Chapter 8 - Frustration

Alpha Velveta's green eyes fell on their connected hands with a hint of disgust. "get out of here," he growled at him.

Ezra did not want to stay here anyway. He shook off Rio's hand and moved out. he didn't forget to give a middle finger to his back before closing the door.

Somehow his mood was completely down. he felt frustrated and annoyed.

"I just saved his son's ass and this is the thanks I get." He grumbled as he walked out of the ward. On the way, he noticed that familiar nurse who gave him the disgusting look whispering something to other nurses.

He gave her a middle finger as well.

the women growled softly.

Ezra walked out of the hospital in a completely fucked-up mood. he glanced around the empty parking lot close by with a small growl.

He called up his friend but his line was busy. "Fuck!"

Growling he stomped his feet.

The hospital was quite far from the town. By car, it would take at least twenty minutes but by foot, it would take a lot longer.

The whole place was shrouded with huge Cyprus trees towering up in the sky. This part of the forest was closed off for the Human as well as for werewolves as it was quite close to the town.

The city council feared that humans might spot the humongous wolves and would get freaked out.

So this rule was put in place.

To deter the human from entering this place a huge fence was added with a board that says prohibited area.

Ezra jumped over the fence and ran into the dense forest, quickly stripping off his clothes.

He shoved them into his backpack. "I can't believe I'm breaking another rule because of that maggot… the next time Rio gets stung I will just leave him to die. who wants to save that annoying pest like him. maggot's father is just a fly anyway. They are all annoying pests.." he grumbled as he went down to his knees.

Soon loud crushing sounds of bone came, he was on all fours in just a second.

His brown fur was slightly curled making it shaggy and untamable. Some strands even got into his eyes.

He shook his head, pushing the hair out of his eyes.

biting the bag in his mouth, he darted off into the forest.

His dark figure dashed in between the tree, evoking a small trail of dust behind him.

The cool wind caressed his fur giving him tingles. This was the feeling he had missed for a long time.

When running in his real form, it felt free.

He was one with the wind

One with the earth, his existence completely blended with the brown foliage on the ground.

He was in his element.

Panting, Ezra stopped next to a huge tree. The roots were all propped up. he laid down his head on the root and closed his eyes.

The soft sounds of birds chirping entered his ears. His wolf ears twitched slightly hearing the melodious music.

Nothing could beat the sense of peace he felt in the forest.

His waterfall was his best spot but this forest was nothing less that the second place in his heart.

He sighed softly.

His phone rang right at that moment.

Ezra bit the zip tenderly and pulled it open. his phone fell out easily. He licked the green call button. The call connected instantly.

"yoo, sorry man, I was in the bathroom. Just two tacos and I ended up pooping all my stomach's content."

"Woof." He interrupted him.

"Huh? Are you in your wolf form? What's wrong?" he friend's casual tone went hard. "Where are you? I'll come get you,"

"Woof woof."

"Dude, I don't understand wolf language. You know that,"

Sighing Ezra shifted back to his human form. "I'm in the forest close to the hospital."

"Be there in ten,"

Ezra dropped the phone and picked up his rolled-up clothes. He wore his shirt in a hurry and sat his butt naked ass on the ground. He touched his chest. "Why do I get that empty feeling again…."

It was weird. His heart was aching.. pulling him towards something.

He did not like this uncomfortable feeling at all.

Ezra hurriedly wore his pants and waited by the edge of the forest.

soon Mateo's car rolled over. He jumped into the passenger's seat.

His friend chuckled and removed a leaf from his curled-up hair. "You went wild, didn't you? who pissed you off?"

"Velveta." He growled.

"that's why I asked you to leave that ass rolling on the ground. If he is dead, less trouble for you," he playfully punched his shoulders.

"Yeah, and more jail time for me," he adjusted his shirt collar. "Look, I hate that man. But not to the limit where I want to kill him. I don't think I can deal with myself if I let that happen,"

Mateo just nodded handing him a take-out bag. "you're favorite curly fries,"

"Cool!" he dug in.

Changing always took a lot of energy out of his body. So, the pack had been told not to change much. They had to preserve their energy to use it when they were in absolute danger.

So Their animalistic self was locked in most of the time.

Mateo massaged his shoulders slightly. "Does it still hurt?"

"No, just sore,"

Mateo was a human. He was the only one of the younger generations who knew about the werewolves and such. This guy had been his diaper buddy, but even so, he hid the truth from him for a very long time.

Only after he hit thirteen and had his shift did he tell Mateo.

The man took the information like a champ.

And till now he had been a great help to him.

Ezra looked at him gratefully.

"ew what look was that?"

"I love you, buddy,"

Mateo wretched. "Oh my god, I think my lunch is coming back up,"

"Shut up," he playfully punched him.

Mateo just laughed like a silly fool.

Ezra took a photo of him. "oh by the way did you save the pics I sent you,"

"of course, epic history is saved in my special blackmail folder," he held up his phone to him.

Ezra opened his phone with his finger print and checked his gallery. Of course, his friend had a blackmail folder with a ton of photos.

It even had photos of his younger self wearing diapers.

"Dude! I told you to delete this pic!"

He tried to delete it but it asked for a password.

Ezra glared at him.

"What can I say, my blackmail folder has to be protected from the likes of you." he pulled the phone out of his hand and shoved it in his pants. "don't worry, I won't show it to anyone. except I will display it in your wedding."

"Dude!!"

"If you have a wedding."

Ezra's mood went down. "Yeah, in this rate I will end up being a thirty-year-old virgin."
