The bright moonlight was shinning on the lake, where I saw my human side again. I have been living as a wolf for weeks. During this time, I hunted deer and rabbits for living. And I ran freely every day. The moon heard my howling every night. Don't judge me, that's how Lana live.
In my pack, the Full Moon Pack.There are main two parts. One lived in the forest, like me, who live as a traditional way. Most of the time, we shift to our wolf form. We run, hunt, growl like a real wolf. We think this form of life will lead us approach our Moon Goddess.
On the other hand, there is another part who lived in the city. Most of the time, they lived as a human. Some of them even have a career in the human society. They rarely turn into wolves. Most of the time, they wear suits and ties and have fancy parties. In their words, werewolves are just a part of who they are. The closer you get to humans, the more advanced you get.
Our life doesn't have many connection. I really like my lifestyle, being a werewolf, I like to run freely. But I am also longing for human life. I've always wanted to see another part of the pack. But I'm sure they'd despise me for being a little wolf from the woods.
So, for the first time in weeks, I turned to human again because my best friend told me that there is a big party in that part and they need many waitresses. So my best friend Sandy and I decided to give it a shot.
"Hey, Lana. You're here. God, put some clothes on." Sandy found me beside the lake and covered her eye when she saw me naked.
Actually, as a werewolf, the time we turned to wolf, our clothes are torn apart. So most of the time, I don't wear anything when I shift.
"Sandy, hey! I didn't carry any clothes with me. Do you have any extra?" I asked.
"How am I supposed to have extra? Just wait in here. I will bring you some." she said and rushed to her house.
The time when I was waiting for Sandy, I heard someone's coming. Since I didn't wear anything, I decided to hide behind a tree.
"Oh My Gosh, how do those wolves live in here. It's full of mud and leaves." a blond girl said.
"Yes, I can not imagine that." the other girl said.
They looked very pretty. The blonde girl's hair cascaded down to her waist. She has a very good figure. Her skin looks smooth. Nothing like my rough skin from running too much. The other girl was equally beautiful. I could smell their perfume from a distance, something we rarely use here. The scent will frighten the deer, and they'll run away before we can start hunting.They were wearing perfect makeup and a silk dress. It doesn't seem to come from our part of the world.
At that time, Sandy came back with a shirt and a jean. She called me to put on my clothes.
The two girls heard Sandy's voice. They stopped and look for the source of the sound. Sandy kindly asked them if they needed help. However,they were very dismissive.
"We're here to finish our werewolf observation assignment," they said
"Aren't you werewolves?" Sandy asked. Because we're so hidden, it's almost impossible for humans to break in.
"We are, but we're not like you. "One girl giggled
"Not like us?""Yeah, look at your hair. It's all tangled up like straw. You're dressed like a servant of mine. "said the girl with black hair.
"We would never have come to this forest if it hadn't been for our homework. You're the only ones living the original werewolf life, which helps us with our homework. "Said the blonde girl
I can't leave my best friend there alone listening to their sarcasm.
So I stood up to Sandy and said, 'Enough, you two. "
The blonde girl was clearly intimidated by my naked state.
"Is this your thing? I've only heard of werewolves turning naked, but I didn't know you were actually like that."the girl with black hair said."Did you wear tight dresses when you changed? "Sandy said
"At least we don't walk naked into the woods."Sandy handed me my clothes and I quickly put them on. I don't know why I'm a little embarrassed. Not just because they saw me naked, but because they laughed at our lifestyle.
As soon as I got dressed, blond girl started her talk show again. Are you going to the "Unpop club", dressed like that? "
I look at my shirt and jeans. They are certainly not as gorgeous as her satin dress, but comfort is the most important in jungle life
"Where have you two been? Tim and I have been finding you everywhere." a tall and handsome man came out and asked.
The moment I saw him, I felt everyone around me disappear. My senses were magnified. The smell of the forest became more intense, the sound of the lake more distinct. His face seemed familiar. I have a strong desire. I felt as if I had entered another world.
"Sebastian, you came, look what we found, two wolves." the girl said.
Sebastian? That's his name?
He looked at us, the time our eyes met, there was a strong power pulling our closer. I thought I saw a strange light in his eyes. I wonder if he shares the same feelings as me.
His eyebrow frowned and said, "Don leave the team. Julie."
"OK, let's get back. The stink smell's killing me."the blonde, Julie said so.
Sebastian gave me a glance before he left.
"Those city wolf, right?" Sandy said.
"So arrogant." I said. Thinking about Sebastian, I continued, "Did you see that man?"
"Which one, Lana?"
"The taller one."
"Yeah, he's hot. Isn't he?"Sandy said.
"Just hot?Did you have other feelings when you look at him?" I asked.
"What feeling?" Sandy was clearly confused.
"Nothing."I murmured.
That night, I was thinking about Sebastian, his face and his voice. I was haunted by the feeling I had when I met him. I wonder if he is my mate.
But for decades, ever since the pack split into two parts, most people have found mates in their own part. So I don't think it's possible. But how do I explain the amazing feeling I had when I saw Sebastian?
That night, not surprisingly, I had a dream about Sebastian, and in the dream, he walked up to me and took my hand. He tried to kiss me and I was so shy that I turned him down. But that mysterious force drives us closer to each other. We kissed.I looked at him and he looked at me. We couldn't help hugging each other. For a moment, I felt like I was in his part. I lived a human life there, and I didn't run through the woods much anymore. I wore the same dress as Julie and went to those fancy parties.
Suddenly,a loud knock on the door woke me up. I even felt a little sad that my dreams had been interrupted.
"Lana, hurry up, we're going to audition for a job as a party waitress." Sandy ran to me and said
Oh, my God. I almost forgot about it. I pull out my shirt and jeans, but then I think about the way Julie insulted me yesterday. I changed into a lavender dress. I looked at myself in the mirror and, to be honest, I didn't really fit in a dress. Running has made me very muscular, and my arms are a bit thick, which doesn't look good in this dress. I changed back into my jeans.
"That is the typical Lana." Sandy said.
After getting ready, we set out. We went to the place for the interview. There, I saw many of our young people waiting. Then a man in a suit appeared, picked up a microphone and said
"Welcome to the interview, we are very happy to meet you young energetic people." This man has good manners and looks like someone who has lived in that part of the world for a long time.
We divided into male and female teams at his request. The first step is to check our height.
"Alpha wants our waiters to be about the same height." The man said
"That's very strict." Sandy whispered beside me.
Luckily Sandy and I were of the right height. The next step was to check if we know some of the basics of reception etiquette.
To be honest, I'm not an expert. But I've always been interested the activity in that part So, I learned something, too. The man in the suit was surprised by my knowlege about the party. In this way, Sandy and I passed the interview smoothly.
Next, we came to a room.
"Please wait a moment. The son of our Alpha Claus will be here later to tell you something ."
A few minutes later, a tall man came in. He turned his back to us. But my heart began to burn again. I felt everything around me disappear. He was the only person I could see.
I know. It's Sebastian. He's Alpha's son?
Sandy saw something wrong with me. She asked me, "Are you all right? What happened? "
I pointed to the man and said," He's Sebastian, Alpha's son."Sandy was shocked, too. But she was shocked that I could recognize him from the back.
When Sebastian turned around, he didn't immediately recognize me. But I can see his frown, and I was sure Sebastian can sense my presence. I'm here.
"Hi, I'm Sebastian. It's good to see you all." He walked up to the front and said softly
I heard some girls whisper, "He's so handsome." "He's a tall, handsome alpha of the future."
I don't know why I'm feeling jealous.
"Next, I will introduce you to the process of the party."
Sebastian explained everything carefully. He looked at us every now and then. But he didn't see me standing there.
His gentle voice brought me back to the dream I had last night, his kisses, his touch, and I wished it were true.
"I'd like to introduce you to my girlfriend, Julie. She's going to give you the details "
What? Julie, that blonde bitch is Sebastian's girlfriend?
Then I confirmed that he couldn't be my mate. Julie is.
On the one hand, I was shocked that they're mates, and on the other hand, I'm a little confused about my feelings for Sebastian.
If Sebastian is not my mate, then why do I feel different every time I see him?
After the interview, Sandy was very happy. She was looking forward to life there as much as I was. In fact, over the years, some of us would choose to pack that part of life. But people over there look down on werewolves from my part of the world.
So these people can only do low-level work.
"We finally got a chance to see that section." Sandy said excitedly.
"Yeah," I said curtly
"What's the matter with you, Lana? "Sandy said." You've been absent-minded all day. "
'Nothing, I think... don't...just don't overreact, OK?"I love Sandy, but she does get excited sometimes. "I'm not sure. I might have found my mate."
"Are you serious? Who is he? Why didn't you tell me? When did you find him? Does he know? Did you kiss?" Sandy gave me a barrage of questions
"To be honest, Sandy, I'm not sure. I'm not sure right now." I said,
"What are you not sure about?"
"Sandy, do you know what it's like to find your mate?"
"I.. I don't know. You know, I didn't find my mate. But I heard that when you find your mate, you feel like he's the only one in the world and you really want to be close to him. There is also an indefinable heat. "Sandy said,
Hearing her, I felt even more confused, which is exactly how I feel every time I see Sebastian. And I'm sure he feels the same way. But why did he call Julie that bitch his girlfriend?
"Sandy, if a man has a mate, does he have a girlfriend?"
"You know mate was a decision made by Moon Goddess. No one can change it.Even if one has a mate and a girlfriend, there must be no way to resist the decision of Moon Goddess. But he can reject his mate." Sandy said and looked at me carefully. She was holding a leaf on the ground in her hand.
"No? Do you mean you can refuse a mate?" I was surprised to hear what she said.
"You know Amlie, her mate is from that part of our pack, and the guy didn't want to marry Amlie, so he turned him down in public. Unwilling to accept the result, Amlie left the pack and became a rouge. Once we are outside the protection of the group, we are in great danger."After hearing Sandy's explanation, I couldn't help shaking. If Sebastian and I were mates, would he reject me? After all, we are from different parts, and he is the son of Alpha, the future Alpha. He can't accept me. It makes me sad to think of it.
I went home, still thinking about Sebastian. At that time, I heard someone knocking."I'm coming." "I said as I walked.
I opened the door and it was Sebastian!
