Werewolf

Introduction
His cheeks are turning red, I can tell he’s feeling uncomfortable. Fire is spitting out of Fiona’s eyes: “How dare you! That was all my clothes and personal stuff. Don’t say you touched it, you pervert..” Hunter is holding on to the blanket as strong as he can and looks away. “I can give it back to you, I - I promise that I didn’t mean to touch it. I got mesmerized by the scent on it, I had to smell it.” he says, softly. Her hand flies through the air ‘till it meets his face. The sound of her hand slamming his cheek, fades in the air. Hunter gasps for air, and looks back at her face, confused. I can see in his face that something has changed. His eyes look determined now. He grabs Fiona’s right wrist and growls: “MINE!” Mating season is coming again. ------------------------------------- After the war, werewolves are fighting extinction. To help the werewolves survive, the nature made them a ‘mating season’. That means there'll be three or four weeks a year, male werewolves are able to smell every fertile she-wolf in the area. Indy, a 22, and probably the oldest, virgin werewolf. She doesn’t fit the physical description of werewolves. Being the oldest virgin, Indy was trying to find her fated mate. She's hiding herself with another shewolf - Fiona - during mating season, but hiding gets more difficult every year. This year, they have to find new hiding spots. And when they noticed that they’re not alone in the new hiding spot, things got really interesting.

-ONE-

I’m Indy. I’m 22 years old and a virgin werewolf. I’m an orphan and I’ve always felt different in this pack. You know, it’s weird when you’re the only ‘fat’ werewolf around. I don’t fit in with those gorgeous creatures around me. I hate working out but I love food. And I can tell y’all, that’s not a good combination. I haven’t found my mate, and that’s hard. We’re the only pack in this area, the chance that I will meet my mate is close to zero.

But I’m hopeful! Because, the mate-bond is a precious thing for werewolves. It’s almost sacred. We’ve been told from a young age to respect that bond. And I’ve seen it around me: the mate-bond IS special. But what I love the most, is how he’s treating his girl, his princess. He loves her unconditionally. And I’m certain that everything will change when I meet my mate.

Boy, was I wrong!

“Oh for God’s sake, Jack. Leave her alone, she’s nothing!”

I’m laying in the middle of a pool, it’s pouring outside and I tripped. For some reason, the person behind me automatically wanted to pick me up, to help me. But as soon as he tried, one of his friends called him back. Of course, it’s just me. Nobody cares for me.

Jack hesitates for a moment, but listens to his friends. He hurries over to them, and doesn't give me a look anymore. This happens all the time, and I can’t blame them. I try to stand but I feel my ankle is hurt. Great, why should I be lucky for one day. I sigh and falter towards the packhouse, my clothes all dirty and wet. I try to fashion myself, but it’s no help. I give up.

When I enter the packhouse, I directly walk towards an abandoned corner. For some reason, the Alpha called us for a meeting. Every adult needs to appear at those meetings, if not: you’ll be punished. For real, the Alpha doesn't allow any mistakes. Our Alpha is a man you would be afraid of. I don't even know his age or his name. Everyone needs to address him with just ‘Alpha’. But I’ve eyes in my head, I can see he’s good looking and probably around the age of 30. He’s big, not the same ‘big’ as me, but he’s tall and has broad shoulders. And behind his fitted clothes you can definitely tell he’s muscular too. Of course, he is. Every werewolf is. I can’t name a werewolf who’s not a beautiful creature.

My thoughts are cut off by his voice: “Thanks for coming everyone! I’ve called you this evening because I’ve some news. We’ve found some signs of another pack, far in the south. They are very well hidden, but we found signs that can only come from werewolves..”

I can feel how the mood changes. Everyone is shocked. I’m shocked too, my heart beats hard in my chest. Can it be? That would be awesome! There are new opportunities to meet a mate! I’m not the only one getting excited by that idea, I notice the sound of whispering is getting louder with the second.

“Silence! I know you’re all excited, it offers new perspectives. I’m aware of that! But we should be careful, they probably don’t know we exist. We didn’t know they existed until a day ago! We thought we were one of the only packs left on this earth. But now we know we’re not alone in this area, people. I repeat: We. Are. Not. Alone…”

I can feel the excitement in his voice, I see the shine in his eyes. Even from this far! He hasn’t found his mate, either. And a lot of people around me haven’t. I know everyone wants that one special, including myself. I would love to have that one special person, someone who likes me for who I am. From the day I discovered I'm 'different', fat is a better word, I yearn for my mate. And I see the same desire in the Alpha's eyes. I get distracted by my thoughts again. You know, werewolves are searing creatures. We are half beasts, and our animal has - well duuhhh - animal instincts. And soon it’s mating season again.

I sigh at the thought of it. But I’ve no time to think about it, the people around me are moving. Oh crap, I haven’t heard the last words of our Alpha. Should I go home? What is happening? I mindlink Fiona, my surrogate mother:
