Death Wolf Saga
Death Wolf Chapter 56 (Book 2)

The Rise of death wolf

18 years later

Riverwhale Human grounds.

Winterhale high School.

A bell rings making the children to flood in ,in the corridors of the human school.

The usual chatter echoing around.

Within minutes, the place looks deserted as all students settle in their respective classes.

Except for one.

“Sh**! Sh**! Sh**! I am late again!’

She exclaims, talking to herself. Her old white sneakers screeching against the tiled floor of the school corridor.

As she runs along the empty hall.

Her long brown hair flowing in the air,and those unique pair of grey eyes looking at the class doors in anxiousness.

Coming to an abrupt halt, her shoes screech against the tiles of the corridors.

As she breathes heavily, trying to catch her breath . Adjusting her bag that was casually hanging on her shoulder.

Moistening her dry mouth. She gulps before announcing her arrival loudly.

“May I come in ma’am!”

The teacher looks at her from below her spectacles. Her lips set in a thin line ,as the girl mouths her a sorry.

Shaking her head, the teacher leans back on her chair and sighs, tired of telling this girl everyday.

“A very good morning Alexandria. What was it today?’

The teacher asks, with a look of irritation evident in her eyes. Eager to hear today’s excuse which she expected was again going to be one of her lies.

Unknown to her,that today’s story was not an excuse, it was genuine.

“Ah Mrs Fernandes! You won’t believe! A little squirrel was laying injured on the sidewalk near the school entrance!”

“And a crow was seeking the opportunity to pick it up and hunt it.”

“Now tell me, how could I have left that innocent being to die like that? For what you ask, our everyday class?”

“So I picked it up and took it to a veteran. He told me it was a fracture in its leg. Serious, but not threatening. So you see, the little emergency got me a bit late.”

The teacher looks or rather stares at the girl. Not knowing what to say anymore.To only shake her head, nodding at her.

The girl never fails to entertain or rather convince her.

“Come in Alexandria. Hope the squirrel is doing fine now?”

“You don’t need to worry Mrs Fernandes, the little squirrel is in good hands now.”

Walking in, Alexandria looks around to find her favourite seats taken.

Expected.

Her friends give her a sorry look for not saving her a seat and she just waves them off, saying it’s fine.

Taking a empty seat and settling down.

The class progresses like usual.

But unlike others, Alexandria was least interested in it.

A yawn escapes her lips as she lays down her head on her desk, looking outside the window.

It was really tiring yesterday! The training was really hard.

She stare at the dark clouds covering the sky outside and her eyebrows furrow

The weather was quite unexpected today.

It doesn’t rain during this time of the year.

Strange.

Feeling sleepy, she was going to doze off, when someone throws a paper ball at her. Getting her attention.

Irritated, she looks back to see her best friend Jess , sending her a warning. Pointing at something in front.

Confused, she stretches herself to look in front and find the atmosphere in the class a bit different than earlier.

Why was everyone looking so excited?

She hears Mrs Fernandes urge someone to come in and her sleepy eyes, settle on the figure walking in though the door.

And Damn! Her heart thumps!

A boy enters, with the most beautiful face she has ever seen. His each and every features set in stone and his physique , no way of a 18 year old.

He looked huge, was he 6’2 or what?

“Welcome Mr Silas Arnold Dawson”

Alexandria was held captive by those unique pair of forest green. As they look around at everyone in acknowledgement.

“Oh my gosh! He is so beautiful!”

She hears someone say and she immediately lowers her eyes. Scolding herself.

Stay clear of boys Alexandria. You know our rules.

Scolding herself, she decides to stop gawking at the stranger like other girls. Looking outside the window.

Taking every bit of self control in her to not look at those entrancing green orbs.

“Fuc*! I will totally like to bang the hottie!”

“Look at those muscles girl! Is he just 18? I doubt it!”

It was the girls sitting behind her, talking this time. And she clenched her fists, not knowing why she felt angry at them.

He is just a boy Alexandria. Ignore.

He looks around at everyone ,his face set in coldness. To see everyone too eager to meet him.

When he preferred silence.

His forest green eyes scan the room to stop at a girl, looking outside the window. Her long brown hair, falling down in waves ,and eyes set at the scenery outside. He seemed to be intrigued and couldn’t help stare at her a little longer.

However her beauty didn’t seemed to attract her.

Interesting.

“Silas here had to drop for two years because of some important affairs. But now he is back to complete his studies.”

“I hope you guys will welcome him nicely.”

“Silas. Will you like to introduce yourself?”

He didn’t say anything ,he hated introductions. But just for formality sake he speaks in his usual cold voice.

“Hello everyone.”

Alexandria’s heart thumps again. His voice, closed and deadly. Sending a shiver down her spine. And she holds her skirt in her fists.

Still not looking at him.

Mrs Fernandes looks at him , expecting him to say more. But he doesn’t. Making her nod.

“Ehh fine. Good. If that’s it. You may take a seat Mr Dawson.”

Those green eyes scan over the room to find two empty seats. A very excited girl sat on one, literally drooling. And he cringes. He hated when they throw themselves at him.

Weighing his options, his eyes settle back on that disinterested girl and he smirks. Having made his choice.

Walking towards her, he sees her body stiffening.

And that’s when her grey orbs come in contact with his forest green ones.

And she freezes.

They were beyond beautiful…no Alex! Don’t stare!

Lowering her eyes she breaks the eye contact, feeling his eyes still fixed at her, she tries to hide behind the tall boy sitting in front of her. To no avail.

Alexandria’s heart was thumping against her ribcage as she realised, the stranger was coming her way.

While any other girl would be screaming in excitement. She felt bothered.

Why didn’t he choose the other empty seat?

The class’s most beautiful girl ,Rose. Sat on it?

He just comes and stands beside her seat. And she gets the clue, without looking up. Picking up her bag from the other seat, she makes place for him to sit.

“So class we will first cover the pending sy……..”

He settles beside her and she hears the girls behind her go crazy. Almost screaming in excitement, trying to keep it down.

His misty forest cologne, hits her and she curses. Holding her breath.

Almost everything about the person was so difficult to resist.

What’s happening to her?

She never felt like this with anyone before.

It’s like each and every cell in her body was excited and dancing in anxiousness.

She sees him leans against the seat, placing one leg over the other. Almost in an authoritative pose and she tries not feeling intimidated by him.

They sit in silence, with neither of them speaking anything and the class continues.

Untill, the girls sitting behind. Called him ,giggling.

“Hey Silas. Hi! We are Avery and Rain. I hope we can be friends?”

One of the girl says, offering him her hand. To only have him stare. First at her outstretched hand and then at her eyes.

He doesn’t say anything. Just nods, and turns his back on them.

Ignoring them.

Alexandria felt relieved. Thank god she didn’t tried to introduce herself, or the embarrassment was way too much to handle.

She tries to look in front but his presence.

It was doing something inside her.

“So class where were we. Yes, staring with the next topic”

“We are going to discuss about one of the most talked about prophesies of history.”

“Which was known to wipe half of the population on earth”

A silence stretches in the class. As everyone keenly listens to the much awaited top of the syllabus.

While Alexandria, just sighs , leaning her head on her arms.

Aggh….she is bored of it! It’s the same story, she is tired of listening every time since her childhood.

.

.

.

.

“-It’s still not known, where the death wolf disappeared suddenly. But the war between the humans and werewolves continued for years after it.”

“The werewolves proved victorious ,but the King of werewolves was no where to be found. “

“Some say he died in the regret of treating the way he treated his mate, others say he was striked by lightning that night. And was killed with her.”

“What’s the truth is still unknown. No one saw them after that day….. it’s been roughly 18 years since then.”

“Any questions?”

One of the boys, raises his hand. And Mrs Fernandes nods.

“You said the werewolves won from the hunters that night Mrs Fernandes. Then who ruled them after it? “

“There were numerous wars after it. To claim the title of the werewolf King and everything was in chaos for years. Untill a boy of mere 12 years, with extraordinary will and power rose to power “

Gasps are heard as no one believes it. While Alexandria stares at the teacher in boredom.

“Is he….is he the werewolf King now?”

One of the boys ask. And Mrs Fernandes nods.

“Indeed he is. Some believe that he has royal b***d in his veins, which was last known to be exist in 1800’s”

“He is called the Royal Prince of werewolves now.”

While majority were serious. Few girls were snickering. Their next question making Mrs Fernandes furious.

“Is the Royal Prince hot Mrs Fernandes?”

“Does he look like him?”

Alexandria’s looks at the girls,to see them referring to Silas, who sat beside her.

“Shut up girls! Stop asking such stupid questions!”

Alexandria’s stare stays a little longer on the mysterious boy sitting beside her, taking hidden glance at him. He was emotionless and cold. Eyes transfixed in front, lips set in a thin line and fists clenched on the table.

What a strange person….but damn attractive.

Those eyes ..they were almost hypnotic.

“Coming onto the next part. Does anyone of you know what happened to the death wolf? Was the Prophesy true then or just a false claim? When the Prophesy said death wolf will kill millions why didn’t it?”

“It’s fake!”

“It’s a lie!”

“Just a storytale.”

“There is no death wolf!”

The students start speaking out of line ,till Mrs Fernandes silents them.

Her eyes look for a volunteer. To stop at Alexandria,who was leaning against her desk.

“Alexandria. Will you like to answer?”

Alex was oblivious. Trying to understand why she felt so strange in this man’s presence. When the girl behind her kicks her leg from below her chair.

“Mrs Fernandes is asking you Alex!”

Alexandria g****s and that’s when Mrs Fernandes, voice echoes loudly.

“Alexandria Black! Answer the questions!”

Alex bolts up. Looking around, at everyone staring at her. To only rub her neck in awkwardness.

“What…what’s the question Mrs Fernandes?”

The teacher looked furious. While Alex looked around for help. To only find her partner ignoring her, looking in front.

She looks back in front, ready to face the consequences.

“Am I supposed to tell you this? What were you doing!”

” I am sorry Mrs Fernandes. But I was feeling bored. So I slept”

Way to go Alexandria. Truthfulness can be a really dangerous thing.

Mrs Fernandes was beyond furious now.

The class erupts in laughter, to only have a blush rush up her cheeks, damn she just digged her own grave.

“First you come late, then you sleep during such an important topic! Keep standing Alexandria! That’s your punishment!”

“But Mrs Fernandes! What’s the use of studying this?”

“This is all fiction. There are no werewolves! Why are we even studying this stupid history which is all a concocted story?”

Silence stretches in the class. It’s the truth, why did everyone seemed so offended.

“That’s not an excuse! Keep standing! You are not allowed to sit!”

She lowers her head. Feeling embarresed.

Hatred towards her seat mate building.

He didn’t help her…he could have called her…. atleast told her the question.

“Mr Dawson. Would you like to answer it?”

Here comes the mysterious boy.Placing down his foot, with hands in pockets, he casually gets up.

Making her feel intimidated.

Damn! The boy was what? 6 feet 4 or what?

“Unlike some stupid people who call deaths of thousands in history, a lie. I do believe in it.”

Alexandria feels her anger flaring. He was referring to her, this bastar*!

” It was not the right time 18 years ago. The Prophesy just started back then. When the time comes,the death of millions is inevitable.”

“The Prophesy will come true but in due time.”

Mrs Fernandes nods, looking impressed. To keep aside the book and ask him, curious to know more.

“And when is that time Mrs Dawson?”

” It’s now Mrs Fernandes. The death wolf will rise very soon. Or maybe it has already risen but we are not aware.”

Deadly silence follows as everyone stares at him in fear. To only make Alexandria to scoff, breaking the deadly silence.

“Oh come on! Don’t tell me that you believe in this werewolves and mate’s thing? They are utter bullsh**”

She says challenging him, to only have him scoff. It was the first emotion he displayed and oh boy, did he looked pissed .

Moving closer to her ,his cologne again hits her, making her hold her breath.Damn! He smells so good!

Looking into her challenging eyes, he seethes in loathe.

“You shouldn’t use such words for something you aren’t aware of ,little girl.”

Alexandria feels her anger flaring. How dare he talk to her like that.

“Who did you call little girl huh? And I can talk and use any words I fuc*ing can. Understood?”

He clenches his fist at the girls audacity.

They continue to stare at each other.

To make him move closer to her.

She steps back. And he smirks. Loving the fear in her eyes.

Leaning in closer , he whispers in her ears. Making a shiver to run down her spine.

“I hate it when they curse, little girl.”

Her restraints were severed the very second. His closeness, bothering her beyond her limits now. Placing her palms on his chest she screams pushing him back.

“Step the fuc* away from me! Who are you trying to intimidate!”

Their skin comes in contact

To only have him go still.

It’s like he got touched by a live naked wire.Sparks of electricity, hitting his chest.

Making him move back from her.

While she seemed unaffected. Not having felt anything.

“Fuc*!”

He says, looking at her in shock. To only look down at her hands.

Alexandria gulps to only see his eyes darkening.

What…what happened to him suddenly?

Wait!

How…how is it possible.

She could bet she saw those green eyes , turning dark.

He closes his eyes, furrowing his brows. And the bell rings. Ending the period. Her throat runs dry as she sees him moving back, picking up his bag and leaving.

Acting as if her touch burned him.

As if he felt disgusted.

Staring at the man’s broad back, she gulps. Her heart audible in her ears.

Those eyes…how can they change colour?

She wasn’t hallucination? Was she?

What the hell happened here!
