World of Wolves

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Everyone was getting ready for sleep. We had been forcing ourselves awake till nightfall so we could fall into the same rhythm. No one wanted to wake up in the afternoon and sleep all through the morning. It wasn’t really good to confuse our bodies; at least not anymore than it already has.

Our second night had come here. So far everyone has been coping, but I don’t want to jinx anything, but I feel as if tomorrow is going to be a bad day. Everybody’s stressed and confused, muddled and cautious but most of all sick. Homesick. Something that can be more painful that actually being unwell. All our heart were broken and most were beginning to heal.

Some of the woman had already found their mates. I was happy for them I guess. More puzzled actually that happy. How could they moving on so quickly. Like nothing had really happened. Like the whole bus disaster had happened 2 years ago instead of two days. Some of the woman were acting like nothing ever happened. And it makes me sick to the stomach just thinking about it. Even though my family was messed up, I still wanted to go home to them. Even though I had no one at home that was mine. No boyfriend, no lover, no husband or crush; I was alone. But I didn’t care until now.

One of these werewolves could be my mate, which scared me so much. But I have seen no one really come up to me. No one has. Only a few times did Alisha but no one else. Seth hasn’t even discussed what we had had earlier today. I was frightened that I would be stuck here for the rest of my miserable life. Like; I would never see my home town, or even a road. I was already sick and tired of dust and dirt and fresh air. I wanted fumes, concrete, a structure made from brick and cement molded together to form a house. Oh, God I wanted a house. I wanted to see one. I have been here for so little time and already I was feeling the wrath of home sickness.

I was pulled out of my trance when someone clicked their fingers in front of my face. “You’re not the only one that bites.” I threatened with a smirk plain on my face.

“She speaks!” the person said pulling their hand away. I turned my head to look at the stranger. It had been the boy who had asked me to read. He smiled at me sweetly.

“Yeah, a lot of people do.” I stated.

He laughed and scratched the back  of his head. I knew this look, he wanted to ask me something. Oh my God please don’t tell me I am his mate. I can’t be a 16 year olds mate. I would be a cougar and I just don’t do that type of thing.

“Do you want something?” I asked calmly, mentally crossing my fingers. I held my breath and waited for his response.

He let out a loud breath and stared at me. “Well…um…I was wondering…we were wondering…”

“Spit it out!” I said impatiently though I have to admit, her looked cute when he was nervous.

“If you would read to us again?” he asked clearly embarrassed. He blushed and looked a thte floor like a little kid.

I really wanted to sleep but I probably wouldn’t be able to. And if reading knocked me out like last time, why not again? I stood up and put an arm around his tall shoulder.

“I would love to.” I smiled.

The boy’s face lit up when I said yes. I think he was about to do a happy dance or something. “You will? Oh, that is awesome, dude. Come this way, the guys are going to be stoked.”

The boy led me through the sleeping chamber where people were getting ready for sleep time. Some were already snoring away happily in dream land. I kind of wanted to be there myself.

We came out of a crack and into the fire chamber where I had read and eaten and danced. It was more like a social chamber. Beside the newly lit bonfire was the Twilight book. I smiled. I loved this series and was glad when Seth had picked it. My heart hurt again and I drove away the thought of Seth. Alisha was right I did need to talk to him about my feelings. If I didn’t I would be in more of a mess than I already am. He said he was fine with what I had decided with but I plainly knew that he wanted more. He wouldn’t be able to talk to me comfortably I wouldn’t either knowing that I had a chance and I blew it.
