One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf

Chapter 33

Hailey's POV

The day started off perfect..

With Jaxon's romantic gestures, the proposal and now we were headed back to his pack, for another

surprise. He said this one needed his entire pack to be attendance....

A wedding? Perhaps.. I would have liked to plan my own thing but I know Jaxon can do a good job with

all the help at his disposal. The car slows down and we see that some houses plus some buildings

were on fire, hearing screams that go on for miles and Jaxon jumps out of the car, running towards the

screams as he shifts midair in to his big wolf.

It was something of a movie how he just ran off. In my head, everything happened in slow motion...

kind of majestic, magical to see him shift as he runs. Something really cool.

Caiphus looks at me, eyes in alarm.. His wolf begging for a shift as his eyes flicker from one color to

the next and back.. I nod my head for him to go and he runs out, just like Jaxon, shifing in to his wolf.

I step out of the car to undress like a normal person and shift calmly, unlike the others.. They are good

at this and I can never see any of them becoming shy from being naked in public but for me, as I once

was human, shredding clothes I will need later seems a little crazy to me.

"Oh you don't need to do that. I have you where I want you.. let's skip the shifts and the snap, crackle

and pops.." Stacy says to me. I feel my body grow cold as her eyes.

Stacy was not supposed to be here. My father said that she was locked up and that I was safe... I was

so relaxed. I had forgotten about her for a minute and I trusted my dad... I thought I'd be safe and

now....

She looked about the same, hair in place and dressed head to toe in somebody else's money.

"I thought about this you know, if I should come back to the pack and ask for forgiveness, your dad

would pardon me if he takes in to account the history we share and I can be your new mother! I mean

once again I have to deal with you, just can't seem to get rid of you.... but your new daddy rejected me,

multiple times and even locked me up! Even after I told him that I will find a way to like you but I guess

he saw right through my lie and well, here we are." She says to me. Voice a little to chipper for my

liking but I guess she was about to get her way with me....

I get dressed quickly as she talks on and on, using that moment to cover up and hopefully in time, have

Jaxon return to me.

"What do you want with me Stacy?" I ask trying to stall.

"I want to kill you. With you dead, your father will be all mine and I can be the luna of our pack. I know it

is unheard off but before you, I was in the running for that position... you killed all of that and now I am

here to correct things." Stacy rants. My heart leaps from out of my chest in fear...

"You do know I am mated to an alpha right? I will be luna of this pack soon so you won't have to worry

about me.." I say and she laughs at me.

"Why do you think your father is still here? To watch her daughter mate for the first time? Don't be silly.

He is here to secure his daughter's alpha status by bringing the two packs together and there is no way

I would allow that, not after all my hard work." She says to me before pulling me by the hair and

dragging me away from the car and in to the woods.

I feel Adira get annoyed, her anger taking over me and before I know it, my wolf has pushed me back

and she takes control. Punching Stacy with brut force, she goes flying but lands on her feet a few feet

away from us. Growling at me, she charges for us and Adira quickly shifts in to her wolf and runs in the

same direction.

My panic rising as we approach a fast running Stacy, who seems to be quite angry... happy to be

watching and not participating because I would not know what to do, even after the many combat

training and exercises, danger just brings out the sheer dumbness in me as I freeze every damn time.

A wolf jumps in front of us, barring her teeth at an angry Stacy. Adira stops running, giving me back the

controls and we shift back, kneeling on the ground because... we are naked.

The two wolves fight, biting in to each other but our savior wolf gaining the upper hand with each blow

until Stacy is on the ground, bleeding out. They both shift back in to human form, Stacy still on the

ground but quickly healing already.

The wolf that saved me shifts back in to the one person I never thought would ever come to my

rescue..in fact, I had always believed she would be one of the people to kill me if I was ever to be killed

but here she was, fighting Stacy to keep me alive.

Azuri has just saved my life, knocking Stacy out and dragging her away from me, she leaves me alone

to collect my thoughts. I watch her disappear with Stacy in tow, never looking back at me.

I stand up, having shred my clothes, I had no choice but to walk back to the car and hopefully find

something to cover up and pray that I don't bump in to anyone on the way, looking for me.

The walk isn't long and I get to the car.

The screams have stopped and all I can hear are grunts, growls and whines coming from straight

ahead. I jump in to the front seat, happy that Caiphus had left the keys in the ignition and I start the car. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

I drive past many houses, most of them torched or still burning and people crying or hugging each

other with relief. They look on to the car that drives past, thankful that my body is well hidden, I drive

on. I keep driving hoping to find my father or Jaxon, anyone really that I can feel safe with... even my

beta.

I feel my insides twist at the thought of Cayden... I was worried about him. I arrive at the house,

everyone just standing there in a circle. I see Azuri in that circle, nobody turning to face me as the car

approaches until I open the door and they all turn to look at me, Jaxon looking at me in horror before

running up to me.

He looks me up and down, puling me out of the car to inspect for any injuries until he finds none. I pull

away from him, slightly annoyed at the way he was handling me in public and that I was stark naked.

Poking at his shirt, he chuckles first before taking it off and putting it on me.

I open my mouth to protest but Adira begs me to hush.. something about his wolf needing to do this

and I allow it. We walk to join everyone and I finally see them all surrounding Stacy and the men she

brought with her. I look up at Azuri, our eyes meet before my feet move themselves and I walk up to

her, pulling her in for a hug. She is stunned, not feeling her body move to hug me back but I needed to

do this, for me. She saved my life when she did not have to, I owe her so much more.

Pulling away, I turn to face everyone.

"Azuri saved my life before Stacy could take it. I was no match for Stacy but Azuri handled that pretty

well." I say, turning to face her once again, "Thank you. You and I don't get along for reasons well

known but you saved me when you did not have to. I am not your luna yet and yet you saved me, I can

never repay you." I say.

Jaxon walks up to us, taking Azuri's hand and looking at her with so much warmth, almost feeling

jealous, Jaxon pulls away to stand next to me. Azuri blushes, which rubs me wrong way before shaking

it off..

"Thank you Zuri." I hear Jaxon say, hugging her again for whatever measure. Everyone starts pouring

in to give thanks to her, everyone except for my dad and our pack.

I feel someone stand next to me and it us Cayden, my heart finding relief to see him alive and well,

even dressed.

"She did what she was supposed to. As a warrior, it is her job to ensure your safety. She was trained to

put her feelings aside and to fight, can't reward someone for doing their job." My beta, Cayden says to

me.

I somehow feel that as a way to comfort me after last night's display from Jaxon and his Zuri but I'll take

it. Just happy to hear his voice...

My dad nods in agreement to what Cayden just said as we walk away from the crowd. Dad pulls me in

for a side hug and Miriam takes my hand as we all walk back in to the house.

They were all happy to see me...and I them...

I rush to the guest room I slept in to freshen up again, my heart refusing to part with Jaxon's shirt but it

is needed and I think I can still wear it right after I have showered. Doing just that, I take my time to

carefully rid myself of Stacy's scent and the dirt I seem to have picked up along the way... once

finished, I dry myself with a fresh towel. I leave my hair to air dry, putting Jaxon's shirt back on and

walking back in to my bedroom.

"You need training." Is the first thing Jaxon says to me as I emerge out of the bathroom.

He was lying down on the bed but quickly sits up to look at me, he had a serious expression on his

face.

"Training? I am doing that already." I say, sitting on the bed too but with a little distance.

"Had you been trained properly, you would not need Zuri to save you. I would not have to worry about

you if there is ever any trouble..but now, I can never leave you alone and I had no idea you were the

one in danger. " Jaxon says to me.

"I did not ask Zuri to save me. In fact, I was just told that it was her duty to protect me so I don't know

why you're on my case right now." I say, getting annoyed with him.

"Hailey, you are not part of the pack yet and she saved you because.." He says but I interrupt him.

"Because of you? Oh I am fully aware that was her main reason.. I am not stupid." I say.

"You don't get it." He says to me and I chuckle before responding to him.

"Oh I get it. Trust me I get it... I am so sorry I'm such an inconvenience to you. I mean I was human not

so long ago, this whole world is new to me and you expecting me to be able to fight a werewolf who

has had years of training is a little insulting. I have been a werewolf all of 5 minutes and I am honestly

sick of all the crazy expectations. Sorry alpha, I am such a disappointment... had I still been human, I'm

sure I would not be expected to fight another animal." I say.

Jaxon opens his mouth to say something but closes it again.

"You were born in this world and were trained to fight or possibly even kill since werewolves don't care

about taking someone elses life but you need to understand that I am still right at the beginning like a

fresh new pup. Give me a break will you? Go be with Zuri, your strong werewolf girl. I don't need this

from you right now." I say standing up and opening the door for him.

He stands up and walks out the door without protesting. That hurts me a little but I don't show it and I

make sure not to bang the door as I close it, Cayden's foot stops me from doing so and I let him in.

I throw myself on the bed, my beta joining in on the action and we just sit in silence... a comfortable

silence.

Something I welcome right now, especially since it is with Cayden. Somehow, he is the only person I

seem to want to be around except for Jaxon...
