Capítulo 2: ONE
SKYLAR
I breathe. But that was a mistake as the smoke makes its way down into my lungs causing me to choke. I fan the smoke out of my way to see my friend Katie lying unconscious on the steering wheel. I didn't hesitate to push the chair my back in order to let my healing abilities to heal all my injuries, but I hesitated on my friend Katie.
I could see blood coming out of her head and there could be glasses inside her brain. If I leave this place to call help or call in the ambulance she wouldn't make it. She was already loosing so much blood. Should I really leave it to the doctor to heal those wounds? As much as I wanted to believe the doctors could bring my best friend back to full health. In my heart, I already knew the answer.
Her heartbeat suddenly stops. I cursed under my breath for not taking any actions earlier and I took her wrist up to my mouth. I pierced my fangs into her wrist and gave her one big werewolf bite. When I let go of her I prayed to the moon goddess to heal my friend even though, I may have just broken one big taboo of turning a human into our kind.
I held Katie's hand and waited for any kind of supernatural healing to kick in. I watched her and tears sprung down my eyes when I saw nothing was happening to her. She was still breathless and her heart was still not beating. I punch my hand to the seat. I felt anguish. If I hadn't hesitated she could've come back to the world of the living.
I've killed her.
I sniffed away my tears and dialed 911. "Hello, please there's been an accident on Oak street 94 just near the Seikan University. Please come as soon as you can."
I held Katie by the hand. I was still waiting for any signs of response in her body even a twitched on her finger could bare hope. My make up was probably even ruined with my tears. I took off the seat belt and went out of the car. I went over to Katie's side and ripped out the car door. I got on my knees and took off her seat belt. I brought her body close to my chest and carried her out of her car. I placed her down onto the grassy plains of the forest and cupped her cheeks with my hand. "I'm sorry." I apologized, but those words aren't enough.
I started to lay butterfly kisses on her cheeks and on her forehead hoping she could still come back. I held her close to my chest, and waves of my emotion poured out of me. I screamed. "Katie.. come back! Please... come back." I sobbed. "Please.. don't leave me here. Don't leave me..." I whisper as I cradled her in my arms.
"Ugh!"
I opened my eyes to look at Katie. Those glass shards were coming off of her head. I could hear bones cracking and moving back to its original place. I gave in a sighed of relief as I pulled her tightly into an embrace.
"Skylar," she groaned. "S-stop! You're going to squeeze me to death."
I pulled us away and laughed at her ability to sarcasm. Tears of joy ran down my eyes they no longer tasted salty. "You're ok. You're safe." I ensured pulling a strain of her chocolate brown hair from her front to the side of her earlobe.
"Of course I'm fine, but everything just feels dizzy." She plopped down into my arms before she could finish her sentence. "God, I feel nauseous," she complained.
The sound of the wailing siren came to our aid. The nurses pulled out a stretcher. I carried my friend to the stretcher when some of the nurses turn to look at my skinny frame. It was not a shocking thing to do for the werewolf clan to have superhuman abilities but it was a great deal to humans. From what I heard they had to go gyms and lift up some weight in order to gain this kind of strength, but for us, it came naturally. Even a baby wolf could lift up a wooden chair on their own.
I hopped into the ambulance while my friend fell asleep due to the effect of my bite. I held my friend's hand for comfort and thought about her confession to me the day before yesterday and seeing how frantic I was when I nearly lost her my mind already made up for an answer until a certain smell broke my concentration.
I looked up and I stared into a woman blue eyes with dark-cloaked all over her and skull-like dog floating in the air with her. Her blue eyes stared at mine for a long time before I felt blood boiling inside me and my wolf howled in excitement telling me that I had found my mate. The woman disappeared soon with a smirk on her face. I searched for the feelings inside my chest again but my wolf whimpered when we lost sight of the woman.
My mind went back to Katie when I felt her squeeze my hand. She looked up at me with her emerald eyes. "Is the dog, ok?"
"I think it's a little bit too late to answer that, Katie?"
"Does it mean- oh god no!"
I shook my head. "The dog is fine and so are you." She smiles thankfully. Even when she is injured she still cares for the dog that nearly caused her death. She is by far too kind, but I don't know how well I can keep her alive when they find out that I had broken a taboo to turn a human into our kind. Its been forbidden yet tonight I broke it.
I kissed her hand and I hoped all of this will be alright. If this gets out my pack and my territory that was left by my father will be taken by other wolves especially rogue ones. This needs to keep a secret, and I had to tell Katie everything. She blushed when she stared at me.

I called my brother Eric and he came to the hospital immediately. When I told him everything he remained calm when I could actually smell fear coming off of me. He was scared what I have done could lose our authority to the pack and our territory. I was already weakest among the siblings yet our father had selected me to become Alpha of the Gemini Silver Pack. I didn't understand his intention. I still question him at times but he said in time I will understand everything. But I am not a patient wolf.
I can't sit around when another pack was bullying us. When our father was the Alpha he could bring fear into the hearts of the wolf to those who make fun of us but now since he stepped down. We became belittled and I didn't have powers like our father.
I just ruined our pack our reputation and yet siblings kept encouraging me to be strong and persevere to be the Alpha. It was because of my siblings that I was able to maintain our pack and our domain, but since I broke the forbidden rule. The supernatural court isn't going to lightly punish me, and it wasn't just me but the pack.
Eric sighed. He scratched his messy brown hair in frustration. "Skylar, I know you've done this out of the goodness of your heart, but do you know what you've just done." He sounded pissed, but he has every right to be. He sighed. "If the court hears about this. We could lose our territory, and we could be branded as rogue werewolves. You know how important to a werewolf to have our own domain."
"I know Eric. I am so sorry."
"Does she know?" he asked. "About us?"
I shook my head. "When she wakes up I'll tell her everything."
He nods. "You're planning to stay here aren't you?" I nod. "Alright, I'll tell our siblings and our parents that you are staying over at a friend's house in order to finish a project. No one can know about this until we know what to do with this ordeal." I gave in a disappointed nod. He pats on the head. "I'll handle this problem go and take care of your friend."
"One more thing Eric," I looked up at his gold eyes. They really resemble my eyes big and round but with sharp and manly features. "I found my mate," I confessed.
He smiles. "So who is this the lucky guy?"
"It's not a boy, and she smells like death."
His facial expression turns sour. "Your mate is a reaper."
I didn't understand my brother's expression, but I stayed with my friend the whole night at her place. The doctor said it was a miracle and was discharged, but only me and my brother know that it was my bite that had saved her.
I plan to tell my friend everything when daylight came. For tonight she has gone through too much. She slept sound fully feeling tired and I couldn't sleep knowing the consequences that I just brought upon myself and my whole pack. Drenched in this misguided thought something crawled up to my chin forcing me to look up as I felt something touched my lips. When I realized what was going on it was the woman again. She just took the liberty to touch my lips with hers and instead of feeling shocked a wave pleasure hits me. My wolf started howled crazily at her touch.
I moaned unexpectedly when her tongue started playing with my tongue. I felt weak. Why was she so good at kissing. I suddenly felt so needy. She pulled away and the woman smiles down at me. She was downright hot like she was some sort of badass angel that fell from heaven. When she spoke she had broken my trance in her.
"We meet again, mate."
I blushed.
