Chapter 11

Storm

When we arrived at the door of my dorm room, I knocked on the door just out of courtesy, not wanting to make a poor impression with my roommate by walking in on something gross, say like my roommate shagging a guy on the kitchen table for example. When the room’s door opened, a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes answered it, her scent hitting me, immediately alerting me to the fact that she was a werewolf.

I felt a cold shiver run along my spine as I realized I was going to be living on another pack’s territory. In my excitement at the thought of finally getting away from my pack and beginning a new life for myself, I had never even thought of this being a possibility. Being here with this girl was dangerous. I was in just as much danger, maybe more, living here with this girl as I had been living within my old pack.

Packs hate rogues, and I was now a rogue after having renounced my pack ties with my father’s pack. Masking my features to hide my concern at this latest discovery, I played it cool and introduced myself to the girl.

“Hi, I’m Lena Wolf. I’m your new roommate, and this is my sister Winter and her mate Felix,” I told her, holding out my hand to her with a smile.

She shook my hand and said, “Hi, I’m Lilly, it’s nice to meet you. Please, come in.”

Giving her a friendly smile, Winter, Felix and I followed her inside. The self-contained dorm room was awesome. It reminded me of a high-quality motel room. The lounge room had a three-seater dark blue lounge and two matching recliner chairs along with a large flat-screen television. The rooms kitchen had a wooden table with four matching timber chairs and a matching stainless-steel stove and oven, fridge and freezer, and a microwave. The appliances all looked new, and I noticed that the kitchen had ample cupboard and storage space.

Upon closer inspection, I noticed that all the pieces of furniture that were in the dorm room appeared to be brand new. Lilly led us into a bedroom that was located just off the left side of the lounge room. The bedroom was decent sized with abundant space.

The bedroom had two queen-sized beds, along with plenty of closet space in it. Felix placed my bags on the bed that Lilly told me was to be mine. Once I had set my bags down on the bed, Winter grabbed me, engulfing me in one of her big bear hugs, while Felix wrapped his arms around the both of us.

“Goodbye bubba. You make sure you take care of yourself. And you make sure you call me if you need me for anything. I mean it, anything at all, you be sure to call me, okay?”  she whispered, as she held me and rubbed my back.

 I nodded my head as I continued to hold onto her tightly. If I was being honest, I had to admit that I was scared to let her go. Tears were trailing silently down my cheeks as I thought about how much I was going to miss her when she left with Felix. Once the two of them had left, I would be alone for the first time in my life.

I was aware of Lilly watching our emotional display with open curiosity. She was probably thinking that I was a total cry baby, as she watched me clinging to Winter, with tears running down my face. It wasn’t long before Winter let me go and wiped the tears from my cheeks with her thumbs, and Felix embraced me in a hug as well.

“We have to go, baby,” Winter whispered, looking at me with tears in her eyes.

I nodded and hugged her to me again. “Walk us out?” she asked, as she withdrew from the hug.

Fighting further tears, I nodded as I grabbed my backpack and put it on, before following Felix and Winter out of the room, and down to where Felix had parked the hire car. When we got to the car, I said, “Goodbye fam, call me when you get to Germany, okay?” They both nodded, and grinned at me like a pair of idiots, before Winter said, “I will call you in a few hours to let you know that we made it there safely, okay?”
