The Princess of the Wolves

Chapter 2

I wake to sunlight pouring into my curtains. I sit up rubbing my neck as it tingles from my dream. Heading downstairs humming softly a lullaby, I notice a small package sitting on my island with a note on it.

'Wear this where ever you go milady. It will protect you. K.'

Inside the box is an ornate silver anklet with a small bell on it that makes a very faint chime when I move.

As I put it on I stop. "Wait....K?! I thought I dreamed that!" My hand goes to my neck in shock, then I shake my head clearing it from last night's encounter. I finish putting the anklet on and head out for my morning jog. I go past the park and head to Zecks café. It's a small mom and pop café run by my best friend's parents. Morgan Zecks is a tall broad shouldered guy that looks like he should be a male model. He has dark almost black hair, deep blue eyes that are like a deep pool of crystal blue water. I make my way to the front of the line.

"Hey Mor, ill have my usual. Peppermint tea and a croissant."

"You got it squirt" he says with a laugh. Mor heads to the back and comes out with my order. "So my little angel, you seem distracted. What's flying around in your pretty brunet head of yours?"

"Mor not right now. I need to head to the campus." I look down not able to meet his eyes as he scrutinize me.

"Fine Rae but I will hear about it later. We still on for game night?"

"Yeah sure" I take my to-go bag and pay then head out. I notice a black Audie v8 across the street but I just shrug it off. I jog towards the campus.

I have been attending Princeton University on a full grade scholarship. I wouldn't have been able to get away from every jerk in Huston without it. You see, I was raised by a decent Texas couple but they could protect me from so much. I kept them from knowing about the bullying and torment I went through in school, or about the abusive 'boyfriend' who I just left without breaking up with him. James had left plenty of reminders on my body because I wouldn't give into his wants.

I enter the classroom I am in today for my English class and take my seat in the front row all the way to the left and start to plug in my laptop when I realize the classroom is empty. I go to leave but the door slams shut and won't open as if locked. The weird part is there are no locks on these doors. There is a growling behind me and I slowly turn around to face a huge black wolf with familiar grey eyes.

The only thing I can think of is: How the heck did a wolf get into the school?! There aren't even any wolves in the state!!

I slowly back into a wall but the wolf just keeps following me. Suddenly it lunges at me and bites my ankle and shakes its head violently. I cry out in pain as I fall to the ground as the wolf backs away with something silver in its mouth. When I wake I find myself in a dark, cold room. I try to stand but cant due to the wound on my ankle.

"Well, well, well, the little princess is awake..." An oh so familiar voice says from behind me.

"Just when I thought my week couldn't get worse, You show up. James, when will you learn that I will never be what you want?" I say as calmly as I can.

"Oh, but you are. You were born to be what I want." he sneers "and this time you cant get away" he walks closer to her pinning me to a wall.

"You really think I am defenseless?" I asks faking confidence.

"Oh, i know you are when you cant even stand on your own..." he says before starting to kiss me. It was sloppy and gross, nothing like what i wished my first kiss would be like. suddenly his weight was gone and i collapsed onto the floor.

When i look up i see the mysterious K beating the snot out of James saying "I told you the princess was to be left alone. yet you go and bite her? Dont you see that you just put her in danger at the most crucial part of her life? she will be out for two weeks as she goes through the change. she is now a sitting duck!!"

"I am not the one who bit her!! i showed up and she was bleeding unconscious. do you really think i would be the one who bit her if i was still fully clothed" James shouts breaking free of K's hold "I would never try to speed up the process after what was done to me when i was a kid!"

K nods slowly and walks over to me bandaging the wound. "It will be fine. i will stay with you until this heals up and the change is done"

"what change?! what are you two talking about?!" I ask scared.

they just look at each other before i black out again, this time from blood loss.
