You are wanted. {Draft from Akela's Story}

I didn’t understand. Why would all the guys like her over me. Well, I did understand. I sat on a stone not far from the forest edge, resting my head in my hand, and watched. They swarmed around her like bees on a honey hive, and she was enjoying it all too much too. When I came to the gathering, I thought I would have fun. I thought there would be constant celebration for Lycan like me, the new comers, and celebration for the pagans too. However, in the first couple of days there was mostly planing, leaving me, who was a young werewolf with no place in the pack just yet, to sit and wait. Sitting and waiting was painful though. I was the only one who was literally sitting and waiting. The other new girl was beautiful, tall, slender, blonde and flirty. She was everything I wasn’t. I had dark annoying curly hair, more weight on me than she had, and so many freckles. I had soft kid like features, and even though I wasn’t skinny, I wasn’t to big. I was just a bit cubby, with curves and strength. I guess the guys didn’t like that.
That would explain the lack of boyfriends. I had experienced this throughout all my high school career, so I guess I was use to it already. So, she had plenty of time to flirt with every guy at the gathering, I had plenty of time wondering how to get my share of the attention. I don’t know how long I was sitting there before I saw the long legs of Akela move towards me out of the corner of my eye. Great. She was something else. I didn’t know how she made me feel. I suddenly got nervous. She was our pack leader, and she was so soft looking yet intimidating, and always nice to me, but scary to others. I didn’t know what was going to happen, so I just didn’t move. I smelt her scent of vanilla and lavender right away, and it was only moments before her hands were on my shoulders. She knelt down behind me. I felt her soft black hair brush my cheek, and my face grew hot. Her warm breath was on my ear.
“You are just as wanted as she is.” She whispered. My heart jumped and I tried not to flinch, but I think she noticed anyway, because I heard her smile and get up and walk away
