Born to be Alpha

Chapter 8: EREN

I stare blankly into nothingness as my mind floats, thinking about Eden. Ever since nana told me about having two wolves, Eden stopped communicating to me.

"They must be scared." She told me, trying to calm my nerves down.

Eden lied to me?

"Lyca? Are you ok?" I was brought back to reality when I hear Aries talking beside me. He's driving me to school since Mateo and Luca hasn't come back yet from Nana's pack.

"H-huh?" I look at him bewildered, then looked back outside.

"Aries found the answer."

"You knew about Eden?" I asked Aries in a whisper.

He tightens his grip on the steering wheel and he nodded.

"I wasn't sure. So I had to tell Nana Amelia. I had a brief talk to her on the phone when Mateo reached her pack. That's when she ultimately decided to come. No one can confirm about your wolf, I mean wolves, better than her."

"How did you find out?"

"Simon said that the very first case of a parasitic wolf was from Clearwater. I did some reading, and I could not believe it at first. There's only two cases recorded, and the second case sounds like yours. That's why I went to talk to you."

That was the time that I kissed him.

"And you thought I might be the same as that parasitic wolf?"

"Yes."

"How?"

"When you..." he cleared his throat and trailed off, looking for the words to say.

"When I kissed you?" I ask him, my cheeks burning and still looking at a distance.

"Yeah. Your eyes changed. I knew Eden had golden eyes, but they were red."

"You could've seen wrong." I tell him, hoping he'd say yes.

"No. Mateo saw the same set of eyes the night Eden killed Damon."

I have two wolves. It's not Eden's duality, but two wolves inside of me.

"So, what happened to the werewolf with two wolves?"

There was a deafening silence between us.

According to Nana, parasite wolves are wolves that live within a person that they were not meant to be with, for survival. The cause of the last parasite wolf was unknown, but mine has something to do with my birth.

"When you were born, you had a twin." I have always known about this. She was supposed to be named Sella. "She died when you were still in your mother's womb. But her wolf was awakened and survived through you. How it happens is big question mark, but it happened."

Our wolves are the manifestation of us. Who we are and what we are reflects to the character and personality of our wolves.

I can't bear to kill someone. Not even an enemy. I had always been soft hearted. So when Eden killed Damon, I was shocked. If she was indeed a reflection of me, then how did she bring herself to do that?

Things are starting to make sense, but it's getting more complicated.

Aries parked at the very end of the parking lot, first to avoid judgmental gazes from our classmates, second, he was about to tell me something that would change the way I look at things, at my wolves.

"The last person to have a parasitical wolf rejected his wolf." I snap a look at him because of his words.

"You- you can reject your wolf?" I asked in disbelief. I suddenly feel Eden shaking with the words.
