Mystery Wolf

Chapter Eight

Chapter Eight:

 

 Finally, it’s the weekend!

 I swear I could hear the angels singing ‘hallelujah!’ I jumped out of my bed and started singing ‘Caraphernelia’ by Pierce the Veil at the top of my lungs. For some reason, I was in an amazing mood. Maybe it’s because I just found out that my long time crush is- possibly –my mate?! Yes! While I was in the shower I grabbed the shampoo bottle and started singing into it loudly.

 “Sunshine! There ain’t a thing that you can do that’s gonna ruin my night!”

 I stepped out of the shower, still singing, as I got dressed. I’m surprised that my mom hasn’t yelled at me to shut up yet.

 “What’s so good about, picking up the pieces? None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole!”

 Once I was dressed I skipped down the stairs and slid into the kitchen, my socks helping me slide on the cold hard wood floor. I almost hit the wall but stopped my self gracefully. Pff, yeah right! I stopped myself by grabbing the chair in front of me, nearly taking it down with me in the process. I expected to see mom looking happy, cooking breakfast, but instead she was sitting at the table with her coffee looking very…upset? My happy mood diminished as I sat down. So that’s why she didn’t yell at me this morning.

 “What’s wrong?” I asked.

 “Your classmate, Melissa Toms? She was found last night in the woods behind the Alpha’s home with her throat slit. It’s a warning.” Mom said quietly.

 I was shocked into silence. I knew it; I knew that something was wrong yesterday. I wanted to comfort mom, but I didn’t know how. I mean, even though I had always hated Melissa I would have never wanted her to die like this. She was killed simply as a warning to the pack…a warning that whoever this was wasn’t fooling around. I wanted to speak up and voice my suspicions of it being the new girl but I decided to keep quiet until I had more evidence to support my theory. My mind travelled to Payton and I frowned. He’s probably taking this pretty hard…

 “Hey mom, I think I’m going to go and visit Payton.” I said.

 “Okay honey, but don’t stay out late. From now on unless you’re doing patrols, your curfew is ten o’ clock.”

 “Mom that’s not-“

 “My word is final. Your father agrees with me.” My mother said, her voice stern.

 I nodded and ran out of the backdoor, heading for Payton’s house.

 When I got there, I noticed two police cars at the front of their house. Shit, so I guess I should use the front entrance rather than sneaking around the back like a creepy stalker huh? I knocked on the door and Payton’s father answered. He looked me up and down with an unreadable expression before speaking.

 “May I help you?” he asked with a stern tone.

 “U-Uhm, I-Is Payton here?” I asked quietly.

 “Yes, he’s up in his room. Would you like to go up and see him?”

 I nodded and Payton’s father let me in. I saw two officers sitting in the living room, speaking to who I assumed to be Payton’s mother. I walked upstairs and followed his scent to see which door was his. I pushed it open slightly and saw Payton sitting on his bed, staring off distantly. My wolf whimpered, she hated seeing him like this. I knocked lightly and pushed the door open. Payton looked over at me and cocked his head, confused. That’s when I realized the fault in my plan.

 He only knows you in wolf form you dumbass!

 Fuck. I waved and gave him a small smile, unsure of what to do next. He probably has no idea why I’m here, I mean, me and him barely ever talk in human form. He only knows Mystery.

 “Calla…? Why are you-“

 “Look, I know it’s weird but I just wanted to come by and say that I’m sorry for your loss.” I said quickly.

 He nodded and looked down sadly. My wolf whimpered again.

 “C-Can I sit?” I asked, motioning to the bed.

 “Sure.”

 I sat and we stayed in an awkward silence for a few moments.

 “I know we don’t really talk much…and I’m probably not the number one person you want to see right now…but I just wanted to make sure that you’re alright.” I said timidly, avoiding his eyes.

 He stayed silent.

 “It’s hard to loose someone, especially someone you love. But I wanted to let you know that it’ll get better, trust me.” I was about to stand and leave when he grabbed my arm.

 I looked over to him and saw him staring at me, his icy eyes boring into mine. He looked so sad but it was also mixed with…curiosity?

 “Stay.” He whispered.

 I sat back down with a shy nod.

 “You’re so familiar to me. But I don’t know why.”

 I held my breath. Was he going to guess? Oh shit, I don’t think I can handle him knowing right now! I mean-

 “It’s like I’ve known you forever, even though we’ve barely spoken.”

 He laughed quietly.

 “You probably think I’m crazy…”

 My head snapped up at that.

 “I would never, think you were crazy.” I whispered.

 We both leaned forward, staring at each other. His eyes kept flickering from my eyes to my lips, and my eyes were doing the same. Gently, our lips brushed together. It was a slow, sweet kiss but it was amazing and had the butterflies in my stomach going insane! My heart felt like fireworks had been set off inside of it and I never wanted it to end. But sadly, reality came crashing down on both of us. Payton and I both jumped back and continued to look at each other; probably both asking ourselves ‘did that really just happen?’

 The silence was deafening. I wanted to wait for him to say something, but when he did my heart shattered.

 “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean for that to happen.” He said.

 I frowned sadly and nodded, getting ready to leave once again. But that’s when I heard him speak again.

 “But that doesn’t mean that I didn’t want it to.”

 I spun around so fast I thought I had given myself whiplash. He gave me a sideways grin and I returned it with a shy smile.

 “Do…do you want to get away from here for awhile?” Payton asked.

 I nodded eagerly.

 “Come on, I know where we can go.”
