BLOOD LEGACIES
Chapter 93: Hunt

~

I couldn’t help the heat tumbling off my body, I have not been in the right state of sanity ever since a week ago, I haven’t seen Emma and I couldn’t get my thoughts straight. When my dad found out about everything it only made the consequences worse, I disregarded him, I disobeyed our Alpha, that was something that cannot be left aside.

My mom chastised me for it, well scolded me for letting him know because she knew I was still seeing Emma, she seems to understand I guess.

I couldn’t bring myself to turn on my phone, I didn’t know what to say to her, I could still remember the frightened looks she gave me, it was just like that day, I promised myself that wouldn’t happen again but I went ahead and botched it, maybe she hates me now, well how would I know when I haven’t turned on my damn phone?!

Ugh! This was making my blood blemish and my head was a tangle, my mom was right I was losing it, and fuck Emilia too. She went to school, and saw Emma! And told her I won’t be coming to school anymore, that was the truth but I didn’t like it, not seeing my baby girl was like a torment to me and it felt like I was breaking within me, a funny feeling I have never experience before and it was all because I haven’t seen my angel, and I don’t think I will ever have the chance to, our last meeting wasn’t exactly amicable, that did not set the course right.

I was both infuriated and frustrated, and I needed a run, a really long run and I hope I would somewhat cool off, I was running on several emotions here like I was having an internal battle within me, and I felt like combusting from them, thoughts in my head, the aching feeling against my muscles, all this was unsettling, I haven’t even slept for days because of it.

Not wanting to hear any more of Emilia’s disheartening fact, I walked out of the door taking off my shirt and discarding it. I was marching towards the woods already taking my pants off too and then my boxers followed. Werelions are never cognizant of nakedness, it’s like an everyday ritual here, mostly for the males, those were things we didn’t bother about, you should see us on a hunt.

I felt my body assembling more heat and vapor emitting off me, I shook my head like I had something on it but it was just my lion taking over, I heard my bones splintering and reshaping, and I felt myself accumulating more heat and hairs growing in all parts of my body, my face taking the elongated shape of a lion, yes this wasn’t a half shift like that day I saved Emma, this was a full shift which calls for more reshaping.

I growled allowing my lion to take over, my fur was a shady gold cover that covered my entire body, my feet were no longer feet but paws with sharp silver nails and my legs were not the normal straight form, it was reshaped like a lion, and my calf sticking out, even in all this transforming I stood on my two feet, yes we can walk like that only when we needed to run we go down on all fours.

My mane came forth and covered my hair, and I felt my saber tooth drop, knowing the transformation was finalized I stood like the pride creature I was, all hairy with a lion appearance and my whispers sticking out, my tail wag back and forth behind me, in my full form I stood about 8’4 even though that was twice my natural height.

I bellowed to the skies allowing the trees to shock from it making the birds scatter from my feral outcry before I sprinted into the woods in gait, I was like a blur on all fours flashing in all parts in less than a second, feeling the dirt against my paws and allowing the wild waft to engulf my mane and hair, and also breathing the air with my nose, this was exactly what I needed, the fresh scent of nature, but it all turned to zero when I pictured Emma in my senses, great! Maybe running wasn’t gonna do it, I have to hunt!

I dashed towards another area, we own a wide tropical area in the whole of Juneau that belongs just to us and there was some device that tells us if the areas are clear of humans.

I made a stop going on my two feet, my gleaming golden eyes on the monitor against the tree. If it was red it meant there were humans but green means clear, just like a usual traffic light. Good, it was green, I raced in a zap going deeper into the woods, and the settling sun highlight spread across the clear route.

I came to a stop reducing the sharp sound of my run when I spotted a deer, mindlessly sniffing its nose on the ground. My mouth watered when I saw the hunk of meat before me, I lowered more against the grasses until I was unseen. I didn’t take my eyes off my target nor did I blink, I was quiet and reserved and patiently waiting for the right time.

I gave a quiet growl watching as the deer made several walks and then backed me, I knew it was time.

Before the falling leaf from a tree hit the ground I had already lunged at my prey.

It was already dark and I have had my fill, I resorted to taking it raw, what I did not plan, fuck! I should have taken it back home but I couldn’t help the excitement that coursed through me after, so much for discipline in the art of refinement. I was bloody bathed and back to my run, jumping on several streams, I could hear my fast pacing breath.

I came to a stop seeing the familiar lights, good I was home, I went on my two feet, proud as I walked further but when I saw a road, wait, road? and cars and houses lying around but covered in trees that you could barely see in the covering, and street light? This was not home then...

I froze as my gleaming eyes landed on a familiar two-cottage house, Emma’s home.

What the fuc-
