Cursed

Grumpy Lazy Scarly

I was awaken by the rays of the sun coming from my window and by the pounding on my door. I opened my eyes but instantly regretted it when the brightness of the sun greeted me and made my eyes shut again. The pounding did not stop though, it only become harder and harsher.

What's wrong with these people! In this early freakin' morning!

"What!" I practically yelled despite my dry scratchy throat and half asleep soul. I'm not a morning person for pete's sake!

The pounding stop and I heard a very low but a familiar chuckle. Wait, is that... Austin? Then it hit me! He was here! "Good Morning grumpy lazy Scrarley!" he greeted behind the door. I  can practically picture a cocky smirk plastered on his gorgeous face. Damn that face.

"Come in" I replied and force myself into a sitting position.

I heard him turn the knob but it stopped halfway and the door didn't open. "It's locked." He grumbled outside.

I groan in annoyance but stand and walk towards the door, grabbing my robe on my way and wrapping it around my body. I opened my door and greeted him with an annoyed look. He was smiling like a fool but frowned when he noticed my face.
"H-hi?" He stuttered.
"What the heck! What do you want?" I shouted in front of him. I guess he was taken aback by my morning attitude because his eyes widened but hey It's not my fault!

"Always this grumpy huh?" he said mockingly and I rolled my eyes at him.

"It's so early and you're disturbing my sleep!" I said and pouted like a child. He smirked.

"Last time I check it's already ten in the morning and I guess the Alpha told me to get you and oh-" he said and looked at his wrist watch briefly and fake a gasp "-it's 10:23 and he needs you at exactly 10:30 this morning. A. S. A. P." he said.

He was about to step into my room but I was quick to block his way. He pouted, a childlike face he always use to get what he want from me. It always work, but not today. It was my turn to smirk and raised a single brow at him. We keep staring at each other for a couple of seconds before I took a step back and shut the door right into his face. Take that! "Oh, come on Scar!" he whined outside my door, pounding it lightly. "See you later." I dismissed him with a wave of my hand although he can't see me.

Goddess I miss that man.

I immediately rushed into the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. I put my hair in a messy bun and change into jeans and a gray shirt.

I look at my reflection at the mirror and nod at myself, never been better.

I rushed outside my room and into the empty corridors of our pack house. My father's office is in the first floor and at the other side of the house. Using my wolf speed, I run all the way there to get in time. I didn't notice Austin on my way though, not that I was looking for him.                   

Well, maybe I was?

I reached dad's office and I was about to knock but door flew open and Austin stood on the other side of the room, his posture tensed. I walk past him sending him a worried look which he shook his head at and gestured towards my father who is sitting in his usual spot where is at his office chair behind the dark mahogany desk, his hands are clasp together and is wearing a serious expression which made me nervous.

"Father" I said nervously, playing with my hands, a habit of mine when I'm anxious.

"Scarlet.." He took a deep breath and said "Today is your last day, and I'm worried on what will happen today. We don't know whether you will have your wolf and shift. And if you can-" before he can finish whatever he is going to say which is I already memorized for the past two years I cut him off. I know where this talk is going and we've been having it for the last two years! And I also know that today is my last day, no scratch that I totally forgot. But it's not that big deal-okay I know, it is. Not only for me but to all of us.

But still? Can't he just drop it for a day?

"Alpha Dale -" he visibly tensed, I only call him that when I'm pissed off "-I have my wolf inside me, I know it and I'll do my best to push myself to my limit and to released my wolf and to reveal itself, not only for me but to all of us and especially for your wishes. So please just give me this day. I need it, I need time to clear my head. And you always do this. Can you give me that?" I was starting to get angry and is he not tired of this topic?

"Scarlet." he said in a calm deep tone which made me stiffened. "No dad, please, just please drop this. I-I-I'm scared too okay? And I don't know what to do anymore you're always bringing this topic, you always do this and tell me to shift. But I can't. I couldn't, so drop it already! And give me this day to forget about my fucking wolf who doesn't wanna fucking show!" I myself was taken aback by my own out burst and I look up to my father, but all I see is red.
