I start running away from where everyone else is heading. They were going to the threat that was invading our land.
My plan was to run as fast as I could before anyone notice that I wasn't going to show up to help with the threat. I knew this is my only chance to run away from the pack. Everyone is concentrating on the threat, so they won't be thinking about me using this chance to run away.
Eventually, when someone does notice that I’m missing, I’ll activate my superpower and zap out of here. I only hope that it’ll be far enough away, so I won’t be able to hear their thoughts anymore.
I don't want to return to them in guilt of running away, especially with a threat on the land, even if it's a small threat that dad could easy take care of. He is set on using this threat to make me Leader. I shiver just thinking about how they would be disappoint in me, but I need to leave for myself.
The average werewolf mind bond with the pack is 30 miles. I'm pretty sure I can read a mind a lot further than that, but I’m not sure how far I could read them. After all, I’ve never gotten further than 15 miles at the most before I had to turn around. It can’t be more than 50 miles, though.
If I think about it, it’s so weird that I'm able to know what a regular werewolf is supposed to be like. I haven't even met a regular werewolf, only my pack, but they’re not exactly normal with the whole scentless thing.
All werewolves already know how to read and write without ever being taught. It's our instinct to know all this. All of the knowledge that our ancestors learned is passed down to us. I wouldn't be surprised that deep down I know another language since my ancestors were all Leaders.
Surely, at some point in time, they had to learn a different language. I do like all the knowledge being passed down, because imagine a young werewolf being forced to stay still for 8 hours in school or a teenage wolf with their mood swings would pick fights with the human teenagers over every little thing. It would be a disaster waiting to happen since it’s a major rule that humans cannot know that werewolves exist.
Even so, regular werewolves do give their younger werewolves schooling. It's a training camp where different packs that are in alliance with each other allow younger werewolves to train together, so they don't miss out on socializing with new people. I wish my pack had something like that.
Some days, I really hope I could just be a normal werewolf or even better than that a human.
If I get away, I’m going to find a way to make it so nobody knows that I’m a werewolf, so that I can be just a regular human. Just thinking about living as a regular human, makes me all happy inside. If I'm a human, maybe I can make friends and go to college. I start to daydreaming about making friends and being in a school environment until I hear a voice shouting at me.
"Hey Kia, where are you going?" The 6’5” man, which was a few inches shorter than me, shouted. He was in his human form, which shocked me at first, then I remember everyone was going to be transform into their human form today because of how nice the weather was.
The weather was actually 5 degrees instead of being in the negatives, so it was perfect weather for our human form. The man shares the same porcelain skin and fluffy white hair as me. His piercing icy blue eyes met my own lighter ones. It was my big brother, Drew.
"Hey Kia, why are you not going in the direction of the threat?” Drew said in a soft voice.
I let a huff out.
"Is something bothering you? Turn into human form and talk to me. Please, it's rare for us to be outside in our human form." He pleaded.
I love my brother. I want him to know that I'm leaving, so he won’t worry about me. Maybe I can convince him this time that I need to leave and he should be the one to take over.
I can't really remember the last time I saw my brother in his human form in the light. We usually have to transform into our human form in our pack house that’s underground and is lit by poor fire light, so you can't really tell what anybody looks like, but it's warm enough for us to stay in our human form for a little bit.
We have to transform into our human form once in awhile or you can start losing your human side, and once you lose your human side, you will turn into a feral wolf.
A feral wolf is a wolf that’s just running on instinct and they don't care about anything just survival. They are always in attack mode. When they see other wolves, they start attacking and will fight to the death.
I decide to transform into my human form, because looking into his eyes made me have this feeling that I could convince my brother that I need to leave. I want to say my goodbyes to him.
He is my only brother in the world. I also don't know when I’ll be able to be in my human form, so to be safe I should use this little time to regain my human side. I don’t remember when I was last in human form. Since I’m so much stronger, I can go longer than normal and I sort of lost count of how many days it's been.
