Wolves Without Hearts

☙ Chapter 5 ❧

☙ T Y T O ❧

After the group of wolves was dismissed, I examined the wounds that the rogue Alpha inflicted on me. There were several claw marks that probably needed stitches although I heal pretty quickly. Also my back ached after Raivo threw me into the ground. The funny thing was that when I hit the ground, Ignis took over and I got lost somehow.

It was really strange because I wasn't shoved to the back of our mind, it was like I was detached and was watching a whole different scene. The only thing in common was that Raivo was there. Orion and some other wolf were there too, but I didn't recognize the male. He did seem very powerful, almost like an Alpha but his aura was more controlled, like he was trying to conceal his identity. I was standing there and they were circled around me, talking, but I couldn't hear what they were saying.

Soon after their lips stopped moving, the strange male lunged at me and the vision became blurry. Then I was suddenly back in control of my body and Raivo was dead under my paws. I knew Ignis needed to kill him and did just that, but I couldn't shake the feeling that it was a mistake he was dead. I also was very confused about what the whole 'vision' was about.

Something deep inside me told me that whatever I saw happened in the past. That made so many questions whirl around in my mind and I grew dizzy of thinking and headed into my room, deciding to take a shower to clear my head.

I hopped in the bathroom and stripped before stepping in the shower. Once I did, a dizzy spell hit me and I clutched the railing inside the bath.

'Hey are you alright?' Ignis asked, his voice sounding a bit strained.

'Yeah, just dizzy...'  I groaned in reply, before falling onto my knees.

Ignis didn't talk anymore but I felt the area around me grow dark as black dots filled my vision. I tried to shake them away but I soon succumbed to the darkness.

When I woke up I was still in the shower and I couldn't feel Ignis anymore. My body was wrinkled by the water so I just turned it off and exited, wrapping a towel around my hips after drying my torso. I didn't bother worrying about Ignis because I knew he would come back eventually, he always did. Every once in awhile he vanishes but I suppose that had been back when I was a young Omega, about 17 to be exact. He was lost for awhile and when he came back he said he had no idea where he had gone. The pack doctor, who secretly visited me, told me that he was dormant due to trauma.

"Oh Ignis," I muttered aloud, getting dressed in a loose t-shirt and some jeans, "Why do you leave at the worst of times? Hmm?"

I received no answer, only silence. That definitely wasn't good, especially since I just remembered I have to challenge the head warrior for a spot in the pack other than Omega. I could've just gone the easy way and ask for hunter or tracker, but I just felt so overconfident after killing Raivo. Now I was scared out of my mind since my wolf disappeared. I mean how could someone not freak out once their wolf up and leaves them before a fight? I always rely somewhat on his strength to push me through but it looks like I'm on my own. At least I don't have to kill someone.

'Hey Tyto!' came a shout from within my head, disrupting my thoughts.

I jumped back, a bit startled but soon recovered as I realized it was just Sol mind linking me, 'Uh, hi Sol. What do you need?'

Sol chuckled at the other end, 'It's dinner time, you are required to attend since you killed Raivo.'

I sighed and ran a hand through my brown hair, 'Yeah sure, be down soon, alright?'
