Chapter 11

Colleen could see the sadness in Drake's eyes and she knew Drake took what she said, which was true, seriously and she understood why he would feel like that as if she was in the same situation she would feel the agony of being lied to as well. Drake needs to know his true identity before his birthday because she has a feeling something bad is going to happen to Drake soon that she is unaware of.She could sense it, but she could not predict what it could be. Earlier, those vampires had arrived in order to assassinate Drake. She could say Drake was fortunate that they were present when those vampires came or else they would have succeeded in killing him. Any second too late and they would have lost Drake, mortal enemy or not, Drake was their friend and friendships were not defined by race, nationality, or species. Now she could see that Drake was tense, especially after he checked his wristwatch and he declared that he didn't have much time to get back to their village. She felt sorry for Drake; by the way Drake moved his feet and stared at the clock; she knew that he was getting more anxious with every passing second. But she couldn't understand why there was a part of her that said that she should help Drake. It was a bad idea for her to get involved with the vampires. Building friendship with them could already be considered a mistake, but getting herself involved could cause chaos between the two species, especially that she was no ordinary werewolf but an Alpha. Every decision and action she made would reflect on her entire pack. One reckless decision could bring war between the vampires and werewolves. Though the two species maintained a distance between them, such involvement in their internal affairs could turn the tables around. Colleen knew all these like the back of her hands. However, there were troubling feelings at the back of her head and her heart that says she must help Drake. "We will help you," That phrase coming out of her mouth unconsciously with seriousness on her face made Drake knit his forehead in confusion. She knew that Drake couldn't understand how they could help him after all he lived his entire life knowing nothing about vampires and werewolves aside from the movies humans like to make as an entertainment. Drake looked back on his watch and he knew that there was no way that anyone could help him go faster, but the smirk on Colleen s face says otherwise. She looked at Brandon and she could see that Brandon understood what she meant. As Brandon stood up and entered his room, she then turned her attention to Drake. He continued to stare at her. "Let's wait for Brandon. If you want to get something for your family before we accompany you to your apartment, you better start getting those things ready now," She said. She remembered seeing her parents every time she saw them and she always saw her parents and Melissa. Every time she finishes her training in another country, she will have a few days' vacation with her own pack before she goes back to training in other places. Brandon had recently arrived with a coloured black backpack, which she knew was full of hers and Brandon's clothes. "Let's go," she declared. She shook her head to see Drake. She could see the questions in Drake's eyes. "Don't worry, we will arrive ahead of time, before your birthday. So hurry up, let's get moving" She instructed Drake. After that, Drake rose from where he was sitting and walked towards the door, as they followed him. **** Drake wondered how Colleen and Brandon would assist him in arriving on time, as Colleen had stated earlier on his birthday.He checked his wristwatch again; it was eight and a half o'clock.They had only three and a half hours before his birthday. After opening his apartment door, he took a deep breath and only took his wallet and phone that were all on the surface of the table that was next to his bedside. The two were seated on the couch in the living room, when he went inside his bedroom. He put all his important things in his duffle bag. He went to the bedroom before leaving. The two immediately stood up after they saw him exit his room. They were walking down a busy street in Sierra City not long ago. They had been together for almost ten minutes. While they are walking, he becomes irritated. It's not about them walking that makes him irritated, it's because he feels like they're running out of time. It was not his plan to celebrate his birthday. His plan earlier was that he was going to invite Colleen and Brandon to go with him to the bar. But because of those four men, his entire plan was ruined. And also, what Colleen said. He needs to talk to his parents before his twenty-one birthday. This all makes him feel annoyed. * I believe this is the ideal location. "Brandon's voice dragged him out of his deep thoughts. He looked at Brandon and Colleen after they stood on the side of the highway, where there were a lot of trees on the side. He knew this area where there were a lot of wild animals. Some city hunters are coming here to get some wild pigs and deer for their meals. He checked his wristwatch again five minutes before nine. He didn't notice that they walked for less than half an hour. He saw Brandon and Colleen go inside the dark part of the forest when Brandon came out looking at him. "Are you not coming? "You're just going to stand there like a stupid idiot, and you know you don't have much time before midnight," Brandon yelled at him, and he quickly followed Brandon back into the forest.He could tell Brandon was in a hurry because he was gradually removing his t-shirt while walking. When they entered the forest, he saw a white beast, a werewolf. white fur that appears as white as snowflakesHer long-furred tail The wolf s bold grey eyes are so calming and attractive. The teeth were so magnificently white.
