Knox
I threw another punch at the boxing bag, sweating bags but not ready to stop yet.
I was restless for some reason and I didn't know why.
I also feel antsy as fuck.
Usually whenever I feel this way, I tend to find someone willing to fuck. That was never hard, seeing as people never stop throwing themselves at me.
Both genders.
But right now, I wasn't in the mood for that.
I was about to throw another punch at the boxing bag when I felt a string of panic bleed right into my chest, the feeling sharp and intense, making me grow still.
"Knox!" A sharp voice echoed sharply through my mind a fleeting moment later, a note of urgency in the tone.
That was my wolf. He was calling out for me, and he was panicking.
I squinted in confusion stiffening at once.
Was he in danger?
I swore as I quickly tore the boxing gloves off my hands and picked up my shirt, sprinting out of the large gym and then taking the stairs instead of the elevator to avoid wasting time.
He should have just slipped back into me when I asked him to this afternoon, but of course he was stubborn as hell and refused. And right now, if he's some kind of danger, of course I'll have to get him out of it even if I might want to let him suffer a little, cause if he gets hurt, I get hurt.
And heaven forbids the truth of me and my wolf being able to separate gets out.
I followed the string I could feel in my chest, which was connected to Sky. After getting out of the platinum dorm, I was walking fast when a body ran into my chest, catching me off guard.
I groaned in frustration within myself. What's it with me getting run into so much today?
The person who ran into me peered up at me, grinning coyly and I let out a sigh cause I just knew this wasn't a mistake at all.
She ran into me on purpose.
Alicia.
A princess of one of the five werewolves kingdoms in the country.
Which means we were housed in the same platinum dorm, and which also means we crossed paths with each other, more than I'd liked. Each time we cross paths, I always regret the one time we ever fucked.
Cause since then, she's refused to leave me alone.
"Knox, it's so good to see you right now, how about w—"
I cut her off as i sidestepped her. "Alicia, I have something important to go take care of."
She stepped in front of me again, pressing her hands to my chest and I bit back a growl at the very last moment before wrenching her hands off.
"No touching." I barked and she huffed, pouting up at me.
"You're being mean to me." She mumbled, voice pitched high.
It grated on my nerves.
I rolled my eyes. No shit.
Her face glowed beautifully underneath the lights here and her sugary scent hit my nose, making my nose wrinkle. It was saccharine sweet and made my nose sting most times.
All omegas' scents are too sharp for my nose for some reason, so I've never gotten the urge to ever scent any of them.
"Later. Alicia." I told her as I walked past her and didn't stop walking despite her calling out to me.
I took turns and turns, walking down the lit up path until I got to the more darkened, deserted paths, then I sighted my wolf.
He was standing at the entrance of one of the numerous woods here in school.
"What is it, buddy? Are you hurt?" I asked quietly as I crouched before him and scratched his ears, feeling a wave of relief wash over me to see and feel that he was fine.
Except for his leg which still had a piece of cloth wrapped around. I was sure his leg was already healed but for some reason, he was yet to tear that cloth off.
"No, I'm not, but our human is in danger. We have to go save him." He revealed, bouncing on his legs and I blanched, shock gripping me hard.
"What?" I echoed as I regarded my wolf with disbelief, still feeling relieved that he was fine, and the rest of my worry slowly bled away. We might fight a lot but I care about him a lot.
A whole lot.
"He's in danger! I can feel it. Can't you?" Shy demanded and I gritted my teeth, resisting the urge to strangle him right now.
"I can't feel a damn thing, and haven't I asked you to stay away from that human? Even if he's in danger, why would I ever save a human?" A laugh left my mouth at the end of my sentence because I truly couldn't comprehend that.
I hate humans. Why would I save one?
My wolf shot me a wounded look. "He helped me last night when I was soaked in the rain! I need to save him too. We need to. You owe him for last night." he pressed, pushing an image into my mind as well to probably sway me.
It was an image of the human looking completely soaked in the rain, huddled in a small ball, but still working on pulling a dangerous looking trap from my wolf's hind leg. Even though he looked terrified out of his skin, he still helped my wolf.
That was… unusual.
Is the human stupid anyway? Who the fuck helps a wolf that might eat him right after?
But do I even need to ask anyway? Of course he's stupid. He spilled fucking coffee on me just this morning, and still couldn't apologize properly for that.
No one has ever dared to make a fool of me like that in forever.
I'm not gonna forgive him for that.
"I'm not going to save this human. What he did for you last night was nice, sure, but this is their fate since they walked through the school gates. I'm not gonna interfere, and you won't either." I informed Sky firmly, and his ears dropped before he let out a low, wounded sound, cause he already knew by the tone of my voice, I was a hundred percent serious and wouldn't be changing my mind.
I almost snorted at his reaction.
Why was he acting so attached to this human? It's so unlike him cause like me, he never gets attached to anything.
I opened my shirt and placed my thumb against my chest until the tattoo there glowed. This is the process that would make my wolf get back into me as he's supposed to.
He took a step back, like he was about to take off again and I growled.
"Sky!" A sharp warning.
He growled back at me and I rolled my eyes, huffing in frustration.
If I forcefully put him in right now like I could, he'll make it harder for me to find him next time once he sneaks away.
"If I do this, you'll go back in, and no sneaking off again once I'm asleep. Deal?" I reluctantly gritted out.
My wolf instantly perked up, his ears standing tall as he approached me again.
"Deal!" He agreed fast then turned around and began to move into the woods.
"Let's go fast! Before he gets hurt!" He urged.
I want to turn back around and return back to my dorm right now, but a deal is a deal and I need my wolf to stop sneaking away for both our safety.
Too bad I'll have to actually use my hands to save a fucking human of all people.
Worst, one who got on my nerves so much without us barely exchanging any words.
