Choose - A Werewolf Story by Hailey Archer (the unexpected everything txt) 📖

        Elie's hands stroked August's shoulder as she walked past him to exit his room. Her nearly naked body twisted slightly as she turned around to face him. "I'll be back when you want me back, Baby."

        August shut the door behind her lightly, and then walked to his desk chair. He opened his laptop and stared at the screen. What what he going to do again? Oh, yes. August typed in the name "Sam Arrowson" into Google. The results were a few Facebook pages, but then he came across a picture of a man in a suit, standing in front of a law firm.

        August clicked on the picture. Information about him and his family was listed.

        "Sam Arrowson, a beloved husband and father, passed on June 3rd. His life was celebrated at a private funeral, where legal documents describing the passing of Arrowson Law from Mr. Arrowson to his son were signed and registered."

        "So, the old man is dead." August breathed out. This meant that the man's eldest son, Jake Arrowson, would take over his role as Alpha. Now, all he needed to do was infiltrate their community and scope it out, so that later on they could bombarde them and take over.

        I KNOW that this is short! I was only trying to make a point of this character's personality before beginning the plot, and I also wanted to introduce the reason for so many things. :D

        LOL. Have fun and read on.

        Blue winced as her hand hit the top of her alarm clock, painfully bending her finger. "What did I ever do to you?" She mumbled and pushed the still ringing machine off of her side table. Rolling over in her bed and pulling up the covers caused a throbbing pain to erupt in her hand. She groaned and sat up, already awake - there was no way she would ever be able to fall back asleep. Blue shuffled to her bathroom door, showered, and dressed.

        Downstairs, the breakfast that was waiting for her was covered with a napkin, the steam from her food soaking it. She took it off and let out a quiet chirp of excitement. Oatmeal with raisins, her favorite. Blue ate quickly and went to grab her bag, but when she leaned over, the throbbing pain in her finger spread and she was ignited. She fell onto the floor screaming. The pain quickly turned into something she didn't understand, hunger. The Hunger.

        Her wolf threatened to break out of her, so Blue clutched her stomach and squeezed her eyes shut. She held on to her human form and the pain stopped. She stood and cleaned up her mess. No one came to look for her when she had yelled, and that meant that she was alone.

        She closed the front door and she locked it with her key. Suddenly, like before, Blue's body shivered with pain and it erupted into flashing convulsions.

        "Mate." Her wolf said, or rather, thought. Of course, she had recently turned eighteen, and her wolf would be looking for a mate. "Mate." It thought again, and she stood quickly.

        Blue welcomed the strength of her primal side and felt it returning to her. "Mate." That single word caused her to take off. Blue knew where she was going, and so did her wolf.

        Her shoes flopped loudly under her, so she paused briefly to take them off, and then began to run barefooted on the pavement.

        "Mate."

        A few of her pack members looked at  Blue in suspision, but they must have seen something in her eyes because a couple of them nodded to her and said, "Congratulations."

        "Mate."

        "Mate!" Blue shouted and the people staring at her blurred. Her highschool came into view. She ran through the hallway and yanked the clinic doors open. When she peered inside, she saw that a boy was shuddering on the clinic's bed.

        At the sound of her entering, he looked over at Blue. His yellow eyes changed back into a human color, a brown so light they were almost the same as his wolf's. "Mate." He said, his voice was smooth and his mouth moved so beautifully, she would have cried out if her wolf hadn't been in control at the time.

        "Mate." She replied.

        He stopped shaking, and the pain stopped for her, too. Her one and only stood up, his lean figure was a half a foot taller than hers. She looked up at those eyes and smirked. "Pretty eyes."

        He chuckled and said, "Yours are violet, how did that come to be?" She shrugged her shoulders and asked him for his phone number. "We don't need cell phones to talk, Purple."

        "My name's Blue." She replied, suprising herself. Each werewolf couple shared a different bond, she guessed this was theirs.

        "Interesting," Was all he said.

        The walk to her lunch table was great, she was elated at having found her mate and everyone knew what had happened. - She went to a private school for only their pack's teenage community so as not to alert any humans of a Hunger-crazed werewolf hunting for his or her soulmate. No, that just wouldn't do. - Everybody in the cafeteria looked at Blue, some of them happily with their own mates and some of them jealously, without anyone.

        Blue sat with her group of friends and Jace, he had told her his name on their walk here, sat down next to her. "Oh my gosh!" One of her closest friends, Kaiian, mocked. His faces scrunched up in fake jealousy. "Look at that girl, so happy!" He was making fun of the girls at the table next to them, not one of them had gone through the Hunger. They all cracked up, except Jace, who raise an eyebrow in confusion.

        Obviously, they weren't close yet. They had just met, and though she was sure they would spend the rest of our lives together, Blue needed to get to know him better. But the first couple weeks after finding your mate, you were inseperable. If you weren't at eachothers sides for the majority of the time, awful pain would flow throughout your entire body and shut it down. She guessed this was the anatomy of a Werewolf, built horribly, but with the intent to make sure mating occured. Though, there wouldn't be any mating happening anytime soon.

        "B?" Aaron, Julia's mate, asked from across the table, "Lost in thought?" He chuckled.

        She smiled at his nickname for her and retorted, "Hey, at least I didn't skip classes doing who-knows-what in a car."

        Aaron's face blushed and he muttered something about wolf instincts. Julia heard him and laughed a little, shaking her head nonchalantly to let Blue know it wasn't anything bad about her.

        She looked over at Jace, who appeared very uncomfortable.

        "Do you want me to sit at your table?" she asked him.

        He looked over at me sheepishly and she picked up her lunch."Guys, I'm going to sit at Jace's table, alright?" They all nodded their heads, understanding, and continued their conversation.

        The walk to his seat was short, they went to the middle of the cafeteria and he sat down at the Alpha's table. "Jace!" she hissed, not knowing who he thought he was. Omegas could sit anywhere they wanted. Except for the Alpha's table. Jace looked at she, a smile playing on his lips. He was amused! Who did he think he was? She tried to grab his arm, but he gently tugged her to sit down. The Alpha sat on the other side of Jace and Blue froze standing in midair.

        "Uh... I... um..." She said uninteligently, he raised an eyebrow just like Jace had done. His eyes were almost lupine, a shade darker that her mates. "Oh." She whispered. Her mate was a Beta.

        "Sit, Purple." Jace hummed, his voice like music.

        She did, well, she would do anything for her mate - especially when he called her Purple - Whether they wanted it or not, in time they would still be together. "So..." She pondered aloud, "Your brother's..."

        "Alpha." Blue's leader's deep voice resonated across the table to her. Her lupine ears heard the tapping of his fingers on his thigh, he wanted to get this introduction over with. "Come to my house tonight. Jace will be there, the bonfire is going to be lit at eleven."

        Blue looked over to Jace, who smiled back at her. "So, my mate is Beta - the second most powerful wolf in our pack." She thought, to her own self that time.

        "What?!" Blue's mom shrieked from across the table, her excitable nature making her father laugh. "He is Beta?!"

        "Congratulations on finding your mate, Blue. I'm proud to say that I know the kid." Her father, charged with the security of their community, often met with the leading family. "He is a fine boy."

        Blue's mother smiled happily and scurried to her room, no doubt to call everyone with a phone to brag. Her father chuckled and stood from the dinner table. Blue stood along with her brother, who was busy texting his mate. He nearly walked into a wall.

        "When are you going to move out, son?" Her father's joke fell on deaf ears, though.

        Blue gathered the plates and did the dishes, wistfully thinking of the
