The Wolf Without A Name

We stood silently within the small room hearing footsteps outside, waiting for it to disappear. The grey hair man turned to look at us, placing one of his fingers across his lips, instructing us to be quiet. My body jumped frighteningly as we heard a loud crashing sound.

A dark cloud of sadness covered my entire body; knowing the red hair man outside was not my father; but who was he and why was he here? I thought worried.

"Ah," I heard Cindy made a strange sound as if she were in pain. I turned to look at her, trying my best to not make any sound in being discovered. And there I saw her body soaked by her sweat and shivering like a leaf.

"No," I heard Francine said softly as she went over to her immediately grabbing her into her arms. Catching her as she was about to fall onto the floor. The grey hair man ran over to them trying his best too to be quiet, stooping onto the brown board floor. He looks at Francine, petrified, and back at Cindy..

Cindy Laid within Francine's arms continued shivering. Worried I went over to her.

"No, no, this can't be happening," the grey-haired man cursed. I look at him confused, clueless about what he was talking about.

About to ask what it was. I saw Francine reached for a small white bottle in her pocket. Inside I saw a bright green liquid.

"You can't give this to her," the grey-haired man whispered. "It's for her," he said as he looked at me.

I continued to look at the small bottle within her hand, wanting to know what it was. Were they planning on poisoning me? I thought worried.

"I have to give it to her now or she will reveal Christian's secret home," she explained to the man.

I was surprised by what she said. This place I was in belongs to the dark large wolf who fought his father for me. I thought, surprisingly.

"If you give it to her, what will you do when her time comes?" the grey hair man inquired her angrily.

When my times come? I repeated within my mind. I did not understand what they were talking about and had become curious as to what it was.

"Hun, you're going to destroy the entire plan," he again said angrily. I then realize the grey hair man was her mate. She wanted to help me in finding my father.

Ignoring what he said Francine threw out the entire liquid down Cindy's throat. Cindy stops shaking as she closes her eyes, passing out. Soon we heard no more sound outside. It seems as if the strange red hair man was no longer around.

"I'm going to check to see if he is gone," Francine mate said as he gently removes himself from the floor exiting the room. I watched him as he exits the room while questions flooded my mind eager to know what they were talking about, but first I had to find out what was happening to my friend.

I look at Cindy worried.

"What happened to her; is she sick?" I asked Francine.

Francine smiled at me; while she asked me to assist Cindy up onto the bed. Wanting her to lay comfortable.

"Did I say something wrong?" I again inquired Francine. Wanting to know why she smiled instead of answering me.

"She found her mate," she answered.

Recollecting what Josh said that one day I will find my mate. I did not quite understand it, on how I would. I thought it would be meeting him and we fall in love. And not like how Cindy behaves.

"But why did she behave like that?" I had to ask Francine.

"Whenever a she-wolf passes the age of 18 without meeting her mate her body causes her to react in such way when she finally does," she told me.

I shook my head still clueless about what she was talking about. Being lock up within the cell I knew nothing about being a werewolf; I only knew I could shift into a hairy beast.

Francine again smiled at me and said, "Don't worry you're young you will find out how beautiful it is to find a mate who will love you forever and treat you like his queen."

I smiled hoping one day; I will fall in love with someone who will love me for eternity and too protect me. My mind suddenly went on Christian. Remembering how he protects me from his father. And now I was living in his secret spot. I had to save him just like he did to me. There must be a way of waking him up, I thought worried.

Quickly I turned to look at the bedroom door seeing it open. It was Francine's mate with a bright smile on his face.

"The young red hair man is gone," he told us as he walked up to the bed and look at Cindy unconscious from the weird liquid Francine gave her.

"She has a young mate," the man said while he stares at Cindy. "He's the same age as her," he pointed at me.

Curious to how he would have known; a question escapes my lips.

"The red hair man would have known his mate was here if he wasn't eighteen," he answered me.

He will know when the full moon arrives," he continued.

Francine's husband started to look at me strangely; wondering why I did not know and inquired me.

"That is why we need to find her father," Francine answered him.

I felt relieved Francine had saved me; being free from the cell I was tired of telling wolves my sad stories and the reason for the lack of knowledge in certain things I should have known being a wolf.

"Seeing him from behind; he reminds me of her father at a younger age," the grey-haired man said, while he turned his attention back to me.

"But it couldn't be," Francine said. "How could he be having the same age as her," they continued to talk about me.

"Yeah," Her mate said as he ran his hand through his hair. "I am old and need glasses," he said while he smiled.

Francine returned his smile. I stared at them wanting to smile as well, but I was sad about Christian. I could not stop thinking of him. I started to curse myself from inside; knowing it was me to blame for what had happened to him.

"Don't worry we will find your father," Francine mate ensured me.

I nodded. I did not care about finding my father nor was I interested in seeing the rapist. I just wanted to be somewhere I could feel safe and not be punished for being born of **** and killing my mother, but first I had to find a way in saving Christian.

Francine came close to me touching my right cheek.

"I know you're worried about what is happening to you, but my mate and I will try to get you out of Alpha Pharaoh territory before he finds you," Francine said while she strokes my cheek gently.

I smile, hiding my sadness.

She stares into my green eyes and again told me my father will keep me safe.

Hating on how she kept on reminding me of that awful man. I gently removed her hand away from my cheek.

"Are you alright?" Francine inquired me worried.

Not wanting her to know I was not interested in finding my father. I inquired her about the green substances within the small bottle and why she was saving it for me.

She slowly turned around, not wanting to answer me.

Eager to know what the hell it was. I again inquired her.

Still, she said nothing.

"Are you trying to hurt me?" I again inquired her while I cry.

"No," she answered me while she turns around quickly, coming closer to me.

"Then why won't you tell me what it is?" I asked her.

"It's an herb that prevents you from running to your mate," she told me.

I widen my eyes; and turned to look at Cindy fast asleep. I understand why they gave it to Cindy but felt sad. They did not want her to reveal our new secret hideout and worst the red hair man did not know, Cindy was his mate. Still, I was clueless as to why they want to save it for me instead. Didn't they want me to find my mate? I thought

"Why will you want to prevent me from finding my only happiness within the world?" I inquired Francine.

"It's the best way to protect you," she answered me sadly. Going to him, it will be dangerous for you, she said.

"From what?" I asked her; desperately in knowing.

Suddenly I heard Cindy cough. I ran over to her immediately, holding her hand.

"I found my mate, I found him," Cindy said while she smiled happily.

"I know," I answered her; while I glance at Francine knowing what she did to her.

Cindy slowly sat up, discovering she was laying on the bed.

"What happened?" she inquired me. As she looked around.

Francine walked past me approaching her and answered, "You pass out after you discovered you had found him," she lied.

I looked at her surprisingly, knowing she did this to her. She stopped her from reaching out to her mate. Francine ran her hand through Cindy's dark hair and instructed me to follow her into the kitchen. I glance at Cindy feeling sad I had betrayed her. She had been so kind to me from the first time we met and even went through her ways in helping me finding Josh. I hated knowing what Francine had done to her; even though it was the best way to keep this house we were in a secret.

We exit the room leaving Cindy.

I suddenly become tired of Francine not giving the right answers to my questions I wanted to know. If I was going to stay here. She had to let me know the secrets she was keeping from me and why?

**Happy new yea
