The Broken Werewolves: Forbidden Law (BxB)

Chapter 25: Meeting In The Middle Of The Night

Chapter 25
Meeting In The Middle Of The Night 

 Cloud has called a meeting, in the middle of my sleep, in the middle of the night. There were million things running in my head when Perry decided to throw some pebbles on my room's window. I thought Perry was just messing with me, but when I opened the window, I saw he had a serious expression on his face, the kind of face you wear when something bad is going to happen, and you know it. Something like that. And now, I'm standing in a room, where the werewolves are standing up groggily (except Marcus and Perry, who have mastered keeping a blank face at everything). Cloud has called up a meeting, and he's the only person who's not here in this room.

My legs are practically shaking. Not out of fear, but cold. I'm wearing my pajamas, not the thick ones, but the thinner ones, so the cold can really seep into it easily. I can't believe I'm wearing my pajamas just for this meeting. My eyes scan the area, realizing that I'm looking for one specific guy, and he's the only person who's not here. I try thinking that it's only because I just want to have this meeting done. I'm not even part of the pack anymore. I think I never did, and never will. But despite giving myself a reason to believe that I want to have this meeting done as soon as possible, I find myself not believing it at all. That fact makes me want to be angry at myself, but that would be a big rub on my face. The best thing I can do is to ignore everything and pray this meeting would be glory as heaven.

Finally, Cloud comes walking into the room, his hair slightly disheveled, as if he's been running his big fingers through his hair. He has small bags underneath his eyes, but despite that, he still looks good and cannot be considered a flaw. When he's standing now in front of the room, his eyes, like a lazer that can make people turn into ash, grace the room and find mine, and as soon as those eyes hold mine, I feel like my heart has gained pounds, and it feels heavy in me, and is blazing fire. I flush, squirming a bit when his stare becomes a bit darker and warmer and softer.

Marcus and Perry stand beside Cloud, clapping his back and Cloud's gaze on mine breaks, to look at both of them. I want to hide myself behind the bodies before me. This meeting is taking too long, and it hasn't even started yet. I gulp, suddenly uncomfortable of everything. I have never been part of a meeting before, even back at the past. So this meeting is pretty new to me. Everything is new to me.

The last meeting I've been to, though it was not really a meeting but a humuliation day, was the day of discovering Cloud and I were mates. Funny. Not.

I push it out of my mind, the horrible memory, so I won't be in distressed, but knowing myself, sooner or later, I'd remember that later.

Cloud is wearing a black jacket, a blank pants, and a blank shoes, his hands equipped with black gloves. Seeing him wear those, it's like he's one of the assassins in Asian cultures or something. Though that outfit is not really an Asian thing.

"I'm sorry I called up a meeting in the middle of the night," begins Cloud as he eyes everyone in the room, and so that's when I hide again. I hate having Cloud's eyes on me, trained on me. I hate that. "And I hate to break it to you guys, but this is important. No more chitchats, direct to the point, there has been an attack in the northern part. Our brothers. They have been slaughtered, pups murdered, no one survived." My breath hitches, heart beating so fast. Pups murdered. No one survived. That is horrible. Those kids are basically the future of our kind, of their kind. The face of each person in the room has a scared and shock expression, as they process what the Alpha has just said seconds ago. Even mine cannot be hidden. "There has been an investigation going on, and we're not going to stop until we find what caused it, and who did it. Just want to let you know that I'm not scaring everyone, but I just want you to have an information, to be cautious more, those culprits, I know that it's a Rogues doing."
