forever and beyond

2 - Arrival to New Orleans

Since the flight was due for the next 2 hours I decided to call Jules and inform her about it.

Well let me tell you..that was a bad move. As soon as I called her , she picked it up and exasperated "I knew it...I knew it....you yet again missed your flight.....why aren't you serious about this Eve!!..you know Flynn had to work so hard to convince alpha lycan to let you work in his institute and carry on with your research. He is not found of humans and punctuality matters so much to him." Jules sighed and I instantly felt guilty for being a procrastinator but knowing that I am never going to learn my lesson I replied "Jules I want you to calm down and not be anxious. I know I made a mistake but I don't get why you are being so dramatic and angry about it. The meeting with alpha lycan is tomorrow and I will have plenty of time to be prepared". Jules sighing again and said something that made me wanna kill someone particularly an alpha.

" Alpha lycan has reschedule the meeting, since he is busy tomorrow he asked the meeting to be conducted today at 2:00pm or else we can forget about the research".

Millions of questions emerged in my mind.

how?

why?

and most importantly what the fuck.

The duration of flight from New York to New Orleans was 2 hours and a half and since I wasted 2 hours by being late , I now had only an hour to reach the meeting and prepare for my presentation.

Great ......just fucking great.

My entire journey all I could think of was Alpha lycan . The only thing I knew about him was that he was dominating, vicious, powerful and dangerous . Lycan is the name given to him due to his linage. He is called the impure elemental hybrid . It is also rumored that his greed for power goes beyond the skies and oceans . People never called him by his birth name just lycan or alpha lycan.

On reaching New Orleans I hastened myself, got my luggage and walked out of the airport and searched for few familiar faces untill my eyes land on a brunette with ocean blue eyes and lightly tanned.

Just as she noticed me, she took long steps towards me and the pulled me into a tight un-breath-able hug. She then pulled away and punched my arm softly.

"Ouch. That hurt" I said mocking her and rolling my eyes

Then she hit me again. This time harder and when I say harder try to imagine a werewolf punch.... Ok it wasn't that hurtful but....you get it.

"The fuck woman" I said.

Now she rolled her eyes.

Right then I was pulled into a group hug and those people were none other than jack, Brody and Nick. They were pack guards and the most friendliest people in the pack and also among the few who didn't see me as an outsider.

While I was small I went to kindergarten with them. In fact I was famous. This was before everyone got to know that I was human and not one of them. But then things changed. You see as werewolf children grow and develop they begin to show signs that they are indeed werewolves. But not in my case. Regardless of what I was these 3 were there for me. During my summer holidays they along with Flynn would visit me and we would go to some place to enjoy. But then things changed ,we grew up and with Flynn having more responsibility we drifted apart untill Jules.

"How was your flight amigo?" Nick asked.

"It was fine but I'm tired and want to freshen up" I replied.

"Sorry to say but there is no time to freshen up. The meeting is at 2:00 and you only have 45 minutes left so we better get going" Jack said ,to which Brody smacked him on his head and said " Man don't stress her like that... Don't you know how to be around a lady...ignore him Eve. We got plenty of time"

"No, we don't " Jules pointed out.

"Can't believe Flynn had to send 3 guards along with you" I said

'I know right. I told Flynn that I could go alone or with any one but you know how he is" Jules replied.

"I meant he just send 3, I thought there would be more" I laughed knowing my brother well enough.

"Get in the car" Jules said irritated.

we sat in the car and headed towards the werewolf headquarters.

Yep, we have a HQ.

Since werewolves rule this place , it's similar to a constitutional monarchy. Alpha lycan and his pack is the most powerful then comes other pack alphas. So they have a council where where issues are addressed and conclusions are made. Most decision are made by one person only and can you guess who that might be??

Yes, obviously it the one and only..... Lycan.

Today's meeting was about letting a human (that's me) stay on here and let her experiment on werewolves.

Now you guys will be like ..... whatttt!

Dont be Disturbed. I'm not gonna use them as lab rats. Just want to study the various structure organization in the genetics makeup of werewolves...... Heavy word right.

It would require various blood samples from different packs and certainly their co-operation. That's were lycan comes. In case he grants me permission I can get answers to many of my questions that still haunt me.

While I was still preoccupied with these thoughts, the car stopped.

"We are here" jack said.

As I got out of the car, I saw a enormous building which appeared like a luxurious hotel and it was a elite working class crowd scenario. As I gulped saliva down my throat , Jules comforted me and said " it's going to be good . You will convince him. Don't worry".

As I walked towards the conference room , millions of thoughts ran in my mind . I wondered what I would do if my research was not accepted and no permission was granted . Though I was laid back but I was desperate for answers and this research would help me.

I began to set up all the papers and the presentation I had to present and since I had few minutes to spare I walked up to the washroom and stood in front of the mirror staring at my reflection . I fixed my ponytail and my makeup too. Straighten my blazer and hoped that I was presentable enough.
