Secrecy (Wyatt Lykensen x reader)

Chapter Eleven: Please Vote For Us

A/N: Ok! I'm back! Finally.. Anyways it's been a while, sorry. Hopefully this chapter will be good enough to redeem my absence. Enjoy!

        We were on our way to win over the wolves, Zoe had joined us, I was a bit nervous. Eliza and I were slowed behind Zed, chatting, when Zed turned around to face us,

        "Ok, guys, this is it. Win the wolves' vote,"

        "Win the election," Eliza finished. We all took a deep breath. We were all a little nervous. We only have one chance, one chance to make things better. If Zed won, this could mean something great for zombies, not just now, but for zombies to come. Seabrook might finally change.

        We all took our steps towards the wolves, who seemed to be talking about something important by the way they were huddle together. I even heard the curly haired wolf, whose name I learned was Willa, say

        "Useless! None of these history books say where the moonstone is hidden."  

        The more we neared the wolves, the more nervous I felt. And once we came into the wolves' attention, it didn't help my nerves when I noticed Wyatt not breaking eye contact with me. We arrived at the table they we crowded at, and I nudged Zed to start speaking.

        "Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Zed, zombie, football start, presidential.. hopeful," he said whilst holding out his hand for them to shake... which, of course, none of them did. So Eliza stepped in,

        "When zombies first came to Seabrook, we were outsiders too. Which is why you need a great president, like Zed, to represent you!" 

        "We'd be.. really honored if you guys joined us. It could mean a lot for the future of Seabrook," I added, taking a glance at Wyatt, still staring at me intensely. Odd.

        "Our pack is our pack. We don't need anyone else, so..." one wolf said, Wynter, supposedly.

        "Who doesn't want more friends? Underneath all that fluffy hair, I bet you're a real softie," Zoe said.

        "I am a mean, mean werewolf kid. I am tough and rough."

        "Aww you said 'ruff,' like a sweet little puppy dog. 'Ruff, ruff!'"

        "We are beasts of the forest we will never be tamed!-" Wynter stopped herself when Zoe began to scratch beneath her ear, "oh boy, oh wow that's great." She made eye contact with Willa and her smile dropped, "sorry."

       "We're nothing like you zombies," Willa snarled, whilst standing up. 

        "You sort of are. You're necklace is powered, right? Kind of like and organic z-band.." Eliza said.

       "You're smarter than he looks," Willa huffed.

        "Thanks."

        "That necklace keeps you from fully wolfing out?" Zed tried to touch the necklace but his hand was slapped by Willa, making me let out a tiny laugh.

        "The opposite," Willa and I both said, causing her to snap her head towards me and narrow her eyes even further.

        "Our moonstone makes us our true werewolf selves," she continued and slowly turned her head back to face Zed. 

        "So, without it you'd be human?" Zed asked. Before she responded, Willa turned back to face me,

        "No. We'd die.. we'd be nothing." 

        "Imagine how alive you'd feel if you didn't have to tamp things down, hold back your true selves," Wyatt said, finally breaking his gaze on me.

        "Actually, I have this theory that zombies might've evolved beyond their need for z-bands," Eliza commented and Sed gave a weird uncomfortable laugh, that was way louder than necessary. 

        "Z-bands are GREAT. They help you fit in and I think you guys would have a much better time at Seabrook if you just follows in our footsteps." I gave Zed a look that scream 'what the fuck?! That was so rude..'

        "Join a club, play foot ball," he pointed to Wynter, "I'll even teach you how too tackle. Just lighten up. Be more like us."
