Wolf Spirit

10 • Royals Return •

So this has been long due and I'm really sorry about the wait. I'm literally in awe at the moment though, I can't believe I've reached 6000 reads which I totally don't deserve because I haven't updated in so long. It's so amazing seeing all of you vote and add this to your reading lists. I always sit here looking at the notifications and go "Really?! They're voting! I don't deserve this!" Anyway, I'm going to stop talking now because I'm assuming you guys want to start reading. So yeah thank you for everything and read away to your heart's desire! Enjoy! :D

The rest of the week had sped past and before I knew it, it was Friday. I was relieved, it's the last day of the week, and I could escape the madness I've experienced in the last four days.

Apparently, I can't avoid madness for long. This morning I thought nothing out of the ordinary was going to happen, I was at my locker with Skye and Callie. We were laughing amongst each other; secret laughs that were only the result of an inside joke. However, tension had buzzed in the air as we'd awaited today's events. Today wasn't just another day. The rumours Callie had spoken of were true and before we could analyse what this meant, Royal scouts had arrived in the town bringing with them a buzz of hushed whispers; leaving the town resembling an angry swarm of bees.

It wasn't until lunch that I first encountered the scouts and oh how wrong I was when I said that nothing out of the ordinary would happen. Obviously everything I say has to come back to give me a giant kick in the face.

I was walking through the corridor on my way to find Skye and Callie. I began to notice something was wrong as the crowded area started to clear rapidly. The crowd was parting like I was Moses commanding the Red Sea. Everyone was whispering to each other and throwing suspicious glances at me as I passed them. I caught broken parts of conversations filled with whispers that "They mentioned her name", "What do they want with her?" I looked down at the floor - hating the attention.

All of a sudden I walked into a tall figure. "Sorry." I muttered under my breath and continued walking; completely unaware of whom I had bumped into.

I was sat eating lunch with Skye and Callie outside on the school fields when Mia, another girl in my form walked over to us. I smiled at her, Mia being one of the few people I actually liked. She returned the smile. "Hi Sophia, I was asked to send you to reception, you're wanted there for some reason... I have no idea why though." I frowned, confused.

"Really? That's weird. What could they possibly want to talk to me about..?" I trailed off muttering to myself. My friends looked at me just as confused. The school never bother with me; they usually just ignore the abuse I face every day. I grabbed my stuff and said my goodbyes to Skye and Callie, thanking Mia for telling me. I walked away, them shouting goodbyes after me.

I stood nervously outside the office at reception waiting to be called. I'm not the type of person to get into trouble; I hate any attention I receive. Worry surrounded me; what am I being accused of now? I can't take anymore from my pack, soon I'll go insane.

As I was lost in my thoughts I heard a click as the door opened. "Sophia?" My head teacher asked. "Could you enter now, there's someone needing to see you." He left the room and disappeared out of sight. Panic coursed through me at what was waiting for me.

I reluctantly got up and walked through the doorway, then stared, mouth open beyond confused as I saw who was present in the office. The man smiled at me - actually gave me a genuine smile. Now I think about it he looked ecstatic, which isn't surprising considering what he said next.

"Sophia. You're a Wolf Spirit."

I swallowed loudly and stared at him, confusion written all over my face.
