◇The Hybrid◆

chapter 17

Ryder's POV.

i stop running once i reach the meadow of lavender and sunflowers that i love so much. it's about 2-3 achres of lavender and sunflowers over the ocean hanging on a cliff. it's equally beautiful, exciting and calming. i love this place so much because it remind me of Layla.

i lay in the flowers and rest my head on my midnight black paws. 

i doesn't say anything, i doesn't growl, whimper.. i show no emotion.

i just lay here.

looking over the cliff, staring at the water. studying the waves. 

timing every crash of the waves, wetting the damp sand more when the water splashes down on it. 

i close my eyes and sniff the air.

the sea breeze mixed with the scent of the salt water.

the smell of lilac in the mix.

i tune my ears into the waves. the sound of the water rippling, the waves crashing on the sand, seagulls roaming the air below searching for food. 

i hear the humming of a bee. i open my eyes when i feel the small fuzzy insect land on my nose. 

i stare at it, looking at it's every feature. trying to find what makes it different from all the other bees in the world. 

it has 4 yellow stripes, and 5 black stripes. i little dark brown stinger sticking out of its behind. the black eyes that is way too big for its head. the little strands of fur sticking out of its thorax. the small dark brown antennae sticking out of the top two corners of its head. his six legs propping him up. his clear life saving wings that begin the move at a fast rapid pace as he is lifted off my nose and flies to a nearby sunflower, pollinating it. 

when the bee flies away and out of my vision i close my eyes and focus on all the scents around me.

i am completely relaxed....

.....

. . . 

. . . 

an unusual scent hits my nose. my eyes shoot open, i jump off the ground and get in attack mode.

whoever this dick wolf is, he's going to get his ass kicked for coming near me.

but then i catch another scent.

another wolf.

a girl.

. . .

my girl.

Layla.

i hear her soft voice as they come closer to the meadow.

i quickly dart behind a tree and hide myself in the brush.

i focus on the sound of her voice and her scent.

who is the wolf she is with?

it's not a rogue.

i would've smelled him right away.

it's no one in my pack.

no one from any other packs that the current alpha of our pack has made a treaty with.

no one i have ever smelled before.

but he's deffinitely a wolf.

"can i open my eyes now?" Layla giggles.

"not yet" he says.

wait.

..

i know that voice.
