to bully me" she shrugged
"That's a bit of a good news" Mrs Judy said
"Yes, I guess so" Mira replied
"Now at least your mind is a peace, so we will be talking about your willingness to let go of the hurtful experiences that happened in the past" Mr Judy stated
"That's going to be really difficult" Mira said honestly
"You can start by changing that and saying it will be easy, that's your first step to obtaining your goal" Mrs Judy explained
"I'm sorry" Mira said sadly
"No dear, I'm not offended" Mrs Judy corrected
"Oh, okay?" Mira said unsure
"Let's take it bit by bit" Mrs Judy said and Mira nodded slowly
"Now you'll have to change your mindset first about it being difficult and that it is going to be easy for you to leave all your bad experiences in the past behind so that it won't draw back your zeal on what you want to because " Mrs Judy said
"Okay, I understand ma'am." Mira nodded "it will be easy for me to leave the bad experiences I had in the past behind and move on" Mira said and took in a huge amount of breath to accept her newly found believe
"Now we're talking" Mrs Judy sent her a warm smile and Mira returned it with a small smile on her lips
"Next, one by one you are going to tell yourself that nothing is going to hurt you again, you're going to think deep and mention all what have been said that made you cry and tell you're self that it won't affect you ever again" Mrs Judy said
Mira sighed and began "they said I'm ugly, I am not, they said I'm fat I...I.." she shuttered
"I know you have believed over the years all these things so the seem true to you, you might have lot of weight but you can try to reduce it and now before that time reach you should begin telling yourself you're not fat anymore" Mrs Judy explained
She nodded in understanding and continued
"They said I'm ugly, but I'm not, they said I'm fat but I'm not, they said I smell but I don't, they say I'm dull but I'm not" she concluded
"When you start believing what they say you'll get hurt and scared but when you start standing for yourself on the grounds that you're not what they said it means they won't hurt you anymore because you know the truth now and what they said we're lies" Mrs Judy stated
"Thanks ma'am" Mira said in appreciation
"Darling you don't need to thank me" Mrs Judy said
"I do" Mira smiled
"And I accept" Mrs Judy said "now repeat it again before we call it a day, I want to be assured you get used to it from today" Mrs Judy stated
"They said I'm ugly, but I'm not, they said I'm fat but I'm not, they said I smell but I don't, they say I'm dull but I'm not" she repeated according and closed her eyes while she said it to accept it all.
"Great, thanks for coming today Mira, I'm proud of the progress you are making" Mrs Judy said as they stood up
"I promise to make you happier, I will try to put all that you are teaching me to practice" Mira said and stood up
"That's a good spirit" Mrs Judy said and walked her to the door
"See you tomorrow" Mira said and Mrs Judy waved her off as she left the office and walked down to the gym
By the time she was done recalling the event at Mrs Judy office as she walked home, she was at the entrance of their house.
Her mum just got back home and they both walked into the house together
"Hi mum" she greeted
"My beautiful princess, how was your day?" She asked and gave her daughter a kiss in her cheeks
"It was kind to me" Mira replied unknowing that she had been followed since she left the gym
"That's great" her mum smiled
"What's for dinner" Mira asked
"I bought take outs" her mum replied and passed her a pack
"Oh thanks" she took a seat and opened her food
"You're welcome my love" her mum joined her and they sat silently
When Mira was done with her meal she dispose her pack and left the kitchen "good night mum" she said and went up to her room.
She went to her room, took a seat at her reading table and did some studying, she didn't study for long because of the stressful day she had at the gym, her body was getting used to the new deal so she needed to go to bed earlier than before, she got into her bathroom and showered, she wore her cute nightie and bounced in her bed, she remembered that she is to read her affirmations before she sleeps but she was mentally and physically exhausted so she postponed it to the morning before she leaves for school, she added it to her Todo list mentally.
Finally, she smiled at her accomplished day and no pranks on her kind of day, she felt happy, in a long time she had not be this happy with her day, now that she was she appreciated it over and over again before finally she drifted to a peaceful and calm sleep.
Not so long into her peaceful sleep, Mira kept tossing and turning in bed. She wasn't someone with any problem sleeping, yet she felt so uncomfortable and couldn't completely fall asleep.
Mira couldn't help feeling like someone was watching her. Eventually she gave up trying to sleep and opened her eyes. She left her room and went down to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of milk, it always made her sleepy. When she was down with her glass of milk she rinsed her cup and went back up to her room.
As she sat up in her bed her eyes caught a shadow in her darkened room standing by her window. She gasped and quickly reached out to put on her bedside lamp but after putting the lamp on, she found that there was no one there.
Mira sat up confused by what just happened. She shook her head and looked around her room again.
Was she now seeing things?
She sighed rubbing her eyes with her hand in an attemptto somehow clear her head by doing so.
It had been a stressful week so it was probably just her stressed eyes playing tricks on her. She thought and laughed nervously at her own cowardice. She would tell Lu-Lu the whole episode of what just happened and they'd laugh at it together.
Knowing fully well that she wouldn't be able to fall asleep again, she decided to read a book. A novel Lu-Lu had borrowed her over a month ago. It was supposed to be a good book about a cowgirl and aliens. Trust Lu-Lu to pick the weirdest things. Mira settled down on her mini couch by her west window. Her room was actually the attic. When Mira and her mom had moved to this house. Mira immediately fell in love with the attic and its' window views. It had two windows, one facing the busy street while the other facing the forest behind the house. One window was always so lively while the other serene and sometimes both scenes met in her room like two rivers crashing into eachother.
The book was in her hand but it had failed to occupy her mind as she peeked at the forest out of her window every once in a while.
Something about the forest fascinated her, pulled her towards it.
She didn't know what it was but she knew something was about to change. She just had that feeling. Anxious. Like how she always felt when she was to recieve her test results. Never really knowing if the outcome was good or bad. One could only hope, but you never really knew.
She takes a deep breath and looks out of the window again, expecting to look at the same ordinary forest but this time something caught her eye.
Just at the edge of the forest she saw a figure run by with inhuman speed behind the trees. She spotted two other figures running closely behind. They seemed to be running straight to her house. She clamped her hand over her mouth to stop herself from screaming. This had to be a dream.
She quickly got up and leaned her torso out of the window, watching the last glimpses of the cat and mouse game before they disappeared from her line of vision.
Mira stayed like that, slightly leaning out of the window as she looked at the forest with curiosity and tried to make sense of the scene that happened seconds ago.
What were those things in the forest?
It was too dark outside to see anything that far clearly but whatever it was, it was clearly too fast to be the Kalvin twins who had planked her and her mother last halloween. Mira had completely forgotten about her book so when it fell suddenly from the couch, she jumped almost having a heart attack. This was crazy. She thought picking up the book.
Sighing Mira closed the window but couldn't help looking out.
It was dark and silent, the only noise being the faint chirping of the crickets.
Minutes went by with her standing in front of the window, looking at the forest but nothing happened. A yawn escaped her lips and she finally decided that it was time to go to bed when suddenly a something walking out of the forest, only for her to notice that what she saw was in reality wolves. She counted them, they were three. Wolves in a residential area.
She tried to think but no! There was no zoo anywhere close by so how the hell did wolves get there.
These animals were unusual. Two smaller wolves and a much bigger one. The black wolf was much bigger than the other ones but Mira was too shocked at the moment to be scared of the fact that wolves were in her fucking backyard. Her eyes fixed at the scene in front of her. They seemed oblivious to her audience and seemed to be somehow communicating amongst them selves.
She wanted to run away and call the police, or animal control in this case but it was like as if she was nailed there, paralyzed.
She just stood and stared at the wolves as the smaller wolves paraded lazily around her back yard before going back to meet the black wolf who remained at the entrance to the forest.
The black wolf looked briefly at the other wolves and then turned around making eye contact with her causing her heart to stop.
She stood there speechless as the remaining two wolves disappeared bowing to black one while it stared at her. Miranda was scared of it, that it might jump through her window and rip her head off so she didn't dare move. She couldn't move.The wolf stared at her for a few more minutes before finally taking his gaze from her and running into the forest, leaving her there, shaking in fear of what she had just witnessed.She was able to pull herself from the side and almost ran back to her bed, she jumped up back to go and shut her windows, when she felt a bit safe and separated from what is in the forest she went back to bed and covered herself including her head, she closed her eyes tightly together so that she could sleep but the beats from her heart was thunderous and it didn't let her sleep, how is it even possible to sleep after what she just saw, it might hunt her in her dreams, she thought of keeping her eyes closed but it was as if she was seeing those eyes from the wolf again
Mira fought hard to stylishly avoid the swarm of students in the hallway, as she made her way to her locker. She wasn't the most popular girl in the school and she had come to accept her identity as a nobody.Not until she found Blake, the most popular boy in the school, and quarterback for the school's football team, standing seductively in front of her locker, waving at her.Mira pinched herself three times before she stood head to chest in front of him. Even in her ponytail, she still couldn't pass his chest. Cold sweat broke out of her temples, and it took everything in her not to touch his face to be sure that he was really standing in front of her.Oh my gosh he looks even more divine in person. He definitely looks hotter close up than watching him from far through all the eleven games he had played on the school's football team so far. My question now is, what the fuck is he doing here?!She shakily finger-combed through her hair. She cursed herself inwardly for not using her
The scorching sun threatened to fry any skin that dared to stand underneath it, but after about fifteen minutes, the sun began to set. It was a most beautiful sunset, casting a golden glow on the entire earth in its wake. Mira stood at the court anxious, excited, scared. It was a barrage of emotions. She wasn't sure what to expect from her private meeting with the most popular boy in school. Yet, she was super happy to be talking privately with her life long crush. She bit her index fingers feverishly and had to forcefully stop herself when she noticed she had started bleeding around her cuticles. After waiting for what seemed like an hour, she resigned her fate and assumed he wasn't coming anymore.'I was so excited that I forgot to carry my phone from my locker. I don't even know what the time is and mom might start worrying about me. I guess I'll just go back home now. I don't know why I thought the cutest boy in school was suddenly interested in me. I guess they were all right
They got to their locker and took the books they would be using today out, and went to their first class which was literature."Get seated" the teacher said ones he came in, he was referring to the guys he met seating on their desk instead of the chairs"We are being the discussion class about Hamlet, Mira read for me, I like your tone expression with how you read the first part for us in out class yesterday, it impressed me" her literature teacher saidShe stood up after summoning confidence "According to his plan, Hamlet begins to act strangely. He rejects Ophelia, while Claudius and Polonius, the royal attendant, spy on him. They had hoped to find the reason for Hamlet's sudden change in behaviour but could not. Claudius summons Guildenstern and Rosencrantz, old friends of Hamlet to find out what's got into him. Their arrival coincides with a group of travelling actors that Hamlet happens to know well. Hamlet writes a play which includes scenes that mimic the murder of Hamlet's fa
Mira left school immediately it was over to meet with her lovely understanding therapist."Hey darling, come in" Mrs Judy said as she saw Mira"Thanks ma'am" she said and walked into the office"Take a seat don't mind the many throw pillows" she cleared it out for Mira "my husband bought it to keep me company" the old laughed chuckled"That's hilarious" Mira laughed"He could be like that some times" she said and took a seat opposite Mira to begin the section "That's really nice, at least you can have a comfortable rest on them" Mira said"Yea" Mrs Judy nodded "okay, let's begin. How have things been working out for you in school?" She asked"It's been fine, I feel a bit of confidence these days. And when I read I'm able to concentrate better" she said and smiled at the evidence of growth"How about others around you in school?" Mrs Judy asked"Some of my teachers had praised me for my improvement and my mates well" she shrugged "they are still mean but I just ignore them" she explai
Mira had settled in and was about to start eating when the object of her fantasy appeared in front of her. She pinched herself to be sure that he was real and when the image didn't disappear, she carefully stood up and smiled. She hoped she wasn't visibly drooling as she tore her eyes off his godly build that pressed tightly against his shirt.The guy looked at her with curiosity as he walked towards her, one of his hands deep in his pockets. As he got closer to her the sweet intoxicating smell got stronger driving him crazy. Her heart beat quickened as he stopped only a foot away from her and takes in another sniff like dogs do. He continues to stare at her as he extends his hand out, “Alex.” He said and his voice came out husky. And fucking hot! She thought as she flashed him her brightest smile.The innocent girl in front of him looks down at his hand, her gorgeous blonde hair pulled back in a pony tail behind her.“Miranda.” She said and placed her hand in his and immediately s
Mira went to her next stop at the gym, just as she was about to enter the gym her mum called"Hello" her mum said from the other end of the call"Hi mum" Mira greeted"Do you mind getting some things at the mart from me?" She askedMira thought abit about it and decided to take an off day from working out today so she could attend to her mum "okay mum" she replied"Thanks, I'll send you a list of the things I need" her mum said and ended the call.She went to the mart as planned and bought all that her mum asked for.Mira was walking home from the mart. It was only a few blocks from the house so she preferred to take a walk rather than use a cab. She noticed the black convertible which was parked when she went in was still parked outside. Usually she was clueless about her surroundings but the car was something you had to notice even from a mile away. She didn't realized that she had stood staring at the car for a while till the owner came out. She immediately recognised him. Alex. H
Alex was frustrated, he didn't know how to handle the situation he had caused, he didn't know why he kept hurting her, he thought it was because he was fighting with his wolf and he didn't want her because she's human but his wolf wanted her and they were taking the whole thing on her, there by losing control and hurting her, he felt awful after what he did, but there was no time to waste win beating himself up for what he had just done, he had to hurry up and get her treated, he took her to the pack house and then a free room, he sent for pack doctor to check her and treat her bruises. The doctor came immediately and attended to his Luna with the best of his abilities, when he was done with treating her wounds, checking her vitals and injecting her with a special healing clay that is produced only in the were wolf world. He was sure she would be completely heal like nothing ever happened to her when she wakes up.After a few hours, Mira woke up gasping for air. She remembered everyt
