The Wolf Who Saved Me

One by one, the boys have put back their shirts. Reule started the bonfire and told everyone to gather around it to discuss what they had found.

“So, boys, what have we found today? Anything out of the ordinary?” Reule asked.

“So far, Reule on my group, we have not found anything,” a cute curly guy answered.

“Excellent! Thank you, Jax! We also haven’t found anything out of the ordinary from the group that I lead. But this doesn’t mean that everyone must be complacent, especially with the pack’s safety. We must always be alert and prepared. Can I take everyone’s word that you will all do that?”

“Yes, Alpha Reule!”This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“Good! I am proud of you always for sticking together and keeping the safety of the entire pack as a priority. Now, let’s go, eat and have fun.”

Everyone cheered with joy, and suddenly music played from somewhere. It now appears that they are having a party. And it makes me feel like this is what the pack is waiting for tonight, to eat and have fun.

Adriana and Nana Lolita offered me food and told me to go and find a table for three. They will follow me after because they want to help distribute food to each pack member. They like doing that even if it’s tiring and they are the last ones to eat.

I found a round table in a corner far from the crowd, which fit only four people. I chose it because I feel unaccustomed to the group. I prefer to sit with people that I know to talk to them.

A Kizomba music started playing, and some men stood and asked some women to dance near the bonfire. Others were clapping and cheering for them. Even I clapped while my eyes widened. I am watching men with hot bodies and slim ladies doing intimate dances.

“Damn! I wish I could do that. They dance so sexy but gracefully,” I whispered. This pack keeps surprising me. I did not expect wolves to be able to dance like that.

Still engrossed with what I was watching when suddenly I heard Reule say, “Why do you have to stare at the males in my pack like that?”

“Ha!?” I said and looked at him.

“I said, why do you have to stare at the males in my pack like that?”

“Because I have eyes, and that is what it is made for – to see. Isn’t it?”

“But only the men?”

“Wouldn’t it be weird if I would keep staring at women? I am not a lesbian, my friend.”

Reule laughed.

“What is so funny?”

“You are! I did not expect that from you.”

“It’s true! I am a hundred percent straight female. You don’t believe me?”

“Oh, I do! I can see how amazed you are with the men here. And that’s what I am trying to understand as to why.”

“I have never seen a pack that all men have such perfect bodies.”

“That’s it!?”

“Whatever, Reule! And why are you even here? Shouldn’t you be with Ms. Blonde over there?”

I turned my head and looked in the direction of where Lila was sitting. She seemed to have lost her appetite and is playing with the salad.

“I can sit wherever I want. None of them can question that.”

“But she looks lonely.”

“I don’t care!”

“So harsh!”

Reule looked at me, annoyed. Then said, “Have you made your decision of what I asked before?”

“Oh, that! Yes, I did!”

“I don’t want to know it now. I will hear it tomorrow because I told you two days. In case you change your mind, you still have time.”

“I don’t think I will change my mind, but okay. I will tell you tomorrow.”

“And stop looking at my men like that. If you find the need to do that, look at me.”

I was surprised at how serious he was when he said that. I felt like it made my face hot for some reason. But I said, “Eww!”

He stood and said, “I am not joking. Don’t make me starve my men for them to turn as skinny as a stick because of you.”

I was about to argue, but he turned and left without looking back.

“What is with him acting like a jealous boyfriend? I am not interested in anyone in particular, all the more not interested in him. I appreciate the bodies and talent of the men he has. How can it be so wrong?”

I just finished saying that when Adriana came and sat next to me. She smiled and asked, “So, Wren, what do you think of this kind of routine?”

“I can see why the pack loves this because it’s fun. It’s not just run and eat. There is music and dancing. I have never expected that your pack has a talent for dancing,” I answered.

“Reule tries to accept every request and suggestion as long as it doesn’t interfere with the primary purpose. He wants everyone’s opinion and suggestions heard, and in that way, we can trust each other and work as a team.”

“I would agree. But where is your mom?” I looked around, and I could not find Nana Lolita.

“Don’t worry. My mom will be here soon to join us.”

“I am afraid that she might not be able to eat because she took care of everyone first.”

“My mom is always like that. She wanted to have many children, but she ended up only having me. So, she becomes like a mother to everyone here. It makes her feel like she has the number of children she wanted in life.”

“She is really meant to be a mom. I am proud of her because she is killing it.”

“Thank you! I am happy and proud that she is my mother, too.”

Adriana and I kept talking, but I could feel somebody staring at me with sharp eyes from a distance. I wonder if Reule was doing that because he left, and I did not see where he went.
