Wolves by Ash Faith (freda ebook reader .txt) 📕

I felt dizzy, there was way too much craziness going on for my dumbass mind to take in. I saw the trees and Kade spin around and my vision went black as the last thing I felt was my body thud to the ground.

“She’s waking up” A seriously high-pitched feminine-like voice said. Oh god, not again. The last time I’d woken up to a woman’s voice I was kidnapped and strapped down to some stone surgery table in a solid concrete room like fucking Frankenstein. My eyes flew open and I lifted my top half of my body too fast to see what was going on only to get my forehead smashed into something metal,

“OUCH! MOTHERFUCKER” I screamed at the top of my lungs as I landed back onto the thin mattress I must have been laying down on. My eyes closed and my hand rubbing my forehead I smelt a familiar smell that sent my body into a calm motion. Julie was somewhere close, she smelt kinda like brown sugar to me for some unknown reason but it was sweet and reassuring. I opened my eyes to find her but I was met with a pair of beady hazel eyes staring right back at me. The person screamed in a high-pitched voice – wait what the fuck? It was a guy!? He was kinda bulk which just made me more confused. “You’re a guy?!” I yelled, which earned me a slap from somebody on my leg that hurt more than it should have “OUCH! What the hell?!” I looked at my attacker, this time a woman in a lab coat “Don’t you dare talk to my man like that you stupid bitch!” oh my god her voice was seriously deep and manly. What the hell was going on? The hit to my head had given me a headache even though I already had one from passing out on the forest floor most likely on a tree root because that was my kind of luck. I ignored the crazy people in lab coats and turned my head to the right where I saw another bed with a sheet over it and the shape of a body poking through the sheet.

 I froze.

That was where Julie’s smell was coming from.

I grabbed the neck of the coat of the still shrieking idiot in a tight grip “What the fuck have you done with her” the venom in my voice scared me, but not as much as it scared the guy who’s neck I held.

“She’s-“ he started to choke out but the door was flung open and I saw Kade walk in immediately dropping the dude in the coat as his girlfriend caught him and I turned my attention to Kade. “You said you had her, what have you done you son of a bitch!” I yelled at him angrily. The lab coat freaks gasped. I can only hope that that wasn’t her under the sheet, but I know it is her… I felt a tear prepare to be cried out but I shut out my emotion and just aimed my anger at Kade, wondering if this was his plan all along. Sick fuck. what is wrong with the people here!?. I launched myself off the mattress to realise there was a needle sticking in my arm, like it was some sort of blood test. I ripped the thing out of my arm and threw it across the room. This didn’t phase Kade at all. Which agitated me more. “Come with me” He said blankly and started walking towards the door, I prepared to refuse but the people in lab coats each grabbed one of my arms and began to drag me out of the room, normally I would have refused and fought, but the grief that I knew it was Julie-Anne dead cold on that bed had over taken my body and I felt hopeless. She’s gone. Julie-Anne Baker. The one person I had left and that I cared about, my best friend, of all people. Julie had helped me through so much, through my emotional breakdowns and let me move in with her in her apartment in Brisbane. The light brown haired and slightly freckled girl with beautiful green eyes and the best personality. Flashbacks of our times together sent waves of emotion through me and I remembered this one time where we- “Ow! What the hell!” I yelled as somebody had slapped me across the face and woken me from my daydreaming. It was the woman in the lab coat again. Damn, what was her problem and why was she so addicted to slapping me? She and her boyfriend dropped me onto a crazily expensive feeling couch, of which an exact replica was opposite where Kade was sitting down. The lab coats left the room and there was 3 people left in the small space; Kade, Myself and another good-looking middle-aged man in a fancy suit standing next to Kade’s couch like some kind of Body Guard. What the hell is going on, and who the hell is that fancy ass guard-dude who looked like his name was randy. “Hello Lana” supposedly Randy said, “My Name’s Randy and I’m here to help explain to you what the hell is going on” he continued with a smile, a real one finally somebody with a genuine nice look to them. The relief of a person that wouldn’t just look at me blankly was great. Wait, holy shit I got his name right?! I’m a genius! “Not exactly” he said laughing as if he heard what I was thinking. “I am.” Wow, he’s good at guessing what I’m thinking.

“You can stop messing with me” I cut the humour short. I wasn’t in the mood, especially after seeing my best friends dead body. Well not technically seeing it.

“Oh,” Randy looked surprised at Kade “You haven’t even told her about the other girl yet?”

Kade shot him daggers that would have made me shit my pants if they were aimed at me, but Randy seemed unphased. Despite the last few hours I’d experienced, I felt rather calm now, like my head could get ripped off and I couldn’t care less. “What about what other girl” I asked, crossing my legs and sinking into the fancy couch. “Your friend, she isn’t dead.” Randy said to me blankly. But I saw…

“Yes, you did see her under the sheet like in those movies where you see the dead people in” Randy continued. “But she’s not dead.”

 “Well, not technically anyway.” He mumbled

“What the fuck are you saying, Is she in a coma or something?” I was happy that Julie hadn’t left me yet but the way he was talking about this creeped me out, I didn’t show that to them, showing weakness could mean death for me. and the now-alive Julie. Randy nodded “That’s actually kind of right, she’s currently in a state of change, her body was broken and destroyed when she was thrown into that tree and if it wasn’t for Prince Kade here she would be dead.”

“Wait what” I said, He was saying what happened to her in my dream and the fact than he kept giving almost perfect responses to my thoughts was starting to creep me out.

Randy started laughing, his laugh sounded like thunder it was so deep and loud and it made me jump slightly. “Sorry if I make you feel that way but” He settled down on the couch opposite me next to Kade “My reason is because I can hear your thoughts” He waited for my reaction, but I had none, I was freaking out deep on the inside but the overwhelming calmness from before had taken most of the fear away. Don’t freak out my inner voice spoke up again Just listen, there’s more to what he is saying, you must listen. I obeyed the voice and sat up more confidently, “So, my dead best friend who I saw not breathing is still alive thanks to you people who for some reason most of the people I’ve seen here have looked at me like they hate me and you both of you have given off the creepy vibe that my freakish dream I had last night was real” I sighed from speaking so many words with little breath “And you just called Kade here a prince and looking around at all this expensive I’m starting to think it wasn’t a figure of speech” they both looked at me, then each other, then back at me. “Yeah, you got most of it” Randy said. “But,” Kade said as he scanned me like I was an artefact “The most interesting thing here is you.” What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

“I’m sorry, what? You’re telling me, the guy who ripped a giant metal pole from a house and is some kind of Prince, that I am the most interesting thing.” Was he nuts? Was I going nuts?

“Well, Yes” Kade said “I am saying that.” ‘Because you walked into my bar and I knew you were a wolf, but there’s something else to you, I need to know what you are before-“ I interrupted him

“excuse me” I said completely confused “what the fuck do you mean by a wolf” I started to freak out, this time I let them see it. “I mean a shapeshifter that shifts into a wolf” He said blankly.

“Werewolves, basically” Randy piped in.

“I’m sorry but, I need to leave, with my friend. I didn’t know I was with a bunch of completely insane bartender and a guy who claims he can read minds” I went push myself off out of the couch and get ready to run for it but was stopped as Kade suddenly appeared right in front of me, holding my arms down so I couldn’t move I’d forgotten he was super fuckin strong. “Get off me!” I yelled

He just stared deep into my eyes, holy shit, I’d never realised how mesmerising his eyes were. They were a chocolate brown, like his hair, but they also had little green speckles in them. They seemed to glow as he stared into my eyes, making me feel powerless against him. “You’re going to take us seriously little wolf, and we’re going to find out what you are whether you tell us or not.” He was dangerous, and beautiful
