Meeting A Human

The sound of grass getting crushed and the sound of twigs getting snapped filled the atmosphere with an eerie sensation. Angel and I became very alert as if we were in our wolf form. Our senses went berserk.

The wind blew past our faces as we kept twisting and turning our heads to keep a look out of the possible intruder of our secret place.

“Carmen, let’s go!” Angel whispered in panic. I knew what she was saying was right… it was a scary situation however I was curious to know who was lingering around in the bushes. My curiosity was eating me alive.

“Carmen!” Angel whispered out of immense frustration. It was clear that she did not want to stay there any longer. I did not want to argue with her, so I complied and grabbed her hand before heading out of the forest.

We stopped mid way to catch our breaths. It was ages when we used to run a lot… it felt like torture to our fragile feet. “Are you ok?” I asked Angel who was panicked to her core.

We were close to the borders of our pack. Angel and I realized that in haste, we ran in the wrong direction. It was forbidden for me or any wolf to cross the borders as we were in danger of being exposed to the society just beyond the walls.

The society that we had to hide in the shadows from were human beings. Dad had explicitly stated that no matter what, it was our duty to stay out of the human’s sight.

If even one of us gets into contact with them, it would render us exposed to the human society. Angel had sweat dripping down her face. The fear of showing herself to humans was immense like any other wolf in the pack. I, on the other hand, despite being told again and again that humans were dangerous was very curious to see the human society.

I recalled dad’s story about a someone from our pack being ambushed by a human and sold to other humans. She was never heard from again. Even though that was the story told to me, my curious mind did not leave me alone for a second. I knew fully believed that all humans were these selfish heartless people. I wanted to interact and know more about them; it was if there was a whole new world to explore beyond the brick walls.

As my eyes were captured by the wall, I began to go closer to it. My entire mind was focused on what is beyond those walls. As I was examining it, I noticed that there was a crack in a part of the wall. A medium sized hole was present, allowing some light to pass through from the other side. I turned my head to the back of me and saw Angel not looking at me.

Taking this small window of an opportunity, I placed my eye in front of that hole to try and get the view of the surroundings of the other world. The first thing that caught my eye was something or someone I have never seen before.

It was a tall handsome man jogging on the other side of the road. My jaw dropped to the floor as my eyes captured his broad shoulders and pumping biceps through his white vest. The intense look he had on his sweaty face completely melted me apart. I had no idea what was going on, but I had a weird feeling inside of me, the more I stared at him.

He stopped his jog along the side of the road and bent his waist, trying to catch his breath. I was caught by surprise when he placed his hands on his waist and removed his vest, exposing his sexy body.

My eyes popped out of their sockets, as I glanced at his ripped body. His six pack abs, wide chest and v-cut made me drool all over myself.

 I wanted to peak at him a little while longer, but Angel tugged at my hand to stop me.

“Carmen, what are you trying to do? Are you crazy?” she whispered in frustration as her brows twitched. It was clear that she did not want me anywhere near those walls.

“No, nothing… I was just looking around.” I pulled my hand out of her grip. I gulped as I tried to conceal that hunk of a man from Angel. My mind was filled with him and I could not seem to get him out… nor did I want to.

My face formed a smile as I recalled him exposing his body to me but I was immediately disturbed by the snapping of Angel’s fingers.

“Where are you lost?” she asked… looking skeptical at me. I shook my head to avoid her question but she kept on going.

“Don’t you know that it is forbidden to go anywhere near these walls? Only the guards can be here.” Angel explained in frustration and annoyance. I rolled my eyes as I heard Angel go on to tell me how wrong my actions were. I placed my hands on my hips as my ears took in her lecture. She was the type of friend who could go on and on and I could not take it anymore. I already had a lot to hear from dad and Ivan back home.

“Well, I don’t see the guards here so let me be.” I tried to argue back at her. But of course, that did not make her calm down or shut up.

Just as Angel was warming up to her scolding, the two of us got shocked when we heard a deep voice yell our way, “Hey! What are you guys doing here?”

Our attention on each other diverted as we turned our heads to the direction where the voice was coming from.  Our eyes popped as we saw Angel’s dad standing right in front of us. He was one of the guards who were guarding the borders.

His entire body was covered with a bullet proof vest that was supplied from the human society in case any fight was going to take place. Everyday a specific group of omegas would enter the human society to grab a few supplies needed for the survival of our pack. They bought in these vests and weapons to help the guards be better prepared for all kinds of danger.

He had a gun holster attached to the side of his waist with a black gun fitted inside. His hands were covered in black leather gloves and overall, he looked tight.

Because of how well he performed, keeping the pack safe, my dad made him the leader of the guards. No one dared to mess with him, even I would not despite being the daughter of the alpha. Even though his face looked strict, he was fun to hand around with.

He would take Angel and I wherever we wanted to go and have loads of fun. I admired him as a dad a lot to the point where I felt my own dad needed to take some notes from him. He was not restrictive of Angel and never forced her to marry any guy she did not want to. I was jealous of Angel for this.

“Dad!” Angel exclaimed with joy as she wrapped her arms around him. She short compared to his great height. His heavy built body too made all the difference.

“Angel, Carmen… what are you girls doing here? Don’t you know its dangerous?” he rebuked the both of us. I did not feel bad since I knew it was just out of concern, but I could see Angel feeling hurt. Hearing her dad shout, made her feel upset and it was all my fault.

In the process of filling my curious mind with that hottie, I got my best friend in trouble and that did not sit well with me. I did not want any sort of fight to occur, so I quickly held onto Angel’s arm and gave a nervous smile to her dad.

“Oh, Angel and I actually lost our way, otherwise we would have never come here in the first place.” I explained as Angel still had her head lowered in sadness.

“Well next time, please remember to never come here. It is just too dangerous especially now since some of the guards have gone on their lunch break. I still am eyeing the entire length of the border, but I can’t be everywhere being only one person.” He explained out of concern as his eyebrows narrowed.

“Ah! You don’t need to worry. We are heading home now. Goodbye!” I waved at him. I held Angel’s hand and rushed out of the border area.

“Phew… that was a close call.” I exclaimed while wiping the swear beads out of my forehead.

Who was that guy? There was something about him that I made me want to know more…
