Not Ready For My Mate novel Chapter 14

I shook my head, knowing that I was overthinking everything right now. I was making myself worried over nothing, well not nothing but that's besides the point. It was already past eight but I continued to feel anxious and decided a run would be good for me. I quickly ran up the stairs and told Will through the door, not needing to walk in on anything once again. He said alright and reminded me to change my furs colour.

It was one of my abilities that allowed me to change but it had a con as I could only change the colour after I had transformed into my white wolf. Therefore, it restricted me from changing in front of anyone who didn't know my secret. Walking outside, I jogged over to a large tree and stripped of my clothes. I placed them neatly by the tree before shifting into my wolf. I shook my fur out, enjoying the feeling of being in my true form. I hardly ever got to stay like this as it was to dangerous regardless of where I was. Quickly I allowed my fur to shift to a silver colour, close to my white but not bringing up any suspicions to anyone who saw it. No longer was the snow-white fur that had blue glowing swirls moving over my form.

I stretched out my limbs before finally taking off, not caring how long I had been running or to where I was even going. I stopped though when the sound of running water came into ear shot. I walked closer to the sound before seeing a river and began following it. Soon enough I reached a beautiful lake, the moon light glistening off of the water and adding the perfect amount of light to cast a beautiful evening. I was in more shock though when I saw the flowers surrounding the lake, they weren't normal flowers though. These flowers were glowing. It made no sense but frankly I didn't question it for too long.

I walked closer to the flowers, observing them happily and just enjoying this moment of peace and quiet. No responsibilities, just complete freedom to be me. Well, almost.

After a while I decided it was best that I start heading back though immediately stopped as the hairs on the back of my neck stood. I lowered myself to the ground, ready to lunge at anyone or anything wanting to attack. I listened closely, trying to find what was out there but there was nothing. No movement, no sounds. It was silent and that's what made me nervous. I could feel that something was here, watching me. I decided to make my way back, still keeping my guard up in case whatever it was decided now was the time to strike.

Cautiously I began walking home, still feeling the presence near me. I tried sniffing the air a few times but kept coming up short until I finally got whiff. I know I had smelt that scent before, the Ancients had taught me that all creatures had a distinct smell and made sure I learnt each and everyone one of them. I kept trying to rack through my brain on who this scent belonged to then it finally dawned on me.

Everyone was already downstairs, eating happily. The only exception were my parents as they needed to go to their new jobs early this morning. I sat down on one of the stools and grabbed some food.

"Ready for school?" I asked between bites, smirking when they all threw me glares. No one here wanted to go. None replied and continued on eating. I pouted before we all chuckled and finished up.

"Alright let's get going troop!" Jordan ordered, pretending he was a general of an army. I rolled my eyes, grabbing my bag and heading out to our motorcycles. My parents got them for us as a present. My brothers and their mates got into one car and immediately drove off; us following after them.
