Wolf Spirit

3 • Just Another Normal Day? Pt I •

I had just made a cooked breakfast for the whole pack that came with plenty of complaining about how "My baby brother could've made better food than this!" And "This tastes like it came from a bin - what is it even meant to be anyway?" I am now sitting in my room, wondering why they treat me the way they do knowing that it's not my fault I was abandoned here at the age of four. I don't blame my parents - especially after the dream I've just had. Maybe they did it to keep me safe from whatever was happening then. To be honest it reminded me a lot of a war that went on between the Royal Wolves that held unimaginable powers and the rogues who didn't like them, so they destroyed them all. Apparently no one knows to this day what actually happened to the royals, everyone just assumes that they are dead. I'm surprised the werewolves didn't make more of an effort to look for them, I mean, it was their royal family that protected them from danger and made sure they were all treated fairly, surely people would've cared more?

I snapped out of my thoughts, here I am again drifting off into a dream when I shouldn't be. I pull on my school uniform which consists of a black skirt, white blouse and a blazer with a wolf howling embellished on it. Our school is for werewolves only but to humans it looks like just another secondary school, which it is, apart from everyone knows we are werewolves. We are allowed to shift if we need to or get so angry that we can't control our wolves, it is better this way, we don't reveal our secret. We stay in human form most of the time as it is easier to communicate, I long for the day when my wolf will come out, when I will get to see what she looks like. I know that's confusing but my wolf and me are two completely different people sharing one body - I won't meet her though until my wolf is ready to come out, or when I turn 18 which is in two months' time. The 15th of March. When my wolf comes out she will take control of my body and I will shift into her form - a wolf - after this I will eventually change back and take control, I will be able to talk to her whenever I want, it's like having a private voice in my head to talk to.

I glance over at the digital clock on my bedside table it says 7:45 I've got to go and get my lunch. I grab my school bag that's chucked in the corner and quickly put on and tie up my black kickers, I open my door peering out into the hall way. "Phew, no one is ready yet." I whispered, I quickly run down stairs grabbing my lunch from the back of the cupboard, I have to hide it here otherwise one of Queen Bee's friends will take it out of spite. I place it in my rucksack and go back upstairs. I can hear everyone else up here; the members of the blonde brigade are all in their rooms making sure they look their best - more like caking their faces in makeup. Every other normal person that is smart enough avoid their group and like me is in their own room probably doing something to entertain their self like reading, listening to the latest music and doing homework.

I always leave early to avoid being picked on by the rest of the pack, I remember what used to happen when I did leave at the same time as them.

I was walking away from the pack house with The Queens bees behind me. I was starting my first day at secondary school as well as the people behind me. Suddenly a sharp pain had gone through the back of my head I had turned round to find the culprit, all I saw was an apple. Eurghh, why today do they choose to do this? I carried on walking choosing to ignore them, "Hey, fatty!" The Queen bee yelled followed by laughter from her followers. "Why do you even bother coming to school, you obviously have a brain the size of a pea being an omega!" She shouted after me, I snapped at this point "Who do you think you are, saying that? You don't know me, for all you know I could be a royal! I spat at her. She threw her head back cackling "Yeah right, you a royal, that's the best joke I've heard all year!" They all burst out laughing; I sniffed, holding back tears and began to run the rest of the way to school.

I frowned, reliving that memory, it was so upsetting but I made some really good friends that day to my surprise. I walk down the stairs again heading to the front door, I pull it open, only to be met by the icy December rain. I sigh - typical English weather as per usual - not much of a surprise.

Everyone else has their own cars by now; most of us are 17 if not 18. Me being an omega means that I don't get that kind of privilege. I don't really care though, apart from days like today, my wolf side prefers to be outside, it's exercise anyway. At least I'm active; it keeps me stronger - unlike the other she wolves of the pack. Walking through the sea of fancy cars, I finally make it to the end of the drive. I look to the end of the forest path, Skye, one of my best friends will be waiting for me there, me and her always walk to school together, usually with Callie as well but she is visiting her grandparents in Ireland at the moment, she hardly sees them at all. It's so dull without her hyperactive chatter in my ear constantly. She'll be back tomorrow though, thankfully.

I feel nervous today for some reason, I don't know why. I have reached the end of the road and someone squealing reaches my ear "Sophia! You're here, finally!" I look up and laugh, "Skye! You know I can hear you I don't need you squealing in my ear!" She frowns playfully "oops?" She said, we both burst out laughing and hugged. "What took you so long anyway? It wasn't the blonde brigade again was it? She asks concerned, we start to walk.

"I'm fine Skye, I just had an odd dream last night, got distracted and I was late making breakfast, I barely had time to get ready myself. Blondie decided to complain again earlier as well, she looked like she'd had a bath in orange juice though - I had a really hard time trying to keep a straight face. I don't know why she does that anyway, what about the whole natural beauty we get from being a werewolf? Or has she forgotten about that already?" I asked her. Skye snorts "What do you expect her brain has probably shrunk to the size of a raisin with the amount of chemicals she shoves on her face and she's meant to be the Beta's daughter. What a great example to set for your pack." "Yeah well it doesn't say much about my Beta does it?" I state.

"No it doesn't." she replies. I am lost to my thoughts for a moment wondering what really does go through her head. "I would love to know what goes through that head of hers." I sigh.

"No you wouldn't, all it would be is "Oh I've totally got to get another fake tan, don't I look amazing today, my outfit is so amazing right?"

"Who wants to hear that rubbish anyway?" Skye says, after impersonating Queen Bee Elsa's voice.

"Looking forward to school today Skye?" I ask, she snorted.

"Yeah because it's totally the best thing ever isn't it?" Skye comments sarcastically. I hear the chatter of people radiating from inside and outside the school building as we begin to get closer to the school gates. I've always had better hearing then everyone else for some reason; it's just another thing that makes me odd though. "Come on let's go inside Skye." I tell her. Let's hope this is just another normal day.
