Wolf or Human
Very first Wolves of Mercy Falls series. I just finished reading the first book. And I loved it.
(Sam's POV)
I have two lives. One is a wolf who wonders around the woods endlessly forgetting all of his human instincts. The other is a human boy in a relationship with a wolf loving little blondie that I absolutely love. But which one am I? I can't be both. Which one does Grace like? I sighed. Even with the heater turned up to max, I still felt cold, empty, confused. 7 years and I still can't figure out who I am. Am I wolf or human? Do I get to choose or does it choose for me? The door opened with a creak and Grace stepped in, a steaming mug in her hands. I pulled the blanket closer around me and tried not to shiver. Afraid to change. Grace sat next to me on the me on the bed and handed me the mug. Tea. Just what a good consideration needs. I take it gratefully.
"Thanks," I say, taking a sip. Not bad.
"A penny for your thoughts?" Grace asked while watching me.
"Oh okay," I set the mug down, "have you ever had trouble making a decision?"
"You mean trying to select what to wear so you won't become a wolf again?"
I chuckle, "That is kinda troubling when you're clothing deprived."
She giggles. I love making my girlfriend laugh.
I continue, "But no that's not it."
"Then what is it, Sam?"
"It's...who am I?"
"You're. Samual Roth. Hot 18 year old werewolf dating Grace Brisbaine-"
"No not my identity."
"Then how could who you are be troubling you?"
I bite my lip. "I just want to hurry up and decide. You know?"
"No I don't know."
"I don't want to keep switching back and forth to human and wolf, and switching who I am over and over. I just want to be...one not two."
"Sam..."
"I don't want to have two lives and keep deciding which one is better. Am I wolf or am I human? I-"
Grace holds my hand, linking our fingers together. I look at her, her lovely eyes looking into mine.
She says, "You don't need to choose."
"What?"
"No one has to decide who they have to be. They can be happy just being themselves. And so should you."
"Grace..."
She kisses my cheek, "Sam, I love you. You're yourself. You're not a wolf or human-well logically yes you are-you're just Sam Roth. You could turn into wolf or human, but I know you're still just Sam."
I finally collected what she meant and smiled. How was I so stupid? Grace leaned her head against my shoulder and I smiled, pecking her forehead. Who said I needed to choose? I already did.
Well how was it? Thumbs up or down? Leave in reviews please.
