Avery’s POV
I sat on the floor starring at my wolf as guilt filled my chest
Remembering how I talked to Mr. Arthur
How he struggled to warn me
How he showed up from nowhere and took stabs for me and I still wasted his life by letting them kill me
“What’ll Dylan think” I sobbed, hugging my knees “I’m the cause of his father’s death.” I hugged my knees tighter… So much it hurt my ribs “I- I hurt him before now I’m taking away all he has left”
“WHAT KINDA LUNA AM I?” I yelled, even though no one was listening “Why am I even here” I said with a shaky voice as my vision began to fade
“Avery” someone called my name
I turned to see who it was
I hissed when I saw my wolf them turned back to my formal position “Perfect timing”
“Get up. We have to go”
“To where… Hell?”
“No. You think White Blood Lunas die just like that?”
I turned my attention to her then turned back “Stupid wolf” I mumbled
She growled
“My mother died… Just like that”. Wasn’t sure a Luna aswell?”
“She went through a lot”
“I’m going through a lot”
“So you just wanna let yourself die?”
“…”
“Waste Mr. Arthur’s and Dylan’s lives?”
“Don’t drag in Dylan” I frowned
“He’s gonna die soon. But you can help”
I remained on the floor, refusing to listen
“This is why you need me… To be your guardian. You make stupid decisions”
“We’re not gonna get along”
“You don’t know that. Get up. We have a fight to finish”
“I’m dead” I frowned
“It’s this ignorance that got Mr Arthur killed!”
I closed my eyes, trying not to let my wolf’s word cut in too deep
I slowly stood up “What now?”
My wolf walked to me then bowed
“That’s not saying much” I said emotionlessly
Almost a second after I said that, the whole place turned bright. It was blinding
Then seconds later… Everywhere was dark
I tried moving but I couldn’t
I was in too much pain I couldn’t even scream
“Relax, I’m not done healing… Your transformation’ll be a bit slow” I heard a voice in my head
I relaxed but then someone started shaking me
Ughhhhh. The fuck that is?!
I felt pain hit my gum
“You’re shifting… Brace yourself”
How do people get used to a person in their head?
I felt someone hug me tightly but I was too paralyzed to react
I couldn’t move or say anything
“Leave her… Ugh” I heard Tessa
Dylan!
“How long will it take to wake up?!”
“Few more seconds… You think reviving is easy?”
I remained quite and waited impatiently
I heard someone fall beside me
Almost immediately after that, I opened my eyes and sat up, ignoring the minor pains I still felt
I was disgusted when I saw how much blood I was covered in
I licked my teeth, feeling the fangs
“How?…” Tessa trailed
I looked at my sides and saw Dylan and Arthur’s dead bodies, lying
I looked back at Tessa who looked terrified
Blood lust.
Thats all I felt… At that moment, I wasn’t sad, angry and definitely not happy even though I was sitting next to the corps of the people I loved the most.
I didn’t know who I was at that moment
I didn’t even feel human… I was confused but none of that matters right now
I stood and immediately, I heard bones crack…. My bones
My eyes were fixed on Tessa as I imagined how much I would torture her before killing her
I felt impatient
While I was shifting, Tessa tried sticking a knife in me again but I was able to snatch the knife and stab her in her abdomen
She screamed, falling on the floor and crying
I watched her whip, wondering why she was crying
Is she afraid of loosing her life?
After seconds of disturbing noises made by my shifting bones, I was done with my transformation
I looked exactly like the wolf I saw in my head
I didn’t bother admiring myself though
My eyes were stuck to my soon to be first kill, who was lying on the floor hopeless
I took slow steps towards her, enjoying the satisfaction I got from watching her terrified face
Something about me felt odd… I couldn’t tell what
Is it because I’m in my wolf form?
No
I tried to stop walking to see if I was in control of my body
I gasped when I realized I wasn’t in control… It was my wolf
I didn’t do anything, knowing she would do a better job with tormenting Tessa, besides, I probably don’t know how to move properly in my wolf form. My wolf and I share the same emotions and memories, so I’m guessing she hates Tessa as much as I do
Liam’s POV
“I knew he’d be late.” I mumbled, parking the car, not too far from Avery’s house
I got down, rushing to her house, getting ready to yell at Dylan when my nose was hit with a strong smell of blood
“What?” I frowned, increasing my pace
I froze for a second when I heard a scream followed by growls
I knew Tessa was the one screaming and the person growling… That’s probably Dylan
“What’s going on?” I asked myself, running
With each step, fear drew in my chest as I began to realize… That growl isn’t Dylan’s
Hell, it isn’t a pack members growl
Could it be a rouge?
No, it held too much authority
I got to the door and tried opening it but it was locked
‘Even if I was able to get in… would I come out alive? What happened to Dylan?’
I took in a deep breath and sent a mind link to all guards near by to report here immediately
‘What happened to Avery?’ I wondered as I opened the door
I felt my pupils shrink when I saw the room covered with blood
I felt my confidence drain out of me when I sighted the big white wolf in charge of all this
It’s mouth and most of it’s fur was stained with blood…
I felt my breakfast run up to my throat when I saw the corps that laid in front of it
Is that Tessa?
Her arms and legs were detached
She had claws marks all over her. She laid dead in a pool of blood while the wolf starred at her, not looking satisfied
I was about to run when the wolf turned to me but I couldn’t
It felt like I was being controlled by that wolf’s stare.
Like I was commanded to stop and disobeying wasn’t even an option
I watched the wolf go into a room then turned my attention back to Tessa’s corps, wondering if that wolf had any form of humanity in it
My attention immediately turned back to the entrance of the room the wolf had entered
“Dylan?” I gasped, watching the wolf pull out his corps
Some guards showed up behind me, but froze at the situation
The wolf went back in and pulled out Mr. Arthur
‘Please take them to the hospital’
I almost shook when I received a mind link from the wolf
“Take them to the hospital” I ordered the guards
They nodded and rushed to the bodies as soon as the wolf sat
They left but I stayed
“Where’s Avery” I asked, trying to hide how intimidated I was by this wolf’s presence
I noticed her phone lying on the floor, not too far from me
I picked it up and put it on, hoping I could get a clue from it, explaining what happened here
“Bingo” I said, seeing it has been recording everyone’s voices since the beginning
I turned my attention back to the wolf who didn’t seem to be a threat anymore
I stood back when the wolf laid and closed its eyes, preparing to shift back into its human form
I began to hear its bones break and shift
Its transformation took more time than an average wolf
I turned my attention back to Avery’s phone, wanting to play the record
I wanted to know what happened and what brought this wolf here
I felt so impatient
My attention shifted back to wolf when I stopped hearing its bones shifting
My eyes shot wide open
“A-Avery?” I said taking slow steps towards her unconscious body
