"Zoe." Michael growls, his eyes glowing with a fierce golden.
I feel almost dizzy for a moment, as all the life drains out of me. I find myself speechless unable to process what the girl was doing here. Ashton looks confused for a moment, but he lets out a small gasp when he realises who she is. He was the only one that hadn't met her, but Michael's words were enough.
The girl steps back from us, a fearful look in her eyes. She looked so much older now, then she had been a few months ago. Perhaps it was just the winged eyeliner? Her hair was neater too. She looked uncertain.
"You stay away from us; don't you think that you've already caused us enough trouble!?" I yell, I was certain for the trembling in my hand that my irises would be glowing with golden. It took everything I had not to go leaping at her, as my feelings re-surfaced. It was pretty much her fault I was a werewolf. If not for Calum, I would've been dead because of her.
She shakes her head, raising her hands in a sign of truce, "Luke, I swear it's not like that. I regret everyday what happened to you and all those other people. Who I was all those months ago, it wasn't me. I was lost and misguided." She sighed, "I'm sorry that you were caught in it."
I backed down a little, she looked genuinely sorry this time, at the very least I didn't think she would hurt me at least not right away. Perhaps she had genuinely changed for the better?
"What changed?" Michael beside me growled, clearly feeling no amount of sympathy towards the girl.
It took her a moment to answer, as Michael and I glared at her expectantly. Ashton, standing between us looked a little lost.
Zoe's eyebrows narrowed as if she was frustrated that she even had to explain herself to Michael anymore after that. "Well I'm part of a pack now, and an Alpha too? After I left your town I ended up here where I met a pack of werewolves that have totally set me out straight." She explained, "I don't need to lash out at the hunters anymore, you were the one that taught me that lesson Luke."
Michael gave me a concerned glance, I don't think he was buying it. Or at least he wanted to leave the decision of how we treated her up to me. He'd tried to help her, and he had been hurt too. His trust in her was no greater than my own.
"I'm glad to hear that." I smiled through my teeth.
Though, perhaps I was happy for her? Last time she had been in a mess. I could just remember her dirt stained light blue hoodie, her wild frizzy hair and sickly pale skin. I could remember that Calum had felt slightly sorry for her, explaining that he understood how she must've felt. Like her he was a natural born, but he'd had the help of his Grandfathers journals and the support of his mother to turn to. Without anyone to turn to, she'd been a mess and had started lashing out at hunters instead. It was a good thing perhaps that she had found other werewolves to help her. I know Michael had tried to help her once, but it hadn't been successful at all.
"Alright now, if you don't mind. We'll be leaving." Michael spoke, pushing on my arm, "Let's go Luke? Ashton?"
Ashton nodded, already turning on his heel. I followed behind him, Michael after.
"But seriously what are you guys doing here?" I hear her question after us.
The three of us turned to face her, she viewed us with a raised eyebrow. I wondered whether we even needed to say anything to her, we didn't owe her an explanation. Yet, a plan began to spring into the back of my mind. If she did have a pack here, then she also had lots of sets of eyes. Some of which, might know something about Calum and his whereabouts. Though were we this desperate to ask Zoe to help us find Calum in time?
