Sunrise or Midnight by Kate Brown (bookreader TXT) 📖

out on my way over to Kota. When I finally reached him I grabbed the stake in his leg and pulled he screamed so loud it made me gasp.

"You ok"

"I've been better"

"Ok one more you ready"

"Might as well surprise me"

I grabbed it and pulled he screamed again. I pulled him up onto my back he was bleeding pretty bad I climbed up the hole this time it was harder because Kota was not light and I lost my footing a couple of times too and almost fell back in.

"Will grab him, but be careful"

I saw Will bend down and grab Kota by his shirt collar and slowly pulled him up. I got the rest of my way up and looked at Kota he was laying limp on the ground. I pulled him up on my back and then took off at a jog trying not to move to fast. Before I exited the woods I made sure no one was out by our camper or on the rode and I ran for the door I got it opened and layed Kota on his bed I didn't care about the sheets I got his shirt and shorts off. I got the first aid kit and I got to work by the time I got it all cleaned out and stitched up he had passed out. I got him taped up, I went outside when I was done to get some fresh air William was sitting right by the door.

"I wish you were human right now because I could really use a hug"

He whined at me and layed his head on my lap. I started to cry and I slide down the side of the truck and hid my face. I sat there for an hour and cried it started to rain so we got up and went into the camper Kota was still laying on his bed is chest barley rising. I crawled up on the bed and grabbed my pillow and moved it to the foot of the bed and before I knew it I was sleeping. When I woke from the rain and thunder being so loud I noticed William was back in human form covered in sweat shaking on the floor.

"William" I got up and practically fell on the floor and pulled him close to me.

"I'm so glad you turned back"

"I never thought I would be able too their for awhile. How's Kota"

"I'm not sure he hasn't woke up yet that I know of, I fell asleep"

"Yea I know I was watching you"

"Your sweet" next thing I felt his lips on mine and he picked up and laid me down on the bed. He kissed my lips then my neck he took my shirt off because it looked like it got in the way he kissed the inside of my breast, then my stomach. I giggled because it tickled, I grabbed his face and pulled it up to mine and kissed him again and again I got him on his back and layed down on top of him, I kissed his chest. His manhood was pushed against me and I smiled. Then I heard a gasp, I sat up and turned toward Kota. He was moving his head around and I saw his fingers twitching and his toes which made me smile. I got up off the bed and walked toward him.

"Kota, it's alright I'm here" I touched the side of his face he growled and whipped his head toward me his eyes were that beautiful blue grey. I felt arms wrap around me from behind and pulled me off my feet.

"He's about to turn stay back"

"He needs my help Will"

"If he hurts you, he'll never forgive himself. I know I wouldn't"

"I will be fine" I tried to get out of his grasp but he wouldn't budge.

I turned toward William.

"I'm sorry"

"Sorry for what"

Then I elbowed him in the gut and got onto Kota'a bed and picked his head up and put it in my lap. I looked up at William and he seemed shocked and hurt at the same time. I touched Kota's face softly he turned his head into my hand then he started to shake he gasped and withered in pain then he just exploded into wolf form and that's all I remember.

POV
William

I had pulled her back from Kota to keep her safe but she didn't want to be safe she wanted to help like always. She turned toward me then she just elbowed me I doubled over and when I looked up she was next to Kota with his head in her lap then it all happened to fast for me to react. She layed there on the bed so limp barely breathing cuts all over her some healing but very slowly.

"How's she doing"

"Not any better but not any worse either it's like she's in a coma but at the same time she responds when I touch her so I know she's not"

"William I'm sorry I had no control my wolf didn't want to be in pain anymore, I would never hurt her you know that right"

"Yes Kota I know that"

I sat down on the bed next to her and just watched her making sure she was still breathing. She took shallow breaths, then screamed out of no where she didn't move when she did just opened her mouth and screamed. That had been the second time she had done that within the last 2 days it made me wonder what was going on in her head right now. Her birthday was a day and a half away. I noticed she had white and red streaks running through her black hair.

POV
Midnight

I layed there I wanted to wake up I wanted to tell them that I was ok but I couldn't my mind and body wouldn't let me I could feel things changing with in me I wondered what I looked like on the outside. Then out of now where I screamed again I tried to hold it in so I wouldn't cause William any pain anymore but I just couldn't anymore. I've been out for 2 days and I know that my birthday is soon and this must be part of my blooming. I still wanted to wake up I tried so hard to open my eyes but nothing I tried making my breathing faster nothing, I even tried to wiggle my toes and fingers still nothing. I screamed again this time I felt a tear run down my cheek. I felt my head being picked up and being put into something soft and warm and I realized my head was in Will's lap. I felt my lips twitch into a smile. I was so happy I was able to show some emotion.

POV
William

She screamed again and I saw a tear run down her cheek, I picked her head up and layed it in my lap so she knew she was safe. Then I saw her smile which made me cry I wanted her to wake up and really smile at me. I stayed like this for hours then I had to get up and go for a walk.

"Kota I'm going for a walk ok need to think"

"I'll keep an eye on her"

"Thanks Kota"

"No problem"

I took off at a run down the road slow at first then faster and faster and before I knew it I was a wolf running as fast and as far as I could. I ran down the Olympic Hwy till I hit North Bay then I just stopped by the shore and listened for animals then I heard some I took off down State Route 105 till I got into the Johns River State Wildlife Area it was late around 11 or so it was as dark as could be outside their we're no stars out to many clouds. It was so peaceful I sat there and listened watched the waves out in the distance come to shore then back out again. I don't know how long I stayed there but the sun started to come up so it had to have been at least 5 hours. So I took off back toward the camp site I arrived shortly after the sun had come up.

I changed back and opened the camper door to see Kota asleep on his bed and Midnight right where she had been when I left last night. The clock said it was 5:30 I wasn't tired but I crawled up into bed and layed down next to Midnight anyway. I fell asleep staring at her beautiful face. I woke to the feeling of someone touching my face I knew it wasn't Kota, I opened my eyes slowly to see Midnight sitting up in front of me her hair had changed again black and white this time no red her eyes were so silver almost white. Nothing else to them but a hint of green they almost looked like wolf eyes.

"KOTA" I screamed

Kota sat up and whipped his head around looking for the danger.

"What is it"

He must have saw Midnight because he smiled until she turned toward him then he growled and not a happy growl either more like a your not trusted growl. I looked at him in question.

"What is it Kota what's wrong"

"She doesn't smell right Will. She's not like what she use to be she has changed"

"What do you mean changed"

"I mean she's like us but not at the same time she has something else living in her other then a wolf"

"What do you mean something else"

"I don't know everything William, we would have to find a tribe leader or a pack somewhere"

"Where could we find something like that"

"Where ever we're heading next I hope"

"Let's head out then"

We packed the camp and left headed toward Quillayute Needles National Wildlife Refugee.

POV
Midnight

I awoke to find William laying next to me I smiled it felt good to be awake and able to move again. I touched his face softly and he awoke smiling up at me, but at the same time he looked really worried, almost scared. He called Kota and they started talking about me even though I was right in front of them. They loaded the horses and everything else up too. They didn't look at me or talk to me, it's like they thought I was about to explode or something. So I went and sat in the truck out of every ones way.

I was listening them move around and talk to each other.

"Where did she go"

"She's in the truck can't you hear her breathing"

"Now that you said something I can, Kota is it always like this even when in human form"

"Yes"

I stopped listening to them because I didn't care anymore, they didn't trust me and I don't know why they didn't. I was still the same person just something happened to me that I couldn't control, or change. I was sitting in the back seat I layed down and closed my eyes, I wasn't tired I just wanted them to think I was asleep. The truck doors opened and then slammed shut. I could feel them looking at me so I tired not to smile. Then the truck started up and we pulled out of the camp grounds and onto the hwy 8 I guessed we drove for 45 minutes and then we pulled off the highway and into what I guessed was a gas station. I sat up and got out of the truck and went into the truck stop to find a restroom. Everyone was staring at me.

I got into the bathroom and looked into the mirror I gasped when I saw my eyes no wonder they didn't want to be by me I looked like I was about to turn into something. I finished in the bathroom and went back out to the truck and climbed into the back seat and layed down again Kota
