my answer was the same. I didn’t want to talk to him because I didn’t know what was going to happen. I was extremely nervous about joining a pack, about completely changing my life. And I just didn’t know what to do.
Friday night and Saturday morning, I tried to distract myself by drawing with my oils. I wanted to transfer my drawing of the wolf onto a canvas. There was no way I could try to recreate the drawing that had been given to me. And I still wondered who it was that gave it to me.
I only came out of my room to eat and go to the bathroom. I had only been in my room for fifteen minutes after lunch when my mom knocked on my door. “Selina, there’s someone here to see you.”
My eyes widened. “W-Who?”
“It’s the Fairbanks boy.”
I gave her a confused look. “London?”
“Yeah, that was his name. We didn’t really talk to him at the New Year’s party, but I recognize him from there. Why is he here if you don’t mind me asking?”
He probably wants me to ask him some questions, I thought but didn’t say. “I’m not sure. He is my Chemistry lab partner, so he’s probably here for that. Go tell him to hold on for a few minutes.” There was no way I was going to the door dressed in my pajamas.
She nodded, and closed my door back.
I quickly dressed in jeans and a sweater, put my socks and some boots on, and ventured into the bathroom to brush my hair and teeth. Afterwards, I grabbed my phone, keys, wallet, and coat, and went outside. He probably didn’t want to talk here since my parents were home and could possibly overhear us.
Before I opened the door, I told my parents, who were sitting on the couch, “I’m going to go help London with our Chemistry homework.” Before they could respond, I was outside.
London stood on the porch, dressed in jeans and a buttoned up coat, hands in the pockets. His face was expressionless, as it pretty much always was, but his pale blue eyes were full of concern. “We really need to talk, Selina,” he softly said.
“I figured. How’d you know where I live?”
“We were in the woods, behind your house when you moved in. We had to see if you were a threat to us or not.”
“Gee, thanks,” I said, rolling my eyes.
He ignored my comment, and asked, “Want to go to my place or somewhere else?”
“Well, I think I know what you want to talk about, so I guess your place so people won’t hear us.”
He nodded, and pulled his phone out of his pocket. After typing for a moment, he put it back. Did he just tell everyone to leave his house? I didn’t ask, and headed over to my car.
“Did you walk here?” I asked as I opened the driver side door. There wasn’t a car in the driveway or on the side of the road.
“Yeah, but I’m used to it. We run pretty fast when we’re patrolling the territory, so walking long distances doesn’t bother me.” He opened the passenger side door of my car.
After I pulled out of the driveway, I asked, “What was it you wanted to talk about?”
“You may want to wait until after we get there.”
I gave him a confused look. “Why?”
“Because I don’t want you to wreck your new car.”
Now I was worried about what he wanted to talk about. Would I be shocked or angry or what at the conversation? I wanted to ask, but stayed quiet instead.
Because I had been following his scent last week, I had to have London tell me where to go. I couldn’t remember the turns I had taken to get there. He only lived about fifteen minutes away from me, five minutes of that was going down the driveway.
After I parked and turned the car off, London showed me into his house. It was quiet, so I was guessing that there was no one here, just us. While London collapsed onto one of the couches, I opted for a chair. “Well, what did you want to talk about?” I asked.
“I was just curious as to why you’re taking everything so well. I’ve known some
