A Howl in the Mist, Cassidy R. Whitmire [black female authors txt] 📗

Running as hard as I can feeling the mist of the wind against my fur as I leap through the forest. My heart pounding against my chest breathing so hard I can see my breath. "Cant be late to our graduation Darius was going to take me out before it he said he has a surprise for me"

I keep thinking to my self over and over again. As I turn the corner there is a cliff, not able to stop my legs pumping at full speed I tumble off of the steep cliff rocks pelting my fur. Hitting the ground with great force I can see a puddle of blood around me, pain sores through my body. All I can do is lay there, not being able to feel my legs slowly I shift into my human form. So much pain I keep hoping to pass out, slowly my eyes flutter. Then I hear in the distance a voice I can tell it is a male before I can force my eyes open to see if it was anyone I know I pass out a puddle of blood surrounding my body.

Jacob's POV

I follow my nose I can smell a sweet aroma somewhere near the creek of the forest. As I get closer I can smell blood, I can sense something is wrong. Starting to run I shift into my wolf form so I can reach it quicker. My legs caring me closer and closer I can feel that I am almost there. Stepping into a clearing the scent is its strongest here, quickly looking around trying to find what I can smell. At first I see nothing then I look at a corner I can see a bundle of something I inch closer. Realizing what it is I turn human crouching by her side "She's beautiful"

I whisper to myself. Gazing at her beautiful brown hair with blonde highlights so blonde they are almost white. Her perfect skin tone a light tan. As I gaze at her I realize I am slowly falling in love. Gasping I quickly realize she must be my mate. Slowly picking her up into my arms. "I cant leave her here must get her to safety"

I think to myself as I take off running to my mansion. "Drake and the guys better not get any ideas when they see her."

When I reach the mansion I can see Jake outside of it mansion smiling at me. Realizing that he notices the beautiful girl in my arms I glare at him and growl a low growl. He walks over to me slowly keeping his eyes on me then gazing at the girl "who is this beauty you brought for the pack"

Jake says licking his lips examining her. "She is my mate"

I snarl at him, "she will not become any of the packs you understand"

I say in a deep tone using my alpha voice to show I am now joking with him. Eyes widening he gasps and looks at the girl "how do you know she's your mate?! just because you saw her first! does she even know that she is in your arms?!"

he asks practically screaming at me I can tell he is trying to control his wanting for her."I can feel it in my soul"

I snarl at him "I could smell her aroma from a far distance then I could feel what she was feeling I am one hundread percent sure this is my mate."

Walking past him I growl a deep growl warning him not to get ideas. "Ya!"

he calls out to me "Her scent is really good! You better watch Keanen you know he cant control himself from a girl especially since she is passed out!

he calls out to me quickly walking away. Looking down at her I open the door and quickly run up stairs to my bed room, slamming the door shut and locking it so none of the other guys will come in searching for her aroma. Gazing at her I take in her beauty trying to fight back my wolf wanting her wanting to seal the mating bond. Getting a wet rag I dab it on her forehead waiting for her to awake. I hear a commotion down stairs sighing I turn and walk out of the room gazing at her before I shut the door.

Krista's POV

Moaning I slowly wake up my eyes heavy looking around the room I realize i have bruises all over my arms and my legs and that i'm not in the forest anymore. Quickly leaning forward a pain striking my leg but I ignore it and soon realize i'm not even in my house. Then I see the door crack open covering my head under the covers I look at the door peaking from the cover slightly. Seeing a figure step into the room I shiver in fear as it comes closer the dark figure. As it steps into the the light I finally see its features my mouth dropping open. "Hes so handsome"

I think to myself as I look at his features. Staring at his eyes I fall deep into them they are a grey with green and blue combined. "His eyes... they are stunning"

I whisper to myself as I look at the rest of his features. His skin is tan almost brown like, his lips are slightly red I can see his canines peaking over his bottom lip slightly. Gasping I realize his hair it is brown with black highlights his bangs slightly cover one of his eyes. A chill goes down my spine as I look at this gorgeous man in front of me. "Hey I know your under there"

he says sending a chill down my spine his voice is so sweet and soft yet also it is strong. He walks over towards the bed and sits beside me putting a had on my stomach "he must think thats my back"

I think to myself. "Come on come out I wont hurt you."

he says smoothly. I slip out from under the covers and look at him he stops and stares at my eyes as I look into his I realize, our eyes are almost the exact same but his are brighter with the blue mine is bright with the green. Smiling he says, "Hi sleeping beauty how are you?"

his voice hypnotizes me "Hi"

I say my voice shaking I can tell I am blushing looking at his smile. "So whats your name?

he says to me his smile getting bigger. "Kr-Krista and yours?"

I say sitting up "My names Keanen"

he says smiling at me making me melt by the warmth of his smile "You are beautiful..."

He says leaning in closer to me, blushing I lean in closer his lips are so close to mine. "kiss me"

He says in a soothing voice putting his arm around my waist pulling me closer. As soon as I hear that I kiss him slowly putting my arm around his neck then I quickly pull away blushing. "Your a good kisser"

He says putting his hand on the back of his neck blushing he's looking down trying to hide it. "Your so handsome..."

I say aloud quickly putting my hand over my mouth realizing what I just said but he just smiles. "Come on cutey Jacob is waiting for you. He's worried sick"

he says holding out his hand to help me up. Grabbing his hand he pulls me up pulling me close to him and he hugs me "You can't be Jacobs mate.. your to beautiful... maybe me and you should be mates?

He says gazing at me I blush at the thought. Then I think about Darius and quickly say "I-I can't I have a boyfriend"

He frowns at me "Maybe you can think about it?"

He says his eyes with hope "alright"

I say blushing then remembering that Darius isn't a werewolf I cant tell him anything else about Darius so he wont find out. Leading me outside the door he holds onto my hand and picks me up, running down the stairs I giggle. When we step into the room I see three more men none of them as handsome as Keanen except the one that is glooming at me with loving ad caring eyes. Keanen slowly lets me down kissing my neck putting his arms around my waist as I stand in front of him. "Keanen!!"

The man sitting down yells at Keanen growling as he says it. Keanen instantly snarls at him stepping in front of me"you don't deserve Jacob, alpha or not she obviously is my mate!"

the man whose name I assume is Jacob snarls at Keanen then looks at me as if i'm suppose to walk over to him and throw my arms around him making a big scene. My eye brow raises and I swoop my arms around Keanen "can you walk home with me?"

I ask making me sound like I love Keanen just to make Jacob a little angry. "Sure"

Keanen says smiling at me in delight I glance at Jacob he is frozen looking as if someone punched him in the gut. Ignoring it I shift into my wolf form turning to look at Keanen to let him know that i'm ready to leave. Realizing all the male wolves in the room are staring at my wolf drool hanging from there mouth as they all slowly form into wolves. My ears go back as they all walk towards me slowly only Keanen and Jacob not in the trance. All of a sudden one of the male wolves come lunging at me holding me down by my neck trying to bond with me, I hear Jacob and Keanen growl as I whimper when he finally gets it in slowly but not that deep. Before I know it I see him flying off of me looking behind me I see a huge wolf with black fur and a dark grey under belly and feet the tip of his tail also dark grey. He helps me up and we gaze into each others eyes "this must be Keanens wolf"

I think to myself but then I notice that keanen is fighting back the other guys in human form. "hurry run away run home quick!"

I hear the wolf barking at me with a slight growl quickly I get up and run out of the house as fast as I can. Pumping my legs as hard as I can I turn the corner seeing the cliff I fell off of before. Turning trying not to make the same mistake as before I manage to make it excitement sores through me as I keep running towards my graduation party. "Darius is gonna kill me since i'm late"

I keep thinking making me run faster.

Darius's POV

"Where is she?!?!"

I scream at my parents She's an hour late!!!

I complain burying my head into the pillow on the couch. "She will be here"

They keep assuring me as if I am some kind of a crazy child who is waiting for Santa Clause to come down the chimney. "Stop treating me like a child!"

I demand banging my hand on the coffee table in front of the couch. "We aren't honey we are just letting you know that she will come pretty soon"

, they tell me with a worried tone in there voice, I can tell that I am scaring them by how I am acting I should stop thinking to myself. "Ok, whatever"

I mumble as I walk outside to wait for her. "maybe I
