#7 Just another lone wolf

Just another lone wolf

It all started with Lianna just being an ordinary werewolf. She was a normal child, normal parents (well as much as werewolfs can be normal), normal sister

and a normal life. She was happy as a child. The older she got the more depressed she got. Then... she met her savior.

'Just add some more shading there' Avianna said and I did as told. Huh not bad. 'Told you' She responded with a proud tone in her voice.

I laughed and countinued on the sketch that was resembling the outside of my window. I then sighed and put down my sketchpad, pulling out my dark blond hair

from my hair tie, the hair needing a cut. I stood up and took my white headphones, putting them on and immidiatley letting the tension leave my shoulders and

focusing on the music in my ears. Looking at the light shining in through the window and leaving streaks on my bed. 'Just breath, it's another normal day'

Avianna told me and I nodded agreely.

Opening the door out to the hallway and letting the sounds from the other wolves in the pack house get blocked out by my headphones. 'It's a good day'

Avianna told me and I smiled back. Yeah I guess.

Walking into the kitchen and I grabbed a glass of water and a red apple. Breakfast wasn't really my thing you could say.

Blocking everyone out in the kitchen I went into the living room and sat down on one of the couches and started eating. Suddenly my headphones got ripped off

of me by my mom.

"No headphones when eating with people we've said, you need to learn respect Lianna" She said to me with a stern look on her face. I looked down. "Sorry mom"

I answered automatically.

My mom walked back to her spot on a couch a bit further to the front. I took up my phone and turned off the music. I went back to eating my now half eaten

apple but the hunger had almost dissapeared. I was going to walk up again to my room when my mom called after me, "and you stay a bit longer, you need to be

more with other persons" I just nodded as a respons, knowing I didnt have a choice in the matter.

Being an onsociable 16 year old girl with misophonia, anxiety and being a perfectionist has it perks sometimes, not relly, like easier being excused from too

much persons. But of course not by my mom.

I took up my phone and started scrolling through messages, to distract myself from the noises in the room, with Korie, my only friend. I mean it's not like

I've tried getting friends, I'm more neautral, I like being alone and everyone in my pack knows this. Everyone is nice to each other here and if I'd wanted a

friend, I probably could've gotten one. Then I looked through the messages of me and Brody, my boyfriend, of how we we're going to meet tonight. I smiled

small and messaged him back. Then the sounds came back.

I tried taking deep breaths and focus on something, anything other than the sounds. People chewing, talking, open mouths, tapping fingers, tongue outside

mouth, licking the food off their fingers. People chewing, talking, open mouths, tapping fingers, tongue outside mouth, licking the food off their fingers.

People chewing, talking, open mouths, tapping fingers, tongue outside mouth, licking the food off their fingers. Chewing, talking, mouths, tapping, tongue,

licking fingers. Chew, talk, mouth, tap tap, lick, was all I could hear.

I started to feel the rage inside me, the feeling of needing to release. Needing to breath.

I heard my moms footsteps on the floor stopping before me. Looking up at her. Her hair brown like my sisters. Her figure slim like most werewolves. "You can

leave now Lianna" She said to me and I quickly thanked her and walked back to my room.

Sitting down on my small bed and taking a deep breath. I took my headphones back on, loud volume and just laid down taking another deep breath. Finally the

peace.
