The Human {Editing}

Chapter 23

Victoria's pov

The morning snuck by in a few hours that only felt like minutes, but I didn't feel exhausted at all. In fact, I felt well rested despite sleeping in a bed with everyone.

My eyes flickered over their sleeping forms for a while, a small smile pulling at my lips at the sight. I got up as quietly as possible, trying I not to wake anyone in the process. They looked too peaceful.

I carried all my stuff into the bathroom to get ready simply to avoid the possibility of someone seeing me naked. The shower was also set to the lowest pressure to lessen the noise.

However, to my surprise, everyone was awake when I exited the bathroom, chatting away like they weren't sleeping half an hour ago .

"Good morning Angel" Luka beamed as I entered.

Right. They're wolves after all. Their heightened hearing picked up every sound no matter how quiet I was being. I was slightly annoyed by it sometimes, but they never seemed to mind. Why would they anyways? It's what they're used to all their lives.

"Morning" I said to everyone as I applied my lipstick and pulled my hair into a side ponytail, letting it rest on my shoulders. I frowned a little at I gazed at the ends, deciding that I should set an appointment for a new hairdo.

"Where are you going?" someone asked from behind me, sounding pretty confused. I spun around to see everyone looking at me with questioning looks as if I didn't do this everyday.

"Um work" I gestured to my scrubs with a 'duh' look on my face.

They all stared at me as if I had another head. Do I have lipstick on my teeth or something?, I thought while trying to discreetly rub my teeth with my fingers.

"You can't go to work today Vic. It's the day I get inducted into the pack" Ashley finally informed me in an extremely cute whiney voice.

"Why hasn't anyone told me about this?" I asked, putting my hand on my hip accusingly.

"I thought you might've heard, we've been talking about it for a while now"

"Hellooo! Can't mind link remember" I drawled dramatically.

"Right " Emma mumbled nervously. "But you have to be there. Call in sick or something"

"As much as I'd love to support Ashley, wont your pack be skeptical about me being there? Is a human even allowed at something that seems so special? "I was genuinely confused. Wouldn't it be easier for everyone if I wasn't there?

"Don't worry about that, trust me you have to be there. Even though you don't know it yet your presence there is very importa-" 

"What don't I know yet? " I whined, feeling tired of hearing that same line as Luka elbowed Caleb in his side, shutting him up instantly.

They all looked at Luka for help, but he just stared at me saying nothing.

"Look, I'll explain everything soon okay? But for now just trust me on this" Luka's eyes were pleading and sincere as he spoke, and I knew I'd give in easily.

I sighed.

"Fine. But you better tell me soon. I'm tired of being so oblivious to everything" I ended with a huff, knowing I'd have to call in sick and use my sick-leave days.
