Thunder wolf novel Chapter 2

Aleka's  Pov

I was passing through no man's land, this land was not claimed by any pack and the only one's I may find here are rogues.-

Normally wolves are afraid of them but me, I am not afraid of anything except my one strength.

It was really cold here and I need to make some arrangements for the night.

I was searching for some sticks when I heard footsteps approaching me.

I don't have any special hearing skills like other werewolves, my human resembles any other normal humans in all respects, my werewolf doesn't speak to me unlike other werewolf's and neither do I smell like one ,I am completely human unless I decide to let out my wolf which I  never want to.

Instead of running, I stood my ground and continued my search.

The footsteps stopped behind me and I analysed there were 2 rogues behind me, on seeing me they shifted into their human form.

"Look John who we got here!"

One said to another.

I turned around to face them.

"Wow, what's a beauty like you doing here, the human city is nearly 50 kilometres from here sweetheart."

"I am a wanderer but I guess I wandered a bit too far this time"

They smiled at my reply and introduced themselves to me, one was John and the other one was Chris.

I told them that what I was doing and they decided to help me.

"We will love to take some rest and enjoy your company if you don't mind?"

Well they looked like good people and I myself will enjoy some company ,so why not?

"Sure"

They smiled and we lit a fire and sat around it.

They were silent and I knew they were talking through the mind link.

"I guess you are talking good things about me?"

I said raising an eyebrow

"Huh?"

"We are not talking sweetheart"

John said

"I meant mind linking"

"You know!!!"

They replied together and had a similar shocked expression on their faces.

"Yaa I was myself in a pack once, now you can consider me a rogue just like you, we are more similar than you thought"

I said with a smile

"O thank god otherwise it would have been awkward, we haven't been in a human's company since long"

Replied Chris rubbing his neck in awkwardness.

We continued to talk for the next few hours but then they asked me that one question which reopened those deep wounds I have been trying to stitch since last 5 years

"So have you found your mate?"

Was the question and I went silent

They sensed my uneasiness and John said

"You don't need to answer that, it was personal and we just met so.."

"No that's alright, he was the Alpha of my pack and he rejected me 5 years back, but I guess he was right who would want a human as a mate, I am not Luna material anyways"

"Hey girl why do you say something like that, anyone would be lucky to have a mate like you, he must be blind to not realise that and I am sure he is regretting it"

John said .

We continued to talk for a few more minutes and then decided to call of the night.

I was trying to sleep but old memories disturbed my mind, those images were very difficult to erase

FLASHBACK(15 years back)

I and my sister were playing hide and seek in the woods, I was hiding and she was finding me, I was hiding in the bark of the tree and she was coming my way, she was metres away when I saw something black block my view of her, there stood a black wolf growling at my sister .

I was in a shocked state to even move a muscle ,and before I could even blink an eye he lunged at her and I screamed in fear.

"Novaaaaaaaa"

The wolf abruptly stopped and  turned around to look at me, it had blood-red eyes and never had I seen such a scary wolf.

It started taking small steps towards me, I closed my eyes fearing my death,

But it never came.
