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 when even she closed her eyes, she opened her eyes praying that what she saw should be a night mare and she should wake up from it, but she pinched herself repeatedly but nothing changed, she was still in that state of chaos.
She thought of something that could make her sleep, like a song, she decided to try singing, she remembered one of the newest song she had memorized "I'm not scared of the dark"
" I’m not scared of the dark
I’m not running, running, running
No, I’m not afraid of the fall
I’m not scared, not at all
Why would a star, a star ever be afraid of the dark?
I’m not scared
I’m not scared, even from the start
I’m not scared of the dark
Of the dark, mmm" she sniffed she was about crying
"I’m not scared of the dark
I ain’t never scared, I ain’t never scared
I’m not running, running, running
No, I’m not afraid of the fall
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m not scared, not at all
I ain’t never scared, I ain’t never scared
Why would a star, a star ever be afraid of the dark?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."
she ended the song and sighed it was as if the song helped her relax, now her heart beats were healthier and her shaking had stopped.
Mira closed her eyes finally and felt sleepy again, ones she was calm she embraced the feeling and she drifted up to sleep.
Meanwhile, Alex from a distance heard her lovely voice and stopped his race in the forest, he stood and listen to it knowingly that she must have been really scared after getting a view of their figure, "she should get used to it, she will soon get involved" Alex thought
"Let's get going" Brian said to Alex as he noticed he stopped
"Give me a minute" Alex wanted to listen more to her singing, it was not loud but that's one of the gift a werewolf has, they could here from far distance without any strain.
"Let's go" he said when he heard the calm heart beats of his mates heart "I think she has finally fallen asleep" he said to himself as they left.
Caleb, Brain and Alex ran through the woods back to were they had packed their car, when they got there they turned back, git into the car and went back to the pack house, which took hours but Alex didn't mind because his thoughts were filled with his newly found mate.
When they got pack to the pack house, Alex absent mindlessly walked up the stairs that lead to his room, he was deep in thoughts about this human girl, she confused him, he couldn't read her just be seeing her, through out the time he watched her he couldn't place his finger on what she was thinking, 'she was very beautiful though' he thought, but she was fat, not that he mind, the problem was how he was going to accept a human when all his live he had lived disliking their kind.
On his way to his room he did know when he walked past his girlfriend, when she didn't get a reply, she followed him, as she was about saying something to him to draw his attention to her he shut the door on her face without noticing she was there.
His girlfriend Sophia stood there a little bit longer to see if he will open his door back but gave up on waiting, it seem something had happened and she couldn't guess what might have made his mood like that.
Alex went into his bathroom, he stood under the shower too long, he was still dwelling on the thoughts of his mate whose name he haven't figured out yet, he had his wolf calm too, he was waiting for the right time to bounce out and go get his mate, Alex came out of his bathroom when he felt his head had cooled off a bit, he laid back on his bed quietly and looked upwards, "what was she doing in the gym?" He thought "why is she human?" He asked no one in particular suddenly getting angry. The gentleness of her voice flooded his head, he paused and smiled without realising. "she could sing so well" he mused.
Alex couldn't sleep all night, by the time daylight creeped into his room from his opened blinds. He he stood up and dressed up, he felt like going for a run, it might help clear his head, he wished he didn't have to think so much about her, it disgusted him that his interest is so pulled to the weak human girl.
"She isn't weak" his wolf said to him. Leave it to his wolf to pop up at unexpected times.
"Humans are weak Al, meaning she is weak as her kind" Alex pressed on the fact. Unlike other werewolves, he had never bothered to name his wolf so they opted to simply share his name.
His wolf didn't like the way he was reacting to the whole mate drama and was a bit stress with the idea of staying away from they mate.
"You haven't even met her, you're already stressed out" Alex said in his mind to his wolf, mentally rolling his eyes.
He changed and left the pack house for his morning run.
By the time he came back his mind was a bit lighter and he went to freshen up, dressed up for the day and went to his office like nothing had happened "are you deceiving others, or yourself" his wolf said to him
"Does that even matter?" he shrugged and replied
As he got drawn in the paper work he was doing, Caleb and Brian came in and brought up an idea of visiting his mate in the school she goes to because of course they went to make some research on their Luna.
Mira woke up the next morning, she didn't even remember what happened the previous night until she stood up and went to pick her affirmations book from her mini book shop as planned, she looked outside her window and stared waiting if she would she anything "it might have just been a dream" she said to herself and went back to seat down on her bed, she could see that she was becoming better at this self healing thing, she doesn't want anything to draw her back from reaching her full potential.
She opened her book and began reading to herself "Difficult times allow me to appreciate the good times.
"I forgive those who have hurt me" she held her chest and repeated "I forgive those who hurt me"
" I’m in charge of my life and no one will dictate my path besides me"
"I’m doing my best and that is enough" she beat her chest softly and repeated "I'm doing my best and that is enough"
"I have the power to create change" she said and a feeling behind her mind told her something was about to change, she thought it was her live at the town, unknowingly for her that it's her entire live as a human
"I know exactly what to do to achieve success" she nodded her head, she new it takes hard work to
"I choose to be proud of myself"
"I will not compare myself to strangers on the internet" she chuckled when she read this part because it's always her joy to stalk celebrities on the media and wish to live their lives.
Mira stood up and put the book back at her mini book shelves, she went into her bathroom for a quick shower, afterwards she dressed up for her day and ran down to the kitchen to meet her mum, she took a slice of the sandwich her mom had made and ran off to meet Lucie her best friend that was already waiting for her.
"Bye mum" she waved her off
"Hey, you look like you woke up late" Lucie said as she joined her inside the car
"Not really" She said
"Well, I look forward to today's biology test" Lucie said
"I'm totally prepared for it" Mira replied and rested back at the car seat to eat her sandwich
"What have you been up to" Lucie looked at her friend
"I've started therapy again" Mira sighed
Lucie thought abit about the new before she could say anything
"I'm happy for you, it seems like it's already doing a whole lot of work on you" Lucie said, she had noticed Mira wasn't sad this morning as usual, previous school days Mira will never for ones be happy that she's going to school that was what made her roll backwards on her academic performance, but today it's as if she's excited to take a test.
"Thanks, I hope it lasts" Mira replied
"Make sure it will" Lucie said to encourage the girl.
"Luke see you later" Lucie said as she got down the car
"Don't go anywhere after school I'll come and pick you up" Luke informed Lucie "Mira take care" he waved the girls and drove off
Before Lucie and Mira walked into the school they checked the time and saw that they were early, they decided to seat outside for a bit and talk about some other things before going to class and facing annoying people.
"What gist do you have cooked up for me" Mira asked, she's always backwards in the school updates on teen lives, but Lucie was a social one so she simply gets all the juices news from Lucie instead of talking to other people first before getting updates
"Okay, two girl were caught making out in the girls rest room last week, I thought you heard of it" lulu said
"My gosh, that..." Mira didn't know exactly what to say, bit the last thing she would do is judge them
"The head cheerleader dropped out lately, they suspect she got pregnant, but she said it's because her parents wants her to attend another school
"That's crazy" Mira said
"There's more, we suspect there's a kind of romance going on with our chemistry teacher and one of his female student" lulu said in whispers
"Oh my gosh, that's illegal" Mira said
"Well love does not cost a thing" lulu shrugged
"What if he is manipulating her and it's no romance but a blackmail" Mira said
"Hmm, that's not what I heard from my source, I don't really care" lulu said
"You know who the girl is?" Mira asked
"Nahh, my source said it's just a rumor no one knows who the girl is" lulu said
"It's just rumor then, nothing like that is true" Mira said
"Whatever, let get in" they stood up and went into the school
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
“She fucking fainted Brian! I expected her to take it badly but she fainted just because I came close to her. She is so fucking afraid of me! She’s my mate. How can she lo-” Mira was brought back to reality Mira heard a familiar voice growl and her breathing stopped in her throat. Was she breathing too loudly? She thought and tried as much as possible to hold her breath altogether. “Give her some time Alex. She needs to come to terms with all these information Al. What do you expect? She just found out that human dogs exists” the person Alex called Brain responded with a low chuckle but Alex shushes him. “Sshh do you hear that?” Alex asked and Mira’s heart began to beat faster. “What are you talking about?” Brian answered with a confused expression. “She's here.”Alex said and Mira stiffened completely. She was caught without even making a sound? Like what the actual fuck! Their instincts must be sharp. Fucking animals.“Mira, you can come in.” Brian said jokingly. Mira gasped a
