When Darkness Falls ༄ Wyatt Lykensen

Chapter 8

School was almost over.

School..

Waverly was the first back to the den.

She was sitting against the hard dusty stone wall in her shared room.

It was quiet.. too quiet.  

There were no werewolves racing around, no random howling or fights breaking out. 

She always complained to Wyatt about how loud they were but now she actually missed it. 

The werewolf pulled her knees into her chest and huffed out a frustrated sigh. 

Although, it wasn't much of a sigh. 

It was more like an aggravated growl. 

Sure, she was pissed about joining a school full of humans after not coming in contact with them for years, but there was something else. 

A deep routed anger. 

Of course, she will always have strong feelings about her village's brutal slaughter, but it wasn't that either. 

This was something new, something that caused her to feel an emotion she's never experienced before. 

Jealousy..

She's never gotten jealous. 

There have been plenty of times when she should've felt jealous, seeing how other people lived and took advantage of their privileges after loosing everything, but she never did.  

All she cared about was having a family.. It didn't matter if they were biological or not. 

This pack was her family.  

Waverly pressed her head against the wall and closed her eyes. 

She was in denial. 

Complete denial..

It was obvious what was causing her jealousy. 

It was seeing Wyatt with someone else..

But why?

She's never thought of him like that. 

They've been best friends for as long as she can remember. 

He saved her life after all. 

When he grabbed that girls hand, everything changed. 

Waverly could see the way Wyatt looked at her. The smile on his face.. The the way his heartbeat spiked when their fingers first touched. 

She's never seen him like that before.. he seemed genuinely happy.

He's always so stubborn and headstrong, thinking he can solve any problem that's thrown at him, but today he showed his soft/flirty side with Addison. 

The side Waverly wished he'd express with her. 

"Hey." A stern voice said, interrupting her train of thought. 

Waverly opened her eyes and spotted Willow standing in the entrance to the tunnel. 

"Hey," She said. "Shouldn't you be with the elders?"

The werewolf nodded. "There's not much else I can do.. they're still fading."

Waverly sighed and gently patted the ground beside to her, inviting Willow to join her on the floor. 

She trudged over and slid down the rough wall. 

"I don't know what to do.. everyone is relying on me to help find a cure for this sickness when deep down, they all know I cant do shit." She went on.
