Wolves of Roma

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

--------------

The night slowly crept in, the tension in the air was thick. The woman and children were huddled in the pack house, nervously. Some of the smaller ones, lucky ones had slept. The others were torn between worry and terror. they had all been asked to assemble in the pack house for safety, safety in numbers. The men were guarding it like a fortress.

So the pack house was overflowing with pack members huddled in small groups everywhere. The bedrooms were use for the old and children and everyone else made themselves comfortable where ever they found place.

"I haven't even found my mate" Ria lamented, she was the romantic of the lot, always dreaming of her mate carrying her of in to the sunset. Naturally all female teen wolves formed a group, all of them huddled in a cozy corner.

"If I make it out of this alive I am going to forgive Ian and take him back, the fight we had was stupid anyway" Sarah one more pack girl moaned.

"I am done" Evelyn said, the others looked at her confused "If I make it out of this alive, I am leaving" The other girls looked at her horrified at the very prospect. Evelyn did not even know what made her say it out loud. She had always been careful with her thoughts, but life with fear of death hanging around her head every single minute got to her.

"I will go to a city, away from all this madness" she said and added more firmly "I am done" reinforcing her thoughts. She felt relived voicing out her thoughts, but looking around the shocked faces and wide eyes she regretted her outburst. They would not understand, how could they? none of them ever had been in her position before.

"But where will you go? What will you do? Without your pack you are vulnerable.... No other pack will take you, just like that" Ria spoke. Voicing out her concern, what Evelyn was saying was close to sacrilege. Would she go rogue? despite what all those rogues did to her? That very thought mare her shudder.

"I am not joining another pack, I will very much be a part of this pack" Evelyn said "I will go to a City" she stressed  "away from wolves, I will stay in human cities away from all this killing and madness!" Yes, sometimes wolves did leave their pack temporally, for education, travel and other things but a wolf would always gravitate to its pack, it was the very nature of the beast within them.

"You think human cities are safe? Don't you watch TV?" Sarah added trying to make Evelyn realize her naive outlook. 

"I know it's not perfect, but at least I have better chances of surviving a mugging attempt then a rogue attack" and it was true, she would be relatively safe in the human world, she was stronger, faster, had better senses  then humans, she would heal incredibly fast. Normal bullets would not harm her, due to her being an Werewolf her bone structure was super strong and so was her muscle, she had very little to be scared of in the human world.

"But what will you do? What if you turn? Your wolf cannot stand the city!"

 "I have not tuned till now, it is unlikely I will turn in the future" Which basically meant that she would probably not turn till she found her mate and finding her mate in the city was next to nil, as a male wolf would turn regardless he found a mate or not and because of that no male wolf would stay in a city, he would suffocate, his wolf will drive him mad.

"As to what I will do...I want to be a doctor, a human doctor, work in their hospitals...I will..." she suddenly was interrupted.

"Enough of that Evelyn!" her mother snapped, Evelyn snapped around to see her standing behind her. She had been busy with all the other woman organizing stuff around the pack house. Evelyn did not even notice when she came over but apparently she had heard enough.
