There he was, looking at me with those eyes. That son of a bitch... When I get my hands on him... But... Wait... I can't... Can't... Move! Shit... He's coming... No... No. NO!
I woke up in a cold sweat, frightened by that dream. Better, nightmare. It's always this same shit... This freak is gonna haunt me for the rest of my life as I can see... And the worst is... It's not even morning yet. Now I'll have to find something to do to spend my time since I won't be able to sleep again.
I get up from my bed and get hit by the sudden cold of the evening. My fur bristled and I hugged myself to heat up. Being half-naked doesn't helps at all... Who told me to be choosy with clothing?
I walk over to my wardrobe and take a shirt and pants. Nothing too fancy. Not that I have fancy stuff there! I don't like that. And it's absolutely useless for this place. Imagine someone going to training in a ruffled dress. Hilarious...
After getting dressed, I go out of my room taking care as to not make too much noise. The others must be still sleeping. None of them have to deal with nightmares like the ones I have... Fucking lucky bastards. I walk slowly through the corridors stopping in front of a particular room.
I can hear him sleeping there... He always had a heavy sleep. Even when... I'm glad he had a heavy sleep... He wouldn't stand it... He would NOT stand it... That angers me so much... Everything that was done to me... To him... To us...
I sigh and go back on walking through the corridor, walking over to the porch. I always liked that porch. It's big, high, it has a beautiful view to the forest and to the sunrise. Even if I like the sunset a little more. Over that, I can call Blood from up here. That giant lizard is always loved running around.
I take a deep breath on the humid, heavy air of Alpha. Even if it was a little icy now, that's gonna change soon. It's common on that dimension. Just like a desert, the days are hot and the nights are cold. Not extremely cold, except for the winter, that one really is extreme. I almost died of hypothermia on one of those...
Looking at the sky I can see it's almost dawn. Since I woke up sooner, what about I act as an alarm clock for a few others? Soon it's time to wake up anyways. So there I go! I jump off the porch and change. Feral forms are always welcome on these times.
My bones creak and rearrange on my body during my fall. My front paws hit the ground followed by the back paws. It didn't hurt at all. They act like shock absorbers and I start running through the forest, my instincts guiding me through the trees. This path is very well known. I feel others running with me a little far on the distance. They're not threats, quite the opposite. They are mateys.
I ran fast through the forest standing in front of the group. Soon we got to our destiny. They stay on the bushes waiting as I climbed the slope that would get me to the top of that place. Getting there I saw them, eyes that watched me intently from the shadows. And my home. My homeland. The dim light of dawn made it beautiful. It filled me with... Something...
ALPHA! I'LL SING ONLY FOR THEE ONLY I'LL SING! HEAR MY SONG!
And I sang. That's how we call the howls in here. It's our song. A simply complicated way to express all we feel. After my start, the others joined in. A beautiful choir that spread up for miles away. Our song woke the ones that slept. It was possible to feel them. At least I felt them.
Soon my song came to an end. The other stopping shortly after. My chest burning with the strong beating of my heart. That's it... That's how I like to feel. Feeling the sun touch my back I let the transformation fall apart. I go back to being just myself and sit down on the rock to watch my homeland. The others started going back home slowly, except for one.
I watch as the dark grey wolf gets closer and sits by my side watching in silence. That was Donnovan, the guy that made me work hard on training every single day. One of the only ones who I trust these times... A good friend... I look at him and smile briefly.
—Nice singing today Z... As always. —He said, a smile on his face.
—Oh, stop it... It was just what I always do... It's not a big deal... —He shook his head.
—It was perfect... Nothing more than that... —He said touching my arm. —That's why I don't regret giving you that post. —I looked away. I don't like when people see me blush. He took his hand away from my shoulder. —Well... I'll have to go now... See you at the camp.
—See you! —I say waving as he stood up and went away, running through the forest. Now I'm all alone...
I sigh and lay down on the rock heated by the sun. Closing my eyes, I pay attention to the sounds surrounding me. It's kinda hard to imagine myself away from there. This is my home... My... Home...
There she was... Looking at me that same way as usual... She had that two kids on her arms... Two beautiful kids. She smiled at me and walked in my direction. While walking, she faded. I went towards her and getting there I could only take the two kids before she completely disappeared. My arms were soaked in... In... BLOOD!
I woke up normally. My mind still agitated with the nightmare or... Memory... She had chosen me to be who would remember her like that... Who would never... EVER! Forget her. My sisters have no idea. I hope they never do... They wouldn't support it like I do... But well... It was already time to get up anyways...
I get up and go straight to the bathroom to wash myself. I took some clothes to my height and went there. The water hits my body, hot and relaxing, washing away whatever was on my body. I let out a deep sigh while washing my face.
After the bath, I clothe myself and get out of my room. There were a few people walking through the corridor. Servants, guards... And him... That son of a bitch my sister calls her pet... He walks by me and smiles mockingly. Insolent... Idiot... I just wanna kill that...
—Nightmare!
Uh?
—Glad you're up! —Said the white bear smiling at me. —Come get your breakfast dear! I just set the table!
—Ah... Okay. I'm going Stella. —I said and went towards her, looking around one last time. He's already gone... Good for him.
Getting to the dinning room I see my family. On the edge of the table was my father, The King of all the Omega dimension. He looked tough but deep inside he was as gentle as a lamb. On the other edge was Stella, his wife and my stepmother. She was always the most gentle of all, unlike her daughter that for my for my displeasure didn't suffer a sudden death tonight... She was sitting in front of my chair, in the middle of the table.
I sigh and sit down on my chair. Various claw marks carved it. That was me throughout the time, too much nervousness. Other than that, scratching wood is great for sharpening claws. I start scratching as soon as I sit down. My "sister" rolls her eyes at me. That bi-
—Gabe! Stop scratching the chair you moron! —I told her to not call me that. —Daddy spent a lot of money on them cutie. —I look at her leaning my arms on the table.
—Number one: I told you to stop calling me Gabe. I don't want my name on your- —I'm interrupted by my father's throat cleaning along with a stern look. I simply snort. —Taunt rule... I know... I was not gonna say it. But she knows... And second: You don't order me Nayara... —I said projecting myself a little forward. Her name went out with a poison she really hated.
—Nasty... —She said with a hate that only made me smile.
—Good morning, bitch~ —I whispered.
—OH YOU! —She shouted but her mother's got her. My father hits the table that trembles a little.
—Gabriel Galacc! You better start having table manners before I have to punish you! —He said Throwing that aura at me. It choked me a little, but I got used to it. Mine was just at a similar level.
—Heh... Okay... It's funnier without restrictions anyways... And I'm hungry... —I said not giving a fuck about that. My father knew I was being serious. He knew she was challenging me. He wouldn't stop me for that.
I looked at Nayara and she was absolutely PISSED about me. That's so pleasant for me... I was going to taunt her a little more later, she just had to wait... Nothing she did kept away from my knowledge for too long. And I made sure to expose it all. Piss her off was my favorite thing to do.
After that little friction, the breakfast began for real. It was delicious as always. The conversations went out as if nothing had ever happened even with the heavy air we ended up leaving there. I kept quiet as always. If they asked me anything I just shook my head and spoke the less possible. I don't like to speak when I'm eating.
As soon as I finish eating, I thank them for the breakfast, excuse myself and go out of the table. I hear Nayara mumble something and Stella shout her name. I contain a smile and kept walking through the corridors, going to the place I always go after breakfast. I brought a piece of cake Stella made.
I walked fast. I turned a corner and stopped. Better saying, I froze. He was there. Frightening one of my pets. He was holding her arms stuck on the wall and growled. I could hear what he was saying and it was so... Ugh... I leave the cake somewhere safe and go there. He didn't even see me but her relieved look gave me away.
—Oh! —He says too scandalous to my liking. —Look who came to play hero...
—Get out... Before I tore you in half... —I said, taking every single word seriously. He just smiled.
—Okay... But you won't be there forever... And when you're not... I'll do whatever i want... —He said looking at her who was way too scared to do anything. I growled and he just released her and went away.
—Sleep on my father's lodging today. Mine is not safe tonight. Say it's Silver again... I talked to them before... Tell your friends too... —She nodded and went back to the lodging where the pets stay.
Everyone was meant to have their own lodging... But Nayara just wants to fuck me and my life up and please that idiot Silver is. Since he came in, she started a never-ending renovation on her lodging. That's just because mine has more women. They already came out of a tough situation... And now there's him... That's why I started bringing some more men... Chosen handpicked. One of them is the one I was going to gift with the cake he loves the most.
He was already at the door and when he saw me he smiled and waved. That was Kyle, my best pet and friend. I smile and he approached. He is not very talkative but always know what I'm thinking. It must be something from his species. I did read something about him. Or something that seems like him. We always go to the the castle's terrace. That's our secret spot to talk about stuff. He just speaks up there.
I would never let anything happen to him... Not on purpose. And if anything happened... I would be absolutely destroyed... He's my only true friend.
TO BE CONTINUED...
