Being One Of Them

Chaper IX

Luke was held to the ground by an unnatural force, he tried to look at who it was but couldn't make out the shape of the person. It had its hands wrapped around Luke's throat making it hard to breath.

"What is a human doing here?" Said the voice. Luke coughed in response, he tapped on the person's hand signaling him to let go. The person noticed and let go with a small sorry. After he let go, Luke backed away and stood up, he tried to focus on the person.

"Wh-who are you?" He managed to stutter out. Luke noticed now that it was a man standing around 6"0', slick back dark brown hair, with a beard, not only that but he had a strong built and was in his late 30s. He was only wearing what it seems some old sweatpants.

A deep laugh came from the man, you could see orange orbs glowing in the dark. Luke noticed his eyes and gasped mentally He's a lycan he didn't noticed but he had widened his eyes in surprise.
"The names Halstein, and who are you?" The man called Halstein asked back, he had his arms crossed waiting for an answer. Luke recomposes himself and spoke:

"I'm Luke" he replied, but he didn't say anything afterwards. A silence fell upon them before Halstein took a few steps forward trying to reach Luke.
"What brings you to the forest? You are human yet smell like a werewolf" He explained, walking around him, observing him.

Luke wanted to immediately tell him, but he had to be cautious, he didn't know who he was and what he's capable of. Lycans tend to be picky when it comes to choosing outsiders to become Lycans, they have to control the population, if they don't things will get out of hands and there will be fights among other supernatural creatures.

"..." Luke didn't reply, he was looking for a good valid reason. It was his only opportunity to become like them.

"Come on son spit it out" Hals, while laughing, slapped Lukes back pushing all his air out and throwing him off balance, Luke grunted as he tried to regain his cool.

"It's pretty obvious as to why I came here" He said with hint of nervousness.

Hals squinted his eyes, his orange eyes glowing brighter by the second, and made a thin line with his lips. He already knew why he was coming here for, what possibly else could he be looking for in the middle of the night in a forest. "Look kid, you know how we are, so why did you even bother coming here?" His hands uncrossed themselves and one of them was laid in Luke's shoulder, making Luke swallowed out of fear.

'He was laughing just a second ago and now he's all serious?' Luke thought to himself. There was a short pause, Hals looked directly at Luke's eyes for a solid minute, not a single word left his mouth nor Luke's.
"Why do you think you deserve being one of our own?" His hands left Luke's shoulder rested on themselves, Hal's voice was deep and velvety; the tone in his voice had an established authority.

"Well why wouldn't I, I came here knowing I'll die if I do; the chances of meeting a Lycan are almost 0" Luke had to completely act this out, he knew it was the only way, he couldn't tell Hals the truth as to why he's here, he might think he's weak and end up killing him.

Another short pause fell upon them, and was cut short when a laugh boomed out of nowhere. This laugh was coming from Hals himself. It was short but it was definitely a good laugh. "Aah that was a great laugh kid, haven't laughed this good in a while" Hals added: "Well you seem pretty trustworthy", he took a few steps forward and in a threatening voice said: "If you make me regret this, I'll end up ripping your throat out" he menacingly looked at Luke.

Luke felt the cold sweat running down his forehead, there's no backing up, he gather all his courage and finally exclaimed "You won't".

"Good... welcome to the pack Luke" said Hals with a smirk on his face. Before Luke passed out the only thing he saw were fangs and 2 pair of glowing eyes coming at him...
