Sophia

A week later my life is more boring than before, Sherman Blackstone had come over to the house explaining to both me and dad that I am in fact going through the change. He had read in one of the clan books that was dated back to the Civil War era that there were two people in the clan that were the same as me... half-breeds. One male and one female, they were twins and both survived their flip, I didn't know how to process that information at first, but then I decided not to think about it too much. They had made it through the flip, this gave us hope that I too would live. Even knowing that full blooded skin walkers sometimes don't make it I still had hope for myself, I am determined to live even if I can't ever leave Wolf Lake. My father had smiled at what we were told and said, 'You're a Donner kid and not one Donner has perished from their transformation'. That was all I needed to hear, Sherman had given me many books to read about the clan with the help of dad giving me crash courses.

I learned a lot from both sources and was grateful for all the information I received, but now I'm stuck at home and not allowed to leave home. Seriously my dad is taking this too far, he doesn't want me to flip by having sex with one of the sex crazed hormone stricken Hill kid males, but what would stop me once I change? Of course I haven't planned on being with anyone from the Hill, but as usual dad is being TOO over protective. "Wouldn't do me any good either way, no one wants to be with a freak of nature like me." I mutter to myself. Sighing I get up from the couch and close the last clan book I'm reading. I've finished all of my school work for the week and now all I have to do around here is clean up because I am so damn bored. I haven't spoken to Sarah, Kit or my very human boyfriend Scott Nichols. Apparently my father called them all and told them that I've been really sick except Sarah, she knows the truth and it pisses me off that he won't let me hang out with her either. "Dad never said a damn thing about taking a walk in the woods."

After changing into some cut off jean shorts, a light purple tank top and my hiking boots I set off into the woods behind my house. I have always been one to roam into the woods, but never strayed too far from home because my dad is so paranoid. Today is different though, I can feel something calling me deeper into the thick foliage, something that's like a magnet pulling me in farther and farther. Once I reach a clear area in the woods with a few fallen down trees making some what of a squared off area. I sit down on the soft grassy patch of grass and lean back against one of the logs, I exhale and close my eyes taking in all the sounds around me. After ten minutes of relaxing I stand up, a growl sounds off behind me and I freeze.

Turning around I look at the gray and black colored wolf growling at me, I feel my hairs standing up on the back of my neck. My heart beat picks up and my breathing is erratic, knowing full well that this is someone from the pack doesn't help. From what I've learned, when our people are in wolf form the beast is in control mostly. They can communicate on a mental link that has their human voices float within their mind, but I'm not far into my change to hear them yet. I don't know who this wolf is and this is honestly my very first encounter with one, most of the pack dislikes me which makes me feel unwelcome here. However, I do know the wolf can understand me if I speak to it, "I'm leaving." The wolf in some way shakes its head and now I worry that I'm in trouble. "Please, just let me go and I won't come back." My voice is firm, but I am shaking. A bright light shines, i have to squint my eyes from the light, I go on and close them. "You can open your eyes now." My eyes snap open and I am face to face with none other than the bad boy of Wolf Lake himself. Luke Cates.

Luke

"Can my day get any worse?" Sophia asks looking down, her eyes land on my cock, her once scared eyes grow huge and she snaps her head back up making the me laugh. "Didn't you know we take our clothes off to be in our otherness?" I ask through a laugh. Blushing Sophia turns away, the little embarrassed virgin whispers, "Sorry." I smirk at her back, "Don't be, I'm not." Sophia starts walking away making my eyes roll. "Why haven't you been in school?" She stops and walks back towards me keeping her eyes on mine. "How did you know that I wasn't in school?" She asks while placing her hands on her hips. I raise an eyebrow at her question, is she serious right now? "I didn't see you with your friends and your scent wasn't blasting in the air for all of us to smell." Sophia bites her bottom lip and I zero in on the contact that her teeth make with her soft skin there.

"Besides my scent or whatever, how would you have known if I was with my friends or not? I hardly ever see you around school, so why would you have seen me?" Sophia asks stepping closer to see if she can read me, that's cute. She's really trying to figure her otherness out, however I'm an expert on hiding myself from everyone. Nice try though half-breed. "Just because you don't see me Sophia doesn't mean I haven't seen you." Sophia doesn't know what to say, she opens and closes her mouth, she shrugs her shoulders finally and sighs, "My dad doesn't want me in school until I flip." She toes the ground with her boot not looking at me, I shake my head knowing that she's feeling disconnected from everything in her daily life, "That could take a month or two maybe even longer given your half-breed status." Sophia nods, "He knows that, but he wants me away from all the thirsty teen males, his words not mine" Sighing Sophia rubs her temple and laughs, "What he doesn't realize is that there are no thirsty males looking in my direction to quench said thirst."

Hmm, guess I can tell her what I heard, I can't wait to see her reaction. "Randy is still interested in you and more than willing to help." Sophia smirks back making my wolf stir, what the hell? "Yeah well I don't trust your words on that. I mean no offense, but I don't know any of you and somehow I feel like it would just be some kind of set up to make fun of me." I get it, we've never exactly be kind to the poor Donner girl. "On the other hand I don't think my boyfriend would be too happy about me hooking up with someone who isn't him." Sophia says through a giggle. Something in me bubbles, for some reason the idea of Sophia being with an ungulate male doesn't sit well with me. Obviously its just the fact that I believe that people like us should be with our kind, its nothing to do with Sophia, then again I am talking to a Donner here. Sophia may be a half-breed, but she's still going to flip and be one of us so it makes sense that she should be with a member of the clan. Not following in her dad's foot steps, look at what its done for her. Granted we're the ones who've made her life miserable, but now she's going to be one of us."Who?" I ask flatly.

Sophia shakes her head frowning at me. "Who what?" I'm stunned, somehow this girl has been able to not check me out, but now I see that its because she's taken by a lowly human. If she were any other girl she would've sized me up for sure. I know it's strange for her not to be ogling me considering who I am, I mean when you're used to it, you know you've got what all the females want. "What ungulate are you dating?"

"He's a human and his name is Scott Nichols." Sophia spits out making the wolf in me stir. I'm liking this feisty side of the zoobait, but I'm also grossed out with her choice of male. "Nichols?" I chuckle, "Damn, you freaks stick together I guess. Though Sophia I believe that you could do a hell of a lot better than fucking Scott Nichols." Sophia is pissed, i can feel it coming off of her. "Oh, someone like your whoring friend Randy?" She's so fucking difficult, I rolls my eyes again, "Well I think my whoring friend Randy is a better choice, Sophia we're superior to humans." She licks her lips and raises a eyebrow, "I guess I'm just too much of a Donner to see that I guess. Besides I want the real deal, not some quick fuck in the woods at a lake party." She turns around and begins walking away, but stops. Turning back around she says,"I really don't see why you care, I mean you say the clan takes care of their own. Well none of you looked at me like I was apart of the clan before I started the change, so why start now? You're Randy's Alpha Luke, you shouldn't even want me near him because I am filth to you. Why subject your friend to a lowly person like me?" I watch her backside as she retreats from me, I can't help but to admire her in some ways. I don't care too much that she can be bitchy with me for some reason, I actually like it. It does bother me that she has some ungulate jerk off as her boyfriend.

I can't explain what I feel when I'm around her, sure she's a wolf going through the change and my wolf instincts are saying sex, sex, sex. But for some other reason I feel as if I'm being pulled to Sophia. Just like today, I was in my room about to go see Presley when I felt the need to be in the woods in wolf form. Then when I arrived at my running spot, I felt like I was being pulled into a deeper part of the woods and in the back of my mind I knew that Sophia's house was in the direction I was going. At first when I saw her my wolf wanted to pounce on her, but the 'human' part of me wanted to scare her to see what she would do. Then when she spoke, I knew I couldn't bring myself to pretend harm her. Still I feel weird being around someone I've always looked down on and made fun of, so why now would I feel somewhat good being near her when she's hell bent on staying away? I need to stay away from her. She's nothing to me, just some freak of nature about to flip, my wolf may say sex, but my head the logical side of me says get away. She's in no way good enough for me to bed her even if she is a female.
