Running With Wolves || 5sos ||

Eighteen

•Alexis•

I woke up with a weird feeling in my stomach and a pounding headache. What the hell happened? All I remember was running towards the forest and then Calum...

I remember him telling me about imprinting? Oh my god. Calum imprinted on me. Me.

Does that mean...no. Does Calum love me? Are we soulmates?

I quickly dismissed those thoughts and got out of bed. I heard the others talking quietly in the living room so I decided to join them.

"What are we gonna do?"

"Well we have to tell her!"

"Why can't she find out herself like the rest of us did?"

What were they talking about? Who did they need to tell? I've never been so confused before. "Guys?" I asked, walking into the room.

They all stood up and looked at me with forced smiles. "How are you feeling Lex? Any different?" Michael asked.

"Michael" Ashton hissed.

I raised my eyebrow at them. "Well yeah, my shoulder and my head are throbbing, I have a weird feeling in my stomach, and now that we're talking about it, my gums are extremely itchy."

Luke and Sky exchanged a look and sighed. Was I missing something? "Guys? What's wrong? What's going on?"

"I think you should talk to Calum." Becca whispered. "He's in his room."

Confused and nervous, I slowly walked to Calum's room and knocked on the door a few times.

"Screw off Michael! I don't wanna talk!" I heard Calum yell from the other side.

"Calum it's Alexis." I said quietly.

I heard shuffling behind the door and when it opened, there stood Calum. In only sweatpants that hung low on his hips. I couldn't help but stare.

Calum cleared his throat and I looked up at him. "Everyone told me to come see you, to talk to you?" I said.

Calum hung his head and sighed. "Yeah come on in."

I sat down on Calum's bed and looked at my hands. "Is it bad?" I asked.

"Yes." Calum said slowly.

"What happened Cal? You can tell me anything." I said as he took a seat next to me on his bed.

"Please don't hate me..."

Oh god, what did he do?

"I-I bit you Alexis...I turned you into a werewolf." He said, hanging his head low.

"You what?!" I screeched. How? Why? When? So I'm not human anymore? What am I going to tell my dad? My coach? My team?

"Alexis please! Calm down or you'll change!" Calum said, gripping my arms.

"Do not touch me Calum. I don't want to be near you right now. At all. I can't believe you would turn me into...into, into one of you." I spat.

Oh shit. Why did I just say that. No no no I just ruined everything!

"Calum. I'm sorry I did-

"Stop. Alexis I get it. I know you didn't mean any of that. I'm sorry, it's just that, when you were hit by that arrow, I thought I was going to lose you and that scared the shit out of me. You were dying and I had to take the risk of turning you. But trust me, I wouldn't change it. Now Alexis, I can be with you." He said grabbing my hand.

I was speechless. Calum wanted to be with me...

I sat there for a while just staring at the ground. My mind was racing and I couldn't speak. So now, I was a werewolf, Calum has imprinted on me, and now my life is in danger even more than it already was.

"Alexis? Please say something." Calum said, as he placed his hand on my thigh.

I looked up at him. "Calum, I don't know what to say. I'm just suddenly a werewolf? It happened that quickly?"

He nodded. "Yes, I can tell, I mean, your eyes are yellow right now. That's an obvious sign that the changing process worked."

"My eyes are yellow?" I asked, blinking a few times.

"Yeah, it happens when a werewolf is either stressed, or their going to change form soon." Calum said with a shrug. "You aren't going to change until tomorrow nights full moon so you're obviously stressed."

You would be stressed to if you were turned into a freaking werewolf. Wait, since Calum's blood is now inside me in a way like it is with the boys...doesn't that mean I'll have some sort of power too?

"Calum..." I said slowly. "Am I going to have some power like Sky and the pack?"

His eyes went wide and he looked confused. "Well, that depends Lex, normally if you have a power, that means you're a powerful wolf. I'm not saying that you may or may not be, it's just that you won't really find out until you change for the first time."

I responded with a quick "oh" and stood up. I just wanted to go for a walk away from everyone. Away from Calum.

"Alexis?"

"Mhm?" I said, not turning around.

"Do you remember what I told you before you were struck with the arrow?" Calum asked and I internally cringed.

Of course I did. I remember it all.

I turned around and flashed him a small smile. "Yeah. Yeah I do."

I guess he was holding in a breath because he blew out a big puff or air. "Thank goodness." He said, walking towards me for a hug.

Well there goes my plan of trying to stay away from him. I mean, if you were in my situation right now, I'm pretty sure you would hug Calum too.

So that's what I did, I hugged him and it felt right, like, really right. It felt as if we were made for each other and to be completely honest, when Calum pulled away, I frowned.

"Cal?" I asked him before he left to go see the others.

"Yeah?"

"What does imprinting feel like?"

Calum smirked. "It's hard to explain how it feels, but I know that when you've imprinted on someone, when you're with them, it just feels right."

I am sorry for the last two chapters! I know I left some people mad because of what I wrote lol. But at least I didn't end this one off on a cliffhanger so you're welcome.

My updates are going to be a little slower since I'm up at my cottage for the next couple of weeks and my computer and phone aren't connected to any wifi.

Anyways! Please comment, vote and share!

Love you guys
