I’m blinded by some bright ass white light. I look around and I start to make out where I am. I’m surround by a bunch of wildflowers with the sea off in the distance in one direction and a thick green forest in the other. I’ve never been here before. ‘Where the hell am I? What the hell is going on?’ I thought to myself. Just then, I see the silhouette of a person walking towards me. I immediately go into defensive mode and take my stance when I hear a laugh in my head. “Calm down Aleena. It’s just mother.” The voice was as soft and conforming and I’ve never heard anything like it.“What? Mother? That’s not my mother! I don’t even know where the fuck I am!? And how do you even know my name” I yell out looking all around.“That is my mother. The mother of all of us. Calm down she means you no harm. I promise.” That voice in my head calling out again. All of a sudden, I feel safe and like I should just relax but my brain telling me to be on the defense and to keep my guard up. “Aleena

mystery guy’s povfinding out the latest on the runt’s family had only left me with more questions. i had to find out the truth. it’s been a couple of days already and i still hadn’t heard anything from ben yet so that only meant one of two things. either a – it was a lot more complicated than we thought and he’s going to hand me a novel worth of paperwork or b – he was having a hard time finding anything on them.the runt wasn’t in class yesterday or today. i didn’t take her for type to skip class especially during midterm week. i saw her blonde headed friend that i had told to go with her to the hospital friday night and maddox was driving me crazy wanting me to find out where the runt was. after class i waited for her in the hallway and as she came out of the classroom, i stopped her.“hey. i know you don’t know me but…”“you’re the guy from the football game that helped…”“yeah, that’s me. i was wondering how she was doing. i just noticed she hasn’t been in class this week.” maddo

mystery guy’s povLegolas and i had been combing through every book we could trying to find out what the creature was that maddox chased across the territory the other night. we found creatures with red eyes and creatures that were abnormally large for wolves, but nothing with them combined. the best educated guess we could come up with was that these creatures bred and made hybrids, so we started compiling a list of everything these creatures were capable of. we needed to know if they were good or bad, but for me personally, i needed to know what they wanted with the runt.Legolas had a couple other close calls with the runt and the restricted section in the library. why was she not in school? i decided to keep an eye on her from a distance. maddox was whining in my head because he just wanted to be near her, but until we knew what was going on, i couldn’t risk it. for all we knew, she could be this creature’s damn leader or some shit. Legolas and i had been going at this most of th

Mystery Guy’s POV“Did this person have red eyes?” Alpha asked.“Not that we saw, but we also weren’t getting close enough to see.” Legolas stated while both of us shook our heads. “All we could really see was the outline of the person. They were dressed in all black and I think they might have even had a hat on but I’m not 100% sure on that one. But it was definitely a female voice.”Both our dads were staring at each other, and if I didn’t know any better, I would say that they were scared. I’ve never seen either of them act this way before. Not even with the few rogue attacks we’ve had. If anything, they almost looked excited for those, but this, this was different. What could possibly have them scared this bad? I needed answers. It was obvious that this involved the runt, and the damn mate bond was getting stronger, and the need to protect her was becoming overwhelming. “OK, let’s just cut the shit out now.” I snapped. All eyes were on me now, with the alpha and my dad’s eyebrows
