THE LAST ALPHA novel Chapter 4

The night is getting intense, but its darkness fades away under the magnificent light of the moon. The girl standing in front of me, I don't know who she is and where she came from but my heart aches to see her eyes wet. I don’t understand her reason for crying but it baffles me a lot.

“Listen, please! Don’t cry. What are you saying doesn’t make any sense to me? We never met before, neither of us on social media but you say we are mates. I found this ridiculous.” I state and she pours more water from her eyes.-

“I was looking for you for so long but see how we met here, in the human world. Why did you choose to hide here?” She said something that troubled me to heart.

“Wait? Human world? What are you saying? Now, I am sure you are on drugs or marijuana.” I yell and turn to leave.

The girl holds my hand, “don’t leave, mate! We are meant for each other. Onyx, aren’t you thinking that you are different from others?”

“Speak clearly and boldly, what are you implying?” I threaten her.

“You are not a human as you think, onyx.” she states in a serious voice and I look at her in disbelief.

“How high are you? Listen, just leave silently or I will call the security.”

“You can’t! There is no security person who can pass me.” the girl states and I notice her eyes glowing.

For a second, I thought she was a ghost or something unless she turned into an animal. Actually, a wolf.

“What the fuck??” I scream and run without looking back. Don’t know where I am heading to, the only thing of concern for me was to escape from a shifting wolf. I hate the idea of coming to this place and now I will regret it. I am going to die.

“Leave me alone, bitch!” I pelt a stone at the wolf which hardly made any sense to hit her. I can’t hit anyone, I am such a weakling.

“I am not coming back to this stupid place ever but for that, i have to live first!” I curse while running and slam into a hard bark. I can’t focus as my vision blurs when I lose my glasses on the way back. The sky was clear but now I can see the stars closely.

The darkness creeps over my head and I fall unconscious, my eyes close but I focus on one thing in front of me, A wolf.

Suddenly, I woke up on the bed, panting heavily and catching breath like there is no more oxygen left on the planet. I sweat badly, I am drenched and I run out of the cabin. I panicked but calmed down immediately when I saw my parents talking to a security officer.

“Onyx! Are you okay? You scared us!” Mom kisses my forehead.

“We were so worried for you.” dad snaps.

“What happened last night?” I ask them and they look back at me with the same confusion.

“We found you in the woods, passed out.” Mom whispers and the security officer approaches me.

“Are you okay, son? The wood is dangerous at night, you should stay in your cabin. Thank Jesus that you are alive and safe.”

I nod my head and the security officer left after completing his formalities.

“Why did you go for a walk in the woods, last night?” Mom scolds me.

“I can’t sleep.”

“Let it go, honey! He learned his lesson and we are here to enjoy it.” Dad saves my life this time.

“I was so scared.” she cries.

“Mom, i am fine. I lost the way back to the cabin and bumped into a big tree. That’s all.” i explain but partially. I don’t think this is a right time to spill all the beans.

“Come on! Let’s have some breakfast.”

Mom made pancakes on a stove, she brought some groceries with her too. Dad and I went to hunt an animal for dinner.
