A Werewolf's Hidden Life

Chapter Four

Later on that week I had went over to Kate's place to spend the weekend with her. It felt nice to get away from my horny brother and his girlfriend for a while, but don't get me wrong I love them both, but after a while you get annoyed by your family and just need to get away. Everyone needs it at some point. While I stayed at Kate's we played a bunch of board games, got high with Miles and Nick, or just simply slept. I'm not gonna lie I feel different when I'm with the three of them, I almost feel free and like I could forget about my troubles with my werewolf side.

One day while I was staying with Kate I was off in wonderland, which was normal for me in all honesty but I had my werewolf mind kicked on so I wasn't paying much attention to my surroundings like I was supposed to but I trusted Kate's place, her Dad was chill and she was my best friend.

Kate's POV:

I came back from the kitchen since I was cooking for the both of us because my dad was at work and I noticed Emily staring at the floor, I know she tended to zone out at times, but this felt different. I quickly set our plates down on the dinning table then slowly approached her so I wouldn't scare her, since she tends to get spooked easily then set my hand on her shoulder. "Em? you good?" I was quickly taken back when I heard her growl at me like she was some sort of dog.

Emily's POV:

I felt Kate's hand set on my shoulder and heard her say my name but my werewolf instincts kicked in and I growled at her as my eyes shifted to her hand. As she pulled away I moved to my hands and knees, almost like I was getting ready to shift- but I didn't.

I didn't shift, why didn't I shift? Normally when my wolf takes over I shift instantly. But I didn't, I just stayed in that position until I lifted my head up and looked at her in shock, she looked at me with the same face. I quickly stood up and ran upstairs to her bathroom and locked myself in there, and of course Kate came running after me. I looked at myself in the mirror, my heart was beating like crazy and I didn't know why. I heard Kate banging on the door as I stood over the sink, my arms felt like Jell-O and I was honestly ready to pass out.

After staring at the sink I grabbed my phone to call Alex to come and get me and to bring Kat so she could drive my truck back to the house. Once they had got there I walked downstairs, past Kate as quickly as possible then out the door. Kate came running after me but Alex quickly stopped her while I hopped in my truck and drove off, my eyes were still in they're wolf state due to the shock I had put myself in.

"Why didn't I fucking shift? I should have shifted right then and there but I didn't." I thought to myself while driving, finding it hard to focus on the main thing: driving. Kat quickly took the wheel as I let out an agitated growl and traded spots with me to make sure we didn't end up in an accident.

Kate's POV:
"Emily! Emily wait! Talk to me what's going on?!" As I tried to grab her arm Alex quickly, but gently shoved me away. I glared at him and watched as she drove off with Kat. My gaze went back to Alex and I quickly lashed out at him for stopping me, but of course he stopped me from doing that to him and shoved me on the ground. "What the fuck, Alex! What's wrong with her!" Alex quickly let out a sigh as I crossed my arms. I could see on his face he was thinking. Before I could talk again he spoke. "Em is on some new meds for her anxiety, and apparently they're not working they way they're supposed to." I looked at him with a confused look before scoffing and getting up. "Well, tell me how she's doing." I spoke quietly then walked into my house, slamming the door as I entered.

I sat in the passengers seat quietly, looking out the window as thoughts ran through my head. Kat let out a sigh as she drove, looking at me occasionally to check on me. I continued to keep my gaze on the scenery until we got home.
