Chapter 3 - Hetitage unfolded

I scoot over to lean against the wall prepared for a long story. "Okay... So us werewolves...we first showed up in the Indian tribes, that's as far back a we can remember. Legend has it that there was a wolf named Fenrir who fell in love with a human name noah. He wanted to be like him but there was no other way. Then one day a witch came along and tricked Fenrir. Give up his future children for a chance to be like his beloved noah." I nod pushing my knees up to my chest and resting my chin ontop of them.

"So Fenrir agreed of course. He had no need of children if he were going to take on a male partner then they wouldn't have Children togther anyway. So he thought he had outsmarted the witch but he had not been thinking about all the other wolves he had been with since then. He had no way of knowing if he had children or not. So the witch cast a spell allowing him to shift into a human and Fenrir was happier then he'd even been in his whole life. He had gotten what he's always wanted without having to give up a single thing. But that's where he was wrong," Erik tells me leaning forward elbows on his knees as if in concentration.

"He had, had three relationships were he had been a father and now 5 children. He knew not if those five children. But the witch did. So one by one she and to the children and told ten of the father that had done this to them. The small pup cowered in fright as the witch cursed them to remain human forever." I gasp lower lip poking out a bit feeling bad for the poor wolves. Erik nodded running a hand through his curly hair. "What happened next?" I whispered eager to know more.

Erik nodded and continued. "One mother heard of the treacherous things the witch was doing and took her small pup with her into the night in search of Fenrir all the while hiding from the witch. Months went by and the mother finally found Fenrir by chance while he was hunting in wolf form with his partner Noah. The mother told him of what happened and Fenrir shifted into human form telling his mate that had to do something of course but they were madly in love they didn't want to give each other up. But then Noah's mate had and idea." I lean forward intrigued by the story.

"Noah's didn't tell Fenrir of his plan for fear his gorgeous wolf would tell him no and then went in search of the witch. He found her within a fortnight an told the witch that he would be a wolf part time if she let the children be wolves again. The witch shook her head and made a different deal. They would be what he would be. He thought about it. He knew it was selfish but he didn't want to be a full wolf so he told her he'd be a werewolf like Fenrir and so she cursed Fenrir's children to be werewolves which I you ask me was completely stupid because they could be wolf as long as they want to."

I leaned back. "So you expect me to believe that your a werewolf because a wolf fell in love with a human a long time ago and your, what? One of his descendants?" Erik nods and I scoff. Oh geez what had I gotten myself into with these guys.

I hear footsteps coming and turn to see Justin in the doorway fuming. Ah oh. "I thought I told you to stay I my room." He says angrily and I shrug. I got bored. "Can I see your wolf?" I ask him and the question catches him off gaurd. "We'll I assume your a descendant of Fenrir right, so you must be a werewolf." Justin mouth drops open like a fish out of water he sucks in a breath.

"Danggit Erik you ruin everything!" Justin shouts angrily. "Why couldn't you have just stayed out of my business for once. Erik blinks and shrugs pulling me into his lap. I tremble kinda afraid of what would happen next as the wolf pulled me to his chest. "Mmmmm this human smells good I might just take a bite." He tells Justin who is frozen as Erik leans his chin on my shoulder. I stay perfectly still. I didn't think Erik would hurt me but I didn't know why he. Was doing this either.

"Oh an Evan, another thing is if a wolf bites you and inserts enough venom it can turn you into a werewolf." I stiffen in his lap looking at Erik. "You wouldnt." I say accusingly and he wink. "No I wouldn't I like you as a human anyway." Erik tells me and Justin visibly relaxes." Get your hands off of him." He finally tells Erik and eri kisses my cheek before pushing me into Justin arms. "All you had to do was ask brother." He says then winks at me. "Catch you later hater." I roll my eyes. "Not even in awhile you crocodile." Erik chuckles and Justin leaves the room dragging me towards his.
