Alpha's Hunt - Chapter 14

14. Laws of curiosity
Everyone starts running.
I take a step forward but Luke grabs my arm. I look
back at him but he just shakes his head.
"What are you doing?" I raise my eyebrows "everyone
else is getting ahead!"
Luke takes two bags, puts one on each of his
shoulders and leaves the bigger two on the ground.
"It's a Hunt, not a race." He says "pick those up and
follow behind."
Luke starts for the furthest side of the forest. I huff and
pick up one of the bags only to fall back on the ground.
"You might want to be careful," a deep voice drifts to
my ears "you don't have werewolf strength anymore."
What?!
"What do mean?" I say, barely able to keep up with
him
"When Korra locked your wolf, she locked a lot of
other things too." Luke says, eyes on the map "By that
I mean any possible advantage of being a werewolf."
"So we have nothing left?" I ask in horror "no speed or
strength or smell or anything?!"
"Of course I do." Luke says
"What?" I furrow my brows, he's not making any sense
"I'm an Alpha. You're an omega." He says, as if that
settles it
My sharp reply vanishes on my tongue as a wave of
cold crashes over me. I shudder a little and glance up
at the towering trees.
"What was that?" I mutter more to myself than to Luke
"We've entered the forest." Luke says, striding forward
"now there's no going back."
I look back at the clearing where' everyone left their
cars. Hesitantly, I hold out a hand and reach forward.
My hand brushes against something cold and gel like.
An invisible wall. I try to push my hand through it but
pull back as the burning cold starts traveling up my
arm.
"Come on, Hazel!" Luke says from ahead
"Coming!" With one last glance at the plains we left
behind, I turn around and hurry after him
...Now there's no going back...
***
We didn’t talk much, just walked further and further. I
didn’t see any apparent danger that could kill us by
now.
"Luke," I say, he grunts in response "as much as I hate
to say this, we can't walk through the whole forest on
the first day."
"I know." Don't forget to leave a Comment
