Call You Mine

Chapter 13- Friday __th

I went to bed early that night, after realizing that Derek was not coming as he originally stated.

"Well good afternoon."I yell as I run through the foot path towards the packs infirmary, as I usually do on my daily jog. "Good afternoon!!" Leo jumps out of the tree above me, landing next to me and continuing to run along with me. "Well well well, I guess the lycan training is going well. A few days ago, you could not even pick up on our scent, now look at you." Theo jumps from a nearby boulder, joining his brother and I. "What can I say? I'm a fast learner."I giggle, pushing my legs to move faster in order to keep up with these two. "Didn't expect you guys to be on the trail at this time."I state, looking down at my watch, 3.33 p.m.

I myself was shocked that I did not wake up early to go running, but I just felt like a lazy day in. Aley had reassure us again that she had everything handled for prom tonight, so the whole gang was doing their own thing. I checked Chloe's Whats App status, to find out that she was spending the whole day at the spa, getting her entire body done. Therefore, she was not done to just hang out. Aley, was offline, probably putting finish touches to things. Jake and the guys had gotten up early to get their suit properly tailored (again) and was probably going to be at the barber shop as well. Since I would not be seeing the gang until later tonight, I lazily spend the entire morning on social media and YouTube. It was only at 12 pm, that I picked myself up to get food, while watching Netflix. After boredom took over, I decided to pick myself up and go on a run to pass the time. I changed into my wolf, which had not happened in a while and let her enjoy some fresh air, stretching out her legs. I love that I am not a full lycan, I can still be full wolf most times and only use lycan state for more critical times.

I was now heading home , when I saw the lycans and our little banter started.

My laughter with the twins immediately halts when I come to the view of the infirmary. There were more guards outside, many were in wolf forms and Derek was talking to a doctor. They all looked lost and concerned for some reason. "What's going on there?"I halt from my run and turn to Theo. "Beats me." he replies, Leo looked just as blank as his brother. We all walk over to the entrance, the twins go straight to Derek, but I see Loijd , one of Alpha Michael's old friend and approach him, trying my best to avoid Derek. "Loijd. What's happening?" "Oh, Hey Ashley. Well, one of the corpse is missing and we cannot find it anywhere. It just vanished. There is no sign of forced entry or foul play here, he just disappeared." he shrugs.

Why would anyone take a corpse? That's beyond disrespectful and disgusting.

"What was the name of the corpse?"I ask the aged man. "Oh, he was some human kid called Justin, I believe. He was found a few days ago." he elaborates. "Loijd! We need you in the back!" a fellow guard calls him and he excuses himself to return back to duties. I stand there in shock, rooted to the grown. Why? Why would someone take him? This isn't fair.

Justin was an orphan, he lived with his alcoholic aunt that barely noticed when he was gone. So we kept his body, when no one came to claim him. We were going to have a proper funeral for him this weekend, but now he is gone. Why even in death they cannot let him rest? Anger, sadness and guilt washes over me again, but before I can decide what I want to do about it my thoughts are interrupted by Derek asking "What are you doing here?".

"How could this happen? I mean we are werewolves, we should have found him by now."I retort.

"We do not know what time it happened, all we know is that the body must have been removed during the night. There was no force entry, therefore the person must have been working in the pack or have access to the keys. We are evaluating everyone to find out who." he declares, I love the fact that nowadays he doesn't even care to bullshit me. "Yeah but let's just track his scent." I state. "Well that's the thing, Justin was killed with erasing magic. He was tortured by claws, but his death was by erasing magic. Zander erased his life force, therefore, everything that is part of life, even his exsistence. As you may know, our wolves smells a person's soul, not their actual physical smell. And since he's been dead for a couple of days, even his physical smell is gone." he explains, running his hand through his hair.
