Celestial Wulf Chronicles: Born Necromancer Book # 2

Thom

Dropped the stapler again, damn what the hell is going on with me? I have been fidgety. It was like I was experiencing a form of anxiety. I could not think clearly, and my nerves were wired. KERVAL (my wulf) was no better as I got off the phone with Alex, my job savior. Who agreed to meet me in the parking lot of the building. I smile. When we met, Alex had just discovered he was a witch, thanks to his boyfriend. if I remember correctly, Alex possesses the ability to neutralize or dispel spirits or was it rob someone of their casting ability thru a form of necromancy. Gotta remember to ask him later. In either case, it was thanks to that ability which also saved my ass. To me, he not only was my hero then but has become an awesome friend & confidant.

Recalling that day clearly. It was on the day I was to meet with the previous New York Times editor for an interview, which itself, coincidentally lead to our meeting. Thanks to Alpha, who pulled in a favor with the previous editor in chief of the paper and still ally with our pack. This Alpha made my interview happen, bypassing the regular HR red tape. Unfortunate for me, however, it would be in Pennsylvania, in his territory. A 2hr drive just outside of a town called Shadow Grove. The directions were precise. Yet, while driving to him, he called me saying he would two hours late. An unexpected pack matter came up.

Now, having two hours to kill when I got there. To relax my nerves, I went for a quick run in the surrounding woods. Pulling my car over, I parked took off my clothes and took off. While running I did not see a ditch covered with leaves and fell into it. I couldn't get out and started howling Lucky for me Alex heard me. He had come out for a walk to clear his head, and he came to my rescue. Unlucky for me he happened to come just as I decided to phase and saw it. Catching me while phasing from wulf to human.

 At that moment it happened, he did not say a word. Instead, after talking for a while and me making up a story of how I got stuck. When I realized the time, I told him I had to rush and get to the interview. He gave me his number and told me to call him, so we could keep talking. I thought it was a nice gesture and did the same. After acing the interview, I called him, and we arranged a time and place to meet in Manhattan.

From the tone of his voice then, he seemed kind of anxious to meet. I wondered why but later found out. He asked me if he could bring his boyfriend Mason. I was happy to know more people and said sure. He picked this one place that happens to be right across the street from my job. We met in a jazz lounge restaurant which, after entering, I knew automatically this is not a normal place to meet. I saw wers and other supernaturals. I just figured he did not know. Most humans don't. we blend in well. As it turned out I was wrong!

Alex and his boyfriend Mason, revealed their secrets to me of being witches, adding in that was how he was able to find me. Aside from my howling. He told me he felt a supernatural pull to where I was trapped. I revealed my wulf secret and the legendary name of my pack. Their mouths dropped. Although we have been good friends ever since. I have been meaning to introduce Alex to Alpha and Luna, hopefully establishing the relationship of another ally.

Today is that day, Alex will meet my pack. I was brought out of my thoughts though, as Alpha Ruben contacts me in Wulf speak. His wulf speak is baritone like always yet gentle laced with contentment. Instantly I know, the little shit is up to something. Still, hearing from Alpha does relax me a little. Before I can say anything though, Oddly, the moment I was Wulf Speaking with Alpha, My heart races to a pound in my chest. Anxiety really KICKS IN! Simultaneously, I am suddenly hit with the strong smell of Maple Syrup and fresh earth. More unusual still is Kerval's behavior. He immediately calms down, but still, I can feel his anxiety coming off him growing. I ask "Kerval what's wrong" he only responds "finally, they are here" I presume he is talking about the family and let it go. Allowing my thought to go somewhere else.
