Episode 3

HECTOR JOSE ANTUNEZ

From a very young age, my destiny has been marked by the bloodline, it is my turn to be the next Alpha, I was always the strongest, the best in everything, the first to have my metamorphosis, my younger brother consumed by envy, when I had my change, he attacked me, left me mortally wounded and abandoned, hoping that I would die and only he would be the one to take the position. To make sure of that, he left me near humans, as they live in a small community, they are fearful by nature and destroy any species they consider a threat to them, and a wolf is something they look upon with bad eyes. He never imagined that a young woman with a pure soul felt sorry for a wounded wolf, she took care of all the animals, took me to her house, healed my wounds, slept by my side worried for me to get better, treated me with immense tenderness, her father did not agree very much, but he agreed to her imploration to have me until I improved and on the condition of setting me free when my wounds healed, he accepted.

Memory

She spoke to me as if she were talking to an equal

"I am Alexandra"

"I have always liked animals since I was little, if I find a wounded bird, I heal it, my house looks like a zoo, because I have all kinds of animals, such as cats, dogs, parrot, hen, ducks, pig and a sheep, being an only daughter, my father indulges me, but don't tell him I know that." She whispered to me

"Unfortunately, my mother passed away from an illness that she had been carrying for years, but finding you gives me comfort," she told me sadly.

"Daughter that's not a dog. Her father said when he saw her carrying me in her arms wrapped in a coat, at that time I was the size of a medium-sized dog."

"Anyway I'm going to heal it." She said determined.

Her father sighed shaking his head and just kept silent, he knew that no matter what he said to her, he would not convince her otherwise.

For a week she dedicated herself to healing me, she made me a bed in a sector of her father's warehouse and watched over my recovery, for my part I was very bad, weak.

"I know that even if I tell you, you will not listen to me, but that animal is more on the other side than this one. I heard her father comment, suggesting that I was going to die despite all the effort she put in for me to recover."

As it was cool at night she would take me inside the house near the fireplace, and she would hold me in her arms talking to encourage me, her warmth comforted me.

"Don't listen to my father, listen to me, you're going to recover. She whispers in my ear."

Shortly after, away from her father's expectations, I recovered, I was surprised that she gave me a bath, I felt a tickle when I felt her brush me and dry me with a towel, before her it was revealed that I was of a beautiful dark color with a white spot on my neck in the shape of a star, my fur was soft to the touch, she had huge eyes that looked at me with tenderness, I couldn't contain myself and I licked her face making her smile.

I got used to sleeping in her lap, she gave me small pieces of cooked meat that she put on a plate and she accompanied me to make sure I ate well to regain strength.

She held me in her arms, moved me in a small cart that she dragged with her bicycle, gave me water with a small spoon, hugged me and sang encouraging me.

I'm not going to deny that I became fond of her, but one morning I chose to leave.

"I told you it was a wild animal, at least you healed it. Her father said as consolation."

END OF THE MEMORY

With her care and affection I improved, my wounds healed. I will not deny that at first I felt discouraged, that they would not heal immediately, because my brother used a substance in the weapon that caused me the wounds, so that I could not heal immediately, which left me defenseless and that way not being able to defend myself if the humans attacked me.

The time I was under the care of that young woman, my system was taking more strength, the energy of being a strong and unique species began to form. I was a young werewolf, who was in his stage of development, where it would be noticed who deserved to be the one to guide the pack and it would not be the exception.

Being stronger, and managing my transformation, I maintained my wolf form during the time I shared in that home, it was not a problem, her house was on the outskirts, so my presence was not noticed by other humans.

My wolf became fond of the young woman, he did not want to leave her, but I had a mission, I had to return and reclaim my place. So I returned to my community, challenged my brother who had self-proclaimed himself Alpha to a fight, believing that he had destroyed me, I defeated him without much effort, the only thing he had was arrogance and not leadership. Thanks to my performance I guided my community, making it prosperous and safe. My family was proud.

I became a powerful leader, implacable with enemies, cold, determined, who does not hesitate when it comes to putting an end to the existence of those who want to torment the peace in our community.

One night I went to a friend's house to spend a few days, he chose to live among humans, he is a doctor, and my visit was mainly to reach an agreement with the representatives of the humans, there was a group that was after us with the clear intention of destroying us. In one of those attacks they hurt my mother, they almost ended her life, my father wanted the destruction of the humans.

But according to my friend not all of them were like that and according to their leader they wanted to maintain peace, ordinary people were not aware of our existence, for them we were just a myth, an urban legend that they used to make children behave, by ensuring that we represent a threat. They assured that they would take care of those responsible, my father wanted them to be brought before him.

My friend took me to a restaurant with his younger brother, in that place my wolf became restless, he felt the scent of that young woman who took care of me a long time ago, she was more grown up, her soul was still pure, I could not keep paying attention to the conversation with my acquaintances, my wolf only wanted to be close to her.

Noticing that she would fall, I couldn't help but catch her, feeling her figure in my arms, an energy ran through me that I had never felt before, I had to have control of my wolf, so I kept a serious expression.

Looking at her I could see that she was suffering, I realized that apparently there was one who was her partner and he was cheating on her.

Just by looking into her eyes in a blink I knew her whole life, she was still taking care of animals, she studied to be a veterinarian, she worked with her motorcycle to take people where they needed her or packages that they requested, even to do paperwork, she strived to pay her expenses and be able to live independently.

I witnessed the argument she had with who was supposedly her partner and the girl who was with him. Seeing that she was going to the bathroom I wanted to follow her, but my friend Dante stopped me.

"We must not get involved" he told me seriously reminding me that we should not interfere in the lives of humans, only observe them, learn from their customs and based on that judge if they deserve to continue living.

I stayed upset thinking about everything, my wolf only wanted to protect her, he only wanted to be with her.

After a while I see her rushing out heading to the exit and is intercepted by that guy and the young woman for whom he changed her, I wanted to break his neck to see that he pushed her, my friend stopped me from the arm anticipating my movement of wanting to go towards them, I should not make myself noticeable, I had to go unnoticed, but I could not tolerate that they mistreat her.

She ran out of the place, was going to cross without looking, I broke free from my friend and ran, I held her in time before a car ran over her.

I took her to have a coffee and calm down, but again she witnessed how her partner left the restaurant that was next door with that other young woman and exchanged saliva while they left in a taxi.

I offered to take her home, she luckily accepted, she looked sad.

I took her to her father's house, seeing that residence again brought back memories. Her father, as thanks, invited me to Alexandra's birthday party which I accepted to attend, any opportunity to see her again was a priority for me.

I returned with my friends, we had a couple of drinks.

"Since you are here, let's dance. Dante invites me."

"I am not capable of attending those rituals. I confessed seriously."

"Relax a little godfather, you want to know the customs here, what better is to see how they have fun. Sam tells me, who is Dante's younger brother, and my godson at the same time."

"And you don't have to dance if you don't want to, it's not an obligation. Dante tells me."

I sighed annoyed, the idea did not attract me, in our community I never attended those dances, because for us it is like a ritual to get a partner.

My friend looked at me fixed.

"They don't have the same customs as us, here they just dance, share a drink, and that doesn't mean they have to maintain a relationship, unless they want to. He commented to me."

"Alright. But only for a moment, I told them."

"First you must change your attire. Sam points out to me."

"What's wrong with it? I ask him looking at my clothes, I always dress like this, not even for meetings I bothered to wear a suit."

"It is customary to dress well, give a good impression. Sam told me."

"I don't understand, for what or what? I ask him doubting to go, I never had to impress anyone, on the contrary everyone strives to impress and be good with me."

I sigh frustrated, if it were others I would put them in their place with a single gesture, but it is about my friends who are more than family, always supporting me in the most difficult moments, they were the ones who helped me stop my father and be more rational when some humans tried to end my mother's life, he wanted to destroy humanity, swearing to end everyone, but with their support we managed to prevent him from going to that extreme.

They took me to their residence, they provided me with a black shirt and black pants with a pair of shoes that look like sneakers, they know that I like to dress in a relaxed way, but they insist that I dress like this.

"Who would say, I never thought they would be so delicate and superficial in looking at the appearance. I told them seeing how they got me ready."

"You have to give a good impression, it is important to smell good, give a clean image, so that they accept you as part of their group, here those who are dirty, badly dressed are despised and placed in the lowest part of society, also being professionals is the rule to be like that. My friend Dante tells me, they dressed similarly."

(DANTE CORGONO)

(SAM CORGONO)

"In that case give me one of those liquids that you use to smell good, you have a collection. I pointed out to him."

"Have this one is for men like you, it is durable its woody aroma, ceibo with touches of forest aroma. He describes me."

"Hides the wolf smell. Sam tells me."

"What's wrong with my scent?"

"NOTHING. He says nervously shaking his hands."

We left in their car, we arrived at an establishment, there was a long line of people at the entrance.

"We are not going to wait. Dante clarified to me hearing how I snorted annoyed, I did not like the idea of waiting."

Upon entering the music was deafening, as we walked to a sector that my friend pointed out to us to sit down to have something, my wolf became alert when he felt Alexandra's scent, so I began to look for her with my eyes.
