Twelve: School and Threats Part 2

Mykayla

Poor Dustin, I knew this week would be a trial for him, but I could tell he was prepared for the first day. After the first day, he started to get the hang of it. Although, getting up earlier was still hard for him. My stress over sendingthe girls to a physical school calmed down after the third day. By Friday, it all seemed so normal. The girls were always excited to go to school and just as excited to tell us about the days that night during dinner. It made mesmile to see that they were happy and comfortable here. They still don’t know about werewolves, and I am not sure when or how I am going to explain that topic. It's Friday night, and we are all sitting outside by the pool,watching all the kids play and burn off some of their energy before bed. We are sitting there talking when I hear a howl. It doesn’t sound like a good howl. I look over at Kaleb, and he is obviously receiving a mind link from oneof the patrols. Suddenly, the kids are being told to go to their homes.

“I need you and the girls to go inside now,” Dustin demands.

I look at him, and instantly fear rises up. He looks furious, and I actually flinch at his words. I have not ever heard him talk like this to me before. His eyes are that dark navy colour, and I can tell by his tone that Demetri is theone talking to me. I yell at the girls to get their attention and tell them to come here. I walk with them into the house and watch as Dustin, Kaleb, and Nate run towards the wood and shift into their wolves. I watch until they aretoo deep into the woods to see.

It's well after 11:00 pm when I hear a rustle in the trees. I have come back out to watch for them to come back. I have been sitting out there wrapped in a light blanket for probably an hour when they come back. It is a surrealsight to see three large wolves walking toward you. I feel a spark of fear rise in me, and I stand up and take half a step back. I know I have nothing to fear but my flight or fight response kicks in. As I take the half step back, Ihear a deep whimper. I look up and see the three of them in front of me. I have to admit all three have very handsome wolves. Kaleb's wolf is a chocolate brown with a hint of red in it. He still has his hazel eyes. Nate's wolf is adeep red with a dusting of dark blonde running throughout the fur. Dustin's wolf is huge and is a solid Silvery white colour. What makes his wolf even more striking is his crystal ice blue eyes. Another whimper pulls me out of mythoughts, and I look at them. I haven't even realized I have backed up more.

“Sorry guys, I promise I am not scared of any of you. It’s just seeing three massive wolves walk up to me; I guess my natural human response kicked in. Please don't be mad at me.” I cry out, apologizing.

At the first sounds of popping bones, I close my eyes. I don't open them till I feel a hand on my cheek as sparks shoot down the side of my neck. I open my eyes to see Dustin standing there with a worried look on his face. I cansee Kaleb and Nate standing behind him and off to the side.

"We aren't mad at you, Mykayla. We do understand that three large wolves walking at you could be intimidating.” Nate says reassuringly.

I give the three of them a smile and notice that they are wearing basketball shorts. That's when I remember Natayla telling me how they keep pieces of clothes in various locations for instances like this. The three of us walkback into the house and up to our floors. When Dustin and I close and lock the door to our room. I replace myself pulled into a deep kiss. We pull apart, and I sit on the bed. We don’t lock the store for safety because one of the girlspretty much walked in on us. So it gets locked to prevent any more of those incidents from happening. Dustin comes out of the bathroom and joins me on the bed. He lays down with an arm behind his head and the other on mythigh.

“I am pretty sure Demetri told you to stay inside, yet you are sitting outside all alone when I come back.” He questions.

“Yea, he did, but I got anxious and nervous. I was afraid if I wasn't out there when you came back, you might not come back,” I admit nervously.

He pulls me to lay down on his chest, and I go willingly. I know what can happen when packs fight between them. Thankfully none of the guys looks to have any wounds or bite marks on them.

“One of the patrols caught the scent of rouges close to our border. They figured I would want to come to check it out. I am sorry if Demetri scared you earlier with his demand. He wants to keep you safe just like I do.” He tellsme.

“1 know; I was just surprised to be spoken to by you in that forcefully demanding way. Plus, the way he looked at me, I guess it just frightened me.” I tell him.

We lay there a while longer, and I feel him relax and start to snore softly. I was happy that he wasn't one of those loud snorers. I lay there cuddled up next to him and thought about the rouges. I wonder what they are doingaround the borders. I soon start to drift off to dreamland.
