Chapter 4

Luciana's POV

The handsome man had left and Miss Arielle dropped her cute act. She looked business-like.

I gulped softly. I had watched on the internet that people who could switch their moods as easily as she could were psychopaths and sadists. On a few occasions, they were masochists.

The lady narrowed her eyes like she heard my thoughts.

I moved back a little, biting my lips to keep myself from crying. She looked so scary.

She suddenly started laughing and I was confused.

"You're a good person."

"Huh?"

"Well, at least that's what I think. There's no sure way of knowing if you're a good person or if this is all a facade." She said mumbling to herself.

I stood looking like a horse that was desperately in need of water.

She led me into her study room and the room was magnificent, like the entire mansion.

"Are you a wolf Luciana?" She asked, sitting down and resting her back against the chair.

I didn't say anything because I remembered what Celina told me. I was never to reveal my identity as a white wolf.

"Don't lie to me girl, I'll know. " she said, resting her head on her palms with a bored expression.

"Yes, I'm a wolf." I replied truthfully.

"Nice, which means you're up for the job."

I furrowed my brows in confusion."What do you mean? I already got the job."

She rubbed her eyes like she was fighting sleep and sighed."Normally, I'm not supposed to ask if you're a wolf or not because if you were a human, you'd end up being aware of the existence of werewolves. Something which is not permitted. I don't want to spend three hours explaining to the dumb council why I revealed myself to a human."

"Then, why did you ask? If you were putting yourself at risk."

"A fellow blackwolf introduced you to me, so I knew you weren't human. You could be a fae or a vampire, you might even be a dragon. I needed to confirm because I couldn't get your scent."

"My scent?"

"Yes, your scent. Damn! Don't you know anything about yourself? Weren't you taught before you left home? "

"No. My family..they hate me. I never got any proper education about myself or my history."

"Okay, that's understandable. But, you don't even know that you have a scent?" She asked, annoyed and amused at the same time.

"No." I said with a sheepish smile.

She sighed. "How old are you?"

"I just turned twenty three months ago."

"Oh, so you've not shifted before. That explains it. You're still a cub." She said, nodding to herself and rubbing her chin.

"I'm not supposed to shift yet at my age?" I asked like I had just gotten new information.

"Well, not exactly. Black wolves shift as early as possible,white wolves shift at eighteen, brown wolves shift at age 25, gray wolves at age 9, and finally the emerald wolves. They shift when they turn 21."

"Do you know who I am perhaps? " I asked anxiously.

"Yes, I do." She replied.

I gasped and she smiled.

"How do I know, you want to ask. "

I kept quiet and her smile widened.

"You're Luciana El Salvador of the Creek clan. Aren't you?"

I was dumbstruck. She was definitely going to kill me now.

"How did you know?" I asked slowly, trying to prolong my life for as long as I could.

"That holds no importance." She said shutting me up. "Well, do you have any questions to ask? Hurry, I have a business to get to."

I racked my brain, thinking of a sensible question, I didn't want to appear more stupid.

"Um.. Emerald wolves? What are Emerald wolves?" I asked.

"That's a good question, cub." She said praising me

I blushed a little, feeling proud of myself.

"The Emerald wolves are a special breed of wolves. They don't really have a specific color. They could be either black, white, gray or brown. What makes them so special is their powers. Only one emerald wolf is born every century. In a few cases, two might be born. The Emerald wolves represent a lot of spirituality unlike the other wolves. Their blood is a healing and purifying source.Their blood also has other uses, but because I'm not a creep and I definitely won't be using their blood, I have never bothered to find other uses for their blood. They're extremely hard to find because they hide themselves. They hide themselves because if they're not hidden, they would die." She said, breathing out like she had just completed a marathon.

I was amazed. Who knew that being a werewolf was as amazing as this?

"You know a lot about our world!" I said with stars in my eyes.

"Of course I do! I paid attention in class, Cub." She said tousling my hair

I smiled and felt a little bit happy when she did that. She reminded me of my elder brother, Lorenzo. The only one who cared for me in my godforsaken family.

"Cub, have you had breakfast?" She asked, bringing me back to reality.

I shook my head."I haven't. "

"Come downstairs so you can eat."

"Um.. can I go to the restroom please, I'm feeling uncomfortable."

She nodded and showed me the restroom.

I locked the door behind me as soon as I got to the restroom.

I had been feeling uncomfortable since I saw the handsome man. My throat felt itchy and dry.

I decided to wash my face, maybe I was feeling that way due to me being anxious.

I was about to wash my face when I saw that my nails had elongated. It was as long as Lorenzo's nail when he partially shifted.

"Why are my nails as long as this?"

Celina's POV

"She's staying with me. The only girl of the El Salvador family." I said to the man in black.

"That's good. I cannot help but have the feeling that she is connected to Duncan in a way." He said rubbing his chin.

"Well, that just makes things easier for us, don't you think?" I asked.

He nodded." I'll start staying with you as of today."
