You Will Love Me

chapter 2

Rainbow Fountain

Legend has it as a mystical place for a werewolf. It had some kind of power or magic no one can explain. When you're there, everything seems to amplify. You became faster, stronger, your senses heighten and your wolf becomes one with nature.

Jasmines POV

I was so hyped-up! Barely breathing, my stomach was at war with itself as it produced knights who were doing jumping jacks and free falling inside me, as I kept imagining what my wolf will look like.
My mom's, her wolf, had gray fur, looked like silk from a distance. With bright brown eyes. It was beautiful, especially when she runs.
My dad was pure black, dark as night, with blue ocean eyes. It was strong, dominant, and very protective.
Jake's wolf was more on the obedient side. It had a light shade of black with brown eyes.

I wonder how my wolf will be like, maybe gray, or brown or gray and black or white and black like my grandfather's, with my unmatched eyes.
Yes, I had unmatched eyes. One was brown and the other blue. I think the Moon Goddess wanted me to have both my parents' eye colors. Jake always teased me, calling me two face.
I wonder if everyone's wolf is dominant or has special powers over human forms?

I cleared my throat and look up at my dad "Dad, why aren't their white wolves in our pack?"

He looked surprised by my question and took a minute to answer me.

He said, "they considered white wolves to be of high class not just in our pack but in all packs all over the world. One could call them royalty. Your great-grandfather was a white wolf. He had the power to foresee the future. They ranked our pack at the time highest in the world as no one dared to fight him. One could say white wolves are born leader and will be alphas. your great-grandfather was alpha of the pack at a young age. He was about 10 or 11 years when he became alpha. funny thing is i never heard of two or three of them in one pack".

I gasp, "Do they still exist to this day of age".

He then said, "yes jazzy, the polar pack has a white wolf amongst its ranks I just don't know what his powers are, so they still exist."

he looked up through the rearview mirror to me his eyes reassuring me, "you could be a late bloomer, my baby girl, it sometimes happens, not all werewolves give birth to werewolves, my mother was human, being human doesn't mean the end of the world and stop catastrophizing it does not mean that your a white wolf ".
I felt uncomfortable in my seat; I felt pressure building up in my chest, trying my best not to retaliate.
My mum intervenes knowingly and said, "what your father means is that we love and appreciate you in whatever form you are", then she glares a warning look at my father, who looked at her like he did nothing wrong. I looked back at the window as I comprehend what they said.

Am I human? Maybe that's the reason I haven't shifted. Is the reason I have only human friends at school? Maybe I am human!

We arrived at the hotel Jake is being an ass as always teasing me every chance he got, and my dad stopped making eye contact with me, guess he's afraid my human self won't handle his wolf self since it's clear as day he thinks am human.

I threw myself on the couch by the foyer and slouched low as I played with my new phone. My mum went straight to the reception, so I watched her interacting with the lady working at the reception who was on the phone, ignoring my mum to the best of her ability, I bet mum felt like a useless human like me because she looked back at me in annoyance; I giggled.

She finally helped my mum because I saw her handing her a clipboard to sign. My mum was acting strange because she was checking herself in the mirror behind the receptionist. She looked like she was comparing herself to the young blonde receptionist. My mom was wearing a maxi dress, which didn't compliment her figure at all. She looked fat in it. I can't believe she walked out of the house like that. If I was in her shoes, I would have stayed back and let my dad book us in. As I lost interest in my mom's drama, I glared at my dad. He was standing by the elevator with all our luggage, like he's the porter. He seemed tired and irritated, which made me smile because I realized how old he looked. Guess the training and dealing with his dad was putting a strain on him.

Mom called out to me and Jake, as we made our way to the reception area. Dad was in his little bubble of thoughts. My mom never took me as the responsible one, so she looked straight at Jake. She cleared her throat...

"Jake you guys will share the room opposite us, it's room 507, and we will be at room 502, please do not touch the mini-bar or the extra channels on the TV, and please, please don't order room service beyond the amount we agreed upon... Jake replied with a nod then she faced me and glares at me waiting for a response..." w-what. Me? I giggled, "whatever... okay then," rolling my eyes.

I put my earphones on and blasted AM ONLY HUMAN by RAG'N'BONE MAN and sung along really loud to annoy my dad on our way to our rooms.
As he hands Jake our luggage, I walked past them straight to the bed near the window. I laid there listening to my music, which soothed me to sleep. I woke up after an hour, rubbing my eyes. I looked at Jake, and he looked flashed. I bet he was sex-texting his girlfriend. Completely ignoring Jake's situation, I stood up and went to take a shower.

As I came out with just a towel on and sat on my bed about to put lotion on my body, an idea came to mind. Why wait for tomorrow? Why not go to the roundabout now? I immediately looked at Jake, who was lying on his bed still texting on his phone "Jake" he looks at me agitated "I need a favor." he rolls his eyes at me and said" No".

"But Jake, you promised the best weekend ever for me and what I need from you right now is for my brother to be there for me, no matter what. "
He sat upon his bed and acted like his in deep thought, tapping his index finger on his cheek.

"Um.... two face the answer is still a big fat No"
I stood up and took my clothes to go change into the bathroom. I came out wearing a white loose-fitting t-shirt printed wild thing on it, black skin-tight jeans, and my white converse shoes. Jake was now laying on the bed facing the ceiling. I cleared my throat to get his attention.

"Please don't wait up. If a werewolf from another pack decided I stepped on his toe and he will kill me for it, please don't cry at my funeral because I asked you a favor, and you said no to me."
Jake groans in annoyance. I stumped my foot, then he gives me an annoyed look. Then I continued, "who knows, GOD FORBID one of those wolves is our pack's enemy, and they know I am Marico's granddaughter, they'll properly kidnap me and feed me to the wolves."

He rolls his eyes in such a dramatic way and laughs, then he said "am only doing this cause dad thinks your human" I glanced at him fuming with rage which was building in my chest, "fine can we go to the forest?"

As we were making our way to the forest, everything smelled good. The trees, the flowers, even the soil smelled like heaven. Strolling down the trail towards the forest, keeping my eyes on the ground, I said, "Jake, do you think my wolf will awaken here?" He kept quiet for a little while as if he's searching for the right words to say.

"Maybe two face, you're just overthinking things, and besides being annoying is a superpower."

I brushed it off, thinking maybe being human is not so bad after all...
As we got near the Roundabout point of the forest, I started getting anxious and excited I couldn't wait finally I will meet my wolf if she existed. I looked at Jake with the biggest smile I could ever make on my face "last one, there is a rotten egg with a shit-face" he looked at me calculating my face..." it's on two face"
we started running like two little five-year-olds, Jake ran past me as if I was standing still I shouted at him "no fair JAKE You're USING YOUR ABILITY" he turned around and started running backward, I stopped running and shouted "YOU SUCH A SHOW-OFF... JERK" he smiled and waved at me as if running backward at his speed was a normal thing to do.

I noticed two people from the distance standing a little too close together, and Jake doesn't even sense them behind him, he's so concentrated on me, making his funny faces. Not only that, but I stopped, waiting for him to make a fool of himself. A devilish smile crept on my face and I started counting down the moment he will crush into them 3...2...1.... he bumped into the couple so hard the lady fall hard on the ground with a big THUG screeching in pain, the guy shouts with a growl "YOU IDIOT YOU NEARLY TOOK HER HEAD OFF"
I started laughing so hard tears were rolling down my cheeks.
The man went straight to Jake so fast and violently while his back was facing me and picked him up by his clothes and pinned him to a tree; I got scared and stopped laughing immediately, and I run towards them.
"Please, please sir, he didn't mean it, we were not concentrating on the road "as I was trying to calm the man down, I looked at Jake's face as it turned pale.....he looked at the man who was manhandling him in horror in his eyes then at me and said...dad??
