Unique Wolf

Old Mill Party

After spending the night with Hope in her wolf form she asked me to give her some space to call her aunt Freya, and uncle Kol. I of course agreed, understanding needing to speak to the family members she trusts most, and left her in our room. I wondered around the school to see what there was to do; laughing when Jed and his wolves ran the other direction when they saw me.

I ended up hanging out with Josie and Lizzie. They're not as bad as Hope makes them sound SOMETIMES. She has a very bipolar relationship with these two. 

"So, are you ready for tonight?" Lizzie asked me.

"What's tonight?" I looked a Josie. She always seemed to save me in situations like this.

"Party at the old Mill. The full moon is tomorrow so the pack wants to have a party tonight since they can't after the game tomorrow." Josie explained.

I nodded at them. Right, a full moon. My first full moon since the fire. My first full moon with a mate. What was going to happen tomorrow?

I texted Hope if it was okay for me to stop by and get some clothes since the twins were taking me to the old mill tonight. Before she had a chance to reply Lizzie grabbed my phone.

"Don't even worry about bothering her right now. We're going to dress you up tonight." Lizzie smiled then looked at Josie. "Right, Jo?"

Josie smiled. "I got the perfect top."

I walked to the old mill with Josie and Lizzie. Hope had texted me that she would meet me there later since she began helping Alaric with something after she spoke to Freya and Kol.

She said hopefully they would be done soon because she was already dying to see me because she missed me. It made butterflies appear in my stomach and I couldn't help but smile.

Josie and I got some drinks and sat down by the bonfire. Lizzie went off with MG. The bonfire reminded me of home. The nights when we would camp out on the full moon. When we were safe.

Josie got busy talking to a blonde; who's name I learned was Jade. I just looked around the party hoping to see Hope already.

What could her and Alaric be doing that's taking her so long? She said she was dying to see me and now here I am dying to see her while it's only been a couple hours since I last saw her.

"Who are you looking for?" I turned to see Penelope taking a seat by me.

"Oh, uh just my roommate." I shrugged playing it cool.

Hope and I haven't told anyone what's going on. We don't want pressure from anyone else. It's also nice to have something that's just ours.

"She'll be here. She always shows up late." Penelope shrugged. "So, how are you? How's it been adjusting to the change?" She genuinely sounded interested in what she asked.

"I'm okay given my situation. It's been an easier transition than I would have thought." I tell her honestly.

Hope has made this transition a thousand times easier. I'm not sure what I would be like if I didn't have her or our connection.

"Yeah, I bet. So, tell me about yourself, I don't know much about you other than you're a "unique wolf" and I want some more explanation on that." She put air quotes around unique wolf.

"Well, there's not much to explain. I'm a different breed of werewolf. My breed of wolves can be born or bitten. I was born a wolf." I shrugged.

"So, no killing anyone to trigger the curse?" She looked interested.
