The Witch & The Werewolf

Ch. ~2~

[The Werewolf]

~Farron~

Running through the woods as a wolf is calming. All of my pent up energy is released and its just me and the wild. Full moons are the only time all wolves are out at once. It can be crowded in some places but being a royal has its perks. Only royals are allowed to run whenever they want. I think this is the only rule I follow and my father can get very pissed if you don't follow his orders.

'Farron!'

I growled low in my throat when I heard the voice. Of course she would find a way to be allowed out tonight.

'Leave' I wanted to be alone and think about the beauty that has been clouding my thoughts for over a month. But did she listen? Of course not.

'But baby-'

I growled and pounced on her, pinning her small form to the ground.

'You dare ignore a royals wishes?'

'You know you didn't mean what you said this morning.'

'I meant every word and if you don't leave now I will have to explain your death to the council, Jamie.'

I hopped off of her and continued on my way very aware that she had shifted back into her human form.

The only reason she wanted me was because I was a royal and I hated it. I wanted someone to want me for me not because of my soon to be title. But that hope was useless, I've 2 months to find a mate otherwise my father will pick one for me.

I shuddered at the thought. He knew what I wanted in a mate and he disagreed with everything. He thinks I need someone that will do as I say when I say. But I don't know. I want someone that can stand up for themselves and not be such a whiny bitch.

I ran to the lake knowing it was the only place I could get any quiet. I burst through the brush and immediately shifted back into human form. I wanted to swim and not have to dry my fur after.

~Daniella~

I wandered through the forest slowly, making sure no one knew I was here. If I got caught it could mean a beating and I did not want that to happen.

I walked through the brush towards the lake soundlessly, I've been out in the forest so many times its relatively easy

I stopped walking when I heard a splash. No one was out that I could sense, but that didn't mean much seeing as how I couldn't sense Were's. Of course I should have went back to my house but my curiosity got the best of me.

I walked through the brush and ended up by the lake staring at a boy, who was completely naked by the way, as he swam. I stayed silent as I watched, feeling like a complete pervert. He looked familiar but I couldn't place it.

He turned around and I froze. Oh, shit this is not good.

[The Werewolf]

~Farron~

A twig snapped from behind me and I turned. Standing on the bank of the lake was the girl I couldn't get out of my head.

She froze when I turned so she probably recognized me as the prince but what I didn't expect was for her to stay rooted in her place. Usually people run in the opposite direction, especially witches.
