Twenty Three


KATHY

As I sat back at the dining room munching on my surprisingly nice meal, I heard voices from a distance as It felt as though they were headed to the dining room.

And a couple of minutes afterward, Beta Henry and a few others walked into the dining room as they all laughed and giggled on entering.

“Who do we have here?” Beta Henry said, smiling as he walked towards me.

And then sat right next to me by the table.

In no time, Alpha Damon walked in.

I couldn't understand why they all ate on one table, but it sort of felt weird and strange to me watching the alpha eat with members of his pack.

“More please” I called on the Omega serving us, to give me a chunk of the steak in the bowl on the table.

Surprisingly, I still felt so hungry even though I had just finished eating my plate of steak. 

I slowly wondered how strange I suddenly felt munching on the meal in front of me and also wondered why it felt so good down my throat.

I turned facing the Omega standing next to us by the table.    

There was this look on her face like she didn't want me to eat the steak.

"Is there a problem?" I asked, smiling at her, as the other members by the table stayed silent the minute I asked.

" No" she responded with her face to the ground.   

Taking another bite of the steak, I could get this funny smell coming from the steak.

But I ignored all that odor, because my werewolf senses were urging me to eat more of what was on my plate.

I finally took the piece of steak and had more bites. I quickly spilled the piece I had in my mouth back on the floor the minute I realized what I had been feeding on.

“Raw Meat!!” I screamed.

“Not even grilled or cooked,” I yelled, holding up my head in my hand.

“Gross!!” I added as my whole body system felt disgusted all at once fully aware of what it was.

I was so furious, my claws were already bulging out as I felt out of control.

“Why on earth would you give me raw meat?” I asked. 

“And why did it feel so good at first, until the very minute I realized what it was!!” I added aggressively.

The Omega stood silently by the table, as she had a confused look probably wondering why I looked so tense.

“I am sorry, I wanted to say something but I didn't know how to say it to you" 

“That's the major reason I kept looking,” she said.

Everyone on the dining table was already laughing as they actually turned me into a laughingstock. 

I was kinda embarrassed with the way they all laughed and giggled pointing at me. 

“What do you eat?” Beta Henry asked, staring at me.

“Didn't you know we werewolves eat raw meat?” he asked.

“ It actually helps our body and helps heighten our senses,” he added pointing to the bowl of raw meat in front of me.

I heard the other wolves murmur, as they laughed silently to themselves making Alexa so angry. 

"What's funny?" I asked, trying to keep it cool with my wolf Alexa.

"It actually sounds funny hearing you say that,” Beta Henry said. 

“You have a lot to learn girl” he said 

“Well I believe with time you will get used to it,” he added as he had his focus back on his meal.

Apparently, I found his words comforting and relaxing.    

Henry is Damon's left hand who is also in charge of pack coordination and strategy. 

He seems smart and has his way around words. At this point I had already lost my appetite, so I left the dining room to head to my room to try to relax and freshen up. 

On my way up the stairs, I stumbled upon Damon.

I guess he could sense from my mood that I wasn't okay. 

"What's the problem?" he asked with so much concern.

"Raw meat actually tastes better when unidentified," I said aggressively.

"Didn't you know it was raw meat?" He asked.

"I felt it was medium rare, that was why I wanted to eat it and plus the fact that it felt good down by my throat” I responded.

“Oh I see,” he said as he had a smile on his face like he was just about to laugh.

But surprisingly he didn't,

“As werewolves, we eat raw meat or steak which helps to heighten our senses and also keeps our bodies in good condition” he said smiling at me. 

"You should actually try it sometimes, " he added. 

“

Well try to get some rest and relax because the next training will commence soon” he said walking away. 

“It would be more hectic and stressful than the earlier,” he added as he left me by the stairs heading towards the dining room.

I walked into my room, laid on the bed. Thinking about what just happened in the dining room as I wondered why they all found any of that funny. 

As I laid back down on my bed, I heard a soft knock on my door.

“It's open!” I yelled letting whoever it was in.  

“It's me Ma’am,” the Omega who had me served at lunch said, walking into my room.

“I…”

"I'm sorry about earlier ma'am, I thought you probably have had a taste of it before and so I never thought of asking," she said.

"That was why I didn't say anything about it or let you know it was raw meat". 

"I know you must have felt embarrassed, with the way they all laughed at the dining" she said.

"I guess I will have to watch what I eat here from now on," I said.

She felt relieved, I could see it on her face.

And just as we both stayed silent to ourselves, Damon walked in.

“I heard Henry saying something about tonight being a full moon,” he said.

"That only means one thing,” he said, staring out the window. 

“And what's that?” I asked curiously.

“We would transform into wolves completely and we would be in our strength and heightened senses” he said smiling as his eyes slowly changed into something more of the hazel sparkling eyes.. 

"The last training session might be very tough and hard tonight,” he added.

“I just hope we don't get to be worked out so much, because I am still kinda stressed from the earlier training," I said laying on my back with my eyes to the ceiling.

"Well, you have to prepare for the worst because it might turn out to be a very very long night," he added.

Oh shit!!!!….
