The Rejected Female Wolf - Chapter 28: Chapter 28

I turned around to get a quick glance but all I saw was the pack piling up the dead bodies. I turned my attention back to the man and he looked frightened and ready to shit his pants.
"What?" I growled.
"Y-your e-eyes," he stuttered out.
Crap! My eyes must've gotten red at some point. "It's true. It's real. Everyone thought you were a myth and you aren't," he struggled to breath. He was starting to die from blood loss.
"You're real," he sputtered out blood before falling dead on the ground.
I bent down and lifted him off the ground.
With confusion and fear, I made my way to the pile of dead hunters in the center of the pack. I tossed him on top and someone started a match and began to burn the bodies. None of them deserved a proper burial.
As I saw the red flames dancing on the bodies, someone placed their hand on my shoulder. I didn't turn away but continued to face the fire.
"What happened with the guy?" Luke asked confusion lacing his voice.
"I am a myth," I whispered quietly enough that even the wind sounded louder in the air than my voice.
"What did you say? I couldn't hear you over the noise of the fire," Luke leaned his head closer to me.
I cleared my throat. "Oh I just got really mad that he started to call Jared bad things," I partially lied. Luke either didn't catch on or he didn't want to push the subject.
Awkwardly yawning, I removed Luke's hand from my shoulder. "Welp, I'm tired so I'm going to take a short nap so I can be awake when I figure out the training schedule and how it's going to work."
I yawned again just to add the effect and walked away from Luke and headed towards the pack house. I guess I'll be living here now since I am the new Alpha. Passing by the room Jared was in, I glanced around making sure no one was near before entering the room.
I slip in bed beside Jared and I let his head rest on my chest. Now don't start thinking gross because he is my brother and he is in a coma so I have the right to cuddle him.
I wrap my arms around him and I place my head on top of his head.
"I need you to get better. I didn't know how bad I would miss you if you were gone, but now that you practically are I feel lonely. Please wake up. I need your help. Today I was finally able to get revenge on the person who put you in this situation, but it was something that he said that makes me feel unsafe. He said I was a myth. What does that mean? He looked so scared," I sighed.
"Please, Jared. Come back to me. I love you," I whisper quietly and kiss his forehead.
Getting comfortable, I close my eyes and let sleep drift to me.
"Jenna," a soft mother like tone ringed in the air.
I groaned and turned around. It was then everything from the day before rushed back to me. I shot up in bed and looked around. I was somehow back in my room and no one else was here.
'Crystal you heard that too right?' I asked slowly.
'Yeah. I heard that,' and she shut me out. Well then. I swear I heard a voice just now. Shrugging it off yet keeping it behind my mind, I got up and made my way to the shower. As I showered, I thought of who was the person to take me back to my room and if they heard my one sided conversation with an unconscious Jared.
I dried myself and slipped on a pair of white and black leggings with an intricate design, a grey sweatshirt and some black combat boots.
Not knowing what to do with my hair, I just let it loose and pulled on a grey beanie to add some cuteness. (Pic on the side)
I exited the room and made my way to go check on Jared and then eat breakfast. As I headed in the direction to Jared's temporary room, I hear a muffled voice in the room. Being cautious, I lean my head a bit close to the door.
"Come on man," a voice sniffles," She needs you. I know this sounds a bit gay, but I need you. You're my best friend and you are the one who stuck around to help me recover. Please don't leave. Jenna needs you. She thinks I don't know, but I have heard her cry and it hurts me knowing how I can't help her. She needs you man. Stay alive for her. She doesn't hate you. I know it because last night, I came to visit you and I saw her cuddled up next to you deeply asleep. I took her back to her room and she'll probably freak out that she isn't here, but I really need to talk to you even if you won't respond with your idiotic comments," I heard another sniffle and a light laugh," I have to go before she wakes up and comes looking for you or me, but whatever you do please don't leave. Not now that the war may start."
