The Wolf In Me novel Chapter 11

Luka's POV

I have just come out of the shower so I was still dripping wet. Mei gazed at me biting her lip.

"What?" I asked breaking the silence. She shrugged her shoulders and smiled, still gazing at my whole body.

"I thought dry you were sexy, but when wet, you make me feel like I am watching the doors of heaven. Oh Goodness. You make me melt," I chuckled and started to dry myself up.

"Sorry to cut your fun short but I need to start preparing because I don't want to be late."

I wiped my toes and placed the wet towel in the washing bin. I glanced at Mei as she made a sad-looking face but still on the playful side.

After dressing up we decided to choose our evening clothes too so not to waste time later on.

"Come on. Which one?" I asked lifting two pairs of trousers.

"Black jeans," she said pointing out at the one on the right.

"And which shirt?" I grabbed the two shirts that were laying on the bed.

"That one," she smiled pointing at the white shirt. "And what about me? The red or the blue dress?" She asked.

I looked at both dresses intently. The very long blue dress had a v neck going down below the chest. Half of the backside was made of lace and the rest of it was all silk. The red dress started from the shoulders and was a tight fit but then opened up falling softly over her long legs. It had some pleats on the side that shortened that part exposing her left leg that spoke sexy.

"Considering that you might be a good asset to getting the pack back in order, I think the red dress would be a wiser choice to pick," I winked at her as she smiled.

I drove Mei's car to the packhouse which was just a few minutes away from her small house. As soon as we reached its grounds my thoughts shifted back into the past.

I once lived there with my family. We occasionally used to travel to the human territory for a few short stays so mum would be able to visit her side of her family, but when papa passed away my mother chose for both of us to permanently live next to her family in the hopes to start over and to make sure I will never remember my past after she bought that f****n potion from that damned witch.

I locked the car and started walking towards the six floors high and very wide, beautiful building. I stopped just outside where there was once a large garden that gave you that relaxing sensation. It was always smelling of fresh flowers and the light breeze was all I ever wanted to feel after some hard training with the pack.

"Do you remember how beautiful this was?" I asked Mei.

She nodded as she leaned down noticing a pink rose that was covered by a bunch of other weeds. She inhaled its scent, putting her face as close to it as possible, gently pulling it forward.

"Mother loved these roses. It reminded me of her," she said as her eyes suggested that she was in deep thought.

She looked up at me with a vibrant look.

"We will bring everything back to life Lulu," she said standing straight. "Nothing will stop me from bringing everything back to life" she repeated with assuring eyes. I sighed as I stared at the mess around me.

I remembered there was a pathway to the dungeons outside. Its doors were somewhere around the garden but now it was hidden by the large plants that covered every inch of the location. I started walking towards the spot where I was convinced I should find the door. As I reached the spot I pushed away the plants revealing it. It was a huge metal door that had a large wolf's face at its centre. I glanced at Mei before breaking its lock which did a very loud sound that echoed in the dungeons.

"Gentlemen first just this once," she said teasingly.

I smiled at her joke then took my first few steps down the dirty stairs.

"Ugh, smells like rotten eggs down here."

I almost gagged as the scent was too strong. This place was closed for years and did not have any good ventilation.

"Is there any light?" She asked peeping at the entrance, still not willing to come down yet.

"Let's see."

I switched the phone on pressing the torch and looked around for a switch.

"Yep. Here it is."

The click of the switch echoed and the lights turned on revealing all the spider webs and dirt.

"Now are you convinced to join me down here?" I asked.

"Maybe. Hmm. Fine," she answered not finding any other excuse.
