Angelic

3: So sudden

Severus, the packs oracle beckons me into the elders side of the pack house. As we walk together in silence I look around and appreciate the beauty of the old pack house. Before Drake did all the extravagant changes to the pack house. It was a thing of amazement. Alpha Romero used to tell me how his forefathers had built this using cherry wood they imported from the neighbouring pack. When the renovations started, the elders put their hands down. Their part of the Pack house is still the same old one. Even though Alpha Drake was heavily against this, he still allowed them to keep it.

''Severus why did you bring me here?'' I say as I walk into his ritual room, head bowed slightly. A bowl of water and and various salts lined his floor. Magic runes were lined on his shelves. Each rune symbolised a question you could ask to him.

{For example if I take the wealth rune, Severus could answer questions about my financial life.}

Carrying on, he walked past me and sat on his cushion and beckoned me to the opposite side of the bowl.

''Angel, the goddess has told me to summon you without any disruptions, she has a task for you it seems.'' Severus grabbed my hand and pricked my finger with the small knife he had on his belt. After he made the cut, he held my hand over the bowl and let a drop of my blood fall.

'' O dea, ostende te nobis...'' ('oh goddess, show yourself to us...')

I watch as he throws his salt into the bowl and suddenly his eyes turn completely white.

''Angel, I must tell you this before time runs out on us again.'' A woman's voice enters my head. ''Angel, you turn 21 tomorrow and as the clock strikes midnight the bonds will break.''

''Bonds? What bonds?'' Severus/Luna smiles at me and says something that sends shocks to my spine.

''You don't belong here, angel.''

I look at her and speak as my voice breaks. ''What are you talking about?''

''Angel you need to get to that ball no matter what it tak-''

and she's gone. Again.

I have so many questions. What bonds? What did she mean I don't belong here. Surely I am part of this pack, I am a wolf by genetics.

''Angel, you must listen to her. I will help you get to that ball.'' Severus speaks as he shakes his head. ''I think its time you know why you don't belong with us, Angel.'' He tries to carry on speaking but no words come out of his mouth. I look at him strangely.

''What?'' I stare at him as he fights whatever is holding him back.

The guilt flashes across his face and he lowers his head. ''I am sorry, it seems that the spell will not allow me to tell you. You will have to learn tomorrow...

''Angel. This is your new room and the en-suite is just there.''

This looks like a prison cell. The en-suite is literally a small box.

It's really funny that I am treated like this, considering, Cody and Henry- both- have nice bedrooms and proper bathrooms.

''Your room is considerably smaller but alpha has given us strict orders to keep you in this room.'' Cody's eyes glisten with sorrow for me. The smell of pity wafts into my nose. I can sense the source of it. Unfortunately, the source is right next to me.

I try and keep a straight face as I look up to him. ''T-thank y-you.'' I enter the room and go to the barred window overlooking the driveway to the pack house. At least they gave me a window.

I look back and see that Cody is joined by Henry.

''I just came back from the Alpha's office. He has said that we are expecting a very big guest and must prepare the green room for them.''

I look the room one more time and walk out, following them down the hallway.

After a good hours worth of cleaning and setting up. The green room looks spic and span. My arse is hurting after crouching and kneeling to get rid of all the dust from under the tables and chairs. I can feel my muscles cramping up and I would die for a cup of tea. Regrettably, I have to start cooking dinner for the pack house and, said, guest.

The memory of events that happened hours ago are still on my head. What did she mean? What did he mean? What is going on for goddess sake?! I take a deep breath and sigh as I walk to the kitchen.

Just as I put my enchiladas in the oven, I look up to see Drake trying to find me on the opposite end of the kitchen. Oh no, not another problem. I quickly crouch and move around the massive island that currently blocks me from him.

Have you ever seen the Jurassic park movie scene where the kids scramble around the stations to escape the dinosaur? That was my current situation. As I crawled around the counter I could hear Drake calling my name.

''Angeeelll come out, come out baby...''

His voice seemed mocking as he stalked around the kitchen. Much like a parent calling their child.

I peered up just as the door opened and Hara, the packs slut walk in ''Hi Mr Michael's.'' She twiddled with her hair and her stare all sultry. How was she willing to do ... him. Power hungry. I shake my head in disappointment. This retard didn't even realise that Drake left now that he gave his duty away. ''Hello Kasey, What are you doing here?'' I cringed as I saw Drake's eyes turn to her until she was literally pinned to the counter by him. Ew... again. As Drake bent down the kiss her I scrambled out of the open door and kicked it shut behind me.

I hope the enchiladas don't burn, they only have ten minutes more to cook.

I shake my head to try and clear the image of the nasty two. This would mean I have to go ask Henry to take them out for me. As I set out of the pack house I overhear Alpha Zack and the packs messenger speaking.

''He's said that he is coming today.''

''He's early Arthur, we aren't prepared for his visit.''

''Well he is coming -he's adamant that his mate is here.''

Zack followed that with a string of profanities. Just great.

I leave the pack house with an extreme headache and many questions.

HAEPHESTUS

Ready or not... its time to find you...
