Hailey.....
"ummm... I'm sorry but I don't understand Spanish much. can you speak in English?" Hailey asked.
He smiled "of course... I certainly can... so tell me young lady, do you have your pass entry?"He spoke with his heavy Spanish accent.
Smiling Hailey replied. "No, I'm sorry I'm new here, so I don't have it now. But, my name has been registered in the dorm list. It's Hailey Williams..." she showed him her passport as a prove.
The old man smiled politely. "Don't worry my child, I can understand and you are a very pretty and unique girl. your accent telling me that you are British?"
She nodded "yes, I'm from Scotland. I arrived in Spain today."
"I was guessing that. He gave a card to her and her passport "This is your password, keep it safe,with you okay?"
"Sure, thank you."she smiled politely.
The old man also smiled back"Remember one thing dear, don't stay out late at night and don't go to far inside that jungle."
He pointed out towards the dark jungle a bit away from the church. "it's not safe, specially for young girls like your age.
Hailey...
I felt a chill running down through my spines. I don't know why it's so enchanting, the old man enlightment on the jungle he just told me about grew my curiosity a hundred times to go inside.
But I cannot tell that to him right? After all he's a native citizen and knows far better than me that's just arriving today. " I will remember that, thank you for letting me know about it."
----------------------------------------------
My room is in one corner of the hostel. it's small but perfect for one person. it's a small room so I don't have to share it with anyone that's one common trait among girls, they hate sharing their space or stuffs with anyone, greedy genders,lol...well, not that I'm complaining , I'm actually happy about the fact. As an introvert person sharing room would make me uncomfortable.
----------------------------------------------
There was a window at the Corner. Keeping her luggage aside she opened the window. It's completely dark outside, only one small light was hanging on the small backyard. And then the dark jungle started.
I remember my colleague Janie, who helped me to get this dorm, also told me not to enter that jungle. She even said there was wolves in there and howling sounds can be heard from time to time, I thought Humans accepted werewolves already or was I ready too much novels to make me think that things happening in novels now happens in reality I won't say I'm scared much but it's kind of creepy.
you might be wondering how I became colleague with Janie, aside from being a vetenary doctor, sorry I never mentioned the type of doctor I was in the beginning, Basically I'm an online novel writer and same was Janie too. we both knew each other through our online writing group and when I shared about my problems and thoughts and problems in the forum she gave me this solutions.
It will be fun entering the jungle to find something to write about my new novel.
"Owuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Owuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" All of a sudden I heard a loud growl. I know those things are coming from far but it's feel like it is happening in front of me. The sound was really scary. But as long as I can leave peacefully, I'm fine with it.
---------------------------------------------
it's been week since I shifted here, it's been good so far. I have met other women's here, All are quite good and independent in their own way about all ages women are here.
The person I have come to love the most since weeks of staying here was the head sister of the church. she is very good, kind named it all even an experience women.
With other the howling sounds at night I'm very pleased with other things. But,for some kind of reason to me I'm kind of attracted towards that jungle, like I literally wants to see what's inside, how the so called wolves look like, I want to know everything about them, is kinda stupid right?
Now I'm preparing to go there to find some inspiration in something to write about.
....................................................................
it's afternoon now, Hailey was there for almost four hours. when time flew away she didn't know, because of the scenery, the artistic environment was cool and refreshing. Suddenly she felt hungry, opening her lunch box she had some sand wiches and chilled drinks. After eating she felt kinda sleepy.... I think, I can have some rest here"with that she laid down under a tree. And when darkness covered her eyes she herself didn't know. And in a moment, she fell asleep.
----------------------------------------------
DAMON POV...
Tonight is the mating ceremony and I'm currently getting ready for it even though I didn't just feel like going but Brain was on my neck, frankly speaking I don't have too much hope on this. But, I have decided if I can't find my mate I will first off all kill Brandon then I won't attend anymore ceremonies. I'm so done with this.
I don't know but I'm having this feeling that we will find our mate tonight." My wolf, Kyle spoke suddenly.
"I just wish your feelings comes true." I replied.
"Yeah, don't be late, let's go. "Kyle urged me to attend the party.
----------------------------------------------
In the party, everyone is enjoying, people are here to find their mates. Though I said I was hopeless about this but since I have come here already both me and Kyle are very excited. Not sure why, but I'm also having the same feeling as Kyle.
I looked at my watch,its 8:00pm. Taking a champagne glass in a hand, I sat down at one corner watching every single she_wolf in the party.
There are some humans too. They are from other packs, as various packs attend this ceremony to find their mates and some comes to meet with friends.
In our path still there's no human, it's not that I'm complaining. in other hand, it's good to not have any human because they need extra care. After all, they are not powerful like wolves or other creatures.
But, on the other hand, if I think about my mate I actually don't care if she is wolf, had or any creature. I will love and protect her always. That's my promise to her and I will never break it.
But, where's she? still she didn't show up. does moon goddess have anyone for me or not?
Hey handsome"came a seductive voice beside me its Maggie. My father's best friend's one and only spoiled daughter.
She always wanted to hook up with me even when I clearly said I was not interested. she also doesn't have any mate till now, or she rejected after having, only God knows. I'm fed up with her stupid trick of seducing me I might eat or kill her alive if she keep on coming to me when I'm thinking of my mate, lol, that's gross I won't do that I'm just kidding.
She came and ran her finger up on my sleeve. "Need a company?"
My wolf growl, shaking my head, I make a respective distance between us"no, thanks. just enjoy yourself and don't disturb me " my tone was rude but very clear.
But I think she's brazen enough to avoid my ignorance and continue with her shenanigans of being more touchy" I know, you still didn't find your mate. But, I'm here." I can fill all your needs.
"with that her hands started going down to my crotch.
I also have my patience level and her shamelessness just broke it. Grabbing her arm tightly. I got close to her face. Her expression changed our of hurt. But I don't care. "dare do it one more time I swear on your life I will rip your head off from your shoulder" with that I almost throw her away and left the ceremony. fuck of this ceremony.
Kyle is more angrier than me. He is always impatient and wilder than my human form. "you should have just rip her head off! I'm going mad, I need to calm down. I'm going and you keep looking for our mate " with that he blocked me.
"Alpha, we found few rogues at the side of the big pine tree .They were about to attack a human there." All of a sudden my beta mind linked with me.
My blood boiled hearing him. We never attack any human or other innocent creatures how dare they came and break the peace of my area.?"I'm coming I replied. leaving my clothes aside,i shifted into my wolf form and run towards the line tree.
suddenly, a sweet rose smell hit my nose. The most amazing smell on earth! And then it hits me its my mate.
Kyle also came out of His knows where, excited than ever! " Mate! it's our mate! run faster! "He shouted...
I'm running towards the smell and it's increasing, that means she S near. wait, she is a human!"Kyle said all of a sudden. And then u realised she doesn't smell like a wolf, that mean she's a human! wait. Rogues attached a human.They attacked our mate! how dare they!?Kyle shouted again. I'm so angry now. I will not allow any of those bastardy go. They will pay for what they did. When I reached the sport, the smell of her was very strong.But I didn't see her, instead I found my beta and some of the warriors were standing with three rogues. We are all in our wolf form. seeing me,my beta walked up to me"tgesetgree want to attack a human, lying under the tree.
My heart hurt and at the same time skipped a bit, what if they hurt her? No, it can't be.. "kill them"with that I ran towards the tree, where my mate is.
And there she is lying under the big pine tree.... "mate! our mate!"Kyle shouted happily. "oowuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" And before me knowing he howled in excitement.
She jumped up from her sleep and started looking around. I still can't see her face. We both are going crazy to see ger"please turn mate.... show your face!.'
She turned around and the world stopped for a moment. she is so beautiful, she has long red hair, and blue white shade eyes with her fair skin tone. Exactly looks like the ice princess. She's so unique. Specially, her eyes! it's white at the middle and then blue. "our mate is beautiful and enchanting"Kyle purred. "we finally found her. owuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" He again howled in excitement
"stop screaming Kyle, we will scare her" I said but we both know, she's already scared. Because hearing the loud howling she started panicking. looking around her. suddenly she started packing the bag beside her, ready to leave the place. But, I can not let her go just like that. she's my mate. our mate. I need to stop her. but how? while I was thinking, Kyle took the lead and suddenly stepped towards her.
----------------------------------------------
Hailey didn't even know when she fell asleep suddenly,
"owuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" A loud scream woke her up from her sleep.
HAILEY POV.....
I'm so scared at this moment. God! when did I fall asleep! it's dark now whereas everyone warned me to go back before its get dark. why am I so careless, oh God!
I started looking around to find any wolf or dogs is around me or not. when I looked behind me and suddenly, I heard another howl. it's feels like its for me like it's calling me.
I think I'm going insane with each passing time, right? or else, why would I think of something absurd? I decide to leave the place as quickly as possible and started organizing my messy bag.
But all if a sudden, I heard footsteps over dry leaves... I stopped, not only me my breath also stopped. I thought without my movements it won't notice me but I was wrong! Because I heard the footsteps nearing me from behind.
My heart is beating so fast that I felt it's going to jump out of its cage at any moment. This place is famous for werewolves, that's what I heard. while I was thinking about various things, the footstep stopped the sound.
I wanted to look behind me. Because I'm sure something's behind me, I can feel the staring.
Gathering up all the courage in me, I finally looked behind. And I swear I regretted it, I regretted my life after what I saw in front of me was a big grey wolf it was standing a few steps away from me. My brain and stopped working and freeze that time. I only knew one thing, that I'm seeing my death in front of me.
it's bright green eyes were sparking as if he's the happiest after seeing me. And who won't, after seeing their prey in front of them.
Is this the end of my life on earth? I asked myself maybe it is 'cause I'm not sure I'm going to leave here alive. I'm already half dead.
Suddenly, I remembered one thing that animals especially the cat family are afraid of fire I couldn't find fire here but I have my touch light. And without thinking much I switch it on and pointed it directly to its eyes.
However, nothing happened. it didn't even flinched,instead, I felt it was laughing at my stupid idea" oh God! please help me! I don't want to die!
It was standing quietly all the time observing me maybe if I was fat or too skinny for his liking..... that was supposed to be funny but I couldn't laugh because I can smell my own death. However, it might get bored and decided to take a step forward, making me tripped on my toes and fall hard on the rock. "Aaah" a painful sound escape from my lips. Hearing me he came forward again.
And I quickly went back almost dragging myself. There was no time to stand up.
I looked behind over my shoulder. If I go few more steps I will definitely fall in the water fall and if I don't then I might serve as someone's dinner.
It felt like time has been stopped and all of a sudden, I felt salty taste on my lips. It was my tears. I don't even know when I started crying. I looked at the wolf helplessly, begging for my life silently.
It might understand because what it did next took me by surprise, it was out of my imagination. He just sat down in front if me. not leaving his eyes from me though. My pulse rate increase ten times and I sat there like a statue. I was in a very awkward position. my hand started hurting " please let me go! I swear I won't come here again!" I pleaded with it to let me go... It didn't, of course why would he, but he lowered his head down on the sleeping position. I don't know why he did that but I had a chance to say in a some what comfort position.
His green sparkling eyes never left mine. I felt something inside me, this feeling I don't know what it was but it's a soothing feeling I never felt like this before.
Suddenly, I realised something, this wolf is different, He is not trying to hurt me or attack me. He is just watching me silently and calmly. I didn't notice it before because of fear but now when he is seating in front of me and my mind is clearing, I can notice his calmness. As if he is not there to hurt me, he just want my company.
He's only three steps away from me. His eyes are the most beautiful and mesmerizing thing I have ever seen in my life. And his grey color, it's amazing. He is a very beautiful creature of God!
And then at that moment I realized I'm not scared if it anymore because somehow my subconscious believe that he won't hurt me. And the most shocking thing is I'm loving his company.
"Am I out of my mind!?" Murmuring to myself I looked directly into his eyes. it's deep and somehow it's begging me to understand the words in it.
I don't know how long I looked into it but without me realising I spoje" you won't hurt me, will you?
HAILEY.....
I know this is stupid but I myself don't know why I asked that when it S crystal clear that I am a prey. I mean u was talking to a freaking wolf for God's sake.
The moment u asked that, he suddenly stand up and my breath hitched. I want to run away but I know it's not possible. I closed my eyes, cursing my luck and realizing its the end of me.
Hod knows how long I didn't open my eyes, waiting to get ripped off by the huge wolf in front of me. However, much to my surprise nothing like that happened! But when I was thinking of opening my eyes, something happened and that moment I was confirm about my death, because I felt his face against my chin.
But, guess what, it didn't attack me!! instead, what he did next surprise me, it's out of the world! I was confused whether I was in my dream or what! because, I felt his huge head against my chest, my whole body shivered in fear.
Something happened inside me, I don't know what exactly.
My breath was heavy, heart pounding so fast. Slowly, I opened my eyes and found him leaning against my chest and keeping his chin on my thigh!!
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. His actions were shocking, making me more confused, Dumbstrucked and whatnot!!
I was saying like a statue, expecting his attack at any moment. Yet he didn't do anything. He just sat there quietly as if enjoying his own time!!
However, there was something in it. I don't know why, I kind I'll f found it domineering as if he is making me as his territory!! Declaring to the world that I'm his.
