Aura

Home

"AURA!" His voice booms across the desk, making me flinch and look up to his hardened gaze. My fingers fidget under the table while I breathe in slowly. "Y-yes Odeon" I stutter quietly, not meeting his gaze.

My heart is beating rapidly in my chest, practically bursting right onto the table. I'm in deep shit now...It's one thing to piss off your parent, but pissing off your alpha is even worse. I immediately gulp at that thought.

I take a deep breath and look up into his eyes. "I'm sorry alpha... I was just .... I got distracted" I quickly hurried on "with my change coming up in a week.... My mind has just been s-" he cuts me off "Enough, I understand child" he teases lightly with amusement in his voice. He continues on "I was a teenager once myself"

Is this man making a joke?!! He is known as one of the hardest and scariest alpha's of all the surrounding packs.

Our kind determine strength by colouring,the darker the fur of the wolf, the more powerful he/she is. Black fur is the most desirable colour, pack members who have it are all immensely strong.

Odeon is know for his black fur on his face and legs, the rest is grey. For a wolf, that is HUGE. So many of us dream of black fur, yet it seems to be a dying colour, only the oldest bloodlines seem to have it. Most wolves are grey or brown. With my change coming soon, I often wonder what I will turn out to look like.

I glance up to see him staring intently at me. "My grandson Loki, your soon to be mate will be over this week" I groan inwardly " we both feel it would benefit you to receive... Comfort before your change" I snort, the only comfort I find around Loki, is when he leaves me alone.

Odeon is not amused at all, his eyes narrow and his lips form a firm line.

I hastily apologize, and wait for him to dismiss me. After more conversation about Loki, I'm finally given a chance to leave.

I walk through their house and keep my eyes open for Loki, who luckily for me doesn't seem to be around anywhere. After finally reaching the front door, I scurry outside to my car.

I can't help but shiver as the October breeze hits my bare arms, I am only wearing a cream tank top and jeans. My brown hair is loosely curled, a few strands gently covering my face. Once I shift for the first time I won't be affected by the weather nearly as much.

One day, I will be the Luna of this pack... and only for one reason, my eyes. Ever since I was a baby, my eyes have been unique. When I feel any kind of strong emotion, they change colour to a pure silver colour. It freaks strangers out, but according to Odeon, it makes me a desirable mate for Loki. 

Its not that I don't like Loki, truthfully I think he's totally handsome and funny. Buy - his arrogance and loud personality scare me a little. Plus, there's just something about him that I can't place. Something that makes me feel uncomfortable.

I try to ignore these thought and focus on heading home. I hop in my car and after a 20 minute drive, just outside of town sits our home. Mom and I are the only ones out here, it's been just us since my father passed away when I was really little.

When I pull in our lane way I drive slowly, taking in the beautiful pine trees and our gorgeous house sitting in the midst of it all. Our red brick house is full of character, It has a front porch and lots of open beautiful windows.

I quickly park my car besides my moms Mercedes. My mom is the head nurse at the packs local hospital. Everyone in the pack is decently well off, considering the previous elders of our packs had mined the surrounding lands decades ago. They passed their inheritance along through generations. Jobs were full and everyone looked out for each other. My mom was great with her booming job and her inheritance she received from grandma before she passed.

I hear faint sounds from the back yard and head to see what she's up to. My mom is whacking away at wood, cutting it for our wood stove on the house. She's working the late shift tonight, so she's doing all of this for me.

I smile and run into her arms, hugging her tightly. She chuckles and huggs me back, whispering "I Loveyou". I whisper back into her neck. "I love you too" I feel her smile against my cheek.
