The Wolf Who Saved Me

He stepped out of the taxi cab and stood in front of his house. He smelled the fresh and cold breeze of the air.

“It’s good to be back,” He said with a smile before he entered his house. The moment he closed the door, his phone rang. His smile was turned into a frown when he saw the name on the screen.

“Acwulf, it’s been a long time,” he said, trying to sound that he was surprised.

“Yannis, you took a long leave,” Acwulf said to tease him. Yannis rolled his eyes and shook his head out of irritation.

“Well, the alpha of the Black Pack had allowed me for an indefinite leave. I will come back whenever I feel like going back. And besides, other witches are helping the pack.”

“Yeah, yeah… but you are the strongest and the smartest. No one had been able to match with you, except your parents, of course.”

“But how can I help you, Acwulf? Why are you calling?”

“You remember the time you had seen something about my future?”

“Yeah, what about it?” Yannis closed his eyes while waiting for Acwulf’s answer.

“I wanted to know…”

Before Acwulf could even finish what he wanted to say, Yannis interrupted him and said, “You wanted to know if you would still die in the future.”

“Ah, right.”

“The answer is yes, not unless you found the girl and took control of her.”

“Well, you said she was something different, right? I think I found one, and she will be handed to me very soon.”

“Then, you might leave longer than predicted.”

“But Yannis, how to know if I have the right girl? The last time you said you were unable to see her face. You still can’t see her face?”

Yannis sighed and replied, “So, you took the time and effort to find me just to ask that question?”

“Yannis, it’s my life on the line. I need to make sure I have the right girl. Don’t worry. I will not tell anyone that you are back in Lakewood. No one will know, so you can continue your leave of absence.”

“Acwulf, even if you tell everyone, I don’t really care. I am still not going back in helping the Black Pack. You guys owe me a lot of favors already. But to answer your question, I still don’t see her face. It’s for you to discover who she is.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Is there anything that could be done, Yannis? I don’t like to invest in the wrong girl. I even rejected my mate because she was just an ordinary wolf.”

“Acwulf, there is none for now. If in case there is, then I would give you a call.”

“It’s been years, Yannis. I could not believe that nothing had changed.”

“Acwulf, I am not a god who could change destiny. Perhaps praying with the moon goddess would help.”

“I have been praying and offering the moon goddess since you revealed this to me, and I don’t feel like she would answer my prayers.”

“Well, there is simply nothing that I could do for you. This is your journey. You have to find a way to deal with it.”

Acwulf gritted his teeth. He felt like he had wasted his time and money trying to find Yannis, and this is all he would say. He needed to find another witch who could help him. But who? He had been searching for years now, but he still could not find someone better or equivalent to Yannis. Acwulf ended the call so frustrated that he slammed his phone on the table.

“I have not seen her face, but I know which pack she belongs. However, I will not tell you. You find it yourself, lazy bastard!” Yannis muttered to himself as soon as the call ended. He and his family had been aiding the Black Pack for generations now.

Yannis’ clan was about to be wiped out a long time ago, but the alpha of the Black Pack saved one warlock at that time. And since then, they had been helping the Black Pack as gratitude. Yannis hated the Black Pack because most of them were ruthless, greedy, rude, and they thought witches were just their slaves. And so, when he was asked for a reward the last time he helped them, he asked for indefinite leave and to travel the world. He got tired of helping them. He did not want to come back this soon, but he had a vision that the woman he was destined to be with was in Lakewood. The spirits had asked him already to find her and saved her from ruining herself. Thinking that he would soon find love made Yannis feel happy. It had been a long time that he had been alone. It’s time for him to build a family. Yannis stood in the middle of the living room and recited an incantation.

In minutes, the house was removed of dust and dirt. It now looked like he just bought it. He went upstairs and took a shower. The warm water had relaxed his stiff muscles caused by long travel. Then, he lay on the bed and thought of her, his future wife.

‘What kind of woman would she be? Was she a witch? Or a human? Or a werewolf? I am curious, but I could never have a vision of her,” Yannis thought.

Since he had a vision that he would soon find the love of his life, he had used all sorts of spells and incantations to know who she was. But none of them seemed to work. All he could see was her back and her long hair as she was sitting near the river and not far from the territory of the Gray Pack.

‘You might be a werewolf and member of the Gray Pack. Not to worry. I will accept you for who you are. I am already in Lakeside, my love. I will find you, and soon we will be together. Please wait for me and don’t get into too much trouble. I don’t want to lose you.’ Yannis was exhausted, and after muttering that from his heart, he fell into a deep slumber. And dreamt of his beloved wife.
